I got this idea from an old issue of Paper Crafts Magazine. I drew my own snow people so that I could have different sizes and shapes to match our family (I am making a family portrait for a Christmas gift). I added a child, toddler, baby and infant, a bunch of different styles of hats, and scarves. You can download the pattern by going here. The pattern is just a basic idea. You can change the size and shape of the snow people to suit your family. The hats and scarves and arms have to be cut smaller for the children and baby snowmen.
Here are two more snowman family portraits. The top one is my family and the bottom is one of my brother and sister in law's family.
Here is the finished project. I LOVE how it turned out. Finding a frame to fit everyone was not an easy task but in the end it turned out just how I wanted it to.
If you want to make your own you can download my pattern for the snowman family to help you get started.
This is so cute, and by changing the size a bit would be an awesome Christmas card! Thanks!
