Button and Felt Snowman Ornament

Crafting a Button and Felt Snowman Ornament is a delightful way to add a touch of whimsy to your holiday decor. This charming DIY project involves combining colorful buttons and soft felt to create a cute snowman that will bring a smile to anyone's face. By threading buttons together to form the snowman's body and using felt to cut out a tiny top hat and scarf, you can easily personalize this ornament to suit your style. Whether you're crafting solo or with loved ones, making a Button and Felt Snowman Ornament is a fun and relaxing activity that will surely spread joy and cheer during the festive season.

Materials:

Small piece of felt for the backing

Small piece of felt for the hat

3 White Two Hole Buttons in three sizes

Scarf Ribbon

Hanging Ribbon

Black Sharpie

Glue

Scissors

Procedure:

1. Glue three buttons to a piece of felt turning the top button perpendicular to form the snowman’s eyes. Before gluing the top button, darken the felt behind the button holes with a black Sharpie to make the eyes stand out.

2. Cut a hat shape from gray felt and glue at an angle to the top button.

3. Thread a piece of felt between the first and second button and tie to form the scarf. Glue the ends into place if necessary.

4. Trim around the buttons forming a snowman shape. Glue a piece of cord or ribbon to the back of the felt to make a hanger.

5. **Not Shown** I glued a second piece of felt to the back of the snowman to hide the eye spots and cord. After the glue dried, I trimmed the felt to match the shape of the front.

Note that the buttons that I used for this one don’t match which adds to his charm.
