Supplies: Spun Cotton Pieces to Make Snowmen: Balls, Heads, Bodies, Noses, Hands
Bases: Dresden Medallions or Spun Cotton 1/2 Balls
Hats: Plastic or Spun Cotton
Scarf Material: Tiny Tinsel Chenille, Velvet Bows and 1/8" Ribbon, Wired Chenille Roping
Buttons: Dresden Stars or Tiny Spun Cotton Balls
Items to Hold: Velvet Leaves, Berries, Mushrooms, Pine Sprigs, Stamen, Flowers
Additional supplies: Hot Glue or Clear-drying Glue (like Elmer's or Alleen's Tacky Glue), Scissors, Paint, Paint Brush, Pipe cleaners or Skewers,
Step 1: Paint spun cotton buttons and stovepipe hats using a skewer or pipe cleaner as a handle and let dry. We used black paint to imitate coal.
Step 2: Begin to assemble basic snowman shapes. Glue head + ball (body) + base (like below left). Glue nose + body + Dresden medallion (like below middle). Or glue tiny ball nose + head + ball (body) + Dresden medallion (like below right). We will add hands later.
Step 3: Add a scarf. Wired Chenille: A wired chenille scarf works best on all snowman assemblies, especially ball head + ball body as it fits nicely in the "neck" space. Cut a 6-7" piece of wired chenille, wrap it around the neck then twist it twice (like closing a twist tie) to secure. Trim ends as desired and bend wires for character (like a wind-swept look).
Tips: Use the end of a paintbrush to gently press into the stovepipe hat base to create a depression. This will allow it to sit better on the round head.
Snowmen are equally adorable whether holding a single item or a mix. Try having him hold just one statement item like a colorful mushroom.
Adding the scarf early in the assembly is intentional -- it's much easier to determine hand and button placement when you already know the scarf location.
Use a tiny round ball as a snowball nose: The same size ball used for buttons also double as a nose.
It is not necessary to paint the white spun cotton pieces that will remain white. We only painted the coal buttons and stovepipe hat.
