Description
Create a charming DIY Snowman Candy Dish that adds a festive touch to your holiday décor while serving as a functional candy holder.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 clean, empty glass jars (various sizes)
- White paint (acrylic or spray)
- Black felt or foam (for eyes and buttons)
- Orange felt or paper (for the carrot nose)
- Hot glue gun and glue sticks
- Ribbon (for scarf)
- Small candies (for filling the dish and decoration)
- Paintbrush (if using acrylic paint)
- Optional: clear sealant (to protect paint finish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Jars: Start with three clean, dry glass jars. Ensure they are free from labels and residue. Lay down newspaper or a crafting mat to protect your working surface.
- Paint the Jars: Using a paintbrush, coat the jars with white paint. Apply 2-3 layers, allowing each layer to dry before applying the next. For a smooth finish, consider using spray paint.
- Assemble the Snowman: Stack the jars starting with the largest on the bottom and the smallest on top. Secure each jar using hot glue to ensure they stay in place.
- Create Facial Features: Cut out circles from black felt or foam for eyes and buttons. Use hot glue to attach them to the upper jar. Cut a triangle from the orange felt or paper for the carrot nose and glue it in place.
- Add a Scarf: Cut a length of ribbon to create a scarf. Tie it around the neck of the snowman (middle jar).
- Fill with Candies: Fill the top jar with your favorite candies or festive treats. These will serve as the snowman’s ‘hat’ and a delightful surprise for guests!
Notes
Customize the scarf and add accessories for more flair. Use different jar sizes for a family of snowmen. Enjoy hosting a craft night with this project!
