DIY Snowmen Clothespin Magnets

Here’s a fun craft to make with kids this winter! They will love designing and creating their own snowmen; and when they’re done, they get to admire their handiwork on the fridge! (Don’t worry adults–you’ll love this craft too! 😉 ❤ )

Clothespins
Magnetic tape
Glue (hot glue works best, but obviously school glue would be the glue of choice when crafting with kids)
Small beads
Ribbon or pipe cleaners

First take your magnetic tape and lay it on the bottom of the clothespin. Cut the tape so that it fits on the clothespin without any edges sticking out.

And glue that sucker on… 🙂

Then, tear your cotton balls in half, and roll the halves in your hands to give them a rounded shape.

Glue 3 of your balls onto the non-magnetic side of the clothespin…

And decorate! (Note: make sure you don’t make them upside down!) I used two beads for eyes, two beads for buttons, and a small length of ribbon to make a scarf. You can see below how to make a scarf:

Cut a length of pipe cleaner or ribbon long enough to go around the snowman’s neck, and another slightly shorter piece…
