How to Make Wooden Spoon Snowmen:
- Apply a coat of white acrylic craft paint to the wooden spoons and spatula. Let dry and apply a second coat, if necessary.
- Using scissors, cut the rounded ends off a wooden craft stick. Paint the craft stick and top 1/3 of wooden spatula with black acrylic craft paint. Let dry and apply a second coat, if necessary. Glue the black craft stick to the wooden spatula to create the hat brim.
- Make snowman faces: To create carrot noses, cut three triangles from orange craft foam. Attach two wiggle eyes and a carrot nose to each wooden spoon for the snowman face.
- To create the earmuffs, measure and cut a chenille stem to 4” long. Bend into a “U” shape and glue to either side of the wooden spoon. Attach pom poms over the cut end of each stem using a glue gun and glue sticks.
- Create the snowmen mouths by dipping the end of a paintbrush handle into black acrylic craft paint. Then gently tap in a row to make a smile shape. It makes perfectly round dots!
- Tie ribbon scarves around the neck of each snowman, securing with a dot of glue.
- Attach two black buttons to the handle of each wooden spoon with a glue gun and glue sticks.
- Embellish the snowman’s top hat: Paint a wooden snowflake sticker with light blue acrylic craft paint. Attach to the wooden spatula snowman hat with a glue gun and glue sticks. To finish, place a self-adhesive rhinestone in the center of the snowflake.
Change up the size of the wooden spoons and spatulas to create a variety of snowman to share with family and friends. This is a great craft project for tweens and teens to create on their own or with younger crafters.
