Wooden Snowman Tutorial
supplies:
- 2×4 cut to 6 inches long {included in kit}
- 2×4 cut to 8.5 inches long {included in kit}
- white paint
- paint brush
- black marker
- liquid glue
- glitter
- sandpaper
- fabric for scarfs {included in kit}
- sand the edges of the wood.
- paint the wood white. spray paint or craft paint works great.
- draw 2 eyes with the marker. *tip: i tied the fabric scarf on so i could use it as a reference for eye placement.
4. apply a thick coat of liquid glue to all sides {except the bottom} with the paint brush. i used Decoupaige which acts as a sealer as well.
5. while the glue is still wet, sprinkle on glitter. *Tip: do this inside of a box or a cookie sheet to catch the excess glitter. brush out any glitter that fell onto the eyes.
6. tie on the fabric scarf. and you’re done!!
love them! they are going on my winter mantel. {will post pics next week}
happy crafting! linda

Hi! Is there a reason you used Decoupage glue as opposed to Mod Podge or other ones? Sorry if this is a stupid question — I am just beginning to craft and don’t know what is what.
Hi Maya,
Not a stupid question! I used Decoupage because that’s what I had on hand. Mod Podge would work well too.
happy crafting!

Love this snowman. Did you use 2×4 or 4×6 pieces of wood? Or are they different sizes?
Hi Sue Kelly,
I used pieces of 2×4 in different sizes. Thanks for stopping by!
happy crafting,
Linda
I love the snowmen. I would’nt think a 2×6 piece of wood would stand up by it self. Great easy craft.

Just saw your snowmen on Pinterest … they are so cute and easy to
To make. So glad I read all the comments from people to get a correct size
Of the boards you used. I know I have enough scraps around to make them.
Love the simplicity of them!!
Hi Linda,
I’m a fashion consulting in Brazil, but since I got pregnant from my first baby I’m in love with crafting!
I’m doing by myself my newborn souvenir!
I loved to know your blog and your work! I really want to dedicate my time (after the first months of Frederico born) to crafting!
Thanks for being an inspiration!
Kind regards,
Paula
This is so darn cute!! My sister will love this :)
What do you charge for these?
Hi Kim, I am no longer selling these kits. So sorry!
