to make into snowman here are just a few.
I will have more blogs full of snowman projects; that, I will send out
at a later time.

Clay Pot
Snowman
Materials: Tiny clay pot, acrylic paint, ribbon or thread for hanging, scraps of
fleece or felt, tiny pom-poms tiny rubber band, glitter or Epson salt, and a
needle and thread.
Directions:
Start
by painting your clay pot white. Do two
coats of paint. Take a felt or fleece
scrap approximately 3 x 6 inches in size (it needs to be large enough to wrap
around your clay pot toward the top (actually the bottom) with room for
stitching. There will be lots of excess
over the top of the clay pot.
Fold your fabric in half
and stitch along the short side as shown.
Trim the excess close
to the seam and turn inside out. It should look like this. Set
aside. Now, back to working on your clay pot. Paint the rim as desired
(this is the scarf of the snowman). Once dry, you'll want to prepare it
for hanging. You'll need approximately 7" of ribbon. Fold in
half as shown and feed the ribbon through the bottom hole. Use a washer
to keep it from going through.
Place your clay pot
face down with the ribbon through the top. (Don't worry that your washer
is resting on the table.)
Slide your felt or
fleece tube over the ribbon onto your clay pot. Fold up the lower edge and
rubber-band or tie tightly the upper-most portion of the tube. Pull up on your
hanging ribbon. It should now be secure. Take a sharp pair of scissors and trim
little notches in the gathered felt on top as shown.
Use pom-poms for the
nose (you could also use paint or tiny buttons or beads). Paint the eyes
and mouth (or use a fine point Sharpie see below).
Decide one of your snowmen looks like he could use some ear
muffs (larger pom-pom cut in half).
If you choose to
glitter or cover your snowman with "snow" (Epsom salt), you'll want
to do so before adhering the pom-poms (or you'll need to
take them off and move the hats slightly off the clay pot before coating
with glue). Sprinkle with snow or glitter. Replace hat &
pom-poms. Enjoy!
