Materials

  • Wooden frame or shadow box (10×14 inches)
  • Burlap or drop cloth fabric strips (about 3 yards total, 2 inches wide)
  • Hot glue gun and glue sticks
  • 5-6 black buttons (¾ inch)
  • Orange fabric scrap (for nose, 4×4 inches)
  • Small pinecone and plaid ribbon (about 12 inches)
  • Black marker or paint for the mouth
  • Decorative mesh or lace fabric (optional for scarf accent)

Instructions

  • Cut your fabric into long strips. Twist and roll each strip into a spiral, gluing as you go to form two round rosettes including one for the snowman’s head and one for his body. The head should be about 5 inches wide, and the body about 7 inches.
  • Glue the two fabric rosettes vertically onto the wooden frame to create the snowman’s shape.
  • Attach two black buttons for the eyes and three more for the body. Then use black paint or a marker to draw a small curved smile beneath the eyes.
  • Twist the orange fabric into a cone shape to form the carrot nose. Glue it securely to the snowman’s face.
  • Tie a short piece of plaid ribbon around the neck area for a scarf. You can add the pinecone and decorative mesh at one side for a cozy touch.
  • Finish by brushing a little white paint or fake snow on the pinecone for a frosty look, then place your framed snowman on display.
