Today we are sharing the last Christmas craft for this season as we’re getting pretty close to Christmas time (only 12 days to go but who’s counting!). This Marshmallow Snowman Ornament is so much fun! The only problem we’ve had once they were made is my toddler kept trying to reach it off the tree to get the marshmallows inside, ha! I had to give him a few extra on the side as a little treat.
How to make a Marshmallow Snowman Ornament
Here are the supplies you’ll need to make these cute marshmallow snowman ornaments:
- Mini marshmallows
- A clear fill-able ornament
- Small black buttons
- Pipe Cleaner
- Tinsel Ribbon
- Orange Construction Paper
Directions to Make the DIY Marshmallow Snowman Ornaments
Here’s what we did to make these adorable snowman marshmallow ornaments:First make the snowman face.
1. I hot glued the eyes and mouth first on the clear ornament (make sure your little one doesn’t touch the hot glue during this time!).
2. Cut out a nose from the construction paper and glue this on. I used hot glue for this too so best if you do this part yourself also.
3. Now you can get your kids to fill the ornament with marshmallows! This is the fun part! You really have to stuff them in to fill the whole ornament so you may need to finish this part off yourself.
4. Finally you need to make the ear muffs! First I hot glued the pipe cleaner to both sides of the ornament.
5. Then take the tinsel ribbon and make it into a ball. Add this to both sides of the pipe cleaner to form the “ear” parts of the ear muffs.
I love the way this snowman marshmallow ornament turned out. The best part is if you’d like to make more than one, you can do different colors for the ear muffs. You could also put different decorations on the ear part of the muffs like a big pom pom.

How do the marshmallows hold up through the years? Â Does one need to dispose of them and refresh annually, or every or never? Â Thanks! Â It’s so cute!
They will need to be refreshed as they won’t last beyond one year. You can also replace with pom poms instead too.
I’m a teacher love your ideas!!
