Snowman Love

Hi everyone! Can you believe Christmas is only nine days away?!!?!? YIKES!!! I have been shopping, wrapping presents and crafting up a storm and I’m still not finished. I decided to take a break and share a snowman I created using a Smooth Foam ball I had received in package of ornaments a month or so ago.
I started out by applying two coats of gesso to the ball and then painting with some white acrylic paint. I lightly penciled in the eyes and mouth. Painted the mouth with black and “pounced” the cheeks with a light pink acrylic paint, adhered two black Dew Drops to the ball for the eyes and shaped a carrot nose from Sculpey clay and then baked it.

The chipboard snowflake cut out I painted with white paint and then added a fine glitter to it. I gessoed a bottle cap which I used as the “neck” of my snowman.

I used an old sheet of music to make a cone hat for my little snowman fellow. Added some silver tinsel, button, mini snowflake and a white Dew Drop to it. I set the hat aside and then covered the whole snowman head and scarf with fine glitter. Let dry and then glue the cone hat to the snowman.

I plan on adding this little fellow to my collections of other snowmen that I have on the fireplace mantle.

AquaMarine Glitter Sorbet Cardstock

Black Dew Drops

Smooth Foam Ball

Chipboard Snowflake Shape

Bottle Cap

Fine Glitter

Vintage Sheet of Music

Tinsel

Round and Snowflake Buttons

He's so adorable. I really love the snowflake base. So cute!!!

I have had these snowflake chipboard pieces forever and couldn't figure out what to use them with. I'm happy with the way it turned out. Thanks Debbie-Anne!
