Instructions:
Start out by painting the paper towel roll white. Use round items to cover the ends. This can be lids, circles cut out of cardboard, etc. Paint these if necessary.

Anneliese decorated her snowman using tiny pine cones, a plastic flower pot for the hat, seeds for buttons, wooden heart, and Spanish moss. You can use anything you have laying around to decorate your snowman!
