Ingredients For snowmen

  • two small logs or fence post or any piece of wood really ( i used small logs)

  • black, & orange, acrylic paint (pink for the cheeks is optional) and white paint.
  • (IF YOU WILL HAVE THESE OUTSIDE, USE AN EXTERIOR PAINT… I JUST USED AN EXTERIOR PRIMER) * SMALL PAINT BRUSHES AND A LARGE BRUSH FOR WHITE PAINT.
  • small paint brushes and a large brush for white paint
  • pen or pencil to trace the face and buttons
  • drop cloth or something to paint on.

How To Make snowmen

  • 1
    First make sure your logs are clean and ready to paint. Paint the logs with the white paint. Let dry! Take a pencil or pen and trace the face and buttons anyway you would like. (Keep in mind that the pen might show through the orange paint… I found this out the hard way!)
  • 2
    Take your acrylic paint and paint the eyes, mouth and buttons black, and the nose orange. If you want, you can put a little pink on the cheeks. Let dry! * Next is the fun part! Place the hat on top of the snowman and put the scarf around the neck of the snowman! I used thumb tacks to secure the scarf around the Snowman. But you could use whatever you want or simply tie the scarf.
