Do you want to build a snowman? Learn how to make a cute light-up snowman using inexpensive supplies from Dollar Tree! I've been on a big Dollar Tree kick lately, finding all sorts of fun things to use in my Cricut Crafts. I recently found these glass bowls in the floral section of Dollar Tree, which can be combined together to make a super cute snowman, just like this little guy. So I'm going to show you how I made this so you can have one too. I calculate that it was only $9 for supplies to make this light-up snowman!
