Craft: Straw Hat Snowman

This snowman can hang on a wall indoors or on an outside door instead of a wreath. It's very easy to make.

You will need:

  • a straw hat (any size you prefer)
  • craft paint in blue, white and pink
  • pompoms in 2 sizes, small for the face, large for the earmuffs
  • chenille stem
  • snowflake embellishments - I bought mine in the ribbon department by the yard, you can also use the sequin type or self-stick foam cut-outs
  • ribbon or material for a scarf

Paint the raised part of the hat white, as well as a section of the flat part; paint the sky blue; give him/her pink cheeks; glue on black pompoms to make the face; glue two large pompoms on either side of the face for earmuffs and glue on the chenille stem to go over the head; glue on snowflakes around the face and add a ribbon or material to serve as a scarf. I then hot-glued some string on the back for hanging.

Those are so cute! I just love them. How nice for a winter theme after we've taken down the Christmas decorations. Nice work!

Sandy, Totally awesome! What a perfect craft for young crafters, such as Scouts, to do for a nursing home or for children's hospital unit for on the doors. And, of course, to do for at home too. Keep sharing those good ideas!!!

Craft: Straw Hat Snowman
Here are some snowmen made from small and larger straw hats.

Approximate Time: 30 minutes

Supplies:

  • straw hats
  • acrylic paints
  • pom poms
  • ribbon
  • pipe cleaners
  • white spray paint
  • hot glue and gun

Instructions:

Spray paint hats white or you can paint with brush and acrylic paint. Let dry. Paint on the faces. Take a smaller hat and cut in half and paint, then glue on top of big hat to make the snowman a hat. Glue on your pom poms for ear muffs. You can add pipe cleaner over top to look like the string for the ear muffs. Glue on ribbon.
