I LOVE a good homemade Christmas ornament... Those sweet homemade ornaments become the keepsakes of future holidays. This ornament was created for a classroom party. Every child made their own SNOWMAN ornament to take home for the holidays. With just a little prep, you can have a beautiful collection of frosty friends. ...I especially LOVE snowmen, because we can enjoy the frosdy cuteness all winter long....

cutest snowman ornament on the christmas tree

1. First I took close-up, side profile photos of the children in the classroom and had them printed. It cost maybe 2.50 for the 25 photos.

2. I pre-cut the kid's faces... as a time saver...if you choose to have the children cut out their own photos, I'd be sure to have doubles printed...just in case of unwieldy scissors...

3. Using card stock I cut out large circles in white, black squares and long rectangles, orange commas and using a "curly" font, I cut out the letter "S" in varying colors.

4. I made an example snowman as a pattern for the children to follow.

5. On party day, each child assembled their snowman with glue sticks.

6. Add a hole punch to the top for a string... and Taaa Daaa... You have just helped to make a childhood memory!

I used the Ellison Letter Machine at our school to make easy work of the cut-outs. If you don't have an Ellison machine...no worries!! The card stock/paper shapes needed are:

Black square-hat
Black rectangle- hat
Orange small triangle-nose
White circle-body
An "s" shape for a scarf...you could also choose to use chenille stems or lengths of thinly cut felt to fill in for the scarf...all are very cute options.

Cut pieces of twine or baker's string to use as a hanger from the top of the hat.

The students used glue sticks to create their snowmen. Tip: Have a package of wipes nearby to clean of gluey fingers.

Here it is hanging from the tree...I will always treasure this sweet school ornament, made with tiny hands...

Here...we tried a two-snow-ball snowman... Make this craft your own with other cute embellishments...
