DIY: Melted Snowman Ornaments

Today is the official kick-off to my Christmas season and what better way than with a DIY?

How about a Melted Snowman Ornament?  Well, here is my version…

Using clear glass ornaments that you can purchase at any craft store (you can also get plastic), fill each one about 1/4 full with kosher salt.  Fake snow will work as well, but the salt is heavier which allows the snowman “parts” to stay on top – or close to – and not get covered by the lighter fake snow.

I created my accessories as follows;

Scarf:  Christmas fabric cut with pinking shears

Eyes & Buttons:  Whole peppercorns (from the spice section at the grocery store)

Carrot Nose:  Orange polymer clay

Hat:  Black polymer clay

I made the hat and nose by shaping the clay and baking at 250° for 15 minutes.

I used a different Christmas fabric to hang it with, but obviously ribbon would work just as well.

Just a fun ornament to add some whimsy to your tree!

And my son pointed out to me that this would be a great teacher gift.  I agree!  

I have another DIY ornament to show you tomorrow c’mon back and check it out!

Be inspired,
