You’ll want to invite your friends to a night of holiday crafting! Come in to get the supplies you’ll need to make these 3 DIY Christmas Crafts! An adorable wood round melted snowman, a huge metal snowflake painted with alcohol inks, and a cute yarn tree. These are easy crafts, but we thought we’d give you the basic instructions on how to make them.
DIY Melted Snowman Wood Round
Here are the supplies needed to make a DIY melted snowman:
(Supplies may vary by store, however, special store-to-store orders can be placed with a one-week turnaround. Substitutions will be suggested if a product is no longer available.)
1 wood round 2 1/2in
1 wood round 4in
White paint
Paint brush
Orange and black POSCA paint pens
1 brown Chenille Stem
1″ x 15” strip of fabric
Glue dots
Step-by-Step Tutorial:
1. Paint the small and large wood round with the white acrylic paint, leaving a small edge. This will create the “snow” effect.
2. Paint on a face using the POSCA paint pens.
3. Cut the chenille stem in half and then in half again. You should have 4 equal sized pieces of the chenille stem.
4. Twist the chenille stem onto another, about 2/3 from the top. Bend all points in the same direction to create the hand.
5. Place a line of 3 glue dots on the large wood round where you desire the head to be. Then place the arms on the ends of the glue dots and place the head in the middle.
6. Tie the fabric strip around the base of the head to create the scarf.
