How to Make DIY Melted Snowman Faux Cookies

Prepare your workspace and gather all supplies before starting your faux dessert craft.
Condition your brown-colored air dry foam clay until soft, smooth, and easy to shape.
Press the clay into a round silicone coaster mold to form your cookie base. You don’t need to fill it completely—this is just to create the shape. You can also hand-shape or use a cookie cutter if preferred.
Roll out white air dry foam clay to create the melted snow layer.
Use a flower cookie cutter to cut the shape, then gently stretch and smooth it so it looks slightly uneven and “melted.”
Place the melted snow layer on top of the cookie base, allowing it to slightly drip over the edges while still showing some of the cookie underneath. Trim and smooth as needed for a natural look.
Create the snowman’s head by shaping a small ball of white air dry foam clay to resemble a marshmallow, then place it slightly toward the back of the cookie.
Roll out light blue foam clay into a thin rope and wrap it around the base of the snowman’s head to form a scarf. Cross the ends and trim them to size.
Add fringe detail to the scarf by making small cuts at the ends of the clay.
At this point, your melted snowman cookie base is complete and ready for decorating.
Apply clear glue over the melted snow area and sprinkle on your favorite craft sprinkles for texture and detail.
Add a light layer of white fine glitter to enhance the frosted, sugary look.
Create the snowman’s arms by cutting small pieces of black string and placing them onto the still-wet surface. Adjust sprinkles as needed to secure them.
Apply a thin layer of clear glue over any remaining areas to prepare for final embellishments.
Add facial features such as eyes and a carrot nose using small clay pieces or beads.
Use a bow silicone mold with foam clay to create a decorative bow, then attach it to the top of the snowman’s head.
Finish with an additional dusting of glitter if desired for extra sparkle.
Allow your DIY melted snowman faux cookies to dry completely for 24–48 hours before displaying.
