Materials
- Wine corks
- White paint

- Pipe cleaners

Instructions
- Paint wine cork white. Allow to dry.
- Draw 2 small dots (eyes) on the front of the wine cork.
- Using scissors, carefully cut off the pointy end of a toothpick or wood skewer. This will be the snowman's nose. Use hot glue to attach the nose to the front of the wine cork under the eyes. Use a thin paintbrush to paint the wooden nose orange.
- Add a series of small dots to the snowman to form a "coal" mouth.
- Cut a small piece of ribbon or felt and wrap it around the wine cork to make a scarf. Secure the ribbon in place with hot glue.
- Draw three small dots under the scarf to make the snowman's buttons.
- Glue a small pom pom on both sides of your snowman’s head -- these will be his earmuffs.
- Cut a small piece of pipe cleaner to use to connect the earmuffs. Glue one end of the pipe cleaner to each of the pom poms.
- Finally, glue a small loop of twine to the back of your snowman ornament so that you can hang it on your tree.
The nose in the picture appears to be more than a toothpick! What did you use?
Hi Sue! We used a pointed wooden skewer that was a bit thicker than a toothpick — something like this or this.
Thanks for response; I wasn’t able to see until 2day! I will need to get proper size skewer! My plan is to do with my granddaughter who has no patience so want to have everything ready.
Looking at making these this year – 30 total. What size ribbon it you use. Thanks. Will post when I finish.
1/4 inch ribbon – can’t wait to see how they come out!!
