Imagine a snowy night, where dozens of tiny snowmen gather inside your home, ready to greet family and friends.

These yogurt jar snowmen carry that same storybook feeling. Their painted faces beam with joy, their scarves and hats brimming with character.

Making them is half the fun, you can invite kids or friends to join and create a whole family of quirky little characters.

Also, each snowman becomes a memory, a keepsake, and a charming addition to your holiday décor.

Materials Needed

• Clean yogurt jars (washed and dried)
• White acrylic paint (matte finish works best)
• Black paint and small black cups
• Orange paint or clay
• Red and patterned ribbon
• Hot glue gun and glue sticks
• Small embellishments: holly leaves, buttons, twine, mini wreaths
• Fine brushes

Step-by-step Guide

Step 1: Paint the yogurt jars white to create the snowman’s body. Then apply two coats for a smooth finish and let them dry completely.

Step 2: Use black paint (or attach tiny black cups) to make hats. You can add a strip of ribbon or twine for extra detail.

Step 3: Paint cheerful faces including two eyes, rosy cheeks, and a smiling mouth. For the nose, either paint a carrot shape or glue on a tiny clay piece.

Step 4: Tie small ribbons around the neck of the jar to form scarves. Next, add little embellishments like holly sprigs, buttons, or tiny wreaths for personality.

Step 5: Arrange your snowmen together, and watch them turn into a joyful crowd of holiday characters.

Tips:

When I made these, I found that varying scarf patterns gave each snowman its own charm.

If you’re making them with kids, let them paint funny faces, those quirky details will make your snowmen even more lovable.
