I’ve got a new craft idea. It’s a snowman.
Supplies needed:
- A toilet paper tube, at best, but a paper towel tube will do
- white paper (NOT card stock. It won’t bend enough).
- tooth pick
- brown crayon
- black pencil/pen
- Optional: another toothpick w/ orange crayon OR an orange pencil
- something sharp
- tape
- a ball of crumpled white paper
WARNING: READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE BEGINNING PROJECT (Note: It’s much easier with a small toilet paper roll tube!)
Wrap the white paper around the card board tube. Then take the loose top and bottom of the paper and squeeze it through the hole on the top and bottom of the tube. Next, take your sharp item and poke a hole through the wrapped tube near the top. Color with the brown crayon the toothpick and stick it through the hole. Now take more white paper and wrap the crumpled paper in it so it looks sort of like a white ball. After that, tape it up so the paper cannot come off the crumple. Now take up your sharp thing again and poke a very thin and small hole almost right through the ball, a little lower than the middle of it. But don’t go all the way through and out the other side. Just poke till the sharp thing is touching the white wrapping and is out of the crumple. Color another toothpick orange before sticking it inside the hole for its nose OR color a carrot on the paper where the hole was going to be (but don’t put the hole there). Now use your black pencil or pen to make its mouth an eyes.
I hope you enjoy your Snowman!
