Cute Snowman: Make with Your Cricut Maker

You can make this cute snowman for your Christmas and winter décor in no time at all. What makes this sewing project so simple? The Cricut Maker!

I am actually joining in with 50 bloggers to bring you projects today that come free when you purchase the Maker. These projects are all as simple as pulling them up in Design Space and clicking “Make It”. Then you just follow the instructions for a perfect project that you will be proud to display.

How to make a cute Cricut snowman stuffie

Supplies needed

• Cricut Maker (Want to see the difference between the machines? I compared the Cricut Maker and Explore here.) NOTE:  My recommendation is to use the Maker for all fabric projects including this one.
• Cricut® Iron-on in Pumpkin (I actually used some orange felt with heat n’ bond.)
• Cricut® Iron-on in Black (or black embroidery thread)
• Rotary blade for Cricut Maker
• Quilting cotton in snowflake white
• Quilting cotton in scarf print
• Felt in tan (This needs to be good quality felt or the stiff variety.)
• Felt in black
• Cricut® Washable fabric marker
• Heat N’ Bond iron-on adhesive (use the lite version)
• Iron or heat press and press cloth
• Sewing machine
• Needle and thread
• Batting
• Weights (I used some marbles.)
• Cricut Sewing Kit (optional but oh so handy!)

When you purchase and setup your Cricut Maker, you gain access to 50 free projects. You can actually see all of those by searching “free for Cricut Maker”, as shown below.

This snowman is a part of that bundle so the pattern is completely free. Just search “snowman standing stuffie” and you will find the pattern.

Step 1 – View project supplies and instructions

Click the picture of the snowman and you will be brought to a screen with everything you need to make the project. You will find materials needed and also instructions.

Note: I will give brief instructions below on making this Cricut snowman stuffie, however, you can find detailed instructions with images when you pull up the project in design space.

Step 2 – Sort, prep, and cut supplies

Start by clicking “make it” in design space and pulling up your mats for cutting. Load each mat, blade, and even the washable pen when prompted to cut all of the pieces needed to make this cute snowman.

Project Notes

• Design space will walk you through each mat and you will be left with all of your pieces perfectly cut and ready to make your project.
• Notice that the washable fabric pen makes lines on some of the pieces. It will mark the area so you know where to place your face and it also is marking your seam lines. I love that I know exactly where to sew! You will have to remove those later, however, it is not hard to do.
• Also, note that I applied heat n’ bond to the back of the long scarf piece of the front, the hat band, the hat pieces, the arms, and the nose. It is not required that you use heat n’ bond for fabric when cutting with the Maker so the other pieces can be put directly on the Fabric Mat and cut with the Rotary Blade (both of which may come with the Maker depending on which package you get).

Step 3 – Begin Sewing

Once your pieces are cut, you can begin to sew them together. And yes that is a pin cushion shaped like a Cricut machine! I love my Cricut Sewing Kit and it really is the perfect accessory when making sewing patterns with your Cricut Machine.

Sew the front and back of the snowman together as per the instructions. Then add your face and scarf piece to the front of the snowman with an iron or heat press. You can opt to embroider the face but I love the ease of the iron on. Add the arms as shown below and pin the right sides of your two pieces together to prepare for sewing. Note that the washable fabric pen bled through my thin white cotton. I had to wash it away after completing my project.

You will need to gather the bottom to fit it into place when sewing everything closed. Be sure to follow the instructions carefully in Design Space here. I left my opening for turning on the left side of the snowman. Don’t forget to do this or you will not be able to turn him right side out. I then used hot glue to secure my hat to the top. Note that the pattern calls for regular felt for the arms. I found that the cheap felt did not stand up at all. This version uses a higher quality felt and it did work okay. I think I would use a stiff felt if I was to make this project again. Also note that in the image below I had removed the washable fabric pen with some water.

Step 4 – Add Stuffing to your Cricut Snowman

Then just stuff your Cricut snowman and hand sew your opening closed to complete your project. I used a few marbles in the bottom of my stuffie to help him stand up.

Now, maybe you don’t have a Cricut Maker and this post is making you want one. Check out HSN for Cricut supplies!
