Quick to Make

Let’s start with quick designs to brighten your home or to use for a quick hostess gift.

Mug rugs are always popular and this ITH Snowman Mug Rug is sure to be a hit! Tuck one inside a mug with a packet of hot chocolate mix for a quick gift for anyone.

This ITH Snowman Wrap Around Towel Topper would make a much appreciated hostess gift with a cute holiday towel.

Snow Family Ornaments are sure to bring lots of smiles!

Around the Table

While these projects might take a bit more time, they are sure to be festive and add sparkle to any table. Also, just because it is a table runner, doesn’t mean you can’t take just the snowman and add him to a tote or sweatshirt for a fun, quick project!

DBJJ’s Snowman Table Runner can be done in any color scheme for a delightful table setting.

Another project that can be personalized to your kitchen/dining room table color scheme is this Modular Snowman Table Runner Project. This is such a quick and fun project! I enjoyed every minute of making it! I made the 5x7 hoop size.

Along with table runners, DBJJ has a wide variety of cheery placemats. This Modular Snowman Placemat Project will take your table to the next level of adorableness! These are on my loooong to-do list!

Complete your table setting with a bit of whimsey with this cute Snowman Utensil Holder Project. Isn’t he the happiest fella?

Let’s Get Comfy

These adorable throw pillows are sure to be a hit and make your family room look cheery and inviting! With the option of a bean stitch or a satin stitch, you are in control of the final product! And remember, snowmen can be made with alternate fabrics! Try using a washable velvet or fleece for a tactile finish. Decorative threads could also be used. Think outside the box and just play with your fabrics and threads.

Let’s Deck the Halls Too!

What could spark happiness more than a snowman wall hanging? Maybe two? This Snowmen Wall Hanging project has three gleeful snowmen to greet you at the door.

I have a slight confession to make. I made this one, and in my excitement to get it finished, I forgot to embroider the top and bottom borders! It hangs in our home every winter to remind me to slow down and enjoy the season. Don’t be afraid to think outside the box, make happy accidents, and just enjoy the time spent with your embroidery machine! I am planning to use the middle snow person on a sweatshirt for my youngest granddaughter. Can you just see it all pinked out?

Here’s my version of the wall hanging.

The Let it Snow Wall Hanging is brimming with good cheer! While you are warm and cozy inside, they are happily waving to you through the window. A little fake fur on their hat bands, maybe a warm fleece scarf . . . I am dreaming of a happy snowman family! 

The snowman in this ITH Snowman Wall Hanging is a seriously dapper fellow! Look closely at his broom and mitten—this DBJJ-team maker used some sparkly vinyl! How fun!

Looking for a smaller wall hanging? This ITH Snowman Mini Quilt Project is just brimming with cheer! But you can go big with your 9x14 hoop! 

Don’t Forget the Mantel and Under the Tree!

With some adorable snowman stockings and a snow family, your living room will feel so comfy guests might not want to leave!

The Snowman Stockings Project has three joyful snowmen to choose from and a cuff you can personalize! The fonts are not included, but in the details on the web page there are suggestions to get you started.

Oma’s 3D Snowman Family Project could be made to depict your own family members. They could be decked out to your heart’s content too. I love the snowflakes on their hands.

Do you have a cheery tree skirt? Whether in your living room, family room, farm kitchen, or hall you will have a winner with this one!

The Snowman Tree Skirt is such a happy look. I just love everything about it! I made this one in the 5x7 hoop size, and it is just perfect for our smaller tree. I change out the more Christmas-y skirt to this one so I can keep our tree up into January. You can see the variegated threads I used in the close-up photo.

If your project list is growing as you scroll, you may want to peek at the Snowman Mega Bundle before choosing designs one by one. It includes the snowman projects featured here, from quick gifts to wall hangings, table decor, stockings, quilting designs, and more.
