Snowman Craft from Foam Cups
One of my all time favorite things to make during the winter months are snowman crafts. You can make almost anything into a snowman!
This time I went with foam cups, though I’ve used cardboard tubes, potato chip cans, and even blocks of wood! Pssst…if you have extra plastic spoons, you might want to try these plastic spoon snowmen!
Snowman Craft from Foam Cups
For my snowmen, I used coordinating “outfits”, matching up the colors of the scarves and earmuffs. You can use whatever colors you like!
This is a fun snowy day craft the kids will love. They are easy to make and fun to display.
You will need:
- Foam cups
- Felt
- Medium pom poms
- Pipe cleaners
- White craft glue
- Scissors
- Black marker
Cut a 1-inch wide strip of felt using the full length of the felt sheet. Fringe the ends with scissors by cutting 4 or 5 slits at each end.
Place your foam cup upside down. Glue the scarf around the cup, leaving enough room for a face.
Cut triangles from orange felt and glue them to the face area.
For the earmuffs, cut a pipe cleaner in half. Bend it around the top of the snowman and trim the ends so that they hang over by about 1/2-inch.
Trim one side of a pom pom to make it a little flatter.
Glue to the pipe cleaner on the side of the snowman’s head. Repeat for the other side.
Use a black marker to add eyes. You can add eyebrows if you like as well! I always do because it adds to their cute expressions and gives them character.
If you liked this project, you’ll love Michelle’s foam cup farm animal set! And this is one of my favorite snowman crafts of all time! -> Cardboard Tube Children & Snowmen
Hope you have fun!

Holiday Hack: How To Make Your Christmas Tree Look Fuller
Have you ever brought out the holiday decorations and wished your Christmas tree was fuller? We’ve got a holiday hack that is SO easy you won’t believe it. With this one simple step, your tree will be brighter and more beautiful.
How To Make Your Christmas Tree Look Fuller
The trick is really simple — all you have to do is string two sizes of lights on your tree.
We have a pre-lit tree, so I just added a couple of strands of these large bulbs around the tree and the difference is astounding!
The second set of lights adds dimension to the tree, making it beautiful and bright.
Now it’s ready to add all of your homemade ornaments! We added no-mess glitter ornaments to ours — they sparkle and shine in the lights! So beautiful!

Simple & Easy Christmas Activity Countdown
Have a joy-filled holiday season with this fun Christmas activity countdown!
It’s filled with simple activities to do together to bring the meaning of Christmas back to your family.
Holiday activities, crafts, and simple family activities to do together.
What do the Holidays mean to you?
To me, the holidays are about time spent laughing, smiling, and creating memories with family. Smells of cinnamon and pine. Lights hung. And Christmas carols in the background.
As we get older, we get wiser. We realize that the most meaningful things are rarely “things”. They’re moments. They’re family. They’re memories. But when the stress of the holidays sets in, it’s easy to get caught up in the chaos.
I’m partnering with SunTrust Bank this holiday season to remind you of what the holidays really mean. To avoid the overspending and save this holiday season by focusing on what really matters.
SunTrust created a Holiday Planning Guide and a Holiday Budget Spreadsheet to help this holiday season. Just click the links to download (it’s completely free)!
I also created this simple Christmas Activity Countdown to anticipate each day until Christmas and enjoy plenty of fun on your way!
