How to Make a Jar Snowman

Turn an ordinary glass jar into a whimsical Santa Claus, and you have an adorable candy or cookie jar for the Christmas season. Making a jar snowman is so simple and inexpensive that you can make several and share some Christmas smiles.

Instructions

1

Slice about 1/2 inch off one side of the Styrofoam ball so the flat side can sit on the jar lid. Glue the ball to the jar lid.

2

Cut a small piece of orange felt and shape it for the snowman's nose. Attach it to the snowman's face with craft glue.

3

Glue two small black bead eyes to the snowman's face. Glue five or six black beads in the shape of a smile for the snowman's mouth.

4

Poke a twig arm into each side of the Styrofoam ball.

5

Tie the piece of fabric into a scarf around the top of the jar and secure it with a few drops of glue. Put the scarf so the jar can still be opened.

6

Attach some buttons to the front of the jar with glue, or cut some buttons from felt and attach them with glue.

7

Glue the craft store hat on top of the snowman's head and screw the lid onto the jar. Glue a miniature broom to one twig and a miniature shovel to the other twig.
