You just need a few simple things to make a cute snowman hat centrepiece and it won’t take very long.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!I used an empty Ovaltine tin, but you can use any size tin that you have. You can even use a circular box that I’ve seen in the dollar stores. You also need a piece of firm cardboard, some ribbon, some holly and berries, spray paint, fasteners and glue.
The first thing is to measure the circumference of your tin or circular box add a couple of inches for the brim. Trace the circle on the stiff cardboard and cut it out. This will be the brim of the hat. The best way to make a circle is to trace a plate.
At first I thought of glueing the brim onto the hat but it just didn’t work out that way. So I punched 3 holes into the bottom of the tin and used fasteners to fix it to the cardboard brim.
Then I used some rust paint to do an undercoat on the tin. This was to make sure the spray paint adhered to the tin. After this was dry I used black spray paint. You might need a couple of coats of paint to cover everything. Be sure to let it dry completely before moving on to the decorating.
I created a tag to add to the snowman hat as I’m giving one as a gift this year.
It’s all finished and ready to be displayed on a table.
