Here's how to create a DIY Snowman from Dollar Tree Picture Frames:

STEP ONE

Gather all supplies and protect your work surface.

Remove cardboard backing, paper liner, and glass from picture frames.  Set these items aside.

STEP TWO

In a well-ventilated area (or outside) spray paint plastic picture frames white.  Apply several light coats to achieve a solid coating.

STEP THREE

Using the paper picture frame liner as a base, apply layers of doilies onto the plain white side with an adhesive runner.

Flip over and trim all edges with scissors.

Repeat with all three picture frame inserts.

STEP FOUR

Insert doily covered papers and cardboard backing into all three picture frames.

STEP FIVE

Stack picture frames and secure matching edges with a strong adhesive like E6000.  Set aside to dry overnight.

STEP SIX

Cut a carrot nose from orange felt.  Orange cardstock would work as well.

Attach carrot nose, two large black button eyes and three buttons to the snowman with the glue gun and glue sticks.

STEP SEVEN

Measure and cut 24” lengths of at least three types of ribbon.  Tie around snowman’s neck and secure with the glue gun.

STEP EIGHT

Paint snowflake cutout with light blue craft paint.  Set aside to dry.  Outline with clear glitter glue, let dry.  Then glue to the snowman to finish.

This is a fun activity to create with your tweens and teens.  Make a DIY Picture Frame Snowman in just about 30 minutes.
