Tea Light Snowman Ornament!

When I saw some ideas like this bouncing around Pinterest I just had to give it a try. I’m pretty sure they are the cutest Christmas Ornaments I’ve ever seen! They cost about $3 to make too!

You will need:

*A battery operated tea light candle (you can get these at most $2 stores – $1.99 for a pack of 2)

Red ribbon

Black felt

Sharpie pens – black & pink/red

Glue gun

Scissors

Pen

The first step is to make his cute lil hat!

Step 1

Start by tracing around the tea light to get the right shaped circle

Step 2

Cut a 3cm x 6cm (approx) rectangle shape

Step 3

Cut the two shapes out

Step 4

Shape the rectangle shape into a cylinder shape & glue along the seam

Step 5

Trace the bottom of the cylinder to create another circle & cut it out

Glue the small circle atop the cylinder & glue that to the larger circle and voila, you have your very own DIY Snowman hat! EASY!

Cute right! You will notice that I also added a small amount of ribbon to ‘trim’ the hat. Just use a small amount of glue to hold this down : )

Next we move on to the ribbon on the tea light candle : )

Step 1 

Cut a length of the ribbon that will be long enough (based on the size of the bow you would like). Glue the top and the sides of the ribbon to the  candle.

Step 2

Tie the ribbon in a bow

Step 3

Cut another length of ribbon and fold it over to work out the size of the ‘hanger’ you require, then glue gun this to the back of the tea light.

Then simply draw on his face with the sharpies. I dotted on some pink cheeks & smudged them a little, then drew on the eyes & mouth.

Now flick the switch and behold the oohs & aahs ; )

*please note some LED Candles contain lithium batteries which can be very harmful to children if swallowed, please ensure you use the glue gun to secure the opening.
