I just finished putting away my Christmas decorations and thought I would post pictures of some of the snowmen I've made in the past.
This one is made of muslin, felt hat, fabric scarf, wood heart buttons,
twigs and a painted face.
Rolled up batting. Purchased felt hat. Big, honking nose made from styrofoam,
twig arms, buttons for eyes.
This one made from round wood boxes. Just paint with a little fabric for his
hat and scarf and buttons.
I love this one. My husband used his band saw to cut it out and I made these for all my kids teachers throughout the years. I stained the top part. The snowman is painted with white textured paint for the snow and he has a paper twist scarf.
I made this at a ladies craft night at our church. The lady who taught the class
cut them out for us. He is holding a little broom in his one hand!
This one is just a 1x6 painted white (black at the top) with a piece of thin wood for the brim. He has button eyes and mouth. I just noticed he's lost a few buttons on his tummy. I used textured paint on him and a fabric scarf. His nose is a dowel I whittled at the tip that is way too big for his face!
This one is my favorite. The Weber snow family. I made it from a pattern
using white flannel and batting. Fabric scarves, one hat is made with felt
the other from a sock, buttons, and a sharpie:)
You can tell I made it a while ago because Michael is now taller than my husband Frank, Thomas is as tall as Frank, and Jocelyn is as tall as I am! Even with Michael married almost 3 years now I can't bring myself to change it. I know I should either re-do the whole thing and add Michaels wife or take Michael off. But I tell you it is still very weird for me not to write Michaels name when I sign Christmas cards so for now I guess it will stay like this. Has anyone else felt like that?
Thanks for visiting!
Blessings!
