How to Make Snowman Vase Craft
STEP ONE
Gather all materials. Paint the bottom half of the glass vase with white multi-surface acrylic paint. Let it dry. Add a second coat if needed.

Download, print, and cut out the snowman vase pattern. Trace the hat brim onto black craft felt using a white pencil. Cut it out with scissors. Place the felt on the vase to check the fit. Draw a guideline around the vase.
STEP THREE
Paint from the guideline up to the top of the vase with black multi-surface acrylic paint. Let it dry. Apply a second coat if needed.
STEP FOUR
Place the black felt hat brim onto the vase. Glue it in place using a hot glue gun.
STEP FIVE
Glue the blue and white gingham ribbon around the base of the hat. Tie it into a loose knot. Trim the ends by cutting a small notch. Secure the ribbon to the hat with glue.
STEP SIX
Cut a triangle from orange craft felt to make the carrot nose. Glue on two black buttons for the eyes and attach the nose. Add six self-adhesive black rhinestones to form the mouth.
STEP SEVEN
Paint a wooden snowflake with white acrylic paint and let it dry. Glue it onto the hat. Add clear self-adhesive rhinestones for extra detail.
