Recycled Amber Bottle Snowmen
I love using mixed media and found objects to create Christmas ornaments and these are just adorable!
These little cuties took shape with bits and pieces from my workshop.
The small amber bottles were a thrift store find that I held on to for years waiting for just the right time to use them.
I filled each bottle with a small amount of epsom salts then glued on a wooden ball for the head.
I painted the heads white.
For the hats I used little slices of dowel and a wooden bingo marker, they did the trick.
I put a tiny screw eye in the top of each one for a hanger.
I added a tiny face using Sharpie markers.
The scarf was made with pieces of a vintage measuring tape I pulled out of a broken tape measure. The tape measure was a treasured garage sale find, there must have been 15 feet of tape inside!
These little cuties sold out fast at our neighborhood craft fair. I could have used about 50 more bottles!
They look beautiful on the tree and the white lights shine through the amber glass making a beautiful glow.

My mother passed away in ‘99 I have her cloth tape measure. This will be perfect for a family share! No longer hidden in a box but on our memory trees each year. Thank you :)
