Step-by-Step Tutorial

Step 1: Paint the Block

Paint the entire Jenga block white.
Let it dry completely before moving to the next step.

Step 2: Distress the Surface

Use a sanding block to gently scuff the block for a lightly distressed, rustic look.

Step 3: Add Antique Wax

Dip a chip brush very lightly into antique wax, then offload (dab off excess).
Lightly brush the wax across the block to give it a soft vintage finish.

Step 4: Make the Hat

Cut a small scrap of fabric wide enough to wrap around the top of the block.
Add hot glue along one edge and fold it over to form the hat brim.
Wrap it around the top of the block and glue it into place.
Trim any extra fabric.

Step 5: Tie & Trim

Wrap twine around the top of the hat and knot it in place.
Trim the excess twine.
Use scissors to trim the hat and create a cute, frayed look.

Step 6: Add a Scarf

Cut another piece of fabric to make a scarf.
Tie it around the snowman’s “neck” and trim to the length you like.
Lightly fray the ends with your scissors for a cozy, worn-in look.
Use a dab of hot glue to hold the scarf in place if needed.
