Frosty the Snowman was a jolly, happy soul…Well, as jolly and happy as one can be when someone puts your eyes and nose in the oven! 🙂
Let me back up though. I love snowman. They are my absolute favorite winter creature {yep, even more than Santa!}. So, I started thinking about ways to incorporate more snowmen into our holiday décor without spending a lot of cash.
While at the craft store, I grabbed some glass vases, snow medium, glitter and clay. I painted on the snow medium with a brush.
Then, while it was wet, I sprinkled the glitter all over it {do this over a plate because it is messy!}.
I let it dry for several hours to harden. While it was drying, I formed some eyes, mouths and noses out of my clay.
I put them on a baking sheet and baked them at 275 degrees for about 30 minutes.
Once they were cool and my snow was hardened, I glued the eyes, nose and mouth onto the glass vases.
Then, I hot glued some red felt at the bottom of the vase to mimic a scarf.
In goes a candle for a fun snowman candle holder.

Those are very cute!
I love these! I have never even heard of snow medium before, but now I think I’ll have to get some. 🙂 Does the light from the candle come out through the vases at all or is it just “glowy?”
I love the texture on these! I’d love it if you shared this at my linky party! http://accidentallywonderful.blogspot.com/2012/11/now-co-hosting-inspiration-spotlight.html
