Instructions
To make the snowman’s body:
1. Turn terry lined sock inside out so the terry is on the outside
and fill the sock ¾ full with approximately 1 ½ cups of rice.
2. Using string, tie the sock at the top of the rice line to create a
neck, and then stuff the top with fiberfill and tie off with string
to create a head.
To make the snowman’s arms:
1. Twist the ends of two 12” wires together or use 24”.
2. Leave 4” in the center straight and wind the ends around a
pencil to create a spiral.
3. Remove the pencil and twist the straight center around the
neck; the coiled ends are now the snowman’s arms.
To make the snowman’s nose, eyes, hat, and mittens:
1. Cut a small piece orange pipe cleaner and bend it into a
carrot shape for the nose. Glue to the head to create a nose.
2. Cut two small pieces of fabric for mittens. Glue to the end of
the coiled wire to create hands.
3. Cut the ribbed infant sock to create the hat. Glue the cut end
closed to create the top of the hat. Decorate the cut end with
rolled up fabric. Glue the hat to the top of the snowman’s
head.
4. Tie a 1” X13” piece of fabric around the snowman’s neck to
create a scarf.
5. Glue on items for eyes and buttons, and any other flare you
would like to add to your snowman.
