How to Make a Melted Snowman Ornament

You know how I love all things quirky, well combine that with my love for handmade ornaments and this DIY Melted Snowman Ornament totally fits the bill!

Once upon a time I signed up for a homemade ornament gift exchange and I sent her a melted Utah Snowman. It is still one of my favorite ornaments I’ve ever made. I’m still so thrilled at how it turned out almost 10 years later.

I’m kind of a DIY Christmas ornament junkie. Here are some of my other favorites you might be interested in.

Melted Snowman Supplies

Some of these supplies I was kind of lucky to find I know. But if you can’t get your hands on them all of them just skip that one or get creative and do something else.

I am linking options on Amazon but many of these things you can find cheaper at the dollar store or your local craft store.

beads for eyes
orange foam sheet (or scrap of fabric) for nose
tiny glasses (I found these in the doll making section of the craft store)
scrap of fabric for the scarf
glitter glue
skinny tweezers
ribbon and tag
clear ornament bulbs
twig-ish things for the arms (I found chicken feet and cut them and thought they worked well)

If you can find these it would be cool.

mini hat (mine wouldn’t fit through the hole of the bulb hole)
mini pipe

How to make it a Melted Snowman Christmas Ornament

These are so easy. They would be fun enough to do at a little make and take with the girls or help the kiddos to make these to send to family far away.

Squeeze some glitter glue in, spread it with a Q-tip if it needs some help. Make sure not to make too deep of a pile or your snow man pieces will just sink. You want them to be nice and visible and on the top.
Use tweezers and carefully place everything where you want them
Attach a tag with a ribbon
Let dry

I originally made this as a part of Pampering Beki’s Ornament exchange. I received the most adorable ornament from Kate at https://thequirkyredhead.com.
