* My two cents is to improvise with what you have in your house for this part before spending money! The cone was pure luck! I used orange felt to cover the cone to make it look more like a carrot.
I also had a styrofoam cone to use for the carrot nose. Because I craft often, I had extra felt lying around to cut out small circles for the eyes. Snowman Face: I will share what I used to make my snowmen faces, but I encourage you to use what you have on hand to create your own. Pick whatever you feel will fit with your Christmas decor the best! You can definitely let your creativity run wild here. Note, that this number can change based on the size of the bowls you use and the overall area you’ll need to cover for your own snowman.Īny colored tinsel or regular greenery garland would also work just as well. That was the equivalent to about ten 9-foot packages from the Dollar Tree. I ended up using roughly 100 feet of garland total for one snowman, 200 feet for two completed snowmen. I couldn’t find the tinsel I got from Target, it’s sold out, but here’s another white tinsel option from Amazon.
As you can imagine, the tinsel was definitely more expensive at Target but you did receive more feet in a package. I ended up buying the Dollar Tree out of all their white tinsel and found myself having to buy more from Target. Tinsel or Garland: To get that true snowman feeling, I opted to purchase white tinsel from the Dollar Tree to cover my snowman with. Once you have the three balls, you’ll then glue one on top of the other to achieve the snowman form. You’ll be hot gluing the two coordinating bowls together to create a ball-like shape. I found them in the entertaining section with all the other party supplies. I purchased my bowls from the Dollar Tree. Two large, two medium, and two small bowls to be exact. Plastic bowls: The entire structure of your DIY snowman topiary is made of plastic bowls. What materials will you need to make these DIY snowman decorations? You know you do the same thing, don’t you?! By two birds I mean, getting the craft at hand done while also catching up on all your garbage t.v. For me, this is my ideal crafting situation! It helps make the time go by faster and you can kill two birds with one stone. I’m literally sitting on my family room floor, watching television, and crafting away. I should warn you, my video is anything but polished.
I’m grateful I had the inkling to do so because my Instagram family went nuts and demanded a tutorial on how to make them. I had a feeling my DIY snowman decorations might be popular, so I pulled out my tripod right before sitting down to put them together. I debuted my finished snowmen last week on Instagram and the love I received for them was overwhelming. I’m excited to finally be sharing this DIY Dollar Tree Snowman with you this morning. *This post contains some affiliate links for your convenience.
