Salt and Pepper Snowmen

 

Happy Thursday! Today I’ve got such a fun craft for our Creative Craft Hop. Salt and Pepper Snowmen. And women. They make great ornaments and shelf sitters! Not only do I love how they turned out but they are truly easy and fun to make.

Thanks to Sara from Birdz of a Feather for hosting this fun hop, it’s truly one of my favorite hops each month.

If you are visiting from Carol’s at Blue Sky At Home thanks for stopping by, I am so happy that you are here! Didn’t you love her yarn Christmas tree?

Before we start I apologize for this post being so long, however there are a lot of small steps!

The Supplies

Salt And Pepper shakers

Hot glue and gun

Smooth styrofoam balls

various decor items: pipe cleaners, boas, jewelry pieces, rhinestones, fabric etc.

Toothpick

Orange acrylic paint pen

Glitter

Mod Podge

Paint Brush

Step 1

Lets start with the head.

I like using these smooth styrofoam balls.

Using a toothpick, paint the ends orange.

Once dry, cut off the ends and insert them into the middle of the ball for a nose.

Dry brush red paint on either side of the nose for rosy cheeks.

Lightly cover the ball with Mod Podge and apply a light sprinkle of white glitter.

Add 3mm black pin eyes to the face.

You could also use several of these below the nose for a mouth.

Or for a mouth color in black  dots with a sharpie!

The Body

Next, using Mod Podge paint “snow” onto the bottom of the salt shaker, then sprinkle on Silver Champagne glitter.

Fill the body 1/3 to 1/2 full of white glitter.

Using hot glue, glue on the head to the body.

Decorate

Now for the fun part – decorating your snowman – or snow lady!

You will be using the top of the salt and pepper shaker to create a hat.

This is where I glued on old pieces of jewelry, rhinestones … whatever makes you happy!

Once you are done with your hat, glue it to the head of the snowman.

Now, decorate the body!

This time I simply glued on a boa and added some jewelry!

Here are a few others that I’ve made…
