Snowman Freebie...

It looks like an invasion of snowmen...LOL...This little snowman is another oldie but goodie...I gave the graphic away as a freebie last year and have had several requests for it this year sooooo here he is...
"Snowman Candy Wrapper"
This graphic may be sized to fit almost anything, from rolls of Lifesavers or Rolos to coffee cans and microwave popcorn. It works especially well when wrapped around your favorite size of Hershey bar.
The hats can be made out of felt, fleece, Christmas socks or the cutest thing I've seen is knit gloves...The scarfs can be made from scraps of fabric, felt, fleece or ribbon as well. It's also fun to add buttons, little snowflakes and other doodads to make them really fancy...

Several Hugsisters from the PcCrafter message board were kind enough to send me pictures of their snowman creations and I do appreciate their help...sorry to say that I could'nt use all the pictures but here's a sampling of what you can do with this simple piece of art...

I think these are wrapped around microwave popcorn...
love the little jingle bells!
Lifesaver snowmen are the cutest! It looks like she used the finger of some knitted gloves for the hat...and added some tiny snowflakes and yarn for the scarf...cute,cute,cute!

This is your basic Hershey bar with a felt hat...I sold a bunch of snowmen just like this last year at my craft shows...they where my best sellers!

So there you have it...my gift to you...again...now go forth and craft my friends... This lil' snowman was created to give others joy... and I hope that he will continue to make people smile for years to come...Hope you have a wonderful, joyful, Christmas season.
Hugs, Laurie

Just to let you know that I made these cute snowmen (in pink) as baby shower door prizes. WHAT A BIG HIT! Everyone was asking for the pattern. Just so you know, I gave you the credit! Thanks for the cutest idea I've seen in a long time.

Thanks, Laurie, for making this available again this year! It's just so cute and versatile and I know a lot of crafters have been looking for it.

I am looking for cute ideas for my 9 year old. She wants to make and sell something to raise money to buy toys for kids at Riley Hospital. She chose "Smiles for Riley" as her logo. Thanks for the idea!!

Hi Laurie,I found your snowman wrapper at GardenWeb's Crafts board and it is adorable. I tried to download to make wrappers for my grandchildren, but due to user (me) error I'm sure,can't seem to download it. Is it available other than a zip file? I'll ask DH for help, but for some reason our computer doesn't like zip files.
Would love to use your graphic if possible!!
Thanks,Cindy Sherritt

Laurie, I just happened to find you by one of the sew forums I belong to, and I am so glad that I did! I LOVE the snowman candy wrapper that you shared with us and gave it to several of my friends for Christmas. All of them were so impressed and wanted to know where I got such a cute idea. I gave them your name and told them how to find your blog.
I have also gone to PC Crafters and am using some of your art from there.
Thanks again for sharing your talent and creativity with us !

Grandma Bonnie said...

I have been using thiws graphic for two years now and had to thank you - I know it's late, but you have to realize it has taken a life of it's own. Try putting a camo cap on him and it turns into a Kernel Popper to be given as gifts to our military! There's snow stopping him - again, thnks

GG With A Twist of Lime said...

This past Christmas my sister and I flew to London on Christmas Day. I made the Snowman Candy Bars and handed them out to every employee we came in contact with that day. After all they were working on Christmas day so I could take my trip. We attached a sticker on the back thanking them for being a part of our trip of a lifetime. Before we even got on the plane (we were flying BA) we were upgraded to business class! During the flight every single flight attendant came by to meet us and get their candy bar. They all commented that no one had ever done anything so nice for them! One even told us that we had restored her faith in humanity! As we left the plane we were presented with a bottle of champagne! Never under-estimate how a simple gesture and acknowledgment of someone and the job they are doing will do for a person. More than that, it made us feel good when we gave out our candy bars. It made our trip even better than we could have imagined and one that we will never forget.

virgie said...

Thanks for the snowman pattern. How do I change the size to fit life savers?

Jenglamgirl said...

Found you through a friend on FB who posted a link to someone who had a great video on how to make your snowmen. She also linked to your site. I just wanted to say thank you for the free gift. These are totally adorable in everyway. I love them. I don't sew but I think I can handle a straight zig zag stitch. I can't wait to make these.

Also is the 8oz. paper down load the one for the hershey bar? I downloaded it and I just need to print and copy them. Thanks again.

Jen - CraftOManiac.blogspot.com You should come by my blog this evening and link these up to my craft link party CraftOManiac Monday. ;)

suesscrapnstamps.com said...

These are so stinkin' cute and so easy to make. Thanks so much for sharing the download again this year. We've made 30+ snowmen to give to neighbourhood children, daycare and local kindergarten. Your generosity helps us all spread Christmas cheer.

Merry Christmas to you and your family.

Kate said...

I just saw another crafter make a set of these snowmen (giving full credit to you). I followed her link and downloaded the file for myself. Thanks so much for sharing. I'm not sure that I'll make these these year as I am pretty much set at this point, but have the file saved. Your little snowmen are ADORABLE and this is such a wonderful idea.
Blessings to you and yours this Christmas!

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!

Hello again. Ok so my little one brought home one of these from Sunday school and I thought it was so cute I wanted to find out how to make them. I just posted about them on my blog with a link back to your free printable. I also have an explanation there on how I got the printable to work. So cute and my girls can't wait to make them for their friends next year for Christmas gifts. Thank you so much for posting.

Hi Laurie,

Your Snowman Candy Wrapper idea is absolutely darling! I am a school teacher and the Snowman idea is perfect! Are you still offering your Snowman Freebie?
