What I like about these snowman candles (besides it’s easy & very affordable), is that you can keep it up even after the holidays.  I keep a lot of my snowmen stuff up and out until it’s time for spring decorating.

What do I need to make a diy snowman candle?

  • A candle of your choice
  • Paint or Markers
  • Paint Brush
  • Fabric
First use black paint to paint on the snowman face of your choice. You’ll see the candle on the right I decided to paint his lid as a hat. The candle on the left is a battery operated candle, but you could do this on pillar candles as well.

You could also use paint markers or permanent markers as well.

Next use orange paint or a marker to draw on a carrot nose.

Optional – cut a small piece of fleece to wrap around your candle as a scarf. Another option is to buy a scarf and wrap it around the base of a bigger candle. Then the scarf can be used by whomever you are giving it to as well.

You’re gift is ready to give!  Kids can get in on this project – great for gifts and classroom parties.

They make great party crafts or favors, and gifts.
I used some paint that was meant for glass, painted on a snowman face, and followed the instructions for cure time. You can see my full snowman mug tutorial and I will show how I turned it into a fun gift as well.
You can find my original Snowman Family Project here. I really loved this little project and at the same time, I can only keep so many projects that I make. You can start with any scrap wood that you want.

    1. Thank you Lynda, and here’s a tip for the kids… if they are trying to paint the eyes and mouth, have them dip q-tips in the paint to help make the circles 🙂
