Gather all supplies. Download, print and cut out the ROPE SNOWMAN BASE PATTERN. Trace the semi-circle pattern onto cardboard with a pencil.

Cut out the semi-circle Rope Snowman base pattern with scissors. The rope is pretty heavy, so corrugated cardboard makes the best base. This size snowman will require 2 packages of cotton nautical rope.

Dry fit the rope around the base, and using a ruler, measure 12” from the top of the snowman to the bottom.

Trim the first section of rope with scissors. Attach the rope to the carboard base using a glue gun and glue sticks. If using liquid craft glue, please allow additional time for drying.

Dry fit the next section of rope. Attach with a glue gun and glue sticks. Trim the cotton rope with scissors.

Continue adding additional sections of rope. Securing with a glue gun and glue sticks.

Lay the snowman flat on your work surface and using scissors, trim the ends as even as possible.

Unravel each section of rope by hand, leaving the lengths curly.

Give the ends of the cotton rope a final trim with scissors.

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.

Select 2 large black buttons for the snowman eyes and 6 medium black buttons for the mouth. Attach the buttons and carrot nose with a glue gun and glue stick.

Snip and rip plaid fabric into two strips that are approximately 2” wide by 18” long. Cut into the edge of the fabric ½” with scissors, then tear the fabric into strips. This will produce a frayed edge.

Glue the 2 short ends of the fabric strips together to create one 36” length of fabric which will become the snowman’s scarf.

Wrap with the plaid fabric around the snowman’s neck, securing with a glue gun and glue sticks. Trim any long ends of fabric with scissors.

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

Attach the wooden snowflake to the snowman’s body with a glue gun and glue sticks.

To finish, measure a 12” length of natural jute twine and cut with scissors. Flip the snowman over and attach the jute twine hanger to the cardboard with a glue gun and glue sticks.
