Gather all supplies. Basecoat the bottom half of the glass vase with white multi-surface acrylic craft paint. Let dry and apply a second coat, if necessary.

Download, print, and cut out the Vase Snowman pattern. Trace the hat brim pattern onto black craft felt with a white pencil, and then cut out with scissors. Dry fit the felt hat brim onto the vase and draw a line around the vase.

STEP THREE

Basecoat from the pencil line up to the top of the vase with black multi-surface acrylic craft paint. Let dry and apply a second coat, if necessary.

STEP FOUR

Carefully fit the black felt hat brim onto the vase and secure with a glue gun and glue sticks.

STEP FIVE

Attach the blue and white gingham ribbon around the base of the Snowman’s hat, securing with glue. Tie the ribbon into a loose knot, and then trim the ends by cutting out a notch with scissors. Attach the ribbon accent to the hat band with a glue gun and glue sticks.

To create the carrot nose, cut a triangle from orange craft felt. Attach two black buttons and the carrot nose for the snowman face. Attach six self-adhesive black rhinestones to create the snowman’s mouth.
