I’ve done it again! The chalk is making it’s appearance once again on Glued To My Crafts and this time it’s for a winter snowman theme! I’m so excited to share this first-seen-here idea with you all today!

On that note, I SUPER hope you are encouraged to pull together this Paper & Chalk Snowman Shooting Star craft idea for your young crafters today! It’s my vision of how “snow” makes it’s appearance at night. Do you see my vision?

Keep scrolling for the how-to and the free provided blank star printable below!

With the winter season here and us spending more time indoors, sadly the chalk that was once loved during the summer season {and for all our past chalk art tutorials on our website} won’t be getting used as much. In fact, you might even toss the old chalk stash and just make a mental note to buy a few new packs next summer {THE HORROR!}

As I’ve said before and I’ll say it again {louder for those in the back, who just entered our “website” for the first time!} WAIT! Don’t be so quick to get rid of those chalk remnants! They are still good and very much still useful, even during the cold months. And with this latest crafting tutorial from us, I challenge YOU to bring them all indoors, as you recreate our chalk art idea where we turned our shooting star into a fun snowman friend!

Now hear me out. I’m not crazy. This is the BEST part of everything. Our super fun DIY snowman shooting star design craft is going to be really inexpensive to recreate. Possibly even FREE. Can I get an amen since we are all probably pinching our pennies because of Christmas right now?! You more than likely have everything you need right now, so it’s just a matter of pulling it all out!

All you need is a few pieces of white chalk, dark colored construction paper and our free star printable listed below. That’s it! And since the supplies are really simple, I could see this DIY being done in large crowd setting like a children’s holiday party, at a sleepover and even in the classroom for a winter lesson plan. Even adults can participate {and love} this one!

So what are we waiting for?! All the details and the free snowman star shape printable can be found below. Don’t let this crafty abstract idea slip away. Bookmark it now and later this week, make some colorful “one-of-a-kind” chalk art shooting stars with the kids & then show off those creations, with pride, with us! We love seeing those pics so tag us on Facebook or add #gluedtomycrafts in the description!

Happy crafting, my dear friends! I can’t wait to see your paper and chalk shooting snowman star creations! I’m sure they are going to be MAGICAL!

Directions:

• First things first – download our free blank snowman star shape printable, listed above in the supply list.
• Next, go ahead and find it on your computer, right click and print the file on a single sheet of white cardstock. One print will give you TWO shooting stars, so you will be able to do the craft TWICE today. Print as many as you like but only use our file for personal use only please.
• Now that you have the printable, go ahead and use your craft scissors to trim out one of the star shapes.
• Set aside the leftover paper piece with the other star design in it, so you can repeat the craft later.
• Now grab your markers, cardstock scraps etc. to decorate the star shape to look like a snowman. Go to town and make him look however you like!
• When done, set it aside for a bit.
• Now grab a single sheet of dark colored cardstock {think dark blue, dark gray, maybe even black} and your white colored chalk.
• Starting on one side of the paper, make several curved lines to create a rainbow {or snow flurries} coming from one edge of the paper. Add as many lines and colors as you like.
• When done with the chalk, use baby wipes to clean off excess chalk from fingers and hands.
• Now grab your star cutout and choice of adhesive {I used a stapler.}
• Secure you decorated paper star piece in the corner of the paper, so it looks like your snowman star is shooting out of it.
• Add any other embellishments you see fit {like snowflake stickers!}
• Then display your custom one-of-a-kind paper snowman shooting star piece proudly for all to see!
• Repeat the steps above, the same way, for the second star piece leftover from earlier!
• Don’t forget to share pictures with us on your social media sites! I want to see everyone’s snowmen shooting stars come to life! #gluedtomycrafts

Customize It:

Did you know you can dip your chalk in water to make the colors more vibrant on your paper? Yup! Just set a small dish with tap water on the table, dip the chalk in it for a few seconds and then draw on the paper the same way as before. This step could make your SNOWY lines even more vibrant on your paper!

And don’t feel limited by my color choices either! If you don’t have white chalk on hand, any color chalk will work as well. Not to mention, if you don’t want a plain white snowman, change it up! Whatever your crafty heart is screaming for you to do – DO IT! I highly encourage you to bring out the crayons, coloring pencils and markers for a custom look!

One last thing – if you don’t have a printer to take advantage of our free provided file, no worries my friends! Just hand-draw and cut out a simple “star” shape from some basic white cardstock paper instead. Then follow the shooting star snowman craft tutorial the same way!

Quick joke to tell afterwards:

Question: What type of diet did the snowman go on?
Answer: The Meltdown Diet
