Snowman Gift Tags

I love snowmen.  I have a huge collection of snowmen and always make lots of snowman-inspired crafts before Christmas.  This year, I started off my holiday crafting with snowman gift tags. Aren't they cute?  Other than a lot of drying time, they are very easy to make. Affiliate links below. 



Snowman Gift Tags


Materials:


Steps: 


Color the top third of each tag to make the snowmen's hats.  No need to do a good job, as you're just providing a base color for the Stickles. 


Paint a layer of Stickles over the ink. Use the black Enamel Accents to create the snowmen's faces, being careful not to touch the wet Stickles. Set the tags aside to dry.

In the meantime, cut triangle noses from orange cardstock. Apply a layer of orange Stickles and set aside to dry.

When the tags and noses are dry to the touch, use Pop Dots to put the noses in place. 

Apply Snow-Tex (a textured paint that looks like faux snow) to the edges of the hats. Set the tags aside until they are completely dry.

Add cording and attach to a gift. All done and super cute!

  1. Goodness Cindy this is sooooo cool! I have never heard of decorative snow or the black enamel stuff. MORE craft stuff I MUST have! LOL I would be curious to know what else the snow can be used for?

  2. Kelly, I've used Decorative Snow mainly for ceramics (adding snow to rooftops, trimming Santa's hat, etc), but it's come in handy for all sorts of other stuff. It's definitely a must-have and a little goes a long way.

    The Enamel Accents is fairly new to me. This was one of the first experiments I did with it!

You are very,very creative and I have bookmarked your website. I will appreciative your reply.

  9. Thanks Cindy, I only need about 10 tags. Is it possible you could make them for me and mail them to me? I was a first grade teacher for a number of years and am now retired. I enjoy crafts and will check your website very often. The supplies would be expensive and I would be happy to pay you including shipping of course.
