How to Make a Snowman Hat Ornament

Every holiday season, my kids and I spend time together creating homemade ornaments. Inspired by their favorite Christmas movie, Frosty the Snowman, we used craft sticks (popsicle sticks), paint, buttons, and felt to create a festive Snowman Hat Ornament.

This is a great craft for school, home, or special holiday events. If you are making this craft with a large group of children, you may wish to put the hats together in advance for the kids to paint.

To Make This Snowman Hat Ornament You Will Need

• Black and red acrylic paint
• Miniature craft sticks
• Standard craft sticks
• Paintbrushes
• Red buttons
• Green felt
• Pinking shears
• Tacky craft glue or hot glue
• String
• Satin Finish Mod Podge (optional)

Directions for Snowman Hat Ornament

1. After gathering supplies, arrange the popsicle sticks so there are 5 miniature craft sticks on the top and 2 standard craft sticks on the bottom.

2. Glue 2 mini craft sticks on top of the arrangement to secure them and create the shape of the snowman hat.

3. When the glue is dry, flip the snowman hat over to paint it. Paint the 4 top mini craft sticks and the bottom 2 craft sticks black. Paint the bottom mini craft stick red.

Alternatively, you could choose to paint the craft sticks before gluing them together to create the snowman hat.

If desired, seal the paint with Satin Mod Podge.

4. Use pinking shears to cut 2 leaves from the green felt. When the paint is dry, glue the leaves to the hat with tacky craft glue or hot glue.

5. Next, glue 3 red buttons on top of the leaves with tacky craft glue or hot glue.

6. Secure a loop of string to the back of the ornament with tacky craft glue or hot glue.

7. Hang and enjoy!

Isn’t this ornament darling? It looks adorable hanging on the tree or tied to a Christmas gift.
