Most of the things used for this snowman was purchased from the Dollar Tree. I had gotten the buttons at Walmart but you can easily do this whole craft with DT items.
Supplies for splatter screen snowman
- Three Splatter Screens with handles (Dollar Tree)
- White spray paint (Walmart)
- Foam board for hat (Dollar Tree)
- Buttons (Walmart)
- Nose (Orange burlap leaf from Dollar Tree)
- Snowflake (Dollar Tree)
- Board (I used wood I had on hand)
- Scarf and Hat Trim (Old sweater I never wear)
- Floral wire (Dollar Tree)
- Hot Glue
When I saw this snowman craft from another blogger, I ran to my nearest Dollar Tree and bought all of the Splatter Screens that they had in stock, I bet they thought I was crazy ha!
The snowflake is felt stickers in a package of 12.
I took two of the splatter screens and bent the handles to secure them to the boards. I used glue but you can actually screw them in to be more secure.
Attached all of the splatter screens together with floral wire but make sure to put the handle facing down for the one on top. This way the top splatter screen is not bending backwards because of the weight.
Here is the back side view to show you want it looks like.
Once everything is attached and secure, I spray painted it twice (letting it dry before applying second coat).
Once the paint is dry, I hot glued the buttons and burlap nose on. I took the foam board and cute 2 pieces to look like the hat.
The reason for 2 pieces was because I wanted the splatter screen to go in between the foam board at the bottom. I hot glued the top part of the foam boards together but not the bottom below the red trim.
I just guessed at the size of the hat when I was making but it worked out great. The actual measurements are 9.25″ wide at base, 6″ wide top part and 8″ height (from top to bottom).
I then cute up my red sweater to make a scarf and the trim (attached with hot glue) for his hat.

Are all 3 splatter screens the same size?
Teresa
Yes, these only come in one size. All 3 of these are the ones with the long handle.

I will be trying these snowman this week. I don’t have a cardboard box , but I do have a empty plastic storage
Bin. I was thinking of putting a command strip in the inside of the bin to hold the splatter screen in place with a wire. As it dangles inside the bin I was going to spray it white..
My question is if I am going to spray 10 screens what is the easiest place to hang them to dry?
Teresa
Hi Joanne, thanks for stopping by. What I did was had mine out on an old table in the back and spray painted one side, let dry and flipped it over and painted the other side.

What size wood did you use?
I didn’t see it written anywhere.
Teresa
Because it really doesn’t matter. Just as long has it a solid piece of wood sturdy enough to hold it down and wide enough to glue both handles to it. I hope that helps 🙂
