I painted this Snowman Tealight Shade a couple weeks ago for my friend Beckie. What a treat to guest post on Infarrantly Creative!

Painted Snowman Oven Mitt

You might think this is an idea for a Last Minute Gift, but it’s not. I’m sure that you’re completely done with presents, right? So this is just an easy Snowman Paint Project for next year.
