DIY Snowman: Step by Step ☃️

Step 1

Cut out three circles in different sizes from white cardboard to build the DIY snowman’s body: small for the head, medium for the tummy and big for the base.
Tip:
Want perfect circles? Try using round cookie cutters or other round objects as a guide. 
 

Step 2

Stack the circles like a snowman and use Pritt Glue Stick to stick them together. Make sure everything is aligned – we don’t want a wobbly snowman!
 

Step 3

Cut tiny squares from your crêpe paper: white for the body, black for the eyes and buttons, and orange for the nose.
 

Step 4

Time to roll! Turn the paper squares into little balls using your fingertips.
 

Step 5

Give your snowman some personality! Brush on a thin layer of Pritt Multipurpose Glue. Now for the fun part: press on your little crêpe paper balls one by one. Use white for the fluffy body, black for the big eyes and cute buttons, and a bright orange one for the nose.
 

Step 6

Now let’s make a comfy hat! Grab your coloured paper and cut out three shapes: a triangle for the hat, a rounded strip for the brim, and a little circle for the bobble on top. Use your Pritt Glue Stick to glue them all together, then pop that hat right onto your snowman’s head. Looking cool!
 

Did you know?

The Pritt Glue Stick is the ideal buddy for all your crafting projects. Whether you are making a glowing jellyfish lantern, a rainbow pop-up card or easy snowman crafts. It’s easy to use, safe for kids, and gives you time to adjust things before it dries!

Step 7

Now let’s give our frosty friend a cosy scarf! Cut a piece of sparkly chenille wire and twist it gently around the snowman’s neck. This adds a lovely bit of sparkle.
 

Step 8

Punch a hole into the top edge of the snowman’s hat using the hole punch. Thread string or ribbon of your favourite colour through the hole. Tie a strong knot, and your adorable DIY snowman is ready to hang proudly in the window, on the fridge, or on the Christmas tree!
