Snowman Family Ornament

Hey, hey all you fabulous shabby creek peeps! I’m Jessica from Mom 4 Real, and I’m so happy to be hanging over here, sharing a fun and easy snowman family ornament with you!

Paint an Easy Snowman Family Ornament I am all about making things simple and inexpensive, and this little project was just that! Each year we usually have an ornament made for our family tree with the date and some depiction or representation of the four of us, and they cost around $20. This year, I decided to make my own…

Glitter in Glass Ornament...find the instructions at mom4real.comI start with my favorite Glitter In Glass Ornaments you can hop over and see how easy it is to make these awesome no mess glitter ornaments. I even included a quick, less than two minute video showing just how easy it is!

Snowman Family SuppliesI also used some inexpensive acrylic paints.

Paint a Snowman Family OrnamentStart by painting your snowmen. You simply swirl your paintbrush in circular motions…no need for perfection! I tried to make us similar in size to each other…the two middle snow people are my husband and myself, and the outer snow peeps are my son and daughter.

Paint an super easy snowman family ornamentOnce the paint dried, I painted on the eyes and mouths of each snowman. Completely easy…just little dots of coal 😉

Cute Snowman Family OrnamentI then painted on orange carrot noses, scarves and hats.

Add a date to the back of homemade ornamentsOnce all of the paint dried, I flipped the bulb over and painted 2013 on it. I ended up making two…one for each kiddo to have when they grow up.

We hung it right on the front of our Christmas tree…cute, right? I’ll be making more of these for the kid’s teachers and some neighbors. I think it would make the perfect gift for just about anyone…teachers, neighbors, relatives, coworkers…anyone! I have no real painting skills, so if I can do it, so can you!

    Love your snow family. When I taught Pre-K we did a similar ornament by having the kids hold the blue ornament with their hand covered in white paint. We added the snowman details and a poem “These aren’t just five snowmen, as anyone can see, they were made with my hand which is a special part of me.”
