Recently we dug into our milk cap bag to make some snowman ornaments to hang on our Christmas tree. These ornaments are super easy to make and look adorable! I love using recyclables to make crafts like this Snowman Ornament because it teaches kids how to reuse items and it keeps the costs of the craft low.

I just counted the days until Christmas and noticed that I have more Christmas crafts than days left to share them. This means I am in scramble mode. Now that my Little Tiger and Little Dragon birthday party is over (which was a Frozen themed party see here on Instagram), I am setting to the busy task of getting as much as I can shared before Christmas. That way when Christmas is over I am not still sharing Christmas things (because that would be silly), and I can move on to new ideas like New Years, Winter, and… make sure to stay tuned. Okay, with all that said it’s time to get crafting!

Step 1: Make the Snowman Glittery
Mix a small amount of Mod Podge with blue glitter together and paint it on the milk caps. You need two milk caps per snowman craft, 1 large lid for the body and 1 small lid for the head. You may need to do a few layers to make sure your ornament is extra glittery.
Step 2: Build the Snowman
Once the Mod Podge dries, use your hot glue gun to glue the milk caps together (parent step). Then wrap a piece of ribbon around the neck of the snowman, and glue it in place.
Step 3: Make the Snowman an Ornament
Make a loop of ribbon and hot glue it to the back of the snowman’s head.
Optional:
- Use black puffy paint or googly eyes to make eyes.
- Glue on tiny buttons on the body.
- Glue a small triangle on the face for a nose.
