With less than a week until Christmas, how many of you are feeling the holiday crunch? Shopping, wrapping, baking, entertaining, etc. Well, if you’re hosting an event with kids or you’re in a pickle to impress Santa this year, I thought I’d share these sweet Snowman Milk Bottles with you today.
Recently, I was thumbing through a Pottery Barn Kids magazine and happened to see the use of these bottles in their styling — and remembered thinking that I just had to give it a try! I don’t have kiddos, but I think this would be a fabulous way to impress my friends kiddos. Right?
Snowman Milk Bottles
SUPER easy and SUPER adorable!
Grab these few supplies and you’ll have these cuties ready to got in less than 15 minutes! That’s a win-win when things are a little cRaZy, right?
Supplies:
Empty Milk Bottles, Red and White Striped Straws
Buttons, Felt (or mini scarf from craft store) and a Glue Gun
To keep the costs down, I used Starbucks Frappucino bottles. The striped scarf was a scarf and hat set intended for dolls that I picked up at Michaels. The straws pictured are plastic. I purchased a set of 8 at the Dollar Store! Woot! So, this project cost me less than $4.00. If you have the bottles and felt — it would be less than $2.00. The buttons can be popped off and the scarves are removable as well — so you can continue to reuse the bottles year after year. Boo-yah!
Simply cut a strip of felt, snip the ends as pictured below and glue!
Like I said earlier, super easy! In minutes, you’re ready to impress…
…your kids
…your guests
and maybe even Santa!
What do you think? I just think they’re darling…
Check out these snowman projects too!
Happy Everything!
Care to stay in the loop? I’d love to have you!

Kelly, you genius! This is way too cute! I’m so putting together two of these along with some cookies for our milk guy! I was just telling hubby that I was trying to come up with an idea for him and his wife and this is perfect! Thank you! 🙂
Britni says
Just to clarify, that would be the milk man and his wife, not my hubby and another wife! LOL! After reading my comment again it sounds a little funny 😉
Kelly says
LOL! Thanks for loving on my project 🙂 Perfect gift for the milk man and wife… I had no idea there were still milk men! Wowzer. Merry Christmas, Britni!

Oh my gosh, these are so adorable I’m starting to forget it’s ninety degrees outside. I want to get a bottle with a cork or lid I can somehow nontoxically turn black like a top hat.
I’d love to see this over at Kollabora.com, the online crafting and DIY community! I’ve been looking for home decor inspiration lately and haven’t been seeing many projects with this kind of humor to them. If you’re interested, you should check out the site and consider joining!
