“Light Up Snowman Magnets” #TBCCrafters Hop
I made these “Light Up Snowman Magnets” this week, after seeing something like it around the time of Halloween, and thought I would change it up for Christmas. These are great for the fridge, giving as gifts, etc. Very easy to make, perfect for having the kids help you, and a great way to use up extra supplies in the craft room, etc. We finally got a little bit of snow last week, so if we don’t get more, I’ll just have to attach these outside somewhere to make us feel like we made a snowman one time this winter – crazy weather!
I hope you like it!! Have a blessed day, and please be sure to comment on and share this #TBCCrafters craft!!
“Light Up Snowman Magnets” Craft
Materials/Tools Used:
- Battery Powered Tea Light Candles
- Adhesive Gem/Jewel Dots
- Scrap Fabric
- Mini Pom Poms
- Scissors
- Glue Gun
- Round Magnets
- & Time!
Instructions:
Start by using some jewel dots to create the eyes on the candle.
Next, create a “mouth” with more of the dots.
When that is done, you can start creating the hat. Using some scrap fabric, make a “Pac Man” shape to use to create the base.
Fold it into a cone and using your glue gun, adhere the edge to seal it.
Next I glued a small pom pom for the top and used some ribbon for the brim.
When that is complete, and dry, put a couple of dots of glue at the edge and adhere it to the top of the candle.
When all of that is done, you can glue a round magnet to the back (make sure not to glue it over the battery area, if you wish to replace those in the future).
Now you can attach it to your fridge, give it as a gift or display it wherever you wish to have a little snowman keeping his “nose” in things! 🙂
Hope you like it! Please take a minute to leave me a comment and let me know what you would do different, or what you would add, etc. Be sure to tweet, pin, share, etc. – thanks!!

This would be a great project for my son’s class! I’ll have to remember it for our next class party.
They are definitely easy to make! Just be careful with the magnets around kids. 🙂

Thanks Lorelai!
Adorable idea! I know I must have some of those lights left over from Halloween (I use those for my kids’ pumpkins). My daughter, with her Olaf obsession, would LOVE these!
We always seem to have extra ones laying around somewhere! 🙂
