How to Make a Felt Snowman:

Start by cutting out a snowman shape from the white felt. To make this easier, sketch the shape lightly with a pencil first, then cut along the outline.
-
Cut a small hat from the black felt, using the same pencil-and-cut method.
-
With a needle and black thread, sew the hat onto the snowman shape.
-
Sew on the small button eyes with black thread, and use white thread to attach additional buttons down the front of the snowman.
-
Sew the pompom onto the snowman using red or orange thread to represent the nose.
-
Take a small piece of ribbon and sew it to the back of the snowman to create a loop for hanging, like in the picture above.
-
Decorate your adorable snowman craft with another piece of ribbon as a scarf, and you’re done!
Let your kids hang their creations on the Christmas tree and enjoy the festive cheer they helped create.
