Are you looking for a creative and festive way to add a touch of handmade charm to your Christmas tree this year? These DIY snowman ornaments are the perfect solution! Made with just a few simple materials, they’re a delightful addition to your holiday décor and a fun project for kids and adults alike. Follow the steps below to create your very own snowman ornaments!
You’ll need:
- 3 large white beads
- Paint pens (black, orange, and optional colors for decoration)
- 12 inches of twine
To make:
- Gather three large white beads. These will form the snowman’s body and head.
- Using a black paint pen, draw two small dots for the eyes and a series of dots for the mouth.
- Create a small carrot-shaped nose in the center of the bead with an orange paint pen. Let the paint dry before handling.
- Take another bead and use the black paint pen to draw a vertical row of buttons. This bead will be the snowman’s torso.
- To assemble your snowman, fold your 12-inch piece of twine in half. Thread the beads onto the twine in this order: First, a plain white bead (the snowman’s base). Second, the bead with the buttons. Finally, the decorated snowman head.
- To secure the beads, tie a knot below the bottom bead to keep the beads in place. Tie another knot above the snowman’s head to create a loop for hanging.
- If you’d like, use paint pens to add extra details, such as rosy cheeks, a scarf, or even a little hat!
Your snowman ornament is now ready to grace your Christmas tree. Hang it on a branch and enjoy the festive cheer it brings. These adorable ornaments also make great gifts or gift toppers for friends and family.
