Materials List
- 3 Styrofoam balls
- Wooden skewers
- Ribbon
- Mod Podge
- Glitter
- Twigs
- Embellishment for hat
Instructions:
-
The wood skewers poke right through the styrofoam to make the perfect snowman body.
-
We coated the entire snowman body with Mod Podge.
-
Then, we dusted the body with glitter for a sparkly snow effect. After the Mod Podge and glitter were dry, we simply painted on the carrot nose and coal eyes and mouth, wrapped a little ribbon around the neck and poked some twigs in for arms.
-
At the last minute, we grabbed a little twisty piece of potpourri for the hat… cute, huh?
