Cost: $6-7

Equipment

  • X-ACTO knife
  • scissors
  • glue gun and glue sticks
  • paint brush and/or foam brush

Ingredients

  • white acrylic paint
  • 2 foam pumpkins
  • mod podge
  • 1 small bag fake snow
  • 9 buttons black and/or red
  • small scarf, fabric, or wide ribbon
  • 1 mini top hat  Optional -decorative accents for the hat like a christmas ribbon or a Christmas pick
  • 1 easter twine carrot
  • 1 toothpick

Instructions

  • Paint the pumpkins white.  Let it dry. You may need to do multiple coats to fully cover the pumpkin. I recommend white chalk paint as it has better coverage.
  • Coat the pumpkin in Mod Podge using a foam brush and sprinkle on fake snow. Work in sections at a time so the Mod Podge doesn't have time to dry. Keep going until the pumpkin is completely coated in snow. Let it dry.
  • Wrap the scarf around the snowman's neck. If you are using a piece of fabric, you will need to measure and cut the correct length for the snowman.
  • Glue down the buttons for the eyes, mouth and shirt using a glue gun.
  • Glue any decorative accents that you want to add to your mini hat.
  • Cut the twine carrot in half with the X-ACTO knife and glue down the twine so it doesn’t unravel.
  • Insert half the toothpick into the foam center of the carrot. Push the other half of the toothpick into the snowman where his nose should be.
