Materials:
Glue gun/ clear glue sticks
White jingle bell (or small pom pom, styrofoam ball) for head
White pom poms, larger than bell for body
Clear, round, plastic ornament (usually comes in 2halves)
Faux snow (shredded plastic or buffalo snow) -about two tablespoons.
Fishing line
Paints to paint face on snowman, if not pre-made
1.) If your snowman doesn't have a face, paint that on first and let dry completely. Use acrylics, fabric paints or even glitter glue.
2.) Heat up glue gun and put in glue.
3.) Glue jingle bell head to first section of body (one of the white pom poms). Be sure to glue holding the bell upside down so the ball inside doesn't get stuck in the glue and then won't jingle anymore.
4.) Glue the next section of body to the jingle bell/body section.
5.) If using a bell, run fishing line through the hanger on top. If using another material, glue a small dab on top of the snowman's head and hold the tip of the fishing line into the glue until it hardens.
6.) Take the clear plastic ornament apart and place the snowman inside.
7.) Take the fishing line and run up to the hanger on top of the ornament and tie on the outside, so that when you put the ornament halves together the knot isn't in between the halves. (BUT don't seal it yet!)
8.) Put the faux snow in the ornament half with the snowman.
9.) Now put the two halves of the ornament together, they should fit snugly so the snowman doesn't pop out or any snow escapes.
10.) Add an ornament hanger to the top and you're done!
11.) For that extra sparkle, use glitter glue on the outside, sprinkle glitter in with the faux snow or glue rhinestones to the outside!
