Who needs a few snowman decorations for their tree? When you can make them in about 5 minutes, I think we all do! I am in love with these wood bead snowmen and how simple they are. Grab your craft supplies and whip up a batch today! This is the second day of Craft Lightning where we are sharing quick and easy holiday crafts all week. If you have missed any of the fun so far, be sure to click here to catch up with day 1. You will also want to scroll to the bottom of this post for a ton of ideas for today from our blog partners for this series.
Supplies needed to make these snowman decorations:
- Large wood beads
- Twine
- Black permanent marker
- Orange permanent marker
- Scissors
- Tape (optional)
Start by cutting a length of twine and knotting at the top. Gather the two ends and wrap tape around them if desired. This will help you when threading on the wood beads. It is not required but definitely recommended.
Thread the end through three of your wood beads then remove the tape.
Tie the ends together a few times and trim away any excess twine.
Use your markers to add a snowman face to your ornament.
Just like that you have a cute ornament to hang on your tree. Keep going and make even more of these adorable snowman decorations.

I love your beaded snowmen! So easy and so cute!
You’re so clever!
Those are adorable! Pinned.
Your snowmen are very cute and this is an easy craft for young children to enjoy. I’d add narrow strips of (torn) fabric to serve as mini scarves. A quarter or a half of a yard of calico or flannelette would make lots OR better still, buy an old man’s flannel (preferably plaid) shirt from a used clothing shop and rip off strips. Leave the edges frayed for a rustic/casual look. Another idea would be – use small lengths of bulky yarn in Christmas colors as scarves.
What size are the wood beads?
You could use any size! I would say around 1 inch is what I used however.
