Snowy Greeter

We like to repurpose around here.

There was some styrofoam leftover from

Lil' Guy's Halloween costume.

It comes in sheets.

Last year, I made a recycled snowman

out of things we had around the house.

I wanted to have another snowman

greeting guests at the front door this year.

A plant saucer helped to make

the circular shape for the head.

Sharpies are great for so many things!

We drew on the back of the styrofoam,

so the marks didn't show.

A box cutter does a good job of cutting out the circles.

To make the larger circle for the body parts,

we used twine, a push pin and our marker

about 1-2 inches out from the edge of the first circle.

Three snowballs ready for stacking.

Toothpicks driven into the backs secured the pieces together.

(We later taped a broomstick to the back for extra sturdiness.)

Bells were added for buttons

using paper clips to attach them.

Shapes crafted from construction paper

give him a friendly face.

Scrap fabric was used for a scarf.

Happy Holidays to one and all!
