Instructions:
Paint the pine cone white. This will be your snow person's body. Glue the white pom-pom onto the pinty top of the pine cone for your snow person's head. Find two tiny twigs and glue them in place for the snow person's arms.
I made my snow person's face using an orange pipe cleaner as the nose, seed beads to form the mouth, and slightly larger beads for the eyes.
For the hat, I trimmed one edge of the red pom-pom and glued it on. I make a ball on the red hat with a small, green pom-pom. I wrapped about a 6 inch piece of ribbon around the neck.
Get creative and make a variety of snow people for winter decorating. They also make neat Christmas tree decorations and gifts!
A variation from K Creamer: "Here is what I used:
- 2 wiggly eyes,
- 1 long pipe cleaner
- 1/4 of a pipe cleaner - for the ear muffs
- 4 mini pom poms
- 1 styrofoam ball - based on the size of your pinecone
- 1 mini icicle ornament - for the nose
- either a bow made from ribbon or a scarf made from felt or think ribbon
- White Spray Paint
- Orange paint for the nose
- Tacky Glue
