How to Make a Snowman Greeting Card

A homemade snowman greeting card is a great way to say you are looking forward to seeing friends and family over the winter holidays.

A homemade snowman greeting card lets the recipient of the card know that they have a special place in your heart and that you think a great deal about them. But they do not have to be complicated or elaborate to be beautiful and heartfelt. This simple snowman card can be completed in about 10 minutes and lets your friend or family member know that you are thinking of them. Even small children can get in on the fun with this easy craft.

Things You'll Need

• White construction paper
• Colored markers
• Blue construction paper
• White glitter
• Glue
• Gel pens

Instructions

1. Cut out three white paper circles. One should be large, one medium and one small. These will be the head (small) and body (medium and large) of your snowman.

2. Fold the blue construction paper into quarters to make a greeting card. Make the folds sharp and run your finger over them several times to make sure that they are clean and even.

3. Glue the circles onto the paper to form the body of your snowman. The largest should be on the bottom with the medium stacked on top of it. The smallest should be on top.

4. 

   Accessorize your snowman using the colored markers. You can give him black eyes and a coal smile and buttons as well as brown stick arms and an orange carrot nose. You may also wish to draw a top hat or stocking cap on his head.

5. Make glittery dots all over the front of the card using the glue and the glitter. You can make lots of dots with the glue, then sprinkle the glitter over them. The excess glitter will fall off when you shake the card.

6. Write a message on the outside and inside of the card using the gel pens. This type of ink really pops against colored backgrounds and will make your message stand out. Once everything dries, you will be ready to mail your card to whomever you wish.
