January 31, 2008 - 0:0

Make a cute snowman decoration using two paper plates. This makes a nice decoration to put on a door or hang in a window

Supplies needed:
2 white paper plates
Construction paper (black, red) or wrapping paper
An orange pipe cleaner (for the nose)
A short length of yearn or ribbon
Hole punch
Marker or crayons
Scissors
Glue
- On one of the paper plates, cut off the outer rim, making a smaller plate.
- Punch a hole near the rim on both plates.
- Tie the two plates together, using the yarn (or ribbon).
- On black construction paper, draw and then cut out a top hat and two boots.
- On colored construction paper (or gift wrap paper), draw and then cut out two mittens.
- Glue the hat, boots and mittens on the snowman.
- Either glue on googly eyes or draw eyes. Draw a mouth. For the nose, cut a short length from an orange pipe cleaner. Stick the pipe cleaner through the plate to secure it (if the plate is too tough, make a tiny hole with the tip of the scissors).
- For the buttons, you can cut out shapes from construction paper, use round stickers, glue on real buttons, or simply draw them.
You now have a cute snowman decoration!
