Equipment

  • Scissors
  • Ruler
  • Pencil
  • Hot Glue Gun & Glue
  • Exacto Knife

Materials

  • ½ yd White Sherpa Fabric
  • 1 12-inch Foam Wreath Form
  • 2 6-inch Foam Wreath Forms
  • 1 12-inch Bamboo Skewer
  • 1 1-inch Foam Ball
  • 1 2-inch Foam Ball
  • 1 3-inch Foam Ball
  • Scrap Orange Craft Foam
  • 3 Small Bottle Brush Trees
  • 9 Small Black Beads
  • 2 Small Black Buttons

Instructions

  • Cut the sherpa fabric into 2-inch strips. Hot glue one end of one strip to the back side of the larger foam wreath, then wrap that strip snugly around the foam wreath form, hot gluing it in place periodically. When you have exhausted that strip, hot glue a second strip to the foam wreath form and continue wrapping it. Wrap the entire wreath form, covering it entirely. Repeat with the two smaller foam wreath forms.
  • Lay the larger of the wreath forms flat on your table, then position the two smaller wreaths on either side about 6-8 inches apart from each other. Using an excess strip of the sherpa fabric, tie each of the smaller wreaths to the larger wreath snugly. Add a bit of hot glue to the knot to make sure that it doesn’t come undone, if desired.
  • Make the snowman Mickey by sliding each of the foam balls in succession onto the bamboo skewer, taking care to go through the center.
  • Trim the bamboo skewer to be no longer than 2 inches longer than the base of the largest foam ball.
  • Using the exacto knife, cut a small hole in the bottom center of the largest wreath, mostly cutting through the fabric.
  • Slide the snowman skewer into the hole in the wreath and hot glue it in place.
  • Hot glue the bottle brush trees on either side of the snowman.
  • Cut a small triangle from the orange craft foam and glue it to the center of the top ball of the snowman.
  • Cut 2 circles of black craft foam with a ¾ inch diameter (the bottom of an acrylic paint container works well for a guide). Cut about ⅛ inch off one side of each of the black circles on one side, making a flat spot. Attach the ears on either side of the snowman’s head using the flat spot to provide more area to glue.
  • Add the two small buttons for eyes, five small beads for a smile and four small beads for buttons on the front of the snowman with hot glue. Hang and enjoy!
