Frozen-Inspired Olaf Ornament Kids Make

“Do you want to build a snowman?”

My daughter squealed with excitement.

Here I was dreaming of making snowman ornaments while she dreamed of bringing Olaf to life.

So we did both!

She helped me make these cute little snowmen ornaments, then I helped her figure out how to make some Frozen inspired Olaf ornaments. We even made snowman head ornaments!

Whether you want to make a classic snowman, snowman heads, or a Frozen-Inspired Olaf ornament the supplies are the same. Might as well try them all!

This Olaf ornament was inspired by Disney’s “Frozen” and the children’s book, “Frozen Olaf’s Night Before Christmas.”

‘Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house, not a creature was stirring . . . until a sound awakens Olaf.”

Frozen-Inspired Olaf Ornament Kids Make: Materials

Polyform clay assorted Colors & White
twigs
Galvanized wire
Wire cutters
Ornament hooks or jute twine
Oven bake clay bond and glaze pack (optional)

How to Make a Frozen-Inspired Olaf Ornament

Wash your hands and clean the surface you will be working on. Polymer clay picks up every speck of dirt it can find. When working with white this is especially important.

You will even need to wash your hands after working with a color if you will be working with white again. Yes, really. I kept a wet washcloth nearby to keep our hands clean as my daughter and I worked.

Basic directions and a photo tutorial can be found below.

Olaf Ornament Assembly Directions:

Make clay pieces of Olaf; body, snowball legs, nose, eyes, eyebrows, mouth, tooth, and buttons. The easiest way to make a carrot nose is to roll a little bit of orange polymer clay into a small ball. Next, roll one side of it like a snake until you have a small carrot.
Select and trim twigs to use for arms and hair.
Cut 2-1/1/2 inch section of galvanized wire. Bend it in half. Place this hook prongs down into the top of your ornament so you can hang it when you are finished assembling Olaf.
Assemble Olaf by sticking the clay pieces of his body together. Start with the body next attach the mouth, tooth, nose, eyes, and buttons. Last add twig arms and snowball legs. Have fun making him in different positions if you wish.
(Optional) Pull out each twig arm and each piece of twig hair one at a time. Place a drop of polyform bake and bond (also included in oven bake clay bond and glaze pack listed above) into the hole and insert the twig back into the hole. We found that this really helped the twigs attach to Olaf’s body the best.
Bake according to polymer clay manufacturers directions. We baked ours in a 275 F oven for 25 mins laying down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
