I love creating fun whimsical snowmen !
This one right here is ranked high on the list !
I do have to thank Stephanie from @thevintagepebble for the inspiration!
Here's my take on this cutie!
Supplies you need.
• Small wooden crate
• Large Tuna Can
• Piece of cardboard
• ribbons, strips of materials
• Paint White, Red ,Orange and Black
• Hot Glue
• Snow Tex
• Diamond Dust Glitter
• Clock hands
• small wooden spools
I picked up my wooden create at Family Dollar.
I cut a piece of cardboard to fit over the crate I left a rim around it .
I used a large Tuna Can for the top of the hat.
I painted my crate White and the can and cardboard Black !
I went ahead and let them all dry !
I then took a little red and painted the cheeks on my crate .
You can use whatever brand of paint you have for all colors used in this project!
I also painted my clock hand Orange .
I then glued the cardboard to the top of my crate . Make sure your opening to your create is face up before you glue it on!
Then I glued my can onto the top of cardboard.
Once my nose was dry I glued it on .
I painted my eyes and gave him some eyebrows!
I then painted his smile !
So cute !
I went ahead and gave the hat and brim a wash of white then I speckled it with and old tooth brush.
I had these wooden snowflakes I picked up at Dollar General and I painted it white .
Then I added a fun ribbon band to his hat .
Once my snowflake was dry I grunged it up with some brown ink .
I added a thinner ribbon around the band .. He's just coming to life !
I added some artificial wintery greenery .
I then glued in my snowflake !
I used 4 small wooden spools for the legs .
I painted them white .
Once they were dry I grunged those also with my brown ink !
I glued them to the bottom . They made perfect legs!
I also added some gold greenery I had too!
I made a bow with the material I had on hand .
It just looks so pretty!
I added some Snow Tex I love ❤️ this stuff!
While it was still wet I sprinkled some Diamond Dust glitter!
Here he is so adorable! I love ❤️ how he came out!
I hope you give this project a try !
