Got to See These Vintage Inspired Snowmen

Hiya! So, what do you think of these vintage inspired snowmen? I am so happy with the way that they turned out! I especially love the knee hugger! I'm lucky enough to have some actual vintage elf knee huggers. They belonged to my mom & I always loved them as a kid! They were my inspiration!

I know this video is a year old, but I broke my shoulder (4 places!), so I'm stuck on the sofa watching vintage Christmas diys in August...I love this video! I'm going to make a knee hugger when I can use my arm! Thank you for the uplift!

That is the most adorable snowman ever! You'll have to make an elf to go beside him, that's what he reminds me of, but a newer take of that style! He's sooo cuuute! The decoration is like his very own self portrait, so cute! This little guy has to be my favorite character you've made.... I take that back , I think that every time I see a new one, lol! ☃️🥰

Hiya, Lyndi! Aw, thanks so much, gf! I considered making an elf, too. So happy that you like them! Love me some snowmen!☃️ Happy Wednesday!

[@janetnwonderland]

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I was changing my Christmas theme this year to a retro Christmas. I had already found the perfect tree topper when the unthinkable happened. My husband had a heart attack. This put us in a financial bind that also put a damper on Christmas and put the pricey tree topper I had intended to purchase, out of reach. I realized I would need to use what I had here at home to finish my tree. I had already made my own ornaments so why not the topper? But what to do? I couldn't recreate the vintage star topper with what I had available at home, and I couldn't afford to buy what I needed. And then I thought, I'll think outside of the box. And I remembered this video from last year. I knew that ornament would add just the right touch to my tree. I only had to enlarge it, light it, and add a hat and I would be set. Using what I had at home and your perfect design, I now I have the best tree topper I have ever had. And it would not have happened without you. I could have never came up with this design on my own. And this topper has truly made my entire theme shine. It would not be the same without it. You truly inspired me and gave me a joyous Christmas. Well, this topper and the fact that I still have my husband...just in case he ever sees this comment. 😉 But seriously, thank you. I love your designs, your videos, and adorable little laugh. They make me happy and always leave me smiling. You are very talented. Merry Christmas to you and yours, and to anyone here in the comments.

[@UpAllNightDIY]

Hiya, Janet! First, may I say that I am very relieved to hear that your husband is still with you to celebrate another Christmas! Wonderful news!! I am so very touched that you found joy in creating your own tree-topper! I’m certain it will always hold a special place in your heart ❤️ Thank you so very much for sharing this with me! I’m truly grateful & humbled that one of my designs inspired you! I would love to see it! Thank you for your kind words! They give me the warm fuzzies 🥰 May you & your husband have a very Merry Christmas & a Happy, Healthy New Year!! Many, many more! Cheers! ❤️🎄❤️

[@FlowerChyld43]

First, I'm sorry about your hubs.. is he all right now? And, I'd Love to see a photo!!

[@judyeldridge5786]

They sure are cute.

[@UpAllNightDIY]

Hiya, Judy! Thank you, my sweet friend! Cheers ☃️

[@FlowerChyld43]

Every time you go to add something new I say "Nooo! Don't add anything- it's so cute the way it Is" And then you do it anyway, and it gets Cuter! 🥰

[@UpAllNightDIY]

That’s so funny 😂 I do the same thing when watching diy videos 🤣 Thanks so much for watching! Have a lovely evening ✨🌛✨❤️

[@gracesneighborsharon.1111]

Wow such hard work creating the first project. I didn't realize 'knee hugger' was a term! Appreciate the work you put into these.

[@UpAllNightDIY]

Hiya, Sharon! Thanks so much for watching! Such a fun collab!❤🤗❤

[@geralyn-mm]

Migosh Monica is there anything you cannot do? And...you didn't even chip your nail polish! These are delightful - evoking sentimental fuzzy feelings of childhood Christmases. Thank you for your artistry.

[@UpAllNightDIY]

Hiya, Geralyn! So pleased that they brought back some fond memories! I love making things that take me back & so happy that they take you back, too. The secret to nonchipped polish, is a good gel polish 😉

[@geralyn-mm]

@@UpAllNightDIY and nails......I have a laborer's hands! Animal mommy, Crafter. Yard work, and lastly (and leastly) housework. I admire your talents and capability crowned by artistry. If I were more organized I'd want to be you!

[@kimtyndall876]

So flipping cute!

[@UpAllNightDIY]

Hiya. Kim! Thank you! I do love ⛄️! ❤️❤️❤️

[@diannaperry8116]

The first diy is awesome. At first I thought I might not like it,but I love it! It looks like something you would find in an antique store in some little out of the way place. New subscriber

[@UpAllNightDIY]

Hiya, Dianna! Yay! Welcome! So happy that you're here and that you like the projects! Thanks so much for spending time with me! Truly appreciate your kindness! Happy weekend ❤🤗❤

[@merleglass4063]

Geez I wish I could paint like you. I'm extremely crafty but have to opt out of some crafts because I have to paint. Wish I could make them and send them to you to paint for profit. It would be a win win.

[@UpAllNightDIY]

Hiya, Merle! Aw, thank you so much! That would be a win-win! 🤗 For the cheese box ornament, instead of painting, you could always print out a snowman face & Mod Podge it on. That would be a quick & easy substitute! Truly appreciate your spending time with me and your support! Happy weekend ❤☃️❤

[@chrisabq1702]

YOU ARE AMAZING!! TOO, TOO CUTE!! I ABSOLUTELY L❤VE ALL YOUR VIDEOS AND DIY'S 🥰🤗

[@UpAllNightDIY]

Hiya, Chris! That puts a smile on my face! Lovely way to start the week! Many thanks for watching and for your kindness! Have a fun-filled week! ❤🤗❤

[@lisafriloux1713]

Vintage snow man is so cute! I just may have to make one for our elf to have as a friend! TFS

[@UpAllNightDIY]

Hiya, Lisa! Yes! He'd make the perfect friend for your elf!🤗 Thanks so very much for watching! Happy weekend! ❤☃️❤

[@sallykanagy6145]

UNBELIEVABLE! ADORABLE! I just want to ask if you have a PhD in the arts?Good grief girl; I can only IMAGINE if I TRY to make this!

[@UpAllNightDIY]

Hiya, Sally! Makes me happy that you like them! No, PhD...but that would be cool 😎 Many thanks for watching and for your sweet comment! Happy weekend ❤🤗❤

[@kimkeller8021]

You are so talented! You make it look so easy, but I know if I tried any of your DIY'S, it would be hunks of junk! Lol

[@UpAllNightDIY]

Hiya, Kim! I say, give it a go! Thanks so very much for spending time with me! Truly appreciate your watching! Have a happy week! ❤❤❤
