I’m a bit excited to share my snowman cello bag treat craft with you this morning! I’m just in love with him and he will absolutely be making an appearance at school this season, at my Snowman party in January (the kids keep wanting to have a snow related party so they can have a snowball fight off the new tree house with friends) and maybe even at my annual Christmas cookie decorating party… I plan to use my Santa collection… hmmm… {note to self: make a Santa version! Update! Made Santa version!}.
Here’s what you’ll need: white powdered donut holes, pretzel cello bags (I picked mine up at JoAnn Fabric and Craft Stores), orange and black ultra thin point Sharpies, craft paper (the designs shown are from my Ice Cream Social collection) and tape.
Start by putting three donut holes in a cello to measure approximate height. Cut a strip of paper that length and insert it into your pretzel cello bag as a guide. Draw on your snowman’s carrot nose with the orange Sharpie and the eyes, mouth and buttons with the black Sharpie.
Punch a 1″ circle and a 2″ circle (my Fiskar punches came from JoAnn Fabric and Craft Stores) for the hat brim and top. Cut a 1″x3.5″ strip for the hat and a 1/4″ wide strip for the scarf.
Assemble the hat with tape. (Note: Use your 1″ circle to make sure the diameter of your hat is correct. I allowed for overlap in the 1″x3.5″ strip.)
Trim fringe on the end of the scarf and attach just below the first donut with a touch of glue or tape.

Love the snowman…..where did you get the cute holder? I want some too!
I picked the holders up at Target back in the summer. They’re really snowcone holders!

I love this idea! I’m having a Holiday Boutique next weekend and will be planning on serving all holiday themed treats and sweets. This definitely will be added to my list.
Thanks so much for sharing!

This is just so so cute and clever. I have to link to this at Edible Crafts, too

Very cute! What a great idea! The holders look like the Bed Springs I’ve been using in my projects, and a snowman is next on the list!

OH MY CUTE!! These will be PERFECT for the winter classroom party!!!
Very cute-wanting to make for my child’s class. Can you let me know what brand of donut holes you used and where you bought them? After six stops (grocers, Walmart, etc) I finally found some (Dunkin Donuts) but they were too big to fit in the pretzel bags! Thanks!
DB – I used Kroger brand!
