Step 1

Start the project by placing the two strings of LED lights around a small laundry basket (placed upside down), making sure you arrange some of it on the ground in front of the basket. Now, start by making the melting effect on the ground, then start to build the foam up the basket until you reach the top. Once the foam has cured, paint it white to ensure it will not yellowed once outside under the sun.

Step 2

Now, secure the foam ball on top with a generous amount of foam board adhesive, then attach the hat, nose, eyes, and mouth of your snowman. You can also add twigs for the arms and just add more Christmas lights all over the snowman, and you’re done.

Since I lover experiments, I’ve alwaysnloved to create, paint, as well as cook and style food. I feel in love with DIY as soon as I discovered it and could not have been more excited when I learned I could share projects with people around the world. Taking photos is a passion of mine, as is design and painting with oils. I love holidays and celebrations, crafting cute little gifts and serving up at least one new recipe I am excited about.
