Once your supplies are ready, the steps are super simple. Let’s walk through how to make your own mason jar snowman.

How to Make a Mason Jar Snowman Craft

Step 1
Gather all supplies. Paint the jar portion of the mason jar white and the neck black using acrylic craft paint. Let dry and apply a second coat if needed.

Step 2
Paint the lid and ring black. Allow to dry completely before adding another coat if necessary.

Step 3
Print and cut out the Mason Jar Snowman Patterns. Use the larger circle as a guide to cut the hat brim from black craft felt.

Step 4
Place the mason jar upside down in the center of the black felt circle and trace around the mouth with a white chalk pencil.

Step 5
Cut out the traced circle from the felt to create a hole for the jar’s neck.

Step 6
Slide the felt hat brim over the neck of the jar. Then, place the painted lid on top and screw on the ring.

Step 7
Cut a small carrot nose from orange craft felt. You can also use cardstock, heavy fabric, or foam if preferred.

Step 8
Choose two large black buttons for eyes. Glue the buttons and carrot nose in place. If using craft glue instead of hot glue, allow extra drying time.

Step 9
Tear plaid fabric into two strips — one about 1 inch wide by 18 inches long and another ½ inch by 10 inches. Tear rather than cut to create frayed edges.

Step 10
Tie the longer strip around the snowman’s “neck” beneath the nose as a scarf. Use the smaller strip to wrap around the hat brim, securing it with glue.

Step 11
Glue a large black button to the front of the jar for decoration.

Step 12
Finish by gluing a glittery snowflake charm to the snowman’s hat band.

A mason jar snowman craft is an easy way to add a little winter charm to your home. It’s fast to make, fun to customize, and great for gifting during the holidays.
