Egg Carton Snowman Ornament

Get out the recycling, we have a craft for you today…an Egg Carton Snowman Ornament.

In crafting there are no mistakes just unique creations.

A friend told me that one of their holiday traditions was making a Christmas ornament on Thanksgiving. I really like the idea of everyone coming together, playing some music, and making something together.  

In honor of that, this egg carton snowman would be perfect for most ages and is a great repurpose craft.

Here’s how to get started…
