How to build a snowman without any snow

By 9 Comments

We don’t get much snow here in the South.  Surprisingly, though we do get a few inches every year.  Some think just because we live in South Carolina you can’t get snow here.  That is what I thought too, until we moved here.  It’s actually snowed every year since.  I guess that Buffalo weather just seems to follow me.  I suppose it is better than the hurricanes we dealt with while living in South Florida for nine years.  Of course, since we moved there hasn’t been one since.

Today, I am sharing how to build a snowman without any snow.

He is so stinkin’ cute I can’t even stand it myself!

Dollar tree glass bowl snowman craft

Starting with the basics.  Three round glass bowls from the dollar tree.

In fact, these are the very same bowls I used for my husbands 50th birthday party.

Two medium, one small.

All links below take you to the exact items to purchase through amazon. I am an affiliate and will make a few pennies from the sales:) Thank you.

Sponge brush, and small paint brushes.

And a dollar tree snowman ornament hat. If they still have them. I found that last year.

Sorry for the bad pictures.  I started this project when the sun was going down.  First, I painted the vases with my white chalky paint. One coat, let completely dry, then a second coat for full coverage.

Let it dry overnight, even though it dries quickly.

The next day, I went over my painted vases one by one with my sparkle mod podge.  Before that dried I ligthly sprinkled on my diamond dust to get that sparkly snow effect.

I let that dry for a few hours.  Then I took my buttons, all small ones and used them for the eyes and mouth.  The nose, I just cut some burlap I had on hand.  It wasn’t orange but you get the gist.

I hot glued three buttons on the middle bowl and went over that with some more mod podge and diamond dust.

I simply stacked these on top of one another.  I added the top hat ornament and added a button and stick on top of that.  All hot glued.  I found the sticks in the back yard for the arms.
