Hanging Christmas Winter Snowman Face Wall Hanging

Snowmen aren’t just for the yard — they can brighten up your walls too! This snowman face wall hanging brings frosty cheer indoors, without any melting puddles. Inspired by my gingerbread garland, this version swaps the warm spice tones for snowy whites and adds festive accessories like scarves, top hats, and carrot noses.
This piece makes the perfect front door greeter, kitchen accent, or hallway decoration, and like the gingerbread version, it’s beginner-friendly and quick to make. You can customise each snowman face with different expressions, hat styles, and embellishments so they each have their own personality.

Instructions

Instructions

1. Paint the Coasters

• Lightly sand if needed for better paint adhesion.

• Paint each coaster with white acrylic paint or spray paint for an even finish.

• Apply 2–3 coats for a solid, bright white base, letting each coat dry fully.

2. Paint the Snowman Faces

• Use a black paint pen to add coal-like eyes and a dotted smile.

• Paint a carrot nose in orange, slightly tilted for a whimsical look.

• Dab on pink cheeks using paint or blush powder for a frosty flush.

• Add highlights or shading to the eyes for extra personality.

3. Create the Winter Bows

• Cut your chosen ribbon into equal lengths (about 15cm/6 inches each).

• Tie into bows and secure the centre with hot glue.

• Add a button or snowflake embellishment to the middle.

4. Assemble the Wall Hanging

• Lay your cardboard strip or wide ribbon flat.

• Starting from the top, glue a bow, then a coaster underneath it.

• Repeat for all four faces, spacing evenly so the bows sit between them.

5. Add Hanging Loop and Bottom Accent

• Glue a loop of twine or ribbon to the top for hanging.

• For a cute finish, attach a tassel, jingle bell, or pom-pom to the bottom.

6. Finishing Touches

• Check for stray glue strings and trim them away.

• Touch up paint where needed.

• Hang and admire your row of frosty friends!
