2x4 Snowman

Have I mentioned that crafty neighbor girl moved to Texas? Yep. She up and left me. I miss her everyday. What does this have to do with a snowman. You're about to find out. Here is my 2x4 snowman....


Love everything about him except his face. If crafty neighbor girl was still my neighbor I would walk down to her house. It would be late at night but she would be up working on something. I would then tell her my snowman has a ugly face. She would laugh and instantly come up with an adorable snowman face. I miss and love crafty neighbor girl :)

Want to make your own snowman? (I really keep wanting to call him a pumpkin. LOL!) It's easy. You will need:

*A 2x4. Cut pieces as follows: (1) 5 inch piece, (1) 4 inch piece and (2) 3 inch pieces.
*3/4 thick MDF. I used some scraps I had for the hat
*Ribbon for the scarf
*Mod Podge scrapbook paper on the hat.
*permanent marker for the face and scrapbook paper for the carrot nose
*glue it all together with Gorilla Glue.

The best thing about 2x4 projects is they are so easy. Have a wonderful crafty day!

  3. I think he is really cute. I want to make one to go with the Tree that I am making. They would look cute together. We just need a Santa now.

    P.S. My girls love the song, "Stuck Like Glue." My 19 month old dropped her lunch and started dancing as soon as it started!

  12. OH, that is SO CUTE! I'm going to have to read through more of your posts now. Bummer about your neighbor moving, though. We're army, and I have that happen on a regular basis. It's hard to see those good friends go, always hoping to see them again. ;) I'm living to Firework by Katy Perry, on your page. COOL!

  14. Silly question, but are the 2x4's placed so that the wide sides are together? What is the height of your snowman? I'm not sure if I'm doing it correctly!

  20. I loved this idea so much that I made a bunch for my co-workers for Christmas this year as for the face Problem you mentioned. I used black buttons for his eyes and felt obtuse triangle for his nose. Turned out way cute! Thank you so much for posting this!
