D.I.Y. Christmas Snowman





This D.I.Y Snowman is very easy to make,
I made it recently for my teachers and they
 all loved it. I had lots of fun making it and
 I think it showed my personality pretty
well.

To make this D.I.Y. you will need:
  • 3 jars (either mason jars or just regular spice jars)
  • Hot Chocolate
  • Peppermints
  • Marshmallows
  • Black card stalk
  • Pipe Cleaners
  • Googly eyes
  • Pompoms (Black preferably)
  • Hole Punch 
To make this D.I.Y. Craft first thing you
 should do is make sure the jars are clean,
 you do this because when you put the
other ingredients in you don't want them
 to stick to the jar.

Next you need to put Marshmallows into
 the one jar, peppermints into the next,
and put hot chocolate into the last jar.
Once you are done hot glue the jars
 together, make sure to use a lot
because you don't want them to
 break apart when handing them
 out to your teachers, family, or
 friends.

Take some pretty holiday ribbon hot glue it
and wrap it around the lid of the second jar,
you can either make a bow out of the ribbon
or buy some little bows at a craft store.

To make the top hat for your snowman you
need to take the card stalk and take the lid
off the top jar that has not been hot glued
 together and trace the lid, that will become
 the top. After you are done that take your
ruler and make a strip of paper the same size.
Last but not least take a tea cup or something
 a little bit bigger than your lid. once you have
 traced and measured everything cut it our and
 hot glue it all together. It should look like a top
 hat, then take a piece of pipe cleaner wrap it
 around and hot glue it into place at the base
 of brim. 

Take 2 pompoms, black is best because it looks
the most like coal. Again, hot glue it into place.
Take 2 googly eyes and hot glue them on, cut a
 bit of pipe cleaner hot glue it into place, and last
 take the hole punch and punch out some black
card stalk stick them on with a hot glue in place
 to make it look like a mouth made out of coal.

Then VOILA you have finished your D.I.Y.
 Christmas Snowman! It is the perfect gift
to give for a Christmas present. People
will see that you have put a lot of thought
into it and you can personalize it however
you want.
