10 Minute Light-up Snowman DIY Craft
In today’s post, I’m excited to share a fantastic DIY project that will add a touch of whimsy and warmth to your winter and Christmas decor. Get ready to bring a magical glow into your home with a lighted snowman DIY craft made entirely from items found at the Dollar Tree.
This easy and budget-friendly craft is perfect for beginners and experienced DIY enthusiasts alike. Not only will this adorable snowman illuminate your space, but it will also infuse it with a cheerful and festive ambiance.
Get ready to embrace the holiday spirit, and let’s dive into this fun and illuminating adventure!
- For this project, the first thing you’ll want to get are three clear, plastic ornaments from the local dollar store. Make sure each one is bigger than the other.
- Remove the metal top from each. You can discard, as we will not be needing them.
- Now, you’ll want to melt a hole on the top part of the medium and large size ornaments. You can use the tip of the hot glue gun if you don’t have a hot tool.
- Now take a string of battery operated, LED lights and thread them through the hole on the medium size ornament. The lights I am using have ten lights on them, so I am threading 6 of them in the medium size ornament, and then placed the remaining 4 lights inside the small ornament.
- Then, add hot glue on the rim of the medium-sized ornament and join them together by placing the small ornament top inside the medium ornament top.
- Thread a different set of LED lights through the hole of the large ornament
- Once the lights are all inside the large ornament, place hot glue on the center of a foam round from Dollar Tree
- Then, press the ornament right on the foam. Hold it in place until it hardens.
- Now, you’ll want to place hot glue on top of the large ornament
- And place the medium and small ornaments on top of it. Hold until it hardens.
- Now, find a fabric of choice and cut off a piece that’s about 20 inches long.
- Tie it around the “neck” of the snowman in a simple knot.
- For this next step, you can use faux fur or snow, or you can buy these dusters, which are the Dollar Tree, and use it to cover the foam base.
- Hot glue it in place until it’s fully covered.
- You can leave it as is, or you can add embellishments as needed. I added greenery….
- And a pine code to the front base.
And that’s it! How fun and beautiful is this light-up snowman DIY craft!?
