⭐Why This Craft is Awesome
- The best part about this snowman craft is it can either be used as is or can be easily turned into an ornament for your Christmas tree.
- A fun craft to make with your child.
- Perfect to do on a cold or snowy day.
🖍️Supply Notes
- Black & White Felt - for the snowman's body and hat.
- Orange Pipe Cleaner - used for the nose.
- Red Ric Rac Trim or Ribbon - makes a fun scarf.
- Googly Eyes - provide some fun movement for the craft.
- White Poms - for the head.
- Buttons - small ones in various colors.
- Skinny Tree Branches - these make the perfect snowman arms.
- Black Acrylic Paint - to paint on the "coal" mouth.
- Hot Glue or Elmer’s Glue - If you have a small child, use Elmer's glue. If you use a hot glue gun, make sure an adult is operating it and keep it away from children.
📋Step by Step Instructions
STEP 1: Glue two eyes on each white pom pom. Cut an orange pipe cleaner into small pieces and glue it onto the pom poms to make a carrot nose. Using a small paintbrush, paint a smile on the pom poms by making 4-5 dots of black paint. Set aside the pom poms and let them dry.
STEP 2: Using scissors, cut out cloud-shaped circles from the white felt to represent the melting snow. A good size to make these are 3-4 inches wide. Cut small top hats out of the black felt.
STEP 3: Glue the white pom head and black felt hat near the top on the white melting snow felt. Again, if working with kids use white glue, or else use a glue gun as it dries quicker.
STEP 4: Cut about 3-4 inches of red ric rac trim for the scarf. Fold the trim in half and glue to the right or left of the white pom pom. Then, cut small “snowman hands” off the tree branches. Glue each of the branch arms to the melting snow.
STEP 5: The last step is to glue 3 buttons to each felt snowman.
There you have it! You now have an adorable melted snowman craft.

Tip 1: You can use Elmer's glue or a glue gun. If you are working with kids, use white glue just to be safe.
🤷🏻♀️Craft FAQs
If you can't find this kind of trim, red ribbon works just as well. I just like the curvy look of the ric rac trim.
It is very easy to make this cute little snowman into a Christmas ornament. Simply glue a loop of ribbon to the back and hang it on your tree.
