Supplies Needed to Make a Wiggly Paper Snowman Craft

You only need a handful of supplies to make this craft. We’ve made it simple by providing a free printable template, but you can also cut out your own shapes by hand if you prefer.

What kind of glue should I use? Since this is mostly a paper craft, white glue or a glue stick will work fine.

For the buttons and pom poms, we like to use an extra-strong non-toxic glue like this one. Just make sure to let it thoroughly dry and press and hold for the glue to take.

Directions For How To Make a Paper Snowman

1. Cut out the template and trace around the elements. You will need orange cardstock for the carrot, light brown cardstock for the arms, black for the boots and hat and green or red for the mittens.

You’ll also need green or red glitter paper for the scarf.
