Wrapping Paper Roll Snowman Candles

By

I’m tossing a few glittery snowflakes into the air today and am excited to officially kick off the Christmas season at Little Miss Celebration! It was my family calling me “Little Miss Christmas” that became the inspiration for the blog name. I am crazy about Christmas! I absolutely love snowmen and have collected, hmm, kind of a lot over the years! For our first Christmas project of the season, it had to be a snowman – big, happy Wrapping Paper Roll Snowman Candles to bring a little light and a lot of seasonal cheer! These cost hardly anything to make for a lot of charming impact!

The Halloween Toilet Paper Roll Candles were my inspiration – they were so much fun to make. We’re going a little bigger this time – snowmen with presence! This time, I used a roll from (Christmas) wrapping paper, along with the battery operated tea lights. It’s totally ok to swipe out the cardboard tube from a roll of wrapping paper! Each snowman candle is 12” tall, so I measured from each end of the wrapping paper roll and cut two 12” tubes. I cut the rolls and taped them to fit around the tea lights so that the lights can be removed and turned on/off.

Each roll was covered in thick, white wool felt. The hats were made by first cutting a 3” wide piece of black felt and gluing around the top of the tube. Next, I cut 4-1/2” circles from black felt for the brims. I cut another circle in the center, just large enough so that the brim will slide over the tube and hold without glue. The center circle is a bit less than 2”. Now we have the hats!

After debating with myself for way longer then made any sense (I get like that a lot!) I decided to use goggle eyes. I made some black felt eyebrows. Now, what to do for the nose instead of a carrot? I looked into this container of holiday buttons I bought last year and it hit me! An orange Christmas bulb button would make a perfect nose!! I made a small slit in the felt and punched a tiny hole in the cardboard tube where I wanted to place the nose. A little hot glue and we have a holiday snowman nose! A little bit of pink chalk and he’s got some rosy, winter cheeks!

Look at that face! This has to make you smile back!

The snowmen have to be decked out for the holiday! I made big bowties out of red and white striped, wired ribbon and attached with hot glue. For a little dash of style, I used patterned black and white buttons below the bow ties. To give their hats the final holiday touch, I added a few springs of evergreen and a red berry. Pop in the candles and these happy, frosty friends are ready to light up for the Christmas season.

I absolutely LOVE these guys! What do you think? They are so totally adorable and I can’t wait to add them to my snowman table! Who else is a snowman lover? I have another cute snowman project in the works! Great thing about snowmen – we can use them all winter long! Hopefully, you can see the little tea lights on here – it doesn’t look like their hats are on fire, does it? 😉

  10. Cindy, I just saw your snowmen on Pinterest and was thinking how absolutely adorable they are! Of course, you always share the coolest things on your blog. I really loved your Vintage Christmas cards, too.

    Christmas is my very favorite holiday. Looking forward to seeing all your wonderful Christmas posts!

    • Alli, thank you so much! I could totally see myself as an elf, lol! Christmas is my favorite, too, and I’m super excited about seeing all of the wonderful projects and recipes from all my fantastic blogging friends. Thank you so much for your sweet visit and comment, it is so meaningful to me! Have a happy Tuesday!

    • Hi Ciara – oh, you are too kind, thank you!!! I’m glad that you like these little snowmen, they are just full of happiness! 🙂 Thank you so much for visiting and please have a happy Tuesday!

    • Hi Angie! Oh, thank you so much! I love snowmen, too – probably to much, they’re going to need their own house soon – probably an igloo! 🙂 Thank you so much for your visit and have a wonderful Tuesday!

    • Doreen, you always make me smile! Thank you! These guys ARE kind of cute, aren’t they? See, I’m secretly hoping there really IS a North Pole and they’ll ask me to come be an elf and make Christmas crafts all year! (A girl can dream, lol) Thank you so much for your sweet comments, always! Have a happy Tuesday!

    • Hi Britni! Thank you so much and of course you can share them – I would be totally honored! 🙂 Thank you for including them in your round-up! Have a happy Tuesday!

    • Hi Meredith! I am SO sorry for the late response, somehow your sweet comment got lost in my shuffle! They DO have little personalities! So sweet of you to visit and pin, thank you!!! Hope you are having a wonderful week and best wishes for a happy and blessed Thanksgiving!

  18. These are so stinking cute, Cindy!! Planning to make them with my boys! And there doesn’t need to be a base on there, I’m thinking by the time my boys crush the bottom a couple of time our’s may be wobbly… let me know if you suggest something. Pinned and planning…

    • Thanks, Paula – I’m so happy that you want to make these! You could definitely add a base to these – I would cover either a piece of wood or thick chipboard with white felt and attach the snowman to the base. You could even puddle the felt around the bottom so it looks as though he’s in a pile of snow! 🙂 What do you think?

    • Oh, thanks Joan, you are so kind! I have always had the blessing (and the curse, according to hubby, lol) of a very over-active imagination! Thank you so much your visit and the pin! Hope you have a great day!

  20. These are so darn cute. My little Valerie would put these by her bedside. Right now she has an ottoman and put it next to her bed (yes she stole my new teal one) and she put Sylvia’s cat bed on it and set 2 of these no flame candles on it. Sylvia seems to enjoy every minute of it 🙂 Pinning!

    • Hi Julie – thank you so much! Well, the ottoman didn’t last too long in the livingroom! 🙂 (I would have stolen it, too!) Thank you so much for visiting and for the pin! Hope you are having a happy week!

    • Hi Marie! It’s so great to meet you and thank you so much for your kind visit and comment – so sweet of you to visit from Christina’s party! I will be visiting you soon – hope you have a wonderful Friday and a happy weekend!

  22. Hi Cindy – The most biggest and sincere compliment to you… these snowmen aren’t “my thing” per say… but OMG they are the absolute cutest things ever and every time I saw them at a linky party this week, they brought a big ole smile to my face. Thank you my friend, your snowman smiles are much appreciated! Hugs, Holly

    • Thanks, Holly – that is so sweet! I’m glad they brought you a smile. 🙂 Hope you have a happy Sunday and a wonderful week! Hugs!

  24. I think I do love snowmen, almost as much as you do but I’m getting there. These are so darned adorable, I just might take a shot at making at least one. Then I’d love to get some of the snowmen paper mache boxes to decorate from your other post. You’ve got me going girl. Super great post. Keep on such great crafting. Love your blog and your sweet sincere smile. Happy weekend Happy holiday season

    • Hi Jane Ellen! I’m so happy that I’m inspiring you to make some of your own snowmen! They are just happy little guys, aren’t they? Thank you so much for your kind visit and hope you are having a happy and merry weekend! 🙂
