Level: Easy,

Materials
  • 2 cotton wool pads

  • Method
  • Trim one of the cotton wool pads into a smaller circle to make the snowman's head.

  • Glue the cotton wool pads into a piece of card, with the smaller circle on top for the head.

  • Trim round cardboard to get your finished snowman.

  • To make a Christmas card, stick the snowman onto a blank card.

    To make a window decoration, stick a piece of sticky back book covering onto the snowman (sticky side onto the front of the snowman). Trim round the edge, leaving a sticky border of about a centimetre. The snowman will then stick to the window by pressing the sticky border to the glass.
