Instructions:

You want to paint all 3 of your small wooden blocks white. You can use any type of craft paint you want, but chalk paint dries quickly and requires only one coat. This way, you can quickly save time and make several ornaments for gifts or a class party.

Once dry, use a low-temperature hot glue gun or other craft glue to attach your wooden blocks together, one on top of the other. This will form the body of your snowman.

Using black craft paint and a thin bristled paintbrush, draw two eyes and a coal mouth onto the top wooden block to form the snowman’s face.

Then paint a carrot nose between the eyes and mouth with the orange craft paint and a thin bristled paintbrush.

Use a hot glue gun to attach three black craft pom poms to your snowman’s second and third blocks. These will serve as his buttons.
