These snowman Christmas ornaments are super easy to make! You can make at least a dozen of them in just one weekend! Once completed they can be used as ornaments, package tie-ons, hung from a peg hook, etc. A great craft project for older kids and adults to make.

Quick and Easy Wood Balls Snowman Christmas Ornament
3 Unfinished Wood Balls with Pre-Drilled Holes
10″ Long White Rope
Acrylic Craft Paints: White and Black
Orange Air-Dry Modeling Clay
Scrap Satin Ribbon
Paint Brush, Water Dish, Paper Towels
Scissors
Craft Glue
Paint all 3 of the wood balls with white acrylic craft paint. We used 2 coats of paint with 30 minutes of drying time between coats. Take a pea-sized amount of orange modeling clay and shape it into a small carrot shape. We used a wood toothpick to make the indentations. Let it dry overnight.
Dot on 3 small black dots on one ball to serve as the snowman’s buttons. Glue the carrot shaped nose onto that same bead. Then dot on 5 smaller dots with black paint to serve as the mouth. Let dry.
Form the white rope into a loop knotting the 2 ends together leaving about a 1/2″ long tail. Thread the 3 painted balls onto it. Add another knot right above the ball that forms the snowman’s head. You should be left with a nice loop at the top for hanging. Finish up by tying a scrap piece of ribbon around the neck to serve as the scarf. We used 1/8″ wide red satin ribbon. That’s it, you’re done!
