Christmas<br />
snowman<br />
Bring Frosty inside<br />
with this brrrr-illiant<br />
craft idea that all<br />
the family can get<br />
involved in making.<br />
YOU WILL NEED<br />
3 Styrofoam balls (1 large, 1<br />
medium & 1 small)<br />
Pleated cotton wool<br />
PVA glue<br />
Small black eyes or black<br />
headed pins<br />
Twigs for arms<br />
2 cocktail sticks<br />
Craft knife & pokey tool<br />
Black, red & yellow card<br />
Pom Poms (1 orange and 2<br />
black)<br />
Glitter<br />
Knitting Nancy & wool<br />
Cheap hairspray & wire<br />
METHOD<br />
Using your craft knife, carefully<br />
take off the bottom of the large<br />
and medium balls to create a flat<br />
bottom. Use cocktail sticks and<br />
glue to fasten the balls together.<br />
Separate the pleats of cotton<br />
wool into thin layers and glue<br />
onto each ball. Press firmly into<br />
the joining sections and set aside<br />
to dry.<br />
Spray each section with<br />
hairspray and sprinkle with glitter.<br />
Stretch and roll an orange<br />
pom pom into a pointed nose<br />
shape and glue to the centre of<br />
the head. Glue eyes in place.<br />
To make the hat, cut two<br />
circles from black card one<br />
smaller than the other. Cut a 6cm<br />
wide strip long enough to go<br />
around the smallest circle. Score<br />
this piece 1.5cm in from each<br />
side and snip to make tabs. Fold<br />
inwards and carefully glue each<br />
tab around the small circle. Let<br />
dry then repeat with the large<br />
circle.<br />
Using a pokey tool, make a<br />
hole at each side of the body and<br />
glue the twigs in place for arms.<br />
Fasten a piece of wire between<br />
the twigs and decorate with<br />
yellow stars.<br />
To finish, add a strip of red<br />
card and holly to the hat, two<br />
pom poms to the chest and<br />
blusher to the cheeks.<br />
Use a knitting nancy and wool<br />
to make a scarf.<br />
Your snowman is now<br />
complete<br />
Happy Crafting!<br />
