snowman in a hat


finally we got some snow....not too excited for it...but i have to admit, it looks BEAUTIFUL!  Perfect
Time to make
a snowman in a hat....
step 1. buy hat (I got this hat at a party store...for about $4.)
step 2. have a photo shoot with hat




That is supposed to be a stach..I was channelling charlie Chaplin

step 3. buy scarf (dollar store!)

step 4. get some rocks from the yard.

step 5. spray paint black

step 6. Get some smaller rocks

Step 7. spray paint those black




step 8. get some buttons (party store for like 15 cents)

step 9. get a fake carrot (dollar store in the bin of fake fruit and fake rolls...couldn't believe my luck when I pulled out a carrot!)

step 10. put all items into hat.


step 11. wrap up

(cellophane...purchased at the dollar store!)

step 12. make tag

(I used some snowman wrapping paper...)
now..you could throw in some sticks...but I knew that they would probably get used as swords around here...so I selectively omitted it...

step 13. tie on tag


step 14. give to somebody you love!


these would make great little gifts to give to your neighbors and friends!

  10. What a neat idea for a 'secret snow fairy' to give to that neighbour who is really a nutjob but has the cutest kids and a really nice wife. (he makes the hoarder neighbour seem like a better bet).
    Now if the snow would stop long enough to get sticky for snowman making.
