TOOLS

Instructions
 

  • Remove the metal lids from the salt and pepper shakers. Roll a piece of scrap paper into a cone and insert it into the neck of the shaker. Carefully fill the shaker three-quarters full with large glitter flakes.


    Adding Glitter Flakes to Shakers
  • Coat the ping pong balls with decoupage medium using a paintbrush. Roll the ball around in clear glitter until the entire surface is coated. Carefully place the glittered ping pong ball aside to dry.


  • Once the glittered ping pong ball is dry, attach it to the snowman’s body with a multi-surface adhesive to create the head.


    Attaching Ball to Shaker
  • Paint two toothpicks with orange craft paint, and leave them to dry. Cut the tip from a toothpick and attach it to the snowman’s head as the carrot nose.
  • Attach two mini black buttons to the front of each snowman with multi-surface adhesive.
  • Create coal eyes and mouth with dots of black dimensional fabric paint.


    Creating Snowman Faces
  • Attach the metal salt and pepper shaker lids to the snowman’s head as a hat with a glue gun and glue sticks.
  • Measure and cut a 12”/30cm length of ribbon then tie it around the snowman’s "neck". Fold the ribbon scarf over and secure it with a glue gun and glue sticks. Trim ribbon ends to size, fringe the ends, or cut a triangular notch with scissors.




    Measuring Ribbon
  • Attaching Ribbon Scarf
  • Attach a green holly leaf button to the snowmen hats with a glue gun and glue sticks. Attach three red self-adhesive pearls around the leaf to create a holly sprig.


    Attaching Holly and Berries
  • Make sure everything is dry and secure before displaying where desired.

Handy Tips & More Ideas

*You can use green cardstock or felt to create holly leaves if you can’t find the holly leaf buttons.
**Red rhinestones or pony beads make an excellent substitute for red pearls.
Alternatively, you could use ready-made mini holly embellishments.
