Homemade Christmas: Snowman Jars
Dec. 4, 2008 • 10:49 PM
We are getting ready for a Homeachooler's Craft Show coming up this weekend! Here is a fun craft I made with my girls this week.
Snowman Jars:
They are pretty simple to make. Here are the materials needed:
Smooth worksurface, clean and dry jars, toothpicks, craft wire, pliers/wire cutters, beads, white light-weight clay (Crayola Model Magic works wonderfully), glue, white glass paint (optional)
Make three cirlces and place them together. Use a toothpcik to push an orange bead in the head for a nose. Add buttons in the middle circles for buttons. use craft wire for arms. To make then whimsical, try different posed arms and wrap around a toothpick for coils.
Allow clay to dry. Once dry, use a toothpick and black paint to add eyes and a smile. Then glue the snowmen to your assortment of jars. You can add white dots (of snow) to jars by dipping the eraser end of a pencil into white glass paint and dotting circles onto the jar around the snowmen. Allow to dry. Add candles or candy. They make great gifts and are cute Wintertime decorations!

These are lovely! I was thinking through what non-Christmas decorations could you replace the snowmen with as I'm needing a new canister idea. Thanks for sharing!

I hope you have a wonderful few weeks leading up to Christmas. I'm not sure how much blogging I'm going to be doing, but I wanted you know that I'm thinking of you and visiting you often.

Those are very cute snowmen. I am thinking these would make sweet little tree decorations, too.
Hope your craft show went well.
Have a lovely day!
