Instructions:

  1. Use the pair of compasses and the pencil, and draw two circles on the white felt: The first circle must have a diameter of 2.3 inches, this will be the snowman's body.
  2. The second circle must have a diameter of 1.5 inches, this will be the snowman's head.
  3. From the red felt, cut a strip 0.4 x 7 inch, this will form the snowman's scarf. At both ends of the strip of red felt, make small incisions, so that it will look as if the scarf has fringes.
  4. Red felt with slits cut in the end
