It's just a soda (pop) or beer can spray painted white...please make sure to rinse them good!
Just bend the can to the way you want it to stand. Paint the eyes and nose the color of your choice. Paint the inside of the mouth black.
Cut a strip of fabric and glue it around the head to look like a scarf. I tied mine at the bottom before I glued it to the can.
I took one of those glittery pipe cleaners, tied it in a bow and tucked it and some raffia under the scarf with some glue to look like hair sticking out of the scarf.
I cut some felt to look like mittens and glued them to both sides of the bottom of the can and painted two buttons so as to look like she is wearing a coat. I had no idea this would generate interest. I cannot get my email to send photos right now, (it's having some issues) so feel free to take these photos of the Snowman Can if you need to. Just please, out of common courtesy, if you use the photos please give me the credit.
Well I spent two hours on our Christmas Tree this morning...
It's getting there.......now to go sweep, clean up and put down the tree skirt.
I'll leave you with one of my favorite ornaments!

Darla that is so sweet and easy. I love the snow man can. Thanks for sharing that with us. Your tree is beautiful and I can see why that is your favorite ornament.
Very cute and inexpensive decoration. Your house is looking a lot like Christmas! Hope you have a Merry one!
That looks very interesting to me. I have not seen a snowman made from a popcan before.
Thanks for the tutorial!
