My christmas gift to you!

This Christmas I thought I would give a little "how to" to my bogging friends. It is a simple little
Snowman made from a light bulb. Here it is and Merry Christmas to you all!!! Hugs julie

 After adding some ribbon  and silver pipe cleaners . He is done!!

Next I added a layer of glitter to his cap by spreading it with Mod Podge

And then sprinkling it with clear glass glitter. I used a black sharpie  to make his eyes and then a white and red ( not shown Oops ) Stabillo pencil  to make his checks .I  blended  them together in

Circular motion to make pink. A Stabillo pencil will work on all surfaces, even glass.

He is all glued together.

Next I glued his nose , base and cap on with E 6000.

               I used a clear water bottle cap for his base and covered it and his nose with

White glass glitter. I used Mod Podge as the glue  for the glitter.

I sewed a few fun findings and beads to the tip of the cap.

I picked some fun ribbon and sewed it on the rim of the cap.

 Using black velvet I cut a flower shape for his collar.

I stitched  the cap together with black thread. It is hard to see but the raw edge of the

felt was cut with pinking shears.

I used wool felt  to make the cap,which is part rayon , part wool .

I buy this at Joann Fabrics by the yard.

To make a cone shaped hat pattern I just folded the edge of a piece of paper. I made sure the

base was  the width I wanted. I can always trim the bottom base edge later to round it off.

For his nose  I made a jelly roll from paper clay and then by pressing firmer on one end

 while I rolled, I  tapered it into a cone shape . When it is dry you can sand the rough  edges .

For starters I sprayed a small clear light bulb with frosted glass spray paint.
