I'm going to assume that the coffee pot is no longer going to be used to make coffee. Using white acrylic paint, paint three circles each one getting a little smaller than the one before it, the biggest one being on the bottom. Fill the circles with white paint and let it dry. Draw a face on the snowman: two black circles for eyes, one sideways slim triangle to represent a carrot for the nose and several black circles in a :-) for the mouth . Next paint a top hat at an angle on the snowman's head and paint a colorful scarf around it's neck. Finally draw 2 twigs from the middle circle outward on each side representing the snowman's arms. There are lots of illustrations of snowman on the net. You can find one to copy from.

Sounds really cool! Can't wait to see the finished product!
Hello — the secret to making craft items appear to be vintage or to have a rustic quality is to apply Modpodge antique matte finish. Your local craft store has it. There are tutorials online that show the process. It is also the perfect application if transferring a snowman to the coffeepot rather than using a stencil. Good luck.
Maybe think in terms of how a small child might paint it.
