This cute snowman trinket box was made by hand in polymer clay. I covered an empty flavored coffee tin with blue pearl polymer clay, then sculpted snowmen to decorate the sides and lid. The box measures 5 1/2 inches long, 3 inches wide, and 6 inches tall (to the top of the snowman's hat). The base of the tin was wrapped in white sparkling polymer clay snow, and four different snowmen decorate the sides of the box. On one side I used stamped polymer clay tiles to spell out LET IT SNOW. The tops of the words are also covered in polymer clay snow. Blue sparkling snowflakes decorate the sides and lid. A snowman wearing a purple and red hat and scarf also serves as the handle. I used high gloss glaze and sprinkled it with fine glitter, creating a lovely sparkling effect. This festive little trinket box would make a wonderful gift.

Christmas in July has inspired this box, and I thought this would be a very nice way to recycle my empty flavored coffee tins. These cute boxes are useful, as well as decorative.
