Let’s face it... we would LOVE to have that Norman Rockwell handmade kind of holiday, but the reality is everyone ends up rushing around from shopping to get-togethers to cooking to more shopping. Take back some holiday fun with this clever idea... and even the busiest of the busy can whip up a few of these adorable little guys. They’re so amazingly easy, fun, and cheap to make that you can create a whole army of them to give as gifts, decorate your tree, or even use as gift tie-ons in no time flat! Plus, this kid-friendly craft is also fun for adults, so it’s perfect for a rainy day or family fun night.
Shop at Dollar Tree — Here’s What You’ll Need:
- Bottle Caps, 3 for Each Ornament
- Ribbon
- White Paint (nail polish works well and is durable, but acrylic paint or correction fluid will also work)
- Permanent Markers, Glitter Glue, or Black and Orange Paint
- Glue
- Scissors
Easy Step-by-Step Directions:
- Paint the insides of the bottle caps white. It may take a few coats to get good, even coverage.
- For each ornament, draw a face on one bottle cap, “coat buttons” on the second bottle cap, and leave the third bottle cap solid white.
- Cut a 6" piece of ribbon. Glue your snowman pieces to the ribbon. Fold over the remaining ribbon at the top into a loop and glue in place to make your hanger.
- Use a small piece of ribbon to tie between the top and middle bottle caps as a scarf.
