How to Make a Cute Snowman Out of a Bottle

December 18, 2018 By Vanessa Beaty 2 Comments

Been looking for easy holiday crafting projects which you can do in a matter of minutes? Then you are definitely in the right place.

I’ve been uploading a ton of winter craft tutorial videos over the past couple of weeks, and I still have on the way.

How to Make a Cute Snowman Out of a BottleIn today’s video, I am going to be showing you how you can transform an ordinary bottle into an adorable DIY snowman decoration for the holidays!

This project is super easy, and there are no scissors required, so it is a great one for all ages.

Even younger children can enjoy this project. So get out your crafting supplies, and get ready for some creative fun!

As you will see when you check out the materials list for this project below, you only need a few supplies to create your very own snowman.

You are going to need a bottle to work with. It can be glass or plastic and any size or shape you want for the most part—though you do need to be able to fit socks around the top and the bottom. I do recommend that you go with glass if you can.

That way your finished DIY Christmas decoration will be more durable.

Aside from that, you are going to need a pair of holiday socks. Do they need to match? I think that provides for a more unified effect, but no—not really.

In fact, this would be a great way to take mismatched holiday socks with missing pairs and put them to good use.

Actually, technically they do not need to be holiday-themed or winter-themed at all. Even just ordinary socks will suffice, but try and pick some which are colorful.

As for the paint colors you’ll need, at a minimum, you are going to need white spray paint, black paint, and red or orange paint. The red or orange paint is for the snowman’s carrot nose.

If you happen to have red and yellow but not orange, you can mix them to create orange. Otherwise, red works okay as a substitute.

Let’s go ahead and commence with our crafting. Watch the video tutorial and read through the written instructions below to make your handcrafted snowman.

How to Make a Cute Snowman Out of a Bottle

Celebrate the winter holidays by getting out your crafting supplies! In my latest video, I teach you how you can take an ordinary bottle and transform it into a cute snowman decoration. This DIY project is fast, easy and fun, and it is perfect for creative souls of any age.

Prep Time 5 minutes
Active Time 10 minutes
Total Time 15 minutes
Difficulty Easy
Estimated Cost $3

Materials

  • Winter or holiday themed socks
  • Bottle
  • White spray paint
  • Red or orange paint
  • Black paint

Tools

  • Small paintbrush

Instructions

  1. To get started, you are going to need to spray paint your bottle white. Cover the entire bottle evenly and then wait for it to dry. You do not need to worry about getting the cap or the bottom covered.
  2. After the spray paint has had a chance to dry, you are going to put the “hat” on the snowman. This is one of the two socks you have gathered. Roll up the sock until you get the right height you want, and secure it over the top of the bottle. You should not need to glue it in place; it should stay on fine. But if you wish to glue it, you can.
  3. Next, you are going to put on the snowman’s “coat.” This is simply the other sock you have selected. Again, roll up the sock sufficiently so that there is a gap between it and the hat where you will paint the snowman’s features.
  4. Use the black paint and the small paintbrush to paint on the snowman’s face. I gave mine a cheerful smile. Really take your time with this step so that you can get nice results.
  5. After you have painted on the mouth, paint on the eyes. I suggest that you wait for the mouth to dry before you do this. That way you will not risk smudging it while you are working on the eyes.
  6. Finally, the last step is to paint on the snowman’s carrot nose. Again, wait for the eyes to dry before you do this. Use orange paint or red paint. Once your snowman’s nose dries, he is all ready to display!

Notes

After I finished this project, I was super happy with the result! But I think I might add a step next time if I have some glitter on hand and some adhesive spray. Covering the bottle in glitter after spray-painting it white would give it a snowy sparkle which would further enhance the finished effect. Just an idea to consider!

Let Your DIY Bottle Snowman Spread Holiday Cheer!

You have now successfully made a cute snowman using nothing more than an ordinary bottle and an old pair of socks and a bit of paint!

It really is incredible what you can create when you put your mind to it and learn to think about the most commonplace of objects in different ways.

Once you have created your snowman, you can display him anywhere and he will make for a lovely rustic Christmas decoration.

Try making him some snowman companions out of different sizes and shapes of bottles with a variety of socks.

This can help you to put together a colorful and festive feature to celebrate the season.

After the holidays are over, store your bottle snowmen carefully with extra packing materials so that they do not break in storage.

What is great is that the very socks that you use to create them can help to protect them.

Once you complete this easy holiday crafting project, be sure to take a look at some of the other videos I have been sharing. Hours of crafting fun await you!
