2. Add the Head

Finally, add either a carved pumpkin or jack o'lantern to make the snow man's head.

TIP: If you are having trouble putting on the head, try flying up in Creative mode or stand on something in Survival mode.

The snow golem will spawn and begin to move around. As it moves around your world, it will leave a trail of snow.

3. Use the Shears

Finally, use the shears on the snow golem to remove the pumpkin head and reveal the traditional snow man head.
