Look at this cute little guy (or gal) snowman ornament tutorial I came across! Cuteness!
Super easy, super quick and using just scraps from your scrap bag! I love it!
See the little noses used for the snowmen in the picture above? In this tutorial, she uses clay - which is awesome, works great. But I have a quick tip to share from my craft show days. Buying a chunk of clay might not make sense when you have only a few of these snowmen to make up and finding the orange clay this time of year in certain areas may be challenging. So - go to your local dollar store and buy a package of either round toothpicks or a package of small diameter wooden food skewers. Either work great and you can use a simple crafting knife or a utility knife to carefully cut the wooden pieces to the length you need (please be careful!) Then just paint them! Or if you wanted to be a bit more rustic and still can see the bare earth (for those of us in the snow-covered regions of the USA this might be impossible!) find a few small twigs outside, cut them to length and paint!
Enjoy and happy creating!
