Welcome to Day 1 of our 2nd Annual Manda Panda Countdown to Craftmas! 24 days of Christmas Crafty inspo from 12/1-12/24.

As I am writing this, we are in the midst of our 3rd year (2023), but I am just now going back and getting my faves from last year and the year before up on the blog (2021 & 2022).

To make things easier to find this year, I am linking each day in a blog post so that we have all 24 days in one place. So make sure to check out the 2023 Countdown to Craftmas post daily so that you don’t miss a thing!

If you don’t have a set of these blocks from Dollar Tree, you can totally use the foam dice that you get there. In fact, we made a Foam Dice Snowman last year that came out just as cute, he’s just a TAD bigger than this guy.

How to Make a Dollar Tree Wood Block Snowman

I made this Dollar Tree Wood Block Snowman on video. So you can WATCH the tutorial by clicking below.

Start by gluing the wood blocks together, with the middle block a little off center to give it a wonky look. Then paint the entire stack all white, and grunge up the edges with Antique wax. Now we have the base of our snowman body!

For his face, I kept it super simple but super cute with 2 small oval eyes leaning into each other with a with small white line. Use a dry brush technique for pink rosy cheeks, and a small paint brush to brush on the carrot nose.

For the mouth I used a fine tip sharpie to draw the curvy line, with smile lines on each end.

Glue on 2 buttons to the bottom 2 blocks.

Rip a small strip of fabric and tie it around the snowman’s “neck” as the scarf.

I added a mini “Joy” ornament around the neck with the scarf for extra decoration.

For his hat, I used a mini Buffalo Check top hat ornament clip and just took the clip off of the bottom.

And here he is all finished and on my tiered tray! So easy, and so darn cute.

How darn cute does he look on my Tiered Tray with that Retro Santa Frame?
