How to Make a Snowman with Old Sunglasses
- Sunglasses
- Pom Poms
- Black Buttons
- Chenille Stem
- Plaid Fabric
- Orange Craft Felt
- Craft Paint in White, Black, Pink
- Glue Gun and Glue Sticks
- Paintbrush
- Scissors
Instructions:
Gather all supplies. Basecoat the lens of the sunglasses with white acrylic craft paint. Let the paint dry.
Paint a second and third coat of white acrylic craft paint on the sunglass lens. Set aside to dry between coats.
Using scissors, cut out a carrot shape from orange craft felt. Colored cardstock, heavy fabric, or craft foam would work for this project as well.
Attach the carrot nose with a glue gun and glue sticks.
Stamp two eyes and a mouth onto the snowman by dipping the end of a paintbrush black acrylic craft paint. Create a cheek by dotting with the end of a paintbrush and pink acrylic craft paint. Let dry.
Add a highlight in the snowman’s eyes by dipping the end of a paintbrush in white acrylic craft paint and dotting in the upper right.
Snip and rip plaid fabric into two strips that are approximately 1” wide by 8” long. Cut into the edge of the fabric ½” with scissors, then tear the fabric into strips. This will produce a frayed edge. Tie the fabric around the snowman’s neck and secure with glue.
Measure and a 6” length of chenille stem and glue to both sides of the snowman’s head. Attach a pom pom to right and left sides of the snowman’s head with a glue gun and glue sticks. Select 2 small black buttons and glue to the snowman’s body.
