Deck the trees with sweet, personalized snow person families! These cute ornaments are simple to make and easy to customize. You can embellish them in lots of different ways. Here are two cute ideas for you to try so you can craft your own whimsical snowman family ornament.
Supplies Used to Make Snowman Family Ornament
- Mini Birch Disks
- Small Wood Sign with Wire Hanger
- Permanent Markers in Black and Orange
- Wood Glue
- Hat with Scarf Set
- Paint: White and Sky Blue
- Fabric Strips
- Driftwood
- Twine
- Alphabet Stencil
- White Paint Marker
Step one: Select cuts of wood from the bag to make the snowmen. You’ll need two pieces per family member.
Step two: Glue the pieces together using wood glue with a dot of hot glue to hold it together as it dries.
Step three: Use the black permanent marker to draw in the eyes, mouth, and buttons. Use the orange marker to draw the triangle nose.
Step four: Cut thin strips of fabric to make the scarves. Tie them around the “necks” of the snowmen.
Step five: Paint the small wood sign. First paint the bottom section with snow white paint. Don’t forget to paint the sides, too! Then paint the top with sky blue paint. Let this dry.
Step six: Use a stencil and a white paint marker (or chalk marker) to add the family name to the wood pieces. I used adhesive stencils to get the cleanest lettering possible.
Step seven: Glue the snow people onto the wood. For the driftwood, glue the figures on top of the wood stick. Again, use wood glue with a dot of hot glue. The hot glue will keep the pieces from slipping off while the wood glue dries. With the hanging sign, glue the figures right onto the wood.
Step eight: Embellish the ornaments with trees and the hat & scarf miniatures. Tie a piece of twine around the ends of the driftwood stick to make a hanger.
These cute ornaments look great hanging on doors, too. It would be a fun way to welcome overnight guests to your home…by hanging their names on their doors! In addition to wall decor, you could also use these as gift tags. What a versatile project! Have fun crafting and creating little snow person families!
