Supplies:
Bit and Pieces- Red Snowflakes
Straight pin
Christmas Picks
Styrofoam Balls- You will need the following sizes
8 inch
6 inch
4 inch
Styrofoam ring
Tub-O-Snow
Ribbon
Rhinestones
Black Brads
Glue gun and glue sticks
Orange Paint
Dowel (for his nose)

Instructions:
First cut the top of the biggest ball so that the middle ball will sit on it and not look funny.
Cut the top of the middle ball so the head will sit good and be solid on the body.
Next glue the bottom of the snowman to the ring and Glue the middle ball to the bottom of the snowman.
Now you can glue the head to the body and your snowman will start to look like a snowman at this point.
With your Tub-O-Snow you will need to use a good amount on the bottom of the snowman and around the ring.
I used about a yard of ribbon to tie a scarf around the neck of my snowman.
For his face I used black brads for his eyes and for his mouth.
Add buttons by using a pin and put it through the center of the snowflake. If you would like you can add a little glue using your glue gun.
Next you will need to add snowflakes around the base and embellish the center with a Rhinestone.
For his arms i added a branch from a tree. If you would like you can also use a dowel and paint it brown. Either one looks darling.
I also added a few Christmas picks around my snowman's base to get that Christmas look.
For his nose I paint a dowel orange and then cut off the amount I thought was good for his nose.. This is a cute little nose for your snowman.
You can add more snow if you would like to your snowman. This will take a little while to dry so you will need to set it aside.

This is a darling snowman that would be great for a center piece on your table or just decor for your house. Have fun creating!
