Snowman Family
You will need:
*Fabric for the head wraps, and scarves. I probable used a 1/3 of each.
(at Joannes they had a 4 pack of christmas fabrics for 10 dollars, so I bought that.)
*Glue Gun
*Twin, string, anything that you can tie the top of the hat with.
*Orange, White and Black Paint
*Wood. Depending on how tall you want your tallest one, then cut an inch or 2 off of the second, and an inch or 2 off the 3rd.
When I cut my blocks I didnt measure how tall they were, I just sorta guessed how tall I wanted them..so I cant give you exact measurements.. It just depends how tall YOU want your cute snowman's to be! I painted my blocks white, let them dry, then tied the head wraps on. I hot glued the fabric to the snowman blocks, then with twin I tied the top of it. Wrapped my scarfs around each one. Then painted the faces on. you can use your creativity and use buttons for the eyes, felt or fabric for the nose, I just had paint in the closet, so that's what I used! I painted my cute little nose, and eyes. Once they were all made, I set them on my porch!
Happy Snowman Making!!!

I love this cute little project. We could do it with our grandchildren even. Thanks bunches for the neat guest post, Tasha. So cute! ....Mary
Adorbs :) just got a BUNCH of scrap wood that was going to be tossed. Giving it new life with several projects...this one included :) just love it!
What kind of paint did you use. Is it weather proof to handle being in the snow or to get wet. For I was gonna use acrylic paint but fear that it would washout after a few days in the elements.
Thanks!
What kind of paint?
Thank you for the awesome idea. I have a million pieces of 2x4's. I made one tonight and i had a jar of that fake snow stuff so i added that on top of the white paint its darling! Jenny you can use acrylic paint. I've used it for a tom of outside stuff and its never washed of or faded! Plus you can you use a clear sealer to seal it!

I just made 4 of these (3 for us and 1 for my daughter's teacher) and I LOVE how they came out! I wish I could share the picture with you because they're so cute! I had all the materials too, so it was a cost-free project..woohoo! Thank you! Found you on Pinterest by the way. :)
How did you give the wood that weathered look I cant get my paint to look like that

I made these this week with my 11-yr old grandson. He painted the snowman using a dry brush technique, which made them look a little more rustic. We used a 4x4 post for the body and we made them 18", 14-1/2" and 11" heights. We also attached each of them to a base, so they would be less likely to tip.
They are adorable! He made them for his mother's birthday to sit on their doorstep - they would also be perfect sitting in from on the fireplace!!!
Your snowmen are adorable! I'm creating a snowman craft roundup to go live on Monday on OneCreativeMommy.com. I'd love to include one image and a link back to your site. Would that be okay? (I'm a snowman fanatic!)
