How to Make DIY Snowman Ornaments

Start by filling your clear ornament ball with faux snow. Use a funnel to fill your ball with snow if you have one; if not, you could make a paper funnel, which is what I did, and it worked fine.

Paint the solid ornament (the snowman’s head) with white acrylic paint. To give the paint a snowball look, I dabbed the white paint on it with my paintbrush. Use a paper clip or string to hang up to dry.

When the paint is dry, coat it with Mod Podge to seal the paint. This will keep the white paint from scraping off your ornament.

Finish with a coat of Mod Podge to protect the paint on your DIY Snowman ornament.

Once everything is dry you can assemble your snowman. Start by removing the hook part from the clear ornament. Hot glue the snowman together and finish by adding a scarf. Hot glue earmuffs (a pipe cleaner and pom poms) and buttons on and draw the snowman’s face using permanent markers.
