Top Tip
To keep the black foam strip in place as it dries, use paper clips to hold the two ends together. Alternatively, hot glue is also an option for adults.
How to Make
- Paint the cardboard tube white and leave it to dry.
- Apply another coat if required. Carefully poke two holes in both sides of the cardboard tube with a pencil.
- Thread a brown pipe cleaner through the hole and bend it so that it forms the arms of the snowman.
- Twist two smaller pieces of pipe cleaner around the ends to form a fork.
- Draw and cut out a small triangle of orange foam and stick it to the front of the cardboard tube in the centre of the arms.
- Stick two self-adhesive wiggly eyes over the triangle.
- Dab small dots of black paint in a curved pattern under the orange triangle. Leave the snowman to dry first.
- Draw a circle on black foam that is slightly larger than the cardboard tube and cut it out.
- Draw a smaller circle and cut out a long, thick strip of foam long enough to wrap around the circumference of the smaller circle.
- Glue the two ends of the foam strip together and hold it in place while it dries.
- Once it is firmly in place, glue the large and small foam circles to the top and bottom of the pipe. Leave it to dry.
- Cut a strip of red felt long enough to completely wrap around the cardboard tube.
- Cut two smaller strips of green felt that are the same width as the red felt.
- Glue the green felt to the ends of the red felt strip.
- Allow the glue to dry and become tacky before cutting small strips into the green felt.
- Wrap the finished scarf around the snowman and glue it in place.
- Glue 2 small black pom-poms to the front of the snowman, underneath the felt scarf.
- Glue the hat to the top of the snowman too.
- Make sure that the glue on the snowman dries completely.
