Snowman Block CraftStep 1: Getting Started
Difficulty: Easy
You will need:
- terra cotta pots
- acrylic paint: white, black, orange, pink
- scrapbook paper
- scissors
- Mod Podge or white craft glue
- black Sharpie marker
- pom poms and ribbon for earmuffs OR
- old glove or sock and ribbon for hat
- instant grab glue
Step 2: Next Step
Paint terra cotta pots white and set aside to dry.
Measure the rim of the terra cotta pot, then cut scrapbook paper strips in that width. Use a paintbrush to add Mod Podge or watered down white glue to the rim, then press the paper onto the rim. You will have to hold the paper in place for a minute until the glue grabs. Set aside to dry.
Step 3: Next Step
Meanwhile, make a hat by cutting the fingers off of a knit glove.
When the pot is dry pipe some instant grab glue around the bottom of the terra cotta pot. Pull the elastic wristband of the glove over the bottom end of the pot. Fold the wristband upward to look like the brim of a winter hat.
Step 4: Almost Done!
Tie a ribbon around the open end of the glove and tie in a knot, then tie a bow.
To make earmuffs, glue ribbon and pom poms to the pot instead. Dip a small scruffy paintbrush into pink paint and dab off the excess until the brush is just about dry. Dab on the cheeks with the dry pink brush.
Add nose with a liner brush and orange paint. Add the facial features with the handle end of a paintbrush dipped in black paint (dotted mouth and eyes) and a Sharpie marker (wiggly smile).
Let everything dry then put a light coat of Mod Podge over the face and other white areas, taking care not to hit the hat or ear muffs.
