I'm a little obsessed with this craft. It reminds me of the funny Jib Jab elf videos you can make at Christmas time. These little guys are taking over my house.
It's super simple, it doesn't require a trip to the store for any special materials, and it's a perfect way to use up some of those leftover holiday photo cards or tiny school photos.
This craft is very forgiving. Use what you have on hand around the house which encourages creativity.
What to gather:
- Stiff paper -- I used a paper plate (it's the perfect size to make a hand held snowman) but you can use cardboard, a piece of a cereal box, a mannila folder, etc.
- Cotton balls
- Headshot photographs
- White liquid glue
- Glue stick
- Scissors
- Something to draw with
- Scraps of ribbon, buttons, sequence, gems, etc.
Step 1: Draw a snowperson shape on the paper plate and cut it out
Step 2: Cut out face from photograph and use the glue stick to position it in center of the snowperson's head (use the glue stick and not the white liquid glue or it the photo could get damaged):
Step 3: Use the white glue to glue cotton balls around the face and all over the snow body
Step 4: Use the ribbon and other embellishments you've collected to personalize your snowperson. Glue them down with the liquid glue:
Step 5: Proudly display your snow family. Mine is taking over the top of the piano. I'm running out of room but I just realized I haven't made one for the dog yet! Happy crafting! #craftingwithkids #winterfun
(If you make a snow family of your own send me a pic and I'll start a gallery!)
