Snowman Crafts for Kids: Bookmarks & Ornaments

Christmas· Kids Stuff· Winter

I usually get roped into coming up with a craft for the Christmas party at the Elementary school. People think I am “crafty.” I am not sure where they get that. 😉  And right during the holiday season? Because I don’t have a million other things on my plate…

These snowman crafts are perfect for a classroom project! It is really easy for kids of any age, and the materials come in bulk, and are inexpensive. I made two alternatives for you, from the same project: a snowman tree ornament, or a bookmark.

DIY-Snowman-crafts-ornaments-Crafts-UnleashedHere are the supplies I used to create both projects. You can slightly adjust depending on the project you choose.

Supplies needed to make your own snowman crafts:supply-list

  • 1″ White Acrylic Pom Poms
  • .75″ White Acrylic Pom Poms
  • .5″ White Acrylic Pom Poms
  • Small Black Top Hat Decorations
  • 4mm Wiggle Eyes
  • Red/White Candy Cane Chenille Stems
  • G

For Bookmark Snowman:

  • Jumbo Wooden Craft Sticks
  • Green Patterned Washi Tape

For the Ornament Snowman:

  • Green and White Baker’s Twine

DIY-Snowman-crafts-ornaments-Crafts-Unleashed-aHey- do you wanna build a snowman?

Select one of each size of white pom poms and glue them together.

DIY-Snowman-crafts-ornaments-Crafts-Unleashed-b For my snowman crafts, I used a hot glue gun. For little fingers I would choose a school glue, or glue dots.

DIY-Snowman-crafts-ornaments-Crafts-Unleashed-dNext up is dressing the snowman crafts in a magical hat!

Seriously, these things are adorable!

DIY-Snowman-crafts-ornaments-Crafts-Unleashed-cAnd the package comes with 144 hats- so build an army of snowman crafts!

DIY-Snowman-crafts-ornaments-Crafts-Unleashed-eTrim your chenille stems into thirds. You will want about 4″ per snowman.

Wrap the stem around the snowman neck as a scarf. Then, using small glue dots, adhere the wiggle eyes.

DIY-Snowman-crafts-ornaments-Crafts-Unleashed-iThis is your finished snowman- to make him into a bookmark, cover a jumbo wooden craft stick with washi tape.

DIY-Snowman-crafts-ornaments-Crafts-Unleashed-kTrim the ends of the tape with scissors, and adhere the snowman to the end of the stick.

DIY-Snowman-crafts-ornaments-Crafts-Unleashed-lNow your snowman is ready to guard your place in your favorite holiday novel!

DIY-Snowman-crafts-ornaments-Crafts-Unleashed-2To make an ornament out of your snowman, create a tied loop with some baker’s twine. I found a really simple way to make a perfect tied loop- even for little fingers.

Take a 12″ section of baker’s twine, and wrap it around a toilet paper roll. Make a knot.

DIY-Snowman-crafts-ornaments-Crafts-Unleashed-fTie the knot into a bow. Make the bow fairly small, or it will be way too big for your little snowman.

DIY-Snowman-crafts-ornaments-Crafts-Unleashed-gCarefully slide your tied loop off of the toilet paper roll.

DIY-Snowman-crafts-ornaments-Crafts-Unleashed-hAttach your perfectly sized tied loop onto your snowman’s hat.

DIY-Snowman-crafts-ornaments-Crafts-Unleashed-jHe is ready to hang on your tree!

DIY-Snowman-crafts-ornaments-Crafts-Unleashed-1You can see how easy it is to create these cute little snowman crafts! A wonderful (useful!) “kids” craft- for all ages.
