- 4 pieces cut from a 2x4 (3 for the snowman body and 1 for the snowman hat) The lengths that I used are approximately 5 inches, 4 1/2 inches 4 inches and 3 1/2 inches (I used the bottom two blocks horizontally, and the top snowman block and hat vertically)
- 2 black buttons for eyes
- 1 nose cut from a trim piece (approximately 2 1/2 x1/4 - I found this piece of wood at our Lowes in the same place as the dowel rods)
- 1 hat brim cut from that same piece of trim, approximately 4 inches in length
- ribbon(s) for the scarf
- wooden clothespin
- scrapbook paper
- white, black and orange craft paint
- E6000 glue
- Notch each corner of the snowman body wooden blocks to give them a slightly rounded look
- Sand each piece well
- Paint the snowman body 2 coats of white craft paint
- Paint the snowman nose 2 coats of orange craft paint
- Paint the hat pieces 2 coats of black craft paint
- Using E6000 glue, adhere the 2 black buttons and 'carrot' nose onto the snowman's top block and let dry several hours
- Using E6000 glue, adhere the blocks together and let dry overnight
- Cut scrapbook paper to fit the wooden clothespin
- Using hot glue, adhere the scrapbook paper to the wooden clothespin
- Using E6000 glue, adhere the wooden clothespin the the snowman
- Tie ribbon(s) around the snowman's 'neck'
This is so adorable! I can't wait to try to make this.
