Jenga Snowman Ornament

Homemade – Repurposed Jenga Snowman Ornament

A snowman is the perfect man: He’s well rounded and comes with his own broom.

I love me a man filled with snow! 

You can see the love of snowmen here, here, and here.

And as much as I love a snowman, I love a good upcycle even more.

These repurposed Jenga snowman ornaments are great for when you are missing pieces or want to reuse a yard sale find (or the dollar store).

Snow…let’s get started:

JENGA SNOWMAN ORNAMENT INSTRUCTIONS

1. Paint the game blocks white, one per snowman, let dry. Repeat until covered, as needed.
2. Screw in an eyelet to the top of each snowman and tie with twine for the hanger.
3. Use a sharpie marker and color in a small section at the top for the hat, add tiny dots for the eyes, mouth, and buttons.
4. Paint a tiny carrot nose. Tip: use the end of a very thin paintbrush dipped in the rust/orange colored paint to create the nose.
5. Cut thin strips of buffalo check or other scrap fabric for the scarf. Place a small amount of hot glue to secure the scarf in place.
6. Break the grapevine into small twigs and glue one on each side to represent snowman arms.

Life really is like the game of Jenga: a tower built with pieces that can uplift or break down. The pieces are in constant motion and the tower is in a constant state of change… The important thing is to pick up (those) fallen pieces and find a new way to fit them together that doesn’t compromise the strength and integrity of the tower. Every tower has weak spots, it’s how we protect and care for those spots that will ensure its future stability. – Thefeed@blackchildren
