Every time I think of snowmen, I can’t help but think of that fun song “Do You Want to Build a Snowman”. I just love building snowmen, thought it doesn’t really snow here in Texas too often. When I go home to Michigan, I do try to make a snowman, just so I can have a reminder of how fun it really is. Creating DIY Snowmen decorations doesn’t have to break the bank, and you can find most of the items needed right there in your home.

TP Roll Snowman

I always tell everyone to save your TP rolls and your paper towel rolls, you never know when you can use them. This is such a fun and easy craft to create. You could make a bunch of them, glue them to a string, and hang them from your fireplace or on the wall.

Directions

1. If your toilet paper roll isn’t already white, paint it white and let it dry completely.
2. Draw a snowman face on the top of the toilet paper roll.
3. Using the hot glue gun, glue one side of the pipe cleaner to the outside top of the toilet paper roll.
4. Then hold the pom pom to the outside of the pipe cleaner until the glue is cooled off and the pipe cleaner and pom pom don’t come off.
5. Do the same to the other side of the toilet paper roll to finish off the earmuffs.
