I volunteered to make some snowmen for the children's Christmas party on base this year. Their theme was Frosty. They has some large cardboard circles & wanted some snowmen for the party.
I started with these...
12 foam board circles about the height of my kitchen counter.
I started by cutting appropriate sized circles for the stomach and head. Everyone knows snowmen have different sized balls (that was not potty humor)
Then I attached batting to the fronts to look like snow.
Gabby & Ken helped me over thanksgiving break with the cutting and hot gluing.
Ken cut some wooden stakes and nailed the balls on for me.
I assembled the rest in my kitchen- it got a little creepy at times!
I bought camouflage fleece, used sticky felt for their faces, and a real carrot for the nose. Ken had the idea to screw through the back of the face and twist the carrot on the screw- worked great!
Here are the snowmen...
