Easy to Make Glass Snowmen
Ornaments
By Amanda Formaro
Looking
for a quick and easy dress up to those plain glass ornaments in your Christmas
box? Or maybe you need a unique Christmas gift idea? Try these adorable
snowmen on for size!
You will need
- 6 white or silvery-white glass ornament balls
- acrylic paint in black, pink, and orange
- scraps of fabric
- 4 pairs of pom poms, your choice of colors
- 2- 14" long strips cut from flannel or an old scarf
- craft or hot glue small paint brush
Instructions
Keep ornaments in their tray if possible to make for a sturdy placeholder
while you work.
Faces
Using paint brush and black paint, paint on simple dot eyes and mouths.
Use orange paint to give each snowman a nose, and splotch on pink paint
for cheeks.
Earmuffs
Using scraps of solid colored fabric, fashion headband for earmuffs, glue
in place across top of ornament, just below the top of the ornament. Glue
pom poms at each end of the headband to form earmuffs. You may need to
trim one side of each pom pom to "flatten" it a bit to allow for easier
application.
Scarved Snowmen
For the snowmen that are wearing scarves, follow instructions above for
faces. Next, at the middle of the strip of scarf, glue to the top of the
ornament, above the snowman's eyes. Carefully glue in place, working your
way around the face on both sides until both ends meet near the bottom
of the ornament. Tie together and glue any areas that are out of place.
