DIY Felt Snowman

This project was more for my little one ... but my eight year old had fun playing with it for a bit too! Those of you who have toddlers know what I am talking about when I say ... "will I ever get anything done with this little crazy person running behind me!" So cute .. Most of the time! Not so cute when toddler insists on doing all mommy things, always, all the time!

In order to try and help maximize my Christmas "time" I decided to create this fun snowman that I found on Pinterest crosscutsewingco.com . It was super easy to make and my, almost, 3 year old played with it for hours and still plays with it .. making different faces and rearranging how he looks.

I just drew the shapes and all the pieces free hand but you can get patterns all over the Internet or at billybear4kids.com . You can do however many or few pieces you wish .. you can do three separate balls for the snowman or make one shape for the body of the snowman. That's the fun .. its like paper dolls!

All you need is ...

Felt
Hot glue
Pen or black marker
Scissors

Use the pen or marker to draw your shapes on to the felt
Cut shapes
Hot glue any shapes that need it (we hot glued the berries on the holly and the stick arm parts)

We hung ours on the wall at first with pins ... this method wasn't the best as some of the extras made the snowman too heavy to stay up.
We found that the back of a peg board or white board (sometimes) will have that rough straw like texture ... we used that!
We found an old cork board and flipped it and Viola! Fun for days!
