Bottle lid snowman decorations
I know Christmas is a bit divisive. It brings out the best and the worst in people. I love it though, mostly because it’s a great excuse to make shamelessly crafty and kitsch things all in the name of the season.
These snowmen are really easy to make and are cute to boot. They require minimal materials and should be do-able for about a 6-year old or younger with some help.
What you need:
One large and one small lid
Red and yellow (or orange) oven bake clay
Coloured felt or blanket scrap
White acrylic paint or white spray paint (recommended)
Sharpie
Cord
1. Glue the big and small lid together.
2. Paint white. Spray paint is quick and easy but acrylic will work too.
3. Roll some tiny carrot noses from oven bake clay. Bake at 150C for 15 mins.
4. Attach the nose with glue and use a sharpie to draw on some eyes and a dotted mouth.
5. Cut a length of coloured cord and hot glue it to the back of your snowman.
6. Cut a thin length of blanket or felt and wrap it around the neck of your snowman. Stick down with hot glue. To finish stick on a few buttons.
