Oopsey Daisy: Jingle Bell Snowman Book Advent Day !1

Yikes! I don't know about you, but I am quick to persist in and snuggle for the following few days. We have had unseasonably warm weather in Colorado, so everyone is out and about. Our local grocery store.library. fast food. heaven forbid, Hobby Lobby! When it comes to battling crowds, I mean I'm ready to have in the towel!

I'm not certain how I'll entertain Little Man in the house all day, but I'll do anything to avert the madness out there!

I am SO happy with how this little project turned out today. Any guesses what book we take?? The one. The only. Mr. Frosty the Snowman! Even though we did several snowman activitiesa few weeks ago along with Snowmen at Christmas, Little Man is still lovin' Frosty! I believe he's watched the film 3 times. So I live I couldn't go awry with this vintage Christmas classic.

I tried to write some "wintry" projects for last. that way you don't take to hold all the way until next Christmas to use them! You can have some of your Christmas jingle bells and create a sweet jingle bell snowman any sentence of the year! I originally saw this idea onKaboose.

I didn't take pictures on the way, but hopefully I can talk you through making your own! To get your own jingle bell snowman....

* Paint 3 large jingle bells with white acrylic paint. It was a little tricky to paint my metal bells, so I used several coats. I mixed in only a bit of glitter glue to make the snowman some shine!

* I strung all of the jingle bells together using thin wire. I cut a long part of cable and strung the first jingle bell up from the bottom. I twisted it a bit so it could be hung, and then strung both wire pieces through the bottom. Then I took the telegram down through the following two jingle bells. To ensure the all thing, I went about the third jingle bell and distorted in all in place. (This sounds much harder than it is!)

* Using my Elmer's painters, I drew on the eyes, nose, and mouth.

* I used E-6000 to paste a red thread about the snowman's head. Next, I glued red pompoms on either face to feel like ear muffs!

* I glued buttons onto the second jingle bell.

* Finally, I even a thread about the cervix to feel like a scarf!

Here is a close-up of the face:

What a bright, cheery little face! He was so fun (and quick! to make!

Thanks for making Oopsey Daisy part of your day!
