Ingredients
  

Materials

  • 1 jar Clean glass mason jar (any size)
  • 1 bottle White acrylic paint
  • 1 brush Paintbrush
  • 1 sheet Black felt or construction paper (for eyes and mouth)
  • 1 sheet Orange felt or construction paper (for carrot nose)
  • 1 roll Twine or ribbon (for scarf)
  • 1 candle LED tealight candle
  • to taste sprinkle Glitter (optional)
  • 1 gun Hot glue gun and glue sticks
  • 1 pair Scissors

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Clean the mason jar, ensuring it is free from any labels or residue.
  • Using a paintbrush, carefully apply white acrylic paint to the inside of the jar to create a snowy effect.

Decorate the Snowman Face

  • Cut out two circles from the black felt for the eyes and small shapes for the mouth.
  • Cut a triangle from the orange felt for the nose.
  • Use the hot glue gun to attach the eyes, mouth, and carrot nose to the outside of the jar.

Add Accessories

  • Cut a strip of twine or ribbon and wrap it around the jar's neck for a cozy scarf look. Secure with a dot of hot glue.

Insert the Candle

  • Carefully set an LED tealight candle inside the jar to create the glowing effect.

Finishing Touches

  • For a bit of sparkle, sprinkle some glitter inside before placing the LED candle in or on the edge of the jar.

Notes

Customize the face; use buttons or paint them directly. Swap materials and use a clear glass vase for a different shape. Add a small top hat for an added touch of personality. Use colored spray paint for a unique snowy effect.
