Snowman Craft



These snowmen are so easy to make.

Supplies:

Men's white ankle sock
fiber fill
scrap material
buttons
permanent marker
glue

Fill the sock with fiber fill.



Tuck the ends of the sock up into the snowman.



Cut a piece of fabric 1" x 14" tie around snowman's neck. Pull tight enough to create the head of the snowman.

Cut a rectangle of fabric 2 1/2 times the width of the snowman's head and 7" tall.

Fold the fabric in half and sew up the width, using 5/8" seam allowance. Fold up one edge 1/2" twice. This will form the bottom rim of the hat.

Place the hat on the snowman. Use string to tie the hat closed at the top. I also tied raffia over the string, for a more festive look.

Use permanent marker to draw nose, eyes, and mouth on the snowman.

Glue buttons on the body of the snowman.

Katie is taking the project for a homeless shelter Christmas party that she is doing with Hands on Battle Creek. This was one of her favorite crafts as a youngster.
