Celebrate the holidays with this little snowman and his wintery home. Mr. Snowman’s presents are all wrapped and ready under his tree, and he can’t wait for Christmas! This Christmas diorama is a great project if you’re looking to make some of your own unique décor for the festive season. It also makes a fun gift to put under someone else’s tree!

This pattern includes 27 pages with detailed instructions and pictures to make the snowman, Christmas tree, presents, mountains, and base. Each piece of the diorama is crocheted separately and then sewn to the base to make this adorable centerpiece for your Christmas decorations. The base is made from a wooden plaque (readily available at craft stores) and Styrofoam, and then covered in a crocheted yarn ‘sleeve’, and I include lots of pictures and details on how to do that (it’s really quite simple).

If you have any questions or anything is unclear, please email me and I’m happy to help. I’d also just love to hear if you download my pattern and make one of these Christmas scenes! :)
