Just look at this teeny tiny snowman created from a candlestick holder and finial. Embellish it using things from around the craft room! Liz from Crafty Queens shows you the easy steps to make this adorable snowman created from a candlestick holder. It’s Christmas in July and we all like to get a head start on the holiday season before it gets too hectic! So let’s get started!

Materials:

• Candlestick
• Finial
• Styrofoam ball
• Paint
• Ribbon/ Fabric
• Bowdabra
• Bow wire
• Bell
• Snowflake
• Greenery
• Glue
• Mini Bowdabra
• Bowabra bow wire

Instructions:

First, add some wax to the candlestick and wipe off the excess with a wet wipe. Then, paint the finial part black with some acrylic paint.

Next, paint a styrofoam ball with some white paint and let it dry.

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.

Next, cut some strips of fabric and place them in the Mini Bowdabra.  Make loops back and forth to create a small bow. Now scrunch everything down with the Bowdabra wand.  Then, insert the loose wires through the loop and pull tight while the bow is still in the Bowdabra. Then, remove the bow from the Bowdabra, separate the ends, turn to the back, and tie a knot.  Tie a double knot for extra security. Use the excess wire to tie the bow to the candlestick.

Now, paint a face on the styrofoam ball. You can use the internet for ideas for faces. Embellish the finial hat with some more fabric and greenery.
