How to Make a Snowman Wreath (AKA Fluffy Frosty)
Supplies
- 1 Dollar Tree snowman wreath form
- 1 small sheet of black faux leather, faux fur, or black felt (Dollar Tree)
- 1 small red scarf or strip of felt or fleece (Dollar Tree, or recycle one you have)
- 3 Dollar Tree microfiber duster/mop pad cloths
- Hot Glue Gun/glue sticks
- Wire cutter (optional)
- Scissors
DIY Snowman Wreath Tutorial
Step 1: Trim Wire Frame
Use wire cutters to clip off the arms or bend the wire arm sections until they pop off.
Step 2: Cut Up Mop Pad
Cut the mop pad into sections — 3 sections will make fluffier snowman, 4 sections will fit the frame more narrowly.
Step 3: Glue Mop Pad to Wreath Form
Place the cloth mop pad fluffy side down on your work surface, then place the wreath form on top.
Using plenty of hot glue, attach one section of the mop pad to the front of the wreath, wrapping the entire front of the frame and the edges with the fluffy microfiber cloth. (You can see what it looks like here from the back.)
Repeat this process around the entire lower section of the snowman wreath form.
Continue gluing the mop pad to the upper circle section of the wreath form until it is completely covered.
Step 3: Add the Hat
Cut a piece of faux leather/fur/felt a little bit larger than the square part of the hat.
Glue the square of material to the front of the hat, then wrap it around the edges of the hat section and secure the excess to the back.
Step 4: Make the Hat Brim
Cut a piece of material the width of the wire wreath form hat brim and a couple of inches long. Roll this piece of the hat material into thirds and hot glue to secure in place.
Glue onto the wire hat form, covering the wire on the bottom of the hat.
Isn’t this the cutest touch!
Step 5: Add the Scarf
Tie the scarf around the neck section and trim the end as needed.
Step 6: Display
Hang the snowman wreath on a hook or wreath hanger.
Variations for the Craft
Give your Snowman Wreath a unique twist with these variations:
- Top it Off: Add accessories to the snowman’s hat, such as a red ribbon (or strip of leftover felt) and a button, or a bit of greenery and holly berries. You could also add your own arms using twigs, and cut mini mittens from the felt or fleece scraps.
- Seasonal Swap: Change the scarf color and accessories to match different seasons or holidays.
- Snow Family: Craft a trio or group of snowmen wreaths for a charming family display.
- Personalized Touch: Add small ornaments, mini stockings, or a personalized name tag for an extra special touch.

Dollar Tree DIY Snowman Wreath Questions
Can I use a different type of fabric for the wreath?
Absolutely! Get creative with your fabric choices to customize the look of your snowman wreath. You can use material you have on hand, such as a cotton or fleece fabric (cut in strips) to wrap the wreath form or tied on to make a rag wreath.
You could also wrap the form with loop yarn or chenille like this easy yarn wreath, or use white yarn (with a double or triple strand) to make a woven snowman wreath like this. Use our trick to make a bunch of pompoms quickly to make enough fluffy white pom poms to tie on to the wreath form to make a snowball snowman wreath!
If you’ve got more time, white paper would also look great as a curled paper snowman wreath! (but that’s for indoor use only, clearly)
Or, while you are at Dollar Tree, pick up a white fleece scarf, faux fur scarf (like we used for the candy cane wreath), cotton bar mop towel or wash cloth, faux snow Christmas tree felt drape, white deco mesh or even a pair of white socks to cover the wreath form!

What if I can’t find a Dollar Tree snowman wreath form?
If your store is sold out, you may be able to purchase wreath forms in bulk online. You can also make your own by using 2 sizes of embroidery hoops (or these Dollar Tree wreath rings) or an 18-inch wire wreath form and a smaller 8-inch wire wreath form. Attach the 2 hoops together with zip ties.
Then you’ll just need to make your own hat — use a square of cardboard to sub for the wire wreath frame, or see how we made a paper Frosty the Snowman hat here.
Can I make this with kids?
Definitely! This project is family-friendly, making it a delightful activity for children with adult supervision. If you’d like an even easier and more kid-friendly DIY snowman wreath, make this paper snowman wreath.
