Christmas Decoration Crafts For Kids – Button Snowman Decoration

Button Snowman Decoration Items

What you’ll need:-

  • White and Black Buttons
  • Bostik White Glu
  • Pipecleaners
  • Ribbon or other pipcleaner
  • Scissors

Add buttons to pipecleaner

Step 1

Start by threading your buttons onto the pipecleaner. You want to leave a bit at the bottom so they don’t fall off.

Add snowman Body

Step 2

The larger ones should be in the middle of this section. This is to make the body of the snowman.

Add snowman head

Step 3

Leave a small gap and start adding your snowman head.

Add complete snowman

Step 4

Your completed snowman body will look something like this.

Add Snowman Hat

Step 5

Next, you want to add the snowman hat. We used three black buttons, the large one at the bottom and two smaller ones.

Add scarf

Step 6

Through the gap in the middle you want to add a snowman scarf. Initially we used a bit of ribbon, but it didn’t sit as well. So, we cut a sparkly pipecleaner and used that.

Tie Scarf

Step 7

It looks a much better size and fits well.

Tie Base

Step 8

Next, you want to tie a knot in the bottom of the pipecleaner so the buttons don’t fall off.

Cut the bottom part off to neaten it up.

Using the top part of the pipecleaner, hook around and twist to make a hook.

    I love that angel – so very simple and you don’t need 48 hands to hold it while you glue it together 🙂
