Use the flat brush to paint the wooden lid of the mini basket with white paint. Paint the wooden handle of the mini basket with black paint. Apply second coats of paint, if necessary, and then set aside to dry.

Apply rosy cheeks to the snowman with light pink paint diluted with a bit of water. Dip the end of a paintbrush into black paint and dot on snowman eyes and mouth. Use the same technique to add white highlights to the eyes. Paint an irregular triangle for the snowman's carrot nose with orange paint. Use the skinny round brush to add an outline around the carrot nose with black paint diluted with a bit of water.

Paint a small snowflake at the top of the snowman's face with light blue paint and the skinny round paintbrush. Once the paint is dry, outline with iridescent glitter glue. Set aside to allow glitter glue to dry.

Basecoat the band at the top of the basket with dark green paint. Apply a second coat of paint, if necessary, and then set aside to dry. Using the skinny round brush create a plaid pattern with white, red, and light green paint. Allow each color to dry before adding the next color.

Attach two black buttons to the front of the basket with a glue gun and glue sticks.

To create the earmuffs cut two one-inch (5cm) circles from craft felt. Measure and cut two eight-inch (20cm) lengths of feather boa trim and glue to the felt in a spiral fashion making sure to secure the ends with a glue gun and glue sticks. TIP: Use the tip of your scissors to hold the feather boa trim down until the hot glue cools.

To finish, glue the earmuffs to either end of the basket handle. You can display your basket snowman where you like, or fill it with treats as a lovely gift!
