In the past, we’ve committed to making most of our Christmas gifts by hand which means, I’ve put in some late nights in our little workshop. After sharing our passion for giving all handmade gifts with a few people, we’ve realized that a lot of people think they can’t do this. While you may truly feel that your not a seasoned DIY’er” or “crafty” enough…I wanted to share one of my favorite, super simple, DIY gift ideas with you. One I believe, ANYONE CAN DO!
This easy, 2-step DIY Snowman kit is the ideal, frugal, yet thoughtful gift for your little one, neighbor, child’s classmate, yankee swap, etc.
What you need:
- Thrift store hat
- Thrift store scarf
- 7 black buttons (eyes & mouth)
- 3 colored buttons (front)
- Craft stick
- Orange paint
- Box/Label/Ribbon (optional)
{Keep in mind that you can get resourceful if you’re already snowed in at home – you may have an old scarf or hat lying around the house, you could paint rocks black for “2 eyes made out of coal” and you can paint bottle caps for buttons… Have fun with it!}
- Paint your wooden craft stick orange to make a nose
- Organize your snowman items together in a box or gift bag. I chose to recycle a simple brown box, tie it up with twine & I made my own label using a free template from canva.
This sounds like a really cute idea! If it snowed here in Texas I would give out these boxes! So cute. P.S. I love that template!
Awe thank you for stopping by. As much as the snow can be a pain, I’d miss it if we didn’t have it!
What a great idea!! Especially for places that don’t get snow. Love it!
I’m glad you like it. Thank you!
