Difficulty level: Beginner
Time to complete: 45 minutes
Age range: 8 and up
Things you’ll need:
White yarn
Pompom maker
Large beads
Gold spray paint
Gold metallic cord
Scissors
Hot glue gun and glue sticks
Things to do:
- First, determine how long you want your garland to be. You’ll need a snowball every 5 inches.
- Paint your large beads gold and set them aside until dry.
- String 5-inches of beads onto your gold cord.
- Attach a pompom with hot glue directly to the cord.
- Repeat steps 3-4 until the entire length of garland is covered. Leave roughly 6-inches of cord at either end to tie in a loop to create a hanger.
2. Twist your black wire into arms for your snowman. Insert the arms on both sides of the 4-inch ball.
3. Hot glue the three balls together and let the glue dry completely.
4. Cut a 2″ strip of felt and glue it into a hat shape. Trace around it to cut the top felt. Then cut a 4″ circle for the brim. Glue together and trim any excess edges.
5. Add a 3/4 ” band of grey felt around the base of the hat.
7. Tie the burlap ribbon scarf around the neck.
8. Knot the ends of a piece of string together, creating a loop. Push it down into the back of the head and secure with a florist pin for hanging.
