Add some personalized detail to these lovable snowmen by adding your own touch! Do a quick rummage through your craft supplies and see what you can come up with! There’s plenty of different options for adding more character to these little snowmen if you so wish. Have you considered adding some glitter, or stringing them together with lights? Swap out some materials to color coordinate with your other ornaments, or add more detail using craft decorations like googly eyes.

They’re perfect for garland, wreaths and Christmas themed centrepieces! They’re lightweight, so they can hang off of almost anything, too!

Supplies Needed
- Battery operated tea lights
- Black permanent marker (we used sharpie)
- Ribbons (your color of choice)
- Pipe Cleaners (your color of choice)
- Pom Poms (your color of choice)
- Glue Gun (and glue sticks)
- Scissors
- Ornament hooks
How to Make a Tealight Snowmen Ornament Craft
Use your black marker to draw a face onto the tea light. You can use googly eyes if you want, but we prefer the look of simple black dots.
Cut a pipe cleaner at approximately 6”. Fold it into a “V” shape and twist both sides together.
Cut a piece of ribbon at approximately 4.5” – 5” long, add a small line of glue to the back of the “scarf” and attach it to the tea light. Crisscross your ribbon and secure it to the front by adding more glue.
Curve your twisted pipe cleaner around the tea light and add a small dot of hot glue on both ends to hold it in place. (Don’t glue it the entire way around because you’ll need to be able to slide the hook under the pipe cleaner later.)
Add a generous dab of hot glue where the ears would be and secure the pom poms.
The tea light flame is orange when it’s turned on which makes it look like a carrot. (If you’d like, you could color the flame orange with a marker so that it looks like a carrot even when the tea light is turned off.)
Repeat this process for the second tea light (we opted to use different colors for our second one to make them stand out) Afterwards, add the ornament hooks and hang in the tree.
