or pipe cleaner for hanging
- Birchwood Chips (found a most craft stores, sold by the bag)
- Craft felt
in orange, red, black, and tan

Directions for Snowman Ornament
1. Choose three birchwood chips to craft the body of your snowman. Line them up and add hot glue between each piece. Press together and hold until secure to create the body.
2. While the glue dries, you can cut out your felt shapes to create the details on your snowman. Cut out an orange triangle for the carrot nose, a few black circles for buttons, a red strip for the scarf, and a small black hat. We also made small stick like hands using the tan felt.
3. Once the glue holding the birchwood chips together is dry you can glue your googly eyes in place at the top of the clothespin.
4. Add a dab of glue to your felt details and glue them in place. You can glue them as shown or create a look of your choosing.
5. Add some glue to your ribbon or pipe cleaner and press to the back of the snowman’s body. Once this piece is dry, your birchwood snowman ornament can be hung!

Tips for Making this Snowman Craft
The main thing to keep in mind when making this snowman ornament craft is that you need to give the glue time to dry.
This can be hard for the kids to slow down and understand, especially when they’re excited to decorate the tree.
Talk to them about this process beforehand so that it’s not a shock to them once they start. Once they understand the importance, they’ll have no issue being a little bit patient for their craft to be perfect.
You can count, sing songs, or divert your attention to something else completely so that they’re not so focused on waiting and watching the glue dry.
Fun Ways to Share This Ornament Craft
One of the other major reasons that I love this craft is that there are so many great uses for it. Not only is it a simple way to decorate your holiday tree but it makes for a great gift idea, too.
If the kids can make this and hand it out to family and friends, this is a super cute holiday gift that they can cherish. My family members still have ornaments that I made when I was a little girl and they hang them up on the Christmas tree each year still! It’s so fun to see them on the tree!
You can also make your own family holiday traditions at home by hanging up the ornaments on your tree. This is a fun way to make a tradition and then take the time to talk about the ornaments as they’re being hung up.
The kids will love to have a trip down memory lane and see the ornaments being hung, too. This is a fun tradition and a way to slow down and set a date and time to put the ornaments on the tree together. It’s one of my favorite activities of the holiday season!
