🖌️ How To Make Wooden Slice Snowman Ornaments
- Step 1: The first step to create this super cute Snowman Christmas craft is to paint the base of your wooden slice in the teal paint. You are free to choose another color if you prefer but we chose teal as it gave a great effect. Then, leave your Christmas ornaments to dry for a few minutes. Next, you are ready to paint a snowman onto your wooden slice ornament. Paint a body and a smaller sized head. You can use a paint brush.
- Step 2: If you're making these decorations as Christmas gifts in preschool or kindergarten, you might want to get the kids to use their finger and thumb prints for the snowman's body and head! That would make a more personalized decoration and add a fun sensory play aspect to this kids Christmas craft project. Once again set the wooden slice to the side until the snowman is dry.
- Step 3: After the snowman is completely dry you can use different color pens to add dots for baubles and join these together with your black Posca paint pen. Next, add eyes, a nose, a mouth and a rosy pink cheeks to your snowman. Then add two black buttons. Finally, you can add snow by dropping small white dots onto the background. This is really effective and will make the Christmas Snowman decoration pop!
- Step 4: Finally, you will want to add rustic looking string to your wooden slice so you can hang the decoration at home or on your Christmas tree.

💡 Pro Tip: Let kids hang the ornament for one full minute while observing—this helps reveal balance issues and improves their display judgment.
🧑🎨 Expert Tips
- Loop Positioning: Secure the hanging loop exactly at the top center to help the snowman ornament stay upright and face forward when displayed.
- Weight Balancing: Spread decorations like hats or scarves evenly on both sides so the ornament doesn't lean, spin awkwardly, or hang unevenly.
- Rear Support: Reinforce the loop attachment area on the back using extra glue or paper to prevent detachment after multiple uses or movements.
- Front Orientation: Place all design details cleanly on one face so the snowman appears consistent and doesn’t confuse the viewer when hung.
- Spin Check: Gently swing or rotate the ornament after hanging to see if added weight causes leaning, spinning, or swinging out of place.
- Knot Strength: Use a double knot or wrap the thread securely to prevent slipping, especially when hung on a branch or narrow hook.
