These easy Snowman Sunglasses are a fun Dollar Tree DIY that can be made in an hour or less.
You can use either sunglasses or regular glasses to make this winter craft. Whether you have glasses with thick frames or wire rims, any pair of eye glasses will work for this snowman craft.
While we purchased new glasses at a dollar store, this would be a great memory craft, too.
Decorate an old pair of glasses from a loved one and make a snowman that you can display in the winter or on a Christmas tree.
Some of the same supplies are used to make our melting snowman craft, Boho-inspired rope snowman, and gift box snowmen trio, too. You can easily get all materials at once for a snowman crafting afternoon!
How to Make Snowman Glasses
We bought most of these supplies at the Dollar Tree.
Supplies
- Glasses or Sunglasses
- 2 Pom Poms
- 2 Black Buttons
- Chenille Stem
- Plaid Fabric (approximately 2″ X 8″)
- Orange Craft Felt (craft foam would also work)
- Acrylic Craft Paint (White, Black, Pink)
- Hot Glue Gun
- Paintbrush
- Scissors
Directions
Step 1
Paint the lenses of the glasses with white acrylic craft paint. Allow the paint to dry.
Paint a second and third coat of the white craft paint to completely cover the lenses. Let dry between coats.
Step 2
Cut out a carrot shape from the orange craft felt.
Step 3
Glue the carrot nose to the middle of one of the lenses.
Add two eyes and a mouth with the black acrylic craft paint using small circles.
Using the pink acrylic paint, add one round cheek blush circle next to the orange carrot nose.
Allow to dry.
After the black eyes have dried, go back in and add a white highlight to each eye at the top of the black circle.
Step 4
Cut two fabric strips that are 1 inch X 8 inches long. If you would like a frayed edge on the fabric scarf, you will need to tear the fabric into strips.
Tie the fabric around the snowman’s neck and secure with a drop of hot glue.
Step 5
Cut a 6” length of chenille stem and hot glue to both sides of the snowman’s head on the sides of the sunglasses frame.
Glue a pom pom to the right and left sides of the snowman’s head and cover the bottom edge of the chenille stem.
Then glue 2 small black buttons to the middle of the snowman’s body, which is the other sunglass lens.

How does it stand upright?

You would need to put it on a stand or glue it to a stand to have it stand upright. I have it propped up in front of a plant. You could also tie a string around one of the arms to hang it.
