Creating winter soft toys brings joy, comfort, and that cosy holiday feeling everyone waits for in December and throughout the winter months. Snowman crafts inspire a whole range of projects, and today we share two adorable snowmen made from the same free template but in different styles.
The first snowman is made of fleece, simple and quick, perfect for beginners and families. The second one is sewn from plush fabric and looks more decorative, especially with glass eyes and knitted accessories. Both versions are easy, budget-friendly, and help fill any home with winter charm. The free templates are included, ready for download and unlimited use.
Snowman Crafts Idea from Fleece
This version is perfect for anyone who loves quick, heartwarming projects. A fleece snowman takes about an hour to complete and works for crafters of all ages.

Snowman Crafts Idea from Plush
The second idea transforms the same template into a more elegant plush snowman. White plush fabric makes the toy look fluffy and polished. Glass eyes, a felt carrot nose, neat embroidery, and cute knitted accessories give the figure a storybook appearance. This snowman works beautifully as a gift, as part of winter displays, or as a decorative piece for the home.
