Sweet and Frosty {DIY Snowman Can}

Here is a simple, yet fun DIY project... and it's perfectly Wintery!  Grab these few supplies:  soup cans (or any can in the shapes and sizes of your choice), white, black and orange paint -- and your stash of paint brushes.


There isn't any step by step pictures because it's pretty self explanatory.  Paint the can white.  I guess you could spray paint it, but I chose to paint the can by brush/sponge with the basic acrylic paint.  Once that is done and dry, you can paint your snowman's face on free hand.  No stencils or patterns are necessary.  Sometimes toothpicks can come in very handy when painting those small 'coal' dots.  Once you've completed these steps -- you're done!  Fill with candy canes... or any of your favorite sweet treats.  Personally, but I'm in love with the candy cane hairdo {giggle}. Isn't it the cutest?  And super duper festive?


It's such a fun time of the year!!  What are you busy crafting?

So cute and simple but I know, surely, my carrot nose will not come out like that. Not with my paint talents - no way, no how! Great job!

Great work! I think these would be great gifts for the secretaries at work! Certainly would brighten up their desks in a very fun way. Oh and teachers, dispatchers, clerks... on and on!

So cute, simple and inexpensive, so a great project to do. I'm not very good at free hand, I think it's because I have one of the worse handwriting in the world. People complain about it forever. But I'll give it a try. Cause who will see but me! Thanks for sharing over at Sunday's Best. Now following you, hope you follow back! Love how you list the linky parties you join in with.
