- Scrapbook paper
- Stake

- Paint
- Pallet knife
- Fabric/ Ribbon/ Mesh
- Greenery
- Bell
- Button Plugs
- Shim

Instructions:
First, cover the mason jar shape with wallpaper, fabric, or paper. Next measure where the snowman hat will be and use some tape to paint it black.
Then, paint the stake black as well for the brim of the hat. Next, brush some ModPodge on the face shape and attach some wood grain scrapbook paper, making sure it adheres with no wrinkles. Trim an excess paper all around with a craft knife.
Next, use some hot glue to attach the painted stake. Now, use a wood shim cut to the shape of a carrot and paint it orange for the nose. Paint some half-wood button balls in black for the eyes and mouth.
Now, Use some glue to attach the carrot nose piece, eyes, and space half-wood button balls all around for the mouth.
Then, use a palette knife with some white paint to apply paint all around for a snowy look. Use the side of the palette knife with some black paint to apply eyebrows to the snowman
Make the Bow:
Cut a piece of Bowdabra bow wire. Then, fold it in half and insert it into the Mini Bowdabra. You will have a loop on one side and two loose wires on the other side. This will serve as your slipknot. Tuck the ends under to stay out of the way while you are making your bow.
Begin adding fabric strips and making loops back and forth to form a bow. Thread the loose wires through the loop and pull tight. Remove the bow from the Bowdabra, turn to the back, and tie a knot. Fluff and arrange. Glue the bow to the snowman hat. Add some greenery and enjoy this adorable little snowman and best part was that he was very inexpensive to make!
