What you do
Body & Head
Open hat and add 2-3 handfuls of rice, then fill with Fiberfil stuffing.
The rice will help the snowman to "stand up". Using child sized sock, fill
with Fiberfil for head.Tuck open end of sock into open end of hat. Gather
open end of hat and tie with a piece of gold cord or yarn. Trim ends
so that strands cannot be seen. Secure the head into the neck with hot glue.
Hat
Trim hand section of mitten or glove off. Place cuff over head and roll
up for hat brim. Secure in place with hot glue. From the cut end
of the glove/mitten, add some Fiberfil to give the hat some body, tie
off top with gold cord.
Face & Finishing Touches
Draw on eyes and mouth with marker by carefully dotting onto sock face. Hot
glue on orange pom pom for a nose. Hot glue black bow tie under chin
area. Note: We found our bow tie on a velvet hat at a thrift store. Glue
buttons in place, alternating green then red. Done!
