Directions:
- Paint three wood beads with white acrylic paint.
- Tie the ends of the Natural Twine together to create a loop.
- Bend the small wire at the top of the looped twine to help you pull the wood beads. String all three beads onto the natural twine.
- Tie a knot at the top of the beads and trim off the excess twine.
- Place the Santa Hat on the top of the beads to determine glue placement. Remove the hat and add a small amount of glue on each side of the bead. Add Santa Hat.
- Give the Santa Hat a bend and glue in place with glue.
- Thread the red and white twine through the needle, insert it into the top of the Santa Hat to create a hanger to hang the Snowman.
- To Make the Scarf: Cut a small thin piece of red felt. (approx. 1/2″ x 7″) Cut two small strips of white felt and glue them on each end of the red felt strip. Fringe the ends of the red felt.
- Tie the scarf around the top bead. Add a small dab of glue to keep the scarf in place.
- Use a paint marker to draw a simple face on the Snowman.
