Cut out the snowman shape.
Fold three pieces of copy paper in half and trace the snowman shape onto them.
Cut out the shapes to get 6 snowman shapes.
How to Age Your Paper
To create a magical aged appearance, lay the snowman cutouts on a baking sheet.
Prepare a strong coffee or tea and carefully pour on the cutouts.
Let this sit for 2-3 hours.
After the desired affect is achieved, carefully take snowman cut outs out of the tea and place on a paper towel to dry.
Once they are dry you are ready to build a snowman!
How to Build Your Paper Snowman
First, fold each snowman shape in half.
Using a glue stick, glue Side A to Side B (see image). Repeat with 5 of the snowman shapes.
As a final step, put glue on the front side. Carefully wrap the back side around and adhere to make a 3D snowman.
Decorating Your Wizard Snowman
Now it’s time to dress your snowman up! We created snowman accessories inspired by the different houses in the Harry Potter books.
Choose a hat, a wand, and a colored scarf that best suits your tastes. Add a broom if desired. Glue on a paper carrot nose and draw on eyes if desired.
Displaying Your Snowman Ornament
You can tape a loop of embroidery thread to the back of the snowman’s head to hang on the tree as an ornament.
You can also cut the bottom flat so that your snowman can stand up on a table.
Let these wizard snowman cast a fun crafting spell on your kids the next time they’re looking for an activity to do!
