Recycled Can Lid Snowman Ornament

Creating a Recycled Can Lid Snowman Ornament is not only a fun craft project but also a great way to upcycle materials. You have a unique and eco-friendly ornament ready to bring some cheer to your holiday décor.

Needed:

• (3) 2″ can lids – I used small tomato paste can lids, removed with Safety Smooth Edge Can Opener
• black felt cut in a hat shape
• ribbon scraps for scarf and hat decoration
• small buttons
• Sharpie markers
• craft wire – I used 20 gauge
• small sticks for arms
• hammer & nail
• wire cutter or needle-nose pliers
• hot glue gun

Directions:

1. Wash can lids.
2. Tap holes in lids for wiring with a hammer and nail. Top lid will have two holds to attach wire. Middle lid, top & bottom, bottom lid, hole on top.
3. Wire lids together with small lengths of wire. Clip ends and twist in so they are not poking out or sharp.
4. Draw face on snowman as desired.
5. Glue on buttons.
6. Cut hat shape and glue on. Decorate as desired.
7. Glue stick arms on.
8. Tie on ribbon scarf. Secure with hot glue if needed.
