Christmas is just over a week away. If you are still looking for ideas for a quick gift to make, these wooden snowmen may be the perfect thing!
I am a Big Sister in the Big Brothers Big Sisters program. My 12 year-old Little Sister wanted to make gifts for her family. She loves woodworking and wanted to build something for everyone in her large family. The project needed to be fairly simple and we needed to be able to get multiple done in a short period of time. She decided to make wooden snowmen.
I know there are many tutorials out there on how to make these, but here is a 12 year-old's take on the project. I think they turned out great!

Needed Materials:
Step 2: Fill any holes with wood putty. Sand the boards.
Step 3: Paint your boards.
Step 4: If you are making wood hats, use wood glue to attach your hat rim and top to your snowmen.
These snowmen are easy to make and can be decorated any way that you want. The snowmen that my Little Sister made are very personalized, but you can make yours as plain of fancy as you want.
I had wood scraps and craft supplies at home, so these did not cost anything to make! If you do have to buy the wood, you can buy one board for just a few dollars and make quite a few snowmen out of one board.
This would be a great project for kids to make for their family members, teachers, family friends, or neighbors. This would also make a great snow day project!
Enjoyed the project?

Thank you, but I was looking for something made out of wool scraps, not wood, and I believe I have found it. Thank you. Your idea is simply lovely.
