This simple snowman apron is such a fun Christmas craft that almost any kid should be able to make. Using a simple pre made black or red canvas apron makes this project simple and fun!
You can make this easy snowman apron craft project in about 1 hour or less. You should expect to pay about $5 for a plain red or black canvas apron and about another $5 on materials per apron.
To Make This Simple Snowman Apron You Will Need:
1 plain solid colored apron
Circle stencils in three sizes or 1 large sheet of acetate
Exacto knife
Fabric paint
Stencil paintbrush
Felt square (at least 2 Christmas colors)
Orange felt square
Fabric glue
Scissors
Chalk
Black felt square
Now, the first step is to lay out your solid red, green, or black apron on a work surface.
Now, you can use three circle stencils to create the body of the snowman on the apron. If you can’t find three circles in the correct size, then simple draw out your own snowman shape on a sheet for acetate. Cut it out with an exacto knife.
Lay your stencil on the middle of the apron. I like to hold mine in place with some tape. Now, use your stencil paintbrush to dab on some white fabric paint onto the apron. Cover the body of the snowman. I like to vary the amount that I cover the body of the snowman, this way he has some depth.
Now, let the white paint dry.
While the fabric paint is drying your can work on cutting the details of your Christmas snowman apron out.
Use the orange felt to cut out a carrot nose.
Cut a top hat out of the black felt. Add a band of color with an accent strip of felt.
You can also cut out black coal eyes a buttons with the black felt.
I like o use some wild felt square in a fun pattern to make a great Christmas scarf for the snowman. You can cut out one strip of fabric about 2 feet long and about 4 inches wide.
When you go to glue the scarf on simple placing one end across the neck. Right after it reaches the edge of the snowman neck, then fold the scarf over towards you and let it hang straight down on the Christmas apron. This will make it look like the scarf I wrapped around the snowman’s neck.
Now, take your scissors and make some simple fringe on the end of the crafts that is hanging down.
Now, use your fabric glue to glue on all of the details of the Christmas snowman that you cut out.
You can even use puff paints and fabric paints to add some more details and Christmas accents!
You can use glitter paint to coat the body of the snowman and make the white snow shine.
If your kids are old enough to use a needle try using buttons to make the eyes and mouth on the simple Christmas snowman apron. It will add a three-dimensional look and really look professional.
This simple Christmas craft is a great gift that kids can make for themselves or even parents who love to cook during the holidays!
