    Melting Snowman

    Supplies:

    Delta Ceramcoat Paint:
    white
    black
    tangerine

    2 Folk Art Mittens
    Plug (nose)
    1/8" Yard Black Felt
    Black Marking Pen
    1 3/4" Knob
    DecoArt Snow-Tex
    Scrap of Material (scarf)

    Hot Glue
    Masonite or thin wood scrap

    BEGIN:

    Cut base out of masonite (or other thin wood). Paint base and knob (head) white. Paint mittens
    black. Paint plug (nose) orange (tangerine). (Tip: Using a tiny bit of hot glue, attach mittens, knob
    and nose to a popsicle stick for easier painting).

    FACE:

    After the head is dry, using a toothpick or stylus (or even the handle end of a paintbrush) and black
    paint, make 2 dots for the eyes. (See face pattern) Using a black permanent marker, draw the
    eyebrows, mouth and make 3 freckles on each cheek. Use a little blush on each cheek. Using a
    toothpick, place a white dot on each eye.

    HAT and SCARF:

    Cut Snowball's scarf out of material - 1" wide by 12" long.

    Using a heavyweight black felt, use Pattern C to cut the hat pieces out of the felt. To assemble hat:
    Fold Piece #1 in half lengthwise. (see first picture below) Use a couple small drops of glue inside the
    piece to keep it folded. Overlap the back joint and hot glue it together...it will now be a small circle.
    (see second picture below) Using Piece #2, clip the corners off (see dotted lines on pattern) and
    push it up inside the Piece #1 you just created. Piece #2 is now the top of the hat. Hot glue it in a
    ew spots to the inside of Piece #1. Lay this piece centered on top of Piece #3. With needle and
    thread, whipstitch the top of the hat to Piece #3 (just a few stitches will do). Add a bit of SnowTex
    to top of hat for snow, if desired.



    ASSEMBLY:

    Hot glue head to base (see picture for placement). Glue a mitten on each side of his head. Glue nose
    to center of face. Fold scarf in half lengthwise and tie around Snowball's neck, cutting the ends to the
    length you want. Center hat on his head...hot glue in place.
