30. Cute Snowman Decorated With Greenery
via Linda Parmelee Maisano
How it is made: “I cut circles of Sherpa fabric in 12 inches, 10 inches, and 8 inches. I basted the top together, stuffed it full of poly fill, glued each circle together on the board, and then decorated it. It was pretty simple, and I just used dinner plates, or pots and pan lids or anything I could find in my kitchen that was a circle of the right circumference. I use greenery, Christmas pics around him, and the hat I get at Walmart in the Christmas section. They’re ornaments or I made some out of felt. The nose – It’s a little wooden carrot nose I got at Hobby Lobby. I painted it a better orange.”
