Velum Snowman Luminaries

Aren't these cute little snowmen luminaries? 

I had a customer email me asking for a simple 

holiday inexpensive kids craft so I came up with these little guys. 

You can make two of them using one sheet of cardstock weight

velum that is cut 4 1/4 x 11

I added the face using a black marker. For the nose I used Pumpkin Pie

blendibilities, but you could also use a regular marker. 

After the face was completed I formed the cardstock into a tube and 

 

used a mini staples to hold it in place. You could also 

 

use double stick tape, but I think the staples holds it together just as 

 

well and staples are less expensive. 

 

I used burlap ribbon around the base of one, again I just

 

used the mini staples to attach it. 

 

For the other snowman I glued snowflake and silver sequins around the top. 

 

Tombo liquid glue works great. I even added some snowflakes for the cheeks. 

 

 

 

Here you can see the battery operated candle shining through the

 

velum. 

I think these would be a fun little project for kids to make.

Fun for adults too!
