Step 1: Paint Wooden Panel

First, start by painting your wooden panel with a few coats of beige paint (really, any good neutral color works well for this step). When you finish painting, set the panel aside and allow it to dry completely.

Step 2: Arrange The Burlap

Next, cut your burlap to just a tad smaller than the size of the front of your wooden panel. Then lay the burlap over the printed winter snowman template you can get from the form above.

Step 3: Paint Your Winter Snowman

It’s finally time to paint your snowman! I always start by tracing the template, focusing on the arms, hat, and the dotted line that leads from the snowman to the hat.

Step 4: Glue Edges

Once I have my basic snowman painted on the burlap, I remove the paper print-out template and prepare to attach the burlap to the wooden panel. It’s important to ensure your wooden panel is fully dry before this step — when it is, you’ll simply add tacky glue around the edges.

Step 5: Attach Burlap To The Wooden Panel

Then lay your burlap on top! I always move my burlap around a bit to get it centered just right on the wooden panel.

Step 6: Personalize Your Winter Snowman

Now it’s time to continue the painting fun! Continue to decorate and customize your winter snowman to your heart’s desire!

PRO TIPS:

• Use the “wrong end” of the paintbrush to add eyes and buttons to your winter snowman.
• Cut a scrap piece of felt into a scarf piece and hat band, then secure it into place with hot glue or tacky glue.

Step 7: Add A Border

I still felt that this piece needed a little something, so I hot-glued a strip of lace around the outer edges. After that quick, simple addition, I felt this project was absolutely perfect!

How cute is this snowman?! I just love how his hat looks like it’s really flying off!

Tips & Tricks for Easy Snowman Painting

Now that you’ve seen this easy snowman painting, are you ready to make your own? Here are a few tips and tricks to ensure your project goes as smoothly as possible!

• Plan Ahead – When I want to do this craft, I usually paint my panel (or panels for some group crafting fun) the night before so it can fully dry overnight.
• Print The Template – Print your snowman and hat image with black ink on white copy paper so you can easily see where to paint your snowman. Be sure to center your design before adding paint!
• Change It Up – This winter snowman burlap art is more well suited for the holiday months, but you can easily do this same craft with different designs and themes, like a spring flower garden or pet family photo! Find your favorite image or character, print it out, and follow the rest of the directions.
