Mason Jar Snowman Craft
This mason jar snowman craft is almost too cute for words!
We are often holiday crafting because it’s fun to make things to give to friends and family for Christmas. This mason jar snowman is no different. Simply filled with homemade treats or store bought candy, this snowman would make the perfect gift!
We are slightly obsessed with snowmen as proven by this alphabet block snowman craft, this snowman magnet craft, this melted snowman ornament, this wooden peg snowman craft or this cork snowman ornament. Clearly we love our snowman crafts so it made total sense to create this cute mason jar snowman this year.
