Dec. 3, 2008 - Snowman Craft

Materials Needed: 2 inch Terra Cotta Clay Pot 1 1/2 inch Wooden Ball Head Orange Pipe Cleaner Small Buttons Twigs Paint Clear Acrylic Sealer Spray Glue (hot glue gun preferred)

Instructions: Wipe down your terra cotta pot with a damp cloth and let dry completely. Paint the clay pot and the wooden ball head white. Put them aside to dry. Once the paint is dry, glue the wooden ball onto the bottom of the clay pot (figure 1). Paint a face on the wooden ball (figure 2). Once all your paint is dry, spray it with the clear acrylic sealer.   Cut off about 1/2 inch from the orange pipe cleaner and glue it on for the snow person's nose. Glue the two buttons onto the clay pot. For the arms, find two small twigs and glue them in place. Your snow person is now complete.   - See a photo of this craft completed by Thomas C. from NY - See a larger photo of this craft completed by Your Family Crafts Guide.

That looks like a really fun craft! I think I might even have different sizes of cups-- maybe we could make a snowman family around here. :-)

Very cute craft! I like snowman themed decorations. Strange considering I don't like snow. It's too cold for me.
