What do you get when you match a snowman with little chocolate candies....... a very inexpensive Christmas gift or party favor. We're making ours for my daughter's friends. Each little snowman cost under $5! Here are the super simple instructions:
You'll need a clear glass vessel. We used a votive holder. I liked the rounded shape because a snowman's head must be round!
For the snowman's face, I used decorative stickers from Vinyl Words. You could also use paint or you could glue on buttons.
If you're using the vinyl stickers, rub the back of them with something hard and flat. Even a spatula would work.
Peel off the backing.
Press the sticker onto the votive.
Peel the paper off of the sticker. Be careful that the sticker stays stuck to the glass. If it starts to come off with the paper, press it down again and rub something hard and flat on it.
Once the paper is completely off, press the sticker with your fingers making sure to take out any bubbles. This is what your snowman face should look like.
Next you'll need some white candy. I found this candy at Crafts Direct in St. Cloud but any little white candy would work.
Fill the votive with the white candy and now you have a snowman.
By using ribbon and a little plastic bags........
You can turn the little votive into a cute gift!
