At last THE SNOWMAN or should i say SNOWPERSON LOL


 HELLO my crafty friends, this is the little snowmen.
  I bought some already dried and sliced wood. You will need 4 a smaller one for the head.

Using some acrylic white paint lightly with a sponge (no water) brushed over all the discs
 Then the trusty Glue gun i glued them one on top of each other, and one for the base.
I have also inked around the edges with a blue distress ink to create that cold feel!
Put a lolly pop stick on the back for that extra support.
The little hat was made using stiff card i cut a disc of about 2/3 inch and a strip of about 5 '' and 1' deep.
I rolled this strip around my finger and glued together at the end with glue.



 

 Glued around bottom of circle and placed into the centre of big disc then glued around the edge and added another circle to fit top.
PLEASE DO NOT WORRY ABOUT SEEING THE GLUE YOU WON'T SEE IT WHEN ITS FINISHED! 
i added a bit of Christmas ribbon around hat and a few Christmas leaves and berries

Then to cover up all the glue, good SNOW TEX and slap in on lol 


i put a good splat of snow tex on the bottom edge before added cones and berries




 small twigs for the arms glued and i put some red mits on (just to keep him warm)


For the face i used acrylic pens and found some fab carrot buttons on line. 
Glossy accents for the finish shine (same as rufus reindeer)

some ideas for faces 

a scarf around and glued, frayed the edges.


some buttons and stamped a snowflake and added glitter.






Hope you enjoyed the snowmen and maybe you'll try and make one, please leave me a message if i can help.
