Snowman Decorations

Here are some quick ideas for Christmas snowman.  I did some previously; but, found some more ideas.

Paint Stick Snowman

Materials:  wooden paint stir stick painted white. 3″ x 3″ piece of felt for hat, 8″ x 1″ strip of material or felt, 3 buttons or pony beads, 1/2 of an orange toothpick, 6″ piece of yarn, white craft glue, scissors, black marker or black paint, and hot glue gun

Directions:  Wrap 3″x3″ fabric around the top of the stick and hot glue together in the back. If you have more time, you can use white craft glue or felt glue and attach a wooden clothespin to the stick and hat to hold it in place while it dries. Tie yarn around the top of the hat and trim ends. Fringe the top of the hat with scissors if you like.

Wrap 8″x1″ strip of material around the neck, tie in a knot. Fringe the ends with scissors.

Use white craft glue to attach 3 buttons or beads below the scarf and glue the orange toothpick on for the nose. Use black marker, or a toothpick dipped in black paint to create the mouth and eyes.

Let everything dry.
