All you need for this cute snowman project is a salt/pepper shaker, a wooden or foam bead/ball and assorted trims.
You can choose to fill the shaker with 'snow' or beads but this one was pretty cloudy so I decided to brush Mod Podge on in random spots and roll in ultra-fine glitter.
For the head, I used a foam ball. Even though it was white already, I brushed it with Mod Podge and rolled in the glitter as well.
I have a bunch of these key 'things' so that's what I used to make the tag. I printed the words on paper, glued on and used a sanding block to remove excess paper.
Since this snow lady likes her 'bling', I added some to the tag.
More bling from a piece of an old necklace and some decorative yarn/ribbon for a feather-like boa help to complete her look.
For her hat, a band of sparkly rhinestones and an old post earring dressed it up! Bead were glued in for the eyes and a spray painted toothpick was used for her nose.
These are addicting and so fun to make. They're also a great way to use up those 'odds and ends' of jewelry and trims you might have!

Hi Lauren! Thanks for visiting me at my blog. I just love your salt shaker snowman, or lady really! She is quite dressed up. I have so many pieces of old jewelry and trims that I could easily make one of these....once I find a salt shaker. It was fun visiting your blog!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty snow lady! Will have to keep my eye open for a salt shaker that would work.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness... and you thought MINE was adorable... This blingy snow lady is the cutest thing!!

ReplyDeleteThanks Pam - head to the dollar store and grab a few shakers!

DeleteSo adorable! Hugs and blessings, Cindy
ReplyDeleteWhat a darling idea, Lauren...how clever!
ReplyDeleteShe is the most beautiful snowlady I have seen. Something tells me making these snow ladies can be addictive. You can really have fun blinging her up.
ReplyDeleteYou should have seen all of the 'bling' I had out. I had to really tone her down haha but yes, it IS addicting! Thanks Debra :)
DeleteYour snow lady is just adorable! Your do the neatest crafts, Lauren!
ReplyDeleteThis is adorable, Lauren. And the jewels made it even more pretty and special (I'm a jewel lover).
