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.

A very beautiful article, presented with clarity and great care. The two variations on the same pattern perfectly show how a simple model can give rise to elegant and accessible winter creations. The explanations are structured, easy to follow, and truly highlight the quality of the work. An inspiring resource for anyone who enjoys sewing and seasonal projects.
Thank you so much for this lovely feedback!
I’m happy you enjoyed the article and found the explanations clear and inspiring. Showing how one simple pattern can turn into different winter creations was exactly my goal, so your words truly mean a lot. Happy sewing and seasonal creating!
Oh, these are absolutely adorable! Thank you so much for sharing these two snowman craft ideas and, most importantly, the free templates. As a mom, I know that 90% of the battle in crafting with kids is the prep work—and having those templates ready to go is a lifesaver!
My kids get frustrated when a craft is too fiddly or takes too long. These look like they can be completed in one sitting (maybe 30 minutes tops!), which is the perfect attention span window.
Thank you so much, I’m really happy to hear that. These fleece snowmen are great because you can make several at once and easily vary them with different hat and scarf colors, so each one feels unique while staying quick and simple to finish.
