Snowperson Magnet or Pin
You will need:
- 3 white pom-poms
- 2 wiggle eyes
- 1 red sock or some red felt
- Black felt
- A thin marker to trace the shape on the felt
- Tacky glue or hot glue
- Tip of an orange crayon, or a piece of Fimo clay, felt, or construction paper
- A popsicle stick or piece of cardboard
- A magnet strip with adhesive, or a jewelry pin
Here is what you do:
- Take the 3 pom-poms and glue them to the popsicle stick. (See photo.)
- Take the red sock and cut it into strips for the scarf.
- Tie the "scarf" around the snowman's neck.
- Glue on wiggle eyes.
- Cut buttons out of scraps of black felt and glue on to the snowman.
- Depending on the type of nose you want for your snowman, glue on a tip of a crayon, shape
a piece of Fimo clay into a carrot shape, or cut some orange
felt or construction paper. Glue it on to the snowman's face.
- Cut a rectangle 3" x 4" long out of black felt.
- Glue the short ends together to make the hat.
- Trace around the top of the hat to make a circle to fit. Cut out
and glue on one end of the hat.
- Trace around the bottom of the hat, making the circle slightly
larger to make the brim. Cut out.
- Stuff the hat lightly with felt scraps to help it keep the shape.
- Glue the brim to the bottom of the hat.
- Glue the hat onto the snowman's head and anchor onto the popsicle stick.
- Glue a magnet strip to the back of the popsicle stick.
- When everything is dry, put the magnet on your refrigerator and enjoy!
If you want to make a pin, sew or glue the jewelry pin onto the back of the snowman.
