Re-purposed Pumpkin Snowman

You gotta love an easy craft that uses what you already have! Lo and behold, the pumpkin snowman. It's so simple too. I set mine up in front of my tomato cage Christmas trees for a nice little trio on my front porch.

Here's what you need:

  • Two or three leftover pumpkins from Thanksgiving, still in solid condition
  • White spray paint
  • Black paint for eyes, nose, mouth
  • Ribbon or old scarf
  • Old hat


To make the pumpkin snowman:
1) Choose the biggest pumpkin to be the base or body of the snowman. Level off the stem if needed.
2) Paint both pumpkins white. Let dry.
3) Use black paint to add details on the snowman's face.
4) Stack the pumpkins. If they aren't sturdy together, you may need to find some kind of stick or wire to hold them together.
5) Tie the scarf around the snowman's neck and add the hat. Ta-da! You have your never-melting snowman!
