Here's how to create a Snowman from Craft Sticks:
STEP ONE
To begin the Dollar Tree Christmas DIY Craft Stick Snowman, gather all supplies. To create each snowman, line up five jumbo craft sticks on your work surface. Lay one craft stick across the first snowman as a hat brim and draw a line with a pencil.
STEP TWO
Basecoat the top portion of the craft sticks and brim with Lamp Black acrylic craft paint. Basecoat the bottom portion of the craft sticks and the second snowman with Titanium White acrylic craft paint. Set aside to let the paint dry, and apply a second coat, if necessary. Attach the hat brim to the snowman with a glue gun and glue sticks. Using scissors, trim the final jumbo craft stick in half and glue to the top and bottom of the back of the second snowman. TIP: You can use liquid craft glue for this project, but you would have to wait for it to dry.
STEP THREE
Cut two triangle carrot noses from orange craft foam. Attach two wiggle eyes and a carrot nose to each snowman with a glue gun and glue sticks. TIP: Orange felt, or cardstock would also work for this project, use what you have on hand.
STEP FOUR
Measure and cut a scrap of ribbon as the hat band, and glue to the top hat snowman. To create the earmuffs, measure and cut a silver tinsel chenille stem to 8” long. Bend into a “U” shape and glue to either side of the craft stick snowman. Attach pom poms over the cut end of each stem using a glue gun and glue sticks.
STEP FIVE
To finish the Dollar Tree Christmas DIY Craft Stick Snowman, paint a rosy cheek on each snowman with Bubblegum Pink acrylic craft paint. Basecoat two wooden snowflakes with Whispering Turquoise acrylic craft paint. Draw a smile on each snowman with the MONO Twin Permanent Black Marker. Attach snowflakes to snowmen with a glue gun and glue sticks. Place a self-adhesive rhinestone in the center of each snowflake. TIP: Use craft foam snowflake stickers, or punch snowflakes from cardstock. Use what you have on hand.
