Easy DIY Snowman Ornaments

What is it about snowmen?? They are just the cutest little things ever, and I feel like everyone loves them. They're great not only for Christmas, but all throughout the winter. So I decided to share with you some easy DIY snowman ornaments that even kids could make.

These DIY snowman ornaments are so cute, and they are so easy to make, even kids can do it!

These seriously take about a minute to make. Maybe 2-3 minutes if you decide to add a hat.

And they are crazy cute. Hang them on your tree for some extra little snowman love, or make a bunch and pile them into a bowl. Because they're handmade, each one is slightly different and has its own little personality.

Supplies to Make DIY Snowman Ornaments

White ball ornaments (I got mine at Walmart)
Black, orange and pink Sharpies
Scrap pieces of felt and ribbon; hot glue (optional; if you'd like to give them hats)

Start with some plain white ball ornaments. I got these ones at Walmart.

To give them some rosy cheeks, crumple up a paper towel and color on a small circle with your pink Sharpie. Take the paper towel and stamp some color onto the ornament. Experiment with just dabbing or rubbing it in a circle until you're happy with the color.

Then, take your black Sharpie and draw on a cute little face!

If you want to make a hat, cut this shape out of a scrap piece of fleece. I realize that "this shape" is not super-helpful, but just look at the picture. If you have a name for it, feel free to school me. I started by measuring out a rectangle that was long enough to wrap around the top of the ornament, and then cut slits in the top. Then, to cut down on bulk, I trimmed a triangle off each end. Voila! "This shape"!

Using hot glue, secure the two end points together and then glue the hat to the top of the ornament.

Tie a piece of ribbon at the base of the slits you cut, and your snowman has a cute little hat!

I can't decide which one is my favorite, but I think I want to make a ton more!

Which do you think is cuter: hat or no hat?

Hi, I’m Jenn. I’m a freelance writer and editor who lives in central Pennsylvania with my husband and three boys. Yeah. That’s a lot of testosterone in one house. I love decorating, DIYing, crafting, baking, and cooking, and I’m constantly scouring everything I see for inspiration. My ideas can come from anywhere: Pinterest, books, magazines, stores, TV shows, websites, other blogs, other people’s homes, nature. You name it, and I’ve gotten an idea from it. {Literally. I selected the color scheme for our family room from a pocket pack of tissues. Totally not making that up.} I hope to teach others that, if you really pay attention to the world around you, you can get inspiration from anything! I love to hear from readers, so be sure to leave me a comment! Or, if you’d prefer to email me, you can do that too — just visit my contact form. Thanks for stopping by!
