DIY Dollar Tree Snowman Ornaments
Like plastic ball snowman ornaments and wine cork snowmen ornaments, these wood block snowman ornaments make a great holiday craft project to make on your own or with the kids.
However, if you will be crafting with the kids, just be sure to assist with the hot glue and scissor steps, or complete those steps yourself.
The adorable snowman ornaments are also a cheap handmade Christmas gift idea. Gift them on their own or use ribbon to attach them to your Christmas gifts to dress up the packages with the cute snowmen ornaments.

Head to your local Dollar Tree and pick up the following items:
- Tumbling Tower game
- plaid scarf
- twine
- small googly eyes

Note: Stock can vary from store to store and not every location may carry all the items. If your location doesn’t have one of the items you may want to visit another nearby store to see if they have it.
You will also need a few items that you likely have in your craft stash:
