I wish I could say we actually had snow to make real snowmen, but alas, we do not. We haven’t had any snow in quite a while. We are long over due! But with Christmas just around the corner I have been making a few snowmen (and snow women) to give as gifts. For now, these are the only snowmen we can find.
These are super easy to make and are a lot of fun. Plus, they use up your scraps and allow you to recycle things too. I am all over that! I used brand new, clean white tube socks, old sweaters and long-sleeved tops and buttons. I filled the socks with as much rice as they would hold and tied them nice and tight. For the noses, I used wooden skewers that I cut and colored with an orange marker. When I first learned how to make these adorable little snowmen and women a couple of years ago, I bought a ton of buttons. This is why I now have so many buttons and got creative doing button crafts. With a creative person, one thing always leads to another, and another, and so on. 🙂 The only limits are the limits of your own imagination.
So, you have people that need little stocking stuffers or quick and easy gifts, these will work just fine. And your kids and grandkids can help out too.
Have a great day and make everyday great, no matter what you do. Be creative. have fun and play around with all kinds of things. 🙂 Life is short. Live life to the fullest and enjoy all of life’s adventures that come your way.
