Yield: 1 snowman Christmas tree
Equipment

Materials
- 1 Tabletop Christmas Tree
- 3-4 Evergreen Branch Picks or pine
- ΒΌ yd of fleece fabric white
- Scraps of felt fabric in Black Red, and Orange
- Ceramic Santa Boot Planter
- Rocks
- Cardboard
- Floral Wire
- Poly Fill
- 1-2 Sets Fairy Lights
- Black Baby Beanie Hat
- 6-7 Black Buttons 1-inch in size
- Glue
Instructions
- Grab the cardboard and cut it to fit on top of the rocks. Try to make it close to the size of the top of the boots and use it to create a flat surface. This will be what your tree sits on.
- Fill the planter with rocks. If you want to glue them to hold them in place, you can. Add a little bit of the Poly-Fil on top and add rocks around that.
- Glue the cardboard cut-out on top of the boots. Then put the bottom of the tree on top of the boots and glue it securely into place.
- Grab the fairy lights and put them around the bottom of three. Work your way up while wrapping them and make sure that you leave a switch for the lights behind the top of the boots.
- Using your scissors, cut the fleece into 1/8 yard width strips. Make sure that you cut one of the fleece to be long enough to wrap around the base. (I would think that cutting the fleece about 20 inches long or so would be more than enough) Smaller cuts of the fleece will be set aside for later.
- Once you wrap the fleece around the base and around the top of the boots, secure the ends together using a stapler and then glue the fleece in place. You can adjust the branches are necessary at this point.
- Wrap the shorter pieces of fleece around the middle of the tree and connect the ends with a stapler. Tuck the fleece into the branches as this will help to secure it. You can then move the branches around as you would like.
- Wrap the rest of the fleece around the top of the tree and connect the ends with a stapler. Again, use the branches to help hold the fleece from moving around.
- Add the black beanie to the top of your tree and tuck the fleece up inside the edges of the hat. Use a stapler to hold it into place.
- Cut red felt 2-inches in width and about 24 inches long. Cut some fringe on the ends at about 3 inches long and then wrap this around the bottom of the white fleece on top. This is the scarf for the snowman!
- Next, cut a long triangle 4-inches in length with a width of 2-1/2 inches out of the orange piece of felt. Glue this to the front of the white felt on top, pointing to the side. This is the nose for your snowman.
- Glue two buttons onto the front of the white felt just above the nose, making the eyes. Then glue the rest of the bottoms of the front in a row.
- Add between 3-4 evergreen picks to the tree to bulk it up a bit. (this is optional) If you do decide to do it, use the floral wire to secure.
