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
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…

What is the white “furry” stuff that you have used .. feathers? or …?
It is part of a white boa! I just cut off a piece and pulled a few feathers out and it worked perfectly!
