I manage a formal wear shop in the Twin Cities. Each holiday season, I like to find fun/inexpensive ways to treat my staff to treats throughout the season. This year, I brought in a little elf to help me out with the gift giving.
As a part of this, one of the things that the elf delivered was a little pack of these cute snowmen with snowball bellies.
These are a fun and inexpensive way to give a little winterized gift to your pals or office mates. Here is how they are done!
You will need:
double sided tape
glue dots
white cardstock
red paper
black paper
pastel chalks
black pen/marker
hostess cakes (in singles packages)
Using the papers, I cut the white cardstock into a shape using this following base and editing it to a shape I liked for the snowman's face. I found the below template on http://www.cliparthut.com/
With the red paper, I cut out mitten and scarf shapes. With the black, I created a top hat shape.
I added some detail to the scarves by placing little lines and fringe onto the scarf with black marker.
Using the edited frame template, I folded it in half and then added a face to one side of the frame. To add cute little rosey cheeks, I used my scrapbooking chalks to add a little blush to the cheeks. I drew a face onto each one and attached the top hats with double sided tape.
Then, using the double sided tape, I added the scarf to the back side of the face.
Folding over the frame template, I added double sided tape to the back of the face and to the other side of the folded frame. Placing the snowball cakes in between the front and back of the folded frame, I pressed each of the sides onto the cakes.
Using the glue dots, I added the mittens.
And VIOLA! There you have it! a little snowman with a snowball cake belly!
Try it out and be sure to share the photos with me.
Don't have time to make these, but want to give them as gifts? I have a website and will work on any commission-able works you would like to have done!
