Instructions

STEP ONE

  • Gather all supplies. In a well-ventilated are (or outside) coat the metal canning jar rings with white spray paint. Use several light layers instead of one heavy layer of paint. Set aside to dry. You will need 16 rings to complete the snowman head, and 16 rings to complete the snowman body.

STEP TWO

  • Once dry, measure and cut a 24” length of natural jute twine.

STEP THREE

  • String on 16 of the canning jar rings, making sure they are all facing in the same direction.

STEP FOUR

  • Gather both ends of the twine and tie tightly, around the center of the rings, creating a circle. Secure the twine with a double knot. Trim the long ends of the twine with scissors.

STEP FIVE

  • Position the rings until you are pleased with their circular shape. Repeat with the second set of 16 canning jar rings.

STEP SIX

  • Stack the snowman head and body on top of each other and secure with a glue gun and glue sticks. If using liquid craft glue, please allow additional time for drying.

STEP SEVEN

  • Snip and rip plaid fabric into a strip that is approximately 3” wide by 24” long. Cut into the fabric ½” with scissors, the tear the fabric into strips. This will produce a frayed edge.

STEP EIGHT

  • Tie the plaid fabric around the snowman’s neck to create the scarf. Trim any long ends of the fabric with scissors.

STEP NINE

  • 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.

STEP TEN

  • Select 4 large black buttons for the snowman eyes and buttons. Attach the buttons and carrot nose with a glue gun and glue stick.

STEP ELEVEN

  • Basecoat a small wooden snowflake with light blue acrylic craft paint. Let dry, and apply a second coat, if necessary.

STEP TWELVE

  • To finish, attach the wooden snowflake to the bottom right side of the snowman with a glue gun and glue sticks.
