Corrugated Cardboard Snowman Ornaments

"I adore snowmen, and every year I try to make at least one new snowman ornament. Several years ago I made these corrugated cardboard snowman ornaments. They have turned out to be one of my most popular snowman ornaments and are among my favorites on the tree every year! Snowmen are timeless. They make adorable decorations whether they’re made from snow, or handcrafted into decor pieces. These snowmen ornaments are made from corrugated cardboard from a cardboard mailer, and they hang on my tree every year since I made them in 2011. "
