Do you want to build a snowman? Recently I pulled out my sewing machine and after blowing off some dust, I got a little crafty. I had an idea to make a DIY felt snowman wall hanging for my kids. I did stich along all my snowman shapes. However, you could also avoid sewing altogether and just cut all the felt out for this project. Whether you live somewhere with the fluffy white stuff, or are merely dreaming of a white Christmas, your kids can enjoy building their own snowman all winter (or year) long! Some links contain affiliates, all opinions are my own.
make a DIY felt snowman
This DIY felt snowman project is a really easy craft to make for your kids. Like I mentioned, you don’t even need to sew if you don’t want to. The great thing about felt is that it won’t fray so you can cut and leave the edges raw. If you’re going to double line your backing make sure you sew on your D-rings before you stich both layers together.
shapes to consider cutting out for your snowman:
- coal buttons
- pebble eyes
- top hat
- twig arms
- flower accessory
- winter scarf
- slouchy beanie
materials needed:
- felt in various colors
- fabric scissors
- D-rings (for hanging on the wall)
- sewing machine (optional)
