Coffee Can Snowman

Save those empty coffee cans, because once you see this DIY Coffee Can Snowman you’ll want to craft a whole bunch of them! This easy, cute, and budget friendly recycled craft can be kept up past Christmas and right through winter! Are you Feeling Frosty?!

Coffee can snowman made with a recycled coffee can, rusty wire, red pom pom ear muffs, a hand painted face, snowflakes and a hangtag that says "Feeling frosty" for DIY christmas and winter crafts and decor.

We make some cutie baTOOTie crafts in my private VIP subscription group, The CRafterparty, and this Coffee Can Snowman is just one of them!

Even if you’re not a coffee drinker, you’re gonna wish you were after seeing this budget-friendly adorable DIY recycled can snowman. I bet you even go out and buy a can of coffee JUST to make this!

I just love making snowmen because they aren’t just Christmas crafts, they can be kept out alllllll through Christmas and winter so you get more bang for your buck.

I’ve made Foam Dice Snowmen, Rustic Wood Round Snowmen, and Stacked Wooden Snowmen. But this is my first time making a Coffee Can Snowman!

I don’t think I am that great at hand painting anything, especially faces. But with the techniques I teach in The CRafterparty, I make it super easy for ANYONE to do, and break it down step by step.

Of course I had to add some cute extra details like this “Feeling Frosty” kraft paper hang tag and snowflake.

A kraft paper hangtag that says "feeling frosty" tied to the wire with a snowy white snowflake.

You could definitely buy large pom poms, but we made our own using yarn and a pom pom maker! You can use cardboard to make your own pom poms too, super easy.

All together I think this Coffee Can Snowman is fabulous, and to think that I was going to through that coffee can out!
