It’s FINALLY snowing outside!!!  Here are a couple of fun Snowman Magnet ideas.  They are the perfect winter craft!

Make snowman magnets with white foam circle shapes, buttons, rhinestones, ribbon, nail polish, a 1/2″ Adhesive Craft Magnet Roll, & Glue Dots!

Supplies Needed:

• Foam White Circles (1 1/2, 1 3/4, & 2″)
• 1/2″ Adhesive Craft Magnet Roll
• Buttons
• Mini Glue Dots
• Black Foam Stocking SHAPES
• Black 7mm Rhinestones
• Black 2mm Craft Foam
• White 6mm Craft Foam
• Nail Polish
• Scissors
• Black Ultra Fine Sharpie

Directions for Making Upside Down Snowman Magnet:

1)  Cut a 4″ piece of 1/2″ Adhesive Craft Magnet.

2)  Lay out all 3 sizes of white foam circles (1 1/2, 1 3/4, & 2″).  Slightly overlap the 1 3/4″ circle on the 2″ circle.  Trace overlapped edge.

3)  Cut out traced area.  Then repeat steps 2 & 3 with the 1 1/2″ circle overlapped on the 1 3/4″ circle.

4)  Peel adhesive backing from 4″ Craft Magnet & attach 2″ foam circle at the end.

5)  Continue by adding the 1 3/4″ middle circle and then finally the 1 1/2″ circle on the top.  Place circles close together.  Here is what the front and back should look like.

6)  Now it is time to add the Black Boots.  Simply add a Mini Glue Dot to the top of each boot & attach to the 2″ foam circle.

7)  Use Mini Glue Dots to add Black Buttons.

8)  Cut a small 3/4 x 2 1/2″ piece of 6mm White Craft Foam.  Trim sides and top to look like snow bank.  Attach to top of snowman magnet with Mini Glue Dots.         

9)  Paint Snowman face using Black & Orange Nail Polish.  We found that nail polish worked best and provided a 3D finish.

10)  Last but not least, after nail polish dries, attach a 7″ piece of Red Velvet Ribbon for a scarf with Mini Glue Dots!
