Frosted Pine Cone Snowman CraftThis Christmas, turn a pine cone into a cute little snowman. This poor fella is cold. Even his mouth and cheeks are blue, so you will have to knit him a nice scarf to try and help him to get warm. Add him to your window sill or mantelpiece, and bring some cheer to your winter décor.

Total Time: one hour

Steps:

  1. Spray Heritage Contact Glue over the pine cone and sprinkle Epsom salt over the glue while it is still wet. Keep on spraying and adding salt until the whole pine cone has been covered with "snow."

  3. Use the scissors to make a small opening in the polystyrene ball. Use the Pritt glue to affix the ball to the pine cone's top scale.

  5. Glue the two wiggle eyes in place. Use the pliers to snip the yellow pin shorter and push the pin into the polystyrene ball to make a nose.

  7. Now make the ear muffs. First cut the pipe cleaner shorter and bend it. Cut two circles with a diameter of 1" each from the yellow felt and glue these to both inside ends of the shortened pipe cleaner. Cut two smaller circles with a diameter of 0.5" each from the orange felt and glue these to the outside on top of the yellow circles. Glue the small pom-poms on top of the orange circles.
