I saw this metal snowman at Dollar Tree recently and was so excited to do a makeover with it!! You can check out how I did it below!
Supplies Needed:
- Metal Snowman, from Dollar Tree
- White Paint
- Foam Brush
- Wood Buttons
- Fabric for Scarf, I used Christmas fabric from Walmart
- Hot Glue Gun & Hot Glue
- Brown and Orange Paint for Face
Instructions:
My favorite thing about this type of craft is that you can personalize it to your own personal taste. You can use whatever embellishments and decorations that you would like!
First I painted the snowman white. I just used regular acrylic paint. I didn’t brush it on, instead I used the brush to dab the paint on.
Once the snowman is covered with the paint and dried you can then add your scarf! I used a piece of Christmas fabric that I got from Walmart and folded it. I used hot glue to attach the fabric and fold it around the neck to look like a scarf.
Then I add a large wooden button to embellish the scarf. You can use three small buttons to decorate the bottom of the snowman.
Then I used acrylic paint to make the nose and eyes. To make the eyes I just used the flat end of a paint brush. This is great for making circles! Then I used a small brush to make the nose. Once your snowman is done you can add the twine hanger!
I love this size decoration for hanging on door knobs or wall decor!!
