Easy to make Tootsie Pop snowman. After making the Tootsie Pop turkey this year, I kept trying to think of something similar to make at Christmas! This is one of the ideas I had. They would be cute as place cards at a meal or stuck on top of a present!
Approximate Time: 30 minutes
Supplies:
- cardboard square (approx. 2"x2")
- scissors
- hot glue gun
- felt (orange), 'stiff' felt (black)
- Sharpie marker
- wooden beads (1-3/4", 1-1")
- acrylic paint (white)
- Tootsie pop
- thin twigs
- hole punch
- pipe cleaner
- glitter
Instructions:
- Paint both wooden beads white. Let dry.
- Draw face and buttons on beads with Sharpie.
- Slide beads onto stick of Tootsie Pop.
- Hat Brim: Cut a circle (approx. 1.25") out of the "stiff" black felt. Using a hole punch, punch a hole in the center. Hat Top: Cut a rectangle (approx. .75"x1") out of the "stiff" black felt.
- Place "hat brim" on top of "head". Wrap rectangular piece of felt around stick and glue in place to make "hat top".
- Cut a small, long and narrow triangle out of the orange felt for the "carrot nose". Glue into place.
- Cut a piece of pipe cleaner for the "scarf". Wrap pipe cleaner around, in between the two beads.
- Cut two thin twigs for the "arms". Glue into place on the sides of the "body".
- Glue the Tootsie pop to the piece of cardboard. (Optional) Paint cardboard white and sprinkle glitter onto the wet paint!
NOTE: Glueing only the "top of the hat" to the stick allows for easy removal of all piece prior to eating!
