Take these driftwood reindeer ornaments, for example. They’re super simple and add a lovely, rustic touch to your Christmas decor. But if you make enough, you can string them up into a garland of sorts and hang them up everywhere! So, what are you waiting for? Get started! 7. Warm White Mittens Do the same thing with your other connector piece, making sure all four tabs are attached really well. Now you can attach the face pieces starting with the eyes. Find the front of the head, the flat section with a blank space in the center.

Use the diagram in the printed plan to position the bottom of the hat on the face and attach using brad nails.If you like, feel free to jazz it up with a couple of leaves or berries. You can just place them in the mold, pour your water and allow them to freeze as is. 20. Snowman Bath Bombs When you get to the optional mats with wax paper (the light gray ones), select the “Wax Paper” setting and leave the Pressure at “Default.” I positioned the pattern on the plywood and drew around it with a pencil. I used 3mm plywood for my snowman, but you can use whatever thin material you have, such as hardboard, paneling, lauan, etc.

Now find your two octagonal-shaped connector pieces with cutouts in the center. Place one on top of the body tabs that are folded inward. Turn your head piece upside down and place the other connector piece on the tabs that are now showing. Your connector pieces may not line up perfectly with the sides of your body or head pieces, but that’s OK! You won’t see these pieces once we attach our snowman’s head to his body and add the scarf. Place your wax paper on your green StandardGrip or blue LightGrip machine mat and use a brayer to make sure it’s fully adhered.If you’d like to add a finishing touch, you can “fluff” and curve the scarf pieces to make them look like they’re blowing in the wind! Just slightly lift the ends and tassel pieces to curve them a bit. Now we can make our two pieces into spheres by closing up the other seams! Start with the body piece. Apply glue to the bottom tab along the side -- this will be the wider end of your sphere. I found that it was easiest to hold the shape together when I started with this tab. You may need to wait longer than fifteen seconds for the glue to set and hold the tab in place permanently, as the pieces will naturally want to curl inward. Then, just paint your snowman’s features: eyes with some lashes because why not? Then, draw a carrot nose and a mouth to finish it off. This winter wonderland wreath has such a lovely flush of pink right at the center of all that snowy white. There’s also a ton of different textures from the pompoms, the spiky bottlebrush(look here) trees, and the fuzzy, foamy wreath form.

Let’s attach our assembled top hat to our snowman’s head! Place a generous line of glue around the inside edge of the hat at the very corner, where the brim meets the side. Instead of buying boards, I used T1-11 siding (a type of plywood) that I had left over from renovating my garage. I used my circular saw and a Kreg Rip-Cut to rip the siding into strips the same width as the pine boards. Do the same thing with the rest of the tabs, making sure to hold the top of the hat in place against the brim while waiting for the glue to dry on each tab. When you’re finished, your hat should look similar to mine. NOTE: If you'd like to put a tea light or fairy lights inside your finished snowman, you can use either file version. However, you will get some light leaking out of the dashed cut lines if you use that version.

Now do the same thing for the other three tabs. Make sure to hold each tab in place with your finger or spatula until the glue dries. Once the tabs are attached on each of your four pieces so they’re making curved shapes, we can make the head and body spheres. Now you can add a tea light or fairy lights inside and display your snowman on a tabletop, mantle, or shelf to brighten up your holiday season!
