How to Make a Snowman Wreath
This adorable snowman wreath is perfect for winter! Hang it up when it turns cold, and leave it up until springtime! The grapevine wreaths make it strong enough to withstand a lot of winter weather, so you don’t have to worry about it falling apart. This easy tutorial can be adapted to whatever colors and style you prefer.
What You Will Need
- Grapevine wreaths I used two 8 inch and one 6 inch
- Black craft paint
- Red ribbon for the hat band
- Holly leaves optional as they make this a bit Christmasy
- Iced branches
- Darice paper mache hat
- Plaid ribbon 9 inch wide version
- Dowel rod
- Hot glue and glue gun
- Scissors
- Craft knife
- Paint brush
Instructions
- Use your craft knife to cut the paper mache hat in half.
- Paint a half of the hat with the black craft paint. It will probably take a few coats for complete coverage. Be sure to allow it to dry completely before continuing.
- In the meantime, you can begin to assemble the wreaths together into a snowman. Use hot glue to secure them together. I also added a small scrap of ribbon to the back of each joint to have an additional surface for adding glue.
- The smallest 6-inch wreath goes on top as the head of your snowman. Tie a length of ribbon around the “neck” under the head for his scarf. You can use more hot glue under your scarf to help to hold everything together.
- Trim your iced branches to length with scissors and add them as arms with more hot glue.
- Add red ribbon around the bottom of the hat as a hatband. You can also add a few holly leaves if desired. Secure everything into place with hot glue.
- Then add the hat half to the top of your snowman wreath with hot glue. It will not stand up all by itself, so add a cut dowel rod to the inside of the hat as shown to help it stand up. Use hot glue to secure.
