Have you already taken the Christmas wreath off the front door, but the door now looks kind of bare and boring? Then you can decorate them with a pretty snowman wreath! Snowmen are not a specific Christmas decoration and can decorate the house until the end of winterdecorate the garden. In the article you will find out how to make a snowman for the door and hang it up to decorate the entrance to the house for winter.
Make a snowman for the door from natural materials
You can make your own snowman door decoration using some natural materials and a few simple things from your craft supplies. It's really easier than it seems. Here's everything you need for this craft project:
- 2 grapevine wreaths (purchased or homemade)
- white spray paint
- white ribbon
- Hot glue gun with glue sticks
- white decorations
- Check ribbon or bow
- black foam board (or something similar for the hat)
Directions:
For a winter snowman door decoration, you can use two or three wreaths to create the shape. This is how it works:
1. Cover the work area with cardboard or a tarp to protect it from the paint. Place the wreaths on top and spray them with the white paint. Focus especially on the front and sides as the back will lie flat against the door once hung. You can also color them if you wish.
2. Once the paint has dried, tie both wreaths together with ribbon and hot glue - placing the small one on top of the larger one.
3. Use the hot glue gun to add decorations to the door wreath. Decorative branches, beads and a decorative checked ribbon are perfect for this.
4. Cut a hat out of the black foam board and glue it diagonally to the top wreath. If desired, you can further decorate the hat with a ribbon or a small green sprig.
5. Attach a door hook to the door and hang the snowman door wreath.
Tie your own wreaths and make the snowman door decorations
A thick oneGrape vine wreathTying them is not that easy, so using ready-made wreaths is often preferred. If you still want to make the door decoration yourself right from the start, you can try this simpler version. The following materials and tools are required:
- several thin branches that can be easily bent (e.g. from mulberries)
- old fabric for the scarf
- Fabric scissors
- white spray paint
- 6 large black buttons
- cord
- Hot glue
- fresh cedar green
- Blumendraht
- Wire cutters
1. Take four long vines together with the thicker ends and bend them into a large circle shape. Wrap floral wire around the branches to secure the circular shape. Then make two more wreaths – either the same size or a little smaller.
2. Spray the wreath blanks with white paint and let them dry completely.
3. In the meantime, make the buttons. Cut three pieces of string 50cm long and glue the buttons to the ends of each string as shown in the picture.
4. Cut a piece of fabric about 12cm wide and 60cm long. You can also use a piece of wide ribbon or a real scarf.
5. Once the wreaths are dry, begin assembling the individual pieces by securing them with floral wire.
6. Tie the top two wreaths together using the button strings so that the button pairs hang on top of each other.
7. Tie the “scarf” loosely around the snowman’s neck and decorate the top and bottom wreaths with a sprig of cedar greenery secured with floral wire.
DIY snowman for the door made of embroidery frame
If you want to make a snowman for the door, you can also use two or three embroidery hoops of different sizes. We will now show you how you can make this atmospheric decoration yourself.
Necessary materials:
This is what you need for the winter door decoration: 2 different sized embroidery frames, felt in white, black, orange and any color for the scarf, hot glue, scissors and 1-2 cable ties.
Directions:
1. Place the white felt into the embroidery hoops and tighten them tightly. Trim the edges of the felt slightly and then hot glue them to the inside of the embroidery hoops.
2. Tie the tops of the frames together with a cable tie. Make sure the cable tie is really tight so that the embroidery hoops don't move. The scarf will cover them.
3. Cut a simple felt scarf in a desired color and add some fringe. Attach the scarf to the snowman with hot glue to keep it from flying away, especially if you hang it outside the front door.
4. Cut out a few black circles for the eyes and mouth and an orange triangle for the carrot nose. Then cut a top hat out of the black felt, attach everything with some hot glue and the decoration is ready to hang on the door.
