- Gather all supplies. Paint plastic flame of votive with orange craft paint using a paintbrush. Let dry and apply a second coat, if necessary.
- To build the snowman’s face, attach two rhinestones for eyes and five rhinestones for mouth.
- TIP: Substitute small wiggle eyes and a mouth drawn on with a permanent marker if rhinestones are not available.
- Select color combinations and patterns to create the snowman’s scarf with ribbon and earmuffs with pom poms and chenille stems.
- Cut two-inch sections of silver tinsel chenille stem, bend into a “U” shape and glue to sides of votive with glue gun and glue sticks. Attach pom poms over the ends of the chenille stem and a section of ribbon under the snowman’s “chin”. Tie a five-inch length of ribbon with a knot in the center and glue to the bottom of the votive.
- To finish, tie a ten-inch length of silver ribbon into a loop through the chenille stem, using the photo as a guide.
