Super Simple Snowmen {3/12 Christmas Crafts}

I am starting to realize that I am slightly OCD.
I start working on one space - and can't leave it alone.



Take for example my mini*mantel that I shared with you a few days ago... Well, I've added a few good men to it. Snowmen, that is! =)


These guys were super simple and *CHEAP* {please don't tell them I called them that!}

I got the Styrofoam balls from dollar store - they came in different sizes 6 to a pack.
I bought the pipe cleaners from Hobby Lobby $0.87 each package. And I had the straight pins, thumb tacks and Sharpie.



I am so glad Isabel wanted to help out! We don't get to do crafts together that often. I ♥ her.

Besides the snowmen, I also made several more trees. I loved using the pipe cleaners {the more I type that, the more I wonder if that's their official craft name. lol}  Here are my bald snowmen next to some cool trees.


And... here is my mini*mantel space and the radio cabinet beneath it.
I've added the poinsettias, a vase filled with cranberry foam balls, the trees and snowmen, a lovely green candy dish (Goodwill $1 several months ago!) and a frame with a bow.

I realize it may be a bit much - all of it. So I have since moved the frame. But now that I look at the picture below, I am kinda digging it there.


So there we have our third craft (and a small repeat of craft #2)...


I am truly digging this holiday season!

  1. The bald snowmen are awesome. But, aren't all snowmen bald?? If they had hair, well that would be weird. :)
    Love all your decorations...and it is NEVER too much! NEVER!
