Girl Scout Troop 704

Materials Needed
One tube sock per snowman	markers
pom pom for top of hat	sequins
wiggle eyes	material
buttons	ribbon
glue (tacky or hot glue)	stuffing
beans or wooden circle for bottom of snowman	rubber bands

Note: For the tube socks we couldn't find the ones with the colored bands at the top so ours were all white.
For the ribbon we used curling, but you could use any type ribbon.

See picture at bottom of page for completed project.

Directions: Take a tube sock and turn it inside out (we did it both ways and the girls like them wrong side out best).

Place beans or wooden circle in bottom of sock - this help the snowman stand upright. One of the girls dads is a carpenter so he cut out a bunch of circles from about an inch or so thick wood that we placed in our snowman. The size of the circle was about that from a juice container or maybe a little larger.

Stuff the sock with fiberfill or similar product up to the banding at the top.

With the rubber band close the top of the sock - wind it around several times so that it is tight.

Fold the top of the sock down over the sock to form the hat. You will cover the opening part with a pom pom.

Tie the ribbon a little above the middle to form the head.

Decorate with wiggle eyes, buttons down the front, sequins, pom pom for the top of the hat, the girls used markers to add a mouth and rosy cheeks. We had used pinking shears and cut some small patches of material that some of the girls put on their snowman for a country type look.

This was easy, fun and cheap and the girls enjoyed it.
