Materials

  • 3 foam or lightweight plastic round containers (sizes: 12", 10", and 8" diameter)
  • 1 large black felt top hat (about 10" tall)
  • 1 orange foam cone (2”) for nose

  • Artificial pine branches, red berries, and pinecones

Instructions

  • Stack and glue the three foam containers from largest to smallest to form the snowman’s body. Let the glue dry completely for stability.
  • Wrap the scarf snugly around the neck section and secure it with a small dab of glue if needed.
  • Use the buttons to create a smiling face and a vertical row down the body. Then attach with hot glue.
  • Insert twigs into each side of the middle section forarms, you can glue them in place for added support.
  • Decorate the hat by gluing pine sprigs, berries, and pinecones around the brim, and attach the yellow felt star at the front.
  • Finish the scene by placing a small burlap sack labeled bird seed and adding a faux bird or two for a heartwarming touch.
