You’ll love these rustic DIY Wood Snowman Hat Ornaments for your Christmas tree or place on wrapped presents. With just a few inexpensive materials – you can create these statement-making ornaments!

Snowman Hat Homemade Christmas Ornaments

Our family has so much fun making DIY Christmas ornaments every year in the weeks leading up to Christmas.

And it would not be the Holiday season without a few homemade ornaments.

What I absolutely love most about this craft is you can either pick everything up from your local Dollar Store… or upcycle your old Jenga set.

Which may be missing a few wooden pieces.

These wooden snowman hat ornaments would be a cute addition to the decoration for DIY gifts like a plate of Homemade Fudge or a jar of this brown sugar facial scrub, too.

You can also tie them onto presents for under the tree by looping your gift ribbon through the twine and tying a bow with the ribbon.

These ornaments are so cute. I can’t get enough of them!

Materials Needed to Make – Pick up at your local Dollar Tree

• Blocks from Tumbling Tower Game (Dollar Tree) or an old Jenga game
• Twine (Dollar Tree)
• Fake pine Christmas garland (Dollar Tree)
• Red vase filler (Dollar Tree)
• Eye hooks (hardware store)
• Wood glue
• Black craft paint
• Tacky glue
• Scissors
• 1-inch paint brush
• Small paint brush
• Toothpick

Please Note: Stock can vary from store to store and not every location may carry all the items. If your location doesn’t have one of the items you may want to visit another nearby store to see if they have it. Which is what I did!

How to Make your Snowman Ornaments

After gathering all of your supplies, the first thing we need to do is glue our pieces of wood together.

So, using the wood glue and a small paintbrush, apply glue to the side of a block, place another side of a block against it, then hold it together for about 30 seconds, until secured with glue.

Then apply glue to the middle of another side of a block, and place it against the bottom of the two blocks that you glued together in the previous step.

Hold together for about 30 seconds until secured with glue. Set down to allow the glue to completely dry.

Next, using your 1-inch paintbrush, paint the entire surface (front, back, and sides) of the glued blocks. Set aside to dry.

If in a well-ventilated area and with a small fan going your wait time for drying should not be longer than 30 minutes.

Depending on how many ornaments you want to make you can cut all your twine at once helping the process along. Like an assembly line.

You will need two pieces of twine per ornament and cut into 7” lengths.

Using the toothpick, add a small amount of tacky glue to one side of the “hat”, where the 3 blocks meet.

Set one end of the twine on top of the glue, at the very edge where all 3 blocks meet.

Wrap the twine around twice, until the other end meets the end you just glued. Hold in place until secure.

Cut a 1-inch piece off the garland.

Using the tacky glue and toothpick, apply some glue to the corner of the front of the hat, above the twine.

Creating your holly sprig

After your glue is ready, press your piece of garland and hold until secure for about 30 seconds.

Depending on your glue it may take a little longer.

Now use the toothpick to apply a dab of glue to a red vase filler, then stick it to the garland, twine.

You will do 3 of these, one on top, then two on the bottom, to form “holly”.

Then again, set aside to allow all glue to completely dry.

Adding the finishing touches

Lastly, screw an eye hook into the center of the top of the hat.

Wrap a piece of twine through the eye hook, then tie the ends together.

Fun additional embellishment items to customize your ornaments

• To make your hats look more rustic by using a heat gun to darken the wood. If you do this step, I would skip out on painting your hats black.
• You can even customize by painting your hats red or green. To look like a Santa Hat.
• Add small white pom-poms across the base of your hat to make it look like a traditional Santa hat instead of a snowman hat.
• Or add texture by using a variety of different Christmas-themed greens.

Other ways to use these Wreath Christmas Ornaments

• Give them as a gift. (Holiday ornament exchange idea)
• These adorable wreath ornaments make stunning package toppers. 
• Make a garland string to hang on a mirror or your fireplace mantel.
