What You'll Need
STEP 1
Use white 3-D paint to add dots of snow to the background of your picture.
STEP 2
Use the glue to "draw" three circles on the blue construction paper
as an outline of your snowman. Fill the circles in with glue.
STEP 3
Stick cotton balls in the glue circles to form your snowman.
STEP 4
Cut a pipe cleaner in half and glue them on either side of the
middle circle.
STEP 5
Cut a pair of gloves out of the green felt for the snowman's mittens
and glue over the pipe cleaners.
STEP 6
Cut a longer and shorter rectangle out of green felt. Glue the
longer rectangle over the "neck" of the snowman. Glue the shorter
rectangle over the longer one at a slight angle so that it looks like
the scarf has been wrapped around the snowman. Cut slits in the
ends of the green rectangles.
STEP 7
Glue two eyes onto the snowman.
STEP 8
Cut a small triangle out of orange felt and glue into place under
the eyes.
STEP 9
Cut a "C" shape out of black felt and glue into place under the nose
as the snowman's mouth.
STEP 10
Cut a hat out of black felt and glue to the top of the snowman's
head. Add a strip of red ribbon in the middle of the hat.
STEP 11
Glue on 3 buttons.
