Craft Project: Snowman Jar Lamp

This is a cool Snowman version of those Pumpkin Jars we made at Halloween. I made two versions, one with a top hat and one with a stocking hat.

For this project you will need a clean jar with a lid, white paint, electrical tape, masking tape, orange Sharpie (optional black Sharpie), empty thread spool, scrap of fabric, and an old sock.

First, paint the inside of the jar white.

For the top hat version, cover the lid and spool with electrical
tape, and glue the spool to the center of the lid.

For the stocking hat version, cut a sock just above the heel.
Discard the toe section and tie a small hair scrunchie on the
cut end of the other section.

To make your snowman eyes and mouth,
cut circles from the electrical tape and place
them on the outside of the jar. For the carrot
nose, color a piece of masking tape with the
orange Sharpie and cut into a triangle.
Another option would be to use Sharpies
to draw the eyes, nose, and mouth,

Cut a strip of fabric to make a scarf. I also
cut a little fringe into each end.

When the paint is dry, add the lid top hat...

... or the stocking hat.

Then place a battery tea light inside to make him glow. He's very cute... you don't need snow and you don't have to put on lots of clothes before you make him, and he won't melt.

Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death. Romans 8:1-2
