Materials:
Old Pillow
Orange Felt
Orange Thread
Black Buttons
Hat (I ordered one from Amazon.)
White pillowcase
Black Thread
Fabric Glue
Polyfill (I cheated and used cotton balls.)
Scarf' (Mine is from the dollar store.)
Any other accessories you want
Rubber band
How To:
1. Use the rubber band to tie the pillow case up.
2. Tie the scarf about 1/3 of the pillow's length below the rubber band.
3. Use the fabric glue to tentatively glue on the buttons where you want them.
4. Trace a cone net onto the orange felt. Cut it out and put it together. Stuff with polyfill.
5. Glue this onto the snowman.
6. I recommend sewing the buttons and nose onto the snowman as it will make everything more permanent.
7. Add your embellishments.
Verdict:
4 stars - This was a relatively easy project to complete. It is time consuming to make though (or just seemed like it since I only worked on it in small increments over a long period of time). My goal was to get it done in January but that didn't happen. At least my snowman is ready for Valentine's Day. At the dollar store, I picked up a St. Patrick's Day scarf and hat. This simple change will keep my snowman able to be up a couple months a year.
