Christmas Craft for Children and Adults

This is a great Christmas decoration craft that is just so cute! It is suitable for children as young as five, fun, inexpensive and festive. These snowmen ornaments will fit perfectly on to your Christmas tree or can be used as Christmas gift tags. This is an ideal Christmas craft for children and adults.

The first step you need to take in making your Christmas snowmen craft is to gather the materials. Nothing fancy is required and you can miss and match colours, so it is perfect for those small felt pieces that you want to do something with. You will need the following items: large craft sticks, small twigs from your garden, black and white acrylic paints, orange tooth picks, felt in a variety of festive colours, glittery chenille sticks, shiny or sparkly pom poms, black craft foam, small buttons or sequins, ribbon, hot glue gun, thin felt tipped marker and scissors.

Once you have placed all your materials on your crafting table it is time to prepare the individual pieces. First you will want to paint the craft sticks white and set them aside to dry. Once that is done take your twigs and break them into three inch long pieces, making two per snowman. Stick the twigs or what is now known as the snowmen’s arms safely aside while you create the noses. To make the snowmen ornament noses you will need the orange toothpicks. Cut one inch pieces off the end of the toothpick one per snowman. When you have completed the noses decide how many of your snowmen you want to have hats and how many you want to have earmuffs. Then take the black craft foam and cut out the required number of hats.

After you have created your Christmas snowmen’s individual pieces it is time to begin putting it all together. First you will want to create the snowman’s face, for this you have two options. You can take the wrong end of a paintbrush, dip it in black paint and make dots on the craft stick to form the eyes and the mouth or you can make the dots with a marker. After you have created the snowman’s face it is time to give him his nose. To do this simple take an orange toothpick piece and glue it to the craft stick between the eyes and mouth.
