These tea light snowman ornaments are really easy to make and they look ADORABLE! Who would have thought you could make such a cute Christmas ornament just by using dollar store tea lights?! When you turn on the tea light the “flame” becomes the snowman’s carrot nose! Talk about adorable! The full tutorial is on the next page!

My boys and I made these last year. We had so much fun deciding on how to make them “ours” by mixing up ribbons, pom poms, and when they were done they decided they were just too cute to give away. They still have them on their trees.
Tamara Gerber says
Are they cute or what?
Melissa S says
Adorable! Great for the tree and for present toppers.
Becca says
The instructions are so clear that I plan to make these with my grandchldren when they stay over. They will be on fall break in October so this will make a great & easy craft for us to do together.
Thanks
Doris Cote says
Adorable and simple.
Annne M. Hughes says
This is GREAT! Thank you for sharing. I am thinking of making them into necklaces for my volunteer team for this year’s food drive. Do you think attaching a red shoelace/cord/ribbon to the earmuffs will hold up as a necklace? Any suggestions?
Debbie @ One Little Project says
I think so?? I would just recommend using a lot more hot glue than what I’ve shown in the photos to make sure they stay together. I think they’d make adorable necklaces!!
Annne M. Hughes says
Thanks!
Rachel Poetker says
These are so great! Just picked up the supplies to make these with 50 3rd grade students. Wish us luck 🙂
Debbie @ One Little Project says
Wonderful! I hope they enjoy them!! And good luck!!! 🙂

I gathered all the supplies to make them, so very easy! The only instruction I looked for was on the scarf, and it was very clear and worked just as instructed. I also just have a tip, I know with myself and markers, when I start making a circle, it gets bigger and then the other one isn’t even sometimes. I was in on the home crafting crazy back in the 90’s. To make perfect circles, use the end of a paint brush or any round item. Dip in black paint. Practice on a napkin. Now to do the one with a top hat!

I just finished making two dozen of these adorable little guys for stocking stuffers and mini-gifts for friends. They look even cuter “in person”. I found three different colors of the sparkly pom poms (red, green and royal blue) along with matching ribbon for the scarves. So, so cute! Everyone went crazy over them, and a Thanksgiving guest bought a dozen to take home with him! Thanks so much for sharing.

Thank you for this craft! We are using this idea in American Heritage girls tonight! They couldn’t be more adorable!
Heather says
This is so cute! I’m wanting to do it this Christmas with my daughter. As I looked at the supplies and the links out, it looks like the tea lights, when lit, make for a warm color rather than a cool color to keep the snowman white. Are these the one’s you used?
catamour says
Very nice tutorial. Thank you very much, I will try to do this for Christmas with my grandchildren
Thanks agan

Great tutorial! I made these with wax voltive candles and beads for eyes. Turned ok, but would have been cuter with the battery voltives. Thanks!!
Traci says
These turned out adorable and were so easy and fun to do…Thank u, HAPPY HOH
Cami says
This was a huge PINTEREST FAIL for my crafting group!
Leanne Andrews says
These are so darling! Found them after a search from the general idea on a page elsewhere. They also shared a link where you can buy teeny tiny black top hats on Amazon…shared below. I think I am going to make these to put on gifts and gift bags used for food gifting. Thanks for the tutorial! (Went ahead and put the link to my defunct blog…that I really should start back in on. I have a lot of time on my hands now and I may have to do just that!)

I LOVE this! A friend and I want to make these at a ladies craft night at church, but I want to print all the steps. When I try to highlight/copy/paste, the photos don’t come with it AND it’s 26 pages… can you help me so we can have instructions for that craft table, please? Thanks SO much!
Nancy says
I made 8 of these. I found the sharpie did not stay on, must have been me. I used a hole punch to get perfect circles for the eyes and mouth. I also bent glittery pipe cleaners to make bows to attache to the bottoms instead of ribbon scarf. I love the tutorial you provided and enjoyed making these. My granddaughter gets half because at 5 yrs old she is craft obsessed. My spare bedroom is our Craft Castle
Ellen says
I love these and will be teaching the ladies at my church how to make. I ended up gluing the pom poms on the pipe cleaner before attaching the pipe cleaner and putting the hanging ribbon under the pipe cleaner before gluing the second side. Otherwise I was having trouble getting the pipe cleaner on evenly and because I had the pipe cleaner on flush to the candle I couldn’t get the ribbon under it! Thanks for your post! We are making these to sell at our community crisis pregnancy center’s annual fall festival (a fundraiser) in November.

My 13 year old just made one as her demo model as she will needed an activity to run with her Girl Guide patrol this week. It looks so adorable, that I sent the link through to an older daughter to use with her Girl Guide group. Thank you for making this available to all of us. I’m sure the Guides will really enjoy making them.
