Bring a little bit of the cold inside this winter and make your own Snowman spoon with these easy step by step instructions! This adorable little “snowman” is a fun and decorative craft nearly anyone can make.

Wooden Spoon Craft: Snowman Spoon Puppet

These would be great for a kid’s puppet show (obviously) or to stick in floral foam as part of a centerpiece. If you have indoor herbs and spices growing, these would also be adorable to plop in the pot for winter decor! I’ve started to make my foyer snowman/snowflake decor instead of Christmas. That way, I can leave it up until Valentine’s Day or Easter (depending on how ambitious I am feeling).

You could also tie a candy around the stem, then cover with the ribbon, and use these as a cute little take home Christmas brunch or dinner favor. Add a name to that candy and it becomes a name card for your holiday dinner table!

Notes:

• All the materials necessary to make this easy little snowman spoon craft can be purchased at at JoAnn, Michaels, or Hobby Lobby

• The dollar stores sell wooden spoons.

Wooden Spoon Craft: Snowman Spoon Puppet Materials:

• Wooden Cooking Spoon
• Paint Palette or Paper Plate or Other Small Paint Holder
• White Craft Paint
• Paintbrush
• Black Craft Foam
• Red Craft Foam
• Orange Craft Foam
• 2 Winter Themed Craft Gems (for the eyes)
• Black Self-adhesive Craft Gems (for the mouth)
• Hot Glue Gun (low temp)
• Hot Glue
• Scissors
• Small Piece of Ribbon or Fabric (for the scarf)

Wooden Spoon Craft: Snowman Spoon Puppet Instructions:

• Cover your work surface in case of spills. You can use a disposable tablecloth, cardboard, newspaper, etc. If your children are doing this craft, you really want that work surface covered!
• Paint the entire surface of the wooden spoon with white craft paint.

• Once the paint has dried, using hot glue, attach two winter-themed craft gems to the front of the top of the spoon where you would like your snowman’s eyes to be. We used snowflake shaped craft gems, but you can use any shape or color that you like, you can even swap out the gems for googly eyes.

• Cut out a carrot shaped triangle nose from the orange craft foam, and apply it to the front of the spoon underneath the eyes using a dab of hot glue.

• Place self-adhesive black craft gems in the shape of a smiling mouth on the front of the painted spoon underneath the nose.

• Cut a top hat shape out of the black craft foam.

• Hot glue the top hat to the top of the spoon, a little off to one side.

• Cut out a thin band for the top hat out of the red craft foam.

• Attach the red craft foam band onto the black hat with glue.

• Tie a small piece of ribbon or fabric around the base of the wooden spoon to act as a scarf for your snowman.

Golden Swan Wreath DIY

This stunning wreath takes only 15 minutes to make! Perfect for so many holidays, party functions (think bridal or shower), or as a year-round wreath with a bit of bling, this unusual swan wreath is lovely wall décor or door décor!

Sometimes when my niece comes in with her ideas I give her the old side eye and wonder what she was thinking. When she pulled out the swan (first) … wellll let’s just say I was skeptical. Then she plopped it down on the wreath and I was sold! Yeah, sometimes I gotta see it to understand, but this one was simple to buy into.

I thought this wreath was going to be a winter wreath. Then, it came together and it is just so much more! You could hang it for Christmas, winter, a baby shower, bridal shower, 50th wedding anniversary, sweet 16 – just an all around flexible wreath decor.

Once again my photography skills have failed to convey just how beautiful a wreath this truly is. It sparkles, it glistens, it just pops out at you when you see it. I think I need more photography lessons.

Notes:

• This truly was a 15-minute craft. There are very few pieces, and yet the end result is simply gorgeous. Neither my niece nor I keep many of these crafts (they go to friends & family, she will sell them on Facebook marketplace, or they get donated to the nursing home where my father resides), but this one she claimed even before she started it. LOL She knew exactly how gorgeous it would be. My photography “skills” do not do this justice. It is truly lovely.

• The swan in resting on a piece of greenery because this is white on cream. Without the greenery, the swan would be completely lost on that wreath.

• The greenery chosen is substantial. There were three, fairly thick wires under that wrap. When you can’t immediately clip through the floral wire, just work it back and forth by bending it after the initial clip. You will have made a dent in the wire weakening its integrity, and by bending back and forth the wire will then snap.

Note: everything on this wreath was purchase at my local craft store last week. Winter is in-season at your local Joann Fabric, Michaels, and Hobby Lobby right now!

Golden Swan Wreath DIY Materials:

• 24″ Flocked Wreath
• 2 Floral Picks (pearlized)
• Evergreen Spray
• Swan
• Glitter Spray Branch
• Glitter Berry Spray
• Cutters
• Glue Gun
• Hot Glue

Golden Swan Wreath DIY Instructions:

• Clip the stem off your evergreen spray.

• Rest the evergreen spray at the bottom of the wreath. It is being rested there because otherwise, the swan would be los against the creamy wreath.
• Hot glue in place.

• Place the swan on top of the greenery; hot glue in place
• One pearl pick will be places on a diagonal with the swan’s beak. Hot glue in place.
• The second pearl pick is going to the back of the swan, but not so close that it looks like the swan is having a pearlized bowel movement. Hot glue in place.

• Segment the glitter berry spray (you can just peel it apart). These pieces will be used to cover any large hole or gaps n between the wreath, evergreen, and pearl picks. Once you are satisfied your gap is covered, hot glue the piece of the glitter berry spray in place.

• Cut down the glitter spray branch. Looking at the front of the wreath, tuck the pieces of glitter branch behind the swan to frame it. CAREFULLY turn over the flocked wreath. Hot glue the glitter branches in place (to the swan, and dabs of glue on the wreath).

• Turn the flocked wreath back over (again carefully) and with just a dab of hot glue, secure the tops of the glitter branches in place.

• That’s it! How you can hang your wall décor or door décor (your choice) and enjoy.
