Kitchen Splatter Screen Snowman Repurposed Handcrafted DIY

 

Kitchen Splatter Screen Snowman Repurposed Handcrafted DIY with LilacsNDreams. 

Welcome Everyone! Holidays, Christmas, meal planning, decorations, planning activities and gatherings, crafting, and so many things to do for the big day. Also, right after that is the end of the year celebrations too! How you doing with all of this? 

This year is different just like the rest of the year has been. We are fully decorated here inside, and out. We are making preparations for the meal to be served. Gonna be kind of big this year with lots of food to serve everyone. One thing that will be different is the gift giving. I do not plan on wrapping any gifts this year. Everyone has been getting things delivered as I put it together what they are to receive. Our biggest thing is being with family, and friends celebrating the day with all kinds of food, sharing laughs, remembering times and those not with us, and so on.

As for crafting I have accumulated things to do to start with. This particular project pictured above was something I have completed...almost. I think I’m going to add a scarf, or maybe some mitten hands. I have to decide that yet. I made this piece from a Dollar Tree splatter guard. I added a white shelf liner to make the face white. I used a pink talis like material making the pink cheeks, and I used black buttons for the eyes and mouth. For the nose I did not remove the handle on the spring protector, but did paint it orange for the snowman nose. I’ve added a child’s black stocking cap to fit. Issue I am dealing with on the hat is I put the eyes to high. They should have been a little lower towards the nose which is making the hat hard to position for a descent look. 

I have sooo many more christmas crafts I intend to complete. I have been stocking with supplies I want to use, and my piles are accumulating too. Probably not all of it will be completed by Christmas time which is fine. I hate rushing things, and prefer to take the time to craft. I hope to be offering pieces for sale after I complete a few of them. I will share pictures as I complete some of these things. 

Thanks so much for visiting with LilacsNDreams! Till the next time have fun, enjoy this time of year, and be safe everyone! Toodles!

Snowman Splatter Screen Handmade Repurposed Restyled Christmas Holidays

Snowman on Splatter Screen Repurposed Restyled Handmade Christmas Holidays

Welcome to LilacsNDreams! Happy to see those returning, and to see those who are new too! 

Wow! This week is Thanksgiving already! Everyone ready for it? Have big plans? At this time I don’t have any plans myself. Daughter will be with her in-laws, son will be on base...will be home for Christmas though, and I think Hubby might role in Friday if loads don’t change. With son coming home preparations for Christmas have started. Outside lights hung Sunday, lighted garland on light post on porch, tree has been brought up for me to put together, and something new I am using this year is a blow up snowman family. Tested it, and it is working. So, today while it’s still nice I will get that put out, and staked to the ground. Christmas is one time of year I get excited with decorating, crafting, home decor, did I mention crafting?lol! Festive time of year our family gathers, and spends time with each other. 

Hubby was home for couple days, and we did a lot of running around, errands, and doing things he needed done. So, unfortunately I did not complete 2 of my craft projects I wanted to. Almost done, just a couple more things to do. 

I’ve enjoyed making this snowman. It got kind of chilly out, so I was not able to spray paint anything. I had fun finding another way to cover the face of this Handmade Snowman  you are seeing below. 

I used the Dollar Tree splatter guards that have become popular for crafting projects. I have his face completed. I’m in the process of completing his hat. I’m using white foam board for the hat. Pieces are cut, and black material is being added. I need to finish the edges, the brim with material, and then some embellishments around the hat. Once he is completed I will share that with you, and how I did things for this snowman project.

I have a snowman hat that I also need to complete. I have the tin can painted black, couldn’t find my black plate, but did find another one at the Dollar Tree Store. I need to decide on the color of ribbon, and embellishments I want on the hat so I can do that, and then glue the top of hat to the base to com-let this Christmas project too. I will also share this completion with you. 

Crafting, creating, repurposing are projects I hope to work on a little more this week. I need to get a few more things done so that I can clear the table, and start preparing for our family Christmas.

I hope this finds everyone doing well. I wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving! Safe travels, have fun, and be safe!

Thank you for visiting LilacsNDreams! Take care, and stop on by anytime. See you all again soon. Toodles . . . . .
