Snowman Belly Ornament

You may have seen the trend of Santa's Belly craft projects around, including our Santa's Belly Treat Cups. Well I got to thinking that snowmen were getting the short end of the stick, so I created these Snowman Belly Ornaments complete with glittery mittens!

You will need

• Styrofoam ball
• Ornament hanger from a broken or missing ornament
• Instant grab glue
• Sno-Tex snow texture paint
• Paintbrush
• 3 green buttons
• 2 shades of blue felt
• Blue glitter
• White craft glue
• Styrofoam cup to use as a stand

What you do

Add some instant grab glue (I use Beacon's 3-in-1) to the ornament hanger (save these from ball ornaments that accidentally break) and insert into the Styrofoam ball.

Poke a hole (about the size of a dime) in the bottom of the Styrofoam cup and stand the cup upside down. This will be your stand.

Use a paintbrush to cover the ball in Sno-Tex.

When ball is covered, gently press the 3 buttons into the wet Sno-Tex.Gently rest the wet ornament on the Styrofoam cup to dry.

Meanwhile, make the mittens. Cut two mitten shapes and two cuffs from felt. Glue the cuffs to the mittens.

Pipe some white glue around the border of each mitten and all over the cuff. Use a thin paintbrush, toothpick or pencil point to spread the glue so that you have even lines.

Sprinkle with glitter and wait several minutes before lifting and tapping off excess.

When Sno-Tex is dry (this will take a couple of hours), using instant grab glue to attach the mittens to the ornament.
