Snowman Jar Craft Idea for Co-Workers

These cute little snowman are easy to make and can be filled with some candy.

You will need:

  • Baby Food Jars
  • Polymer Clay, Orange
  • Small Black Buttons
  • Film Canister
  • Black Paint
  • White Paint
  • Black Permanent Marker
  • Hot Glue or Tacky glue.

Instructions:

1. Spray or Paint the Jar white and let dry.

2. Glue buttons on the jar for eyes.

3. Form orange clay in shape of a carrot for the nose. Follow the instructions on the clay. Dry in the oven and glue in place.

4. Use the Black Permanent Marker to draw the mouth to look like coal. Just draw dots.

5. Paint the baby food jar lid black. Let it dry completely. Glue the film canister without a lid upside down on top of lid. This will look like a top hat when you put it back on the jar.

6. Fill with various candies like M&M's.

Simple homemade gift and frugal!

Great idea. I would make these for kids to take to their school Christmas party.
