Chunky Yarn Snowman
Learn how to make an adorable snowman from craft foam wrapped in soft, chunky yarn. This is an easy Christmas craft for adults you can complete in about an hour.
Equipment
- Hot Glue Gun
Ingredients
- 1 Styrofoam Ball
- 1 Styrofoam Cone
- White Chunky Yarn
- Ribbon
- Black Buttons 2 small, 2 medium
- Orange Felt and orange embroidery thread if desired
- Sticks
- Christmas Boot ornaments
- Accent Gems/Floral Weights optional
Instructions
- Glue the styrofoam ball on top of the styrofoam cone.
- Starting at the top, glue chunky yarn to the styrofoam ball in a spiral, covering the entire surface of the ball. Continue gluing yarn around the ball, and then down the cone. At the bottom, cut the yarn and glue the tail to the bottom of the cone.
- Fold a piece of orange felt in half to create two layers. Cut a nose shape from both laters. Either glue the layers together or use embroidery thread to stitch them together.
- Tie ribbon around the neck as a scarf. Glue small buttons on as eyes, and glue on the nose.
- Glue medium buttons on the body. Press sticks into the side of the body, in between layers of yarn, for arms.
- Glue the boots to each other and fill with accent gems/floral weights. Glue boots to the bottom of the snowman.
- While glue is setting up, stand the snowman up and make sure it is level.
