Upcycled Pan Lid Snowman
15 December
Today is a fun day for me... I'm actually making something I've pinned!!
I'm a Pinterest addict but in reality, I pin lots of things with intentions of creating my own version but does it actually happen?? Well... not so much... aside from recipes.
But I joined a "new-to-me" group of talented bloggers called the Pinterest Challenge Group and I'm excited because this is my first month participating!!
Upcycled Pan Lid Snowman
It's time for the December Pin Challenge! The purpose of the Pinterest Challenge is to motivate us to not just pin, but to make it happen! This month's challenge is all about New Year or winter projects. The pin I chose is an adorable snowman made from a pan lid!!
I picked up these are two pan lids from a garage sale free box this summer! This isn't a true before shot though because I had already painted the one lid white.
Supplies Needed
- Old metal pan lid
- White spray paint
- Crop-a-dile (to punch the hole in the lid)
- Craft paints in black, orange, and white
- Decorating Chalks (optional)
- Ribbon
- Mini garland
- E-6000 glue
- Clear spray sealer
Now, lightly draw on a snowman face to your liking. Begin painting the eyes and mouth with black craft paint (you could do a traditional snowman mouth with dots of paint to make it a little easier).
Add some eyebrows and eyelashes too. You can use a fine-point Sharpie marker instead of a paintbrush if your hands are not that steady.
Add cheeks with a scruffy paintbrush and decorating chalks.
Once it has dried spray it with a coat of clear sealer (this is especially important if you'll be hanging yours outside).
In the inspiration picture I chose, they painted on a little garland crown. I decided to use some mini garland I had instead.
I also added a few snowflakes that I cut from this package trim ribbon.
