Merry Little Snowmen

Pin It
Went down to my grandparent in- laws the other day and they had out all of their Christmas stuff. One thing I quickly noticed were these 4x4 snowmen they had sitting out. They were something that my husband had made when he was little. instantly a light bulb went off and I though  knew I had to make these with little G. so, I have been working on painting them the last few days, coat after coat until they were perfectly white with no lines or drip marks.. ( I kind of have OCD sometimes)

Finally today they were ready to be decorated. And after much thought I figured out how I wanted to make them look. So little G and I went to Walmart and got some black and orange buttons, some some Christmas socks, and some gray fleece fabric. I got out the glue gun, wiggly eyes and pipe cleaners and let him do most of the work. I think they turned out soooooo adorable! So happy we did them, they make our house feel more like Christmas and who doesn't love having a keep sake that their child made :))



Did I mention that he LOVES them and will not leave them alone. : )

  2. Very cute! We have one just like it, my sister made it for us years ago. Instead of using a sock for the hat she used sweater sleeves her daughter had outgrown. I love that you have a whole little family!
