Equipment
- Paintbrush
Ingredients
- 20 mm unfinished wood balls
- white acrylic paint
- black acrylic paint
- orange acrylic paint
- brown acrylic paint
- Twine or string
- Quarter-inch wide ribbon
- wooden skewer
Instructions
- Slide the wooden beads over the skewer, make sure you leave plenty of space in between so that you can paint all sides of the bead. Give each bead a nice light coat of white paint and then allow it to dry.
- Apply a second coat of paint and allow it to dry completely.
- Slide your beads onto the String/twine.
- Use the backend of a very small paintbrush to add black dots for the ice mouth and buttons.
- Use the black backend of a small paintbrush again or you can also use the tip of the skewer to draw out a long orange carrot nose.
- Optional: paint stick arms on each side of the buttons with light brown paint.
- Let your painted details dry well.
- Wrap the ribbon around the neck like a scarf and secure it into the place where you want it with a dab of glue.
- Tie several knots at the end of the string below your snowman so that it is larger than the hole on your beads and your snowman will not slip off the end of the string.
- At the other end tie a loop with the string for hanging.
- Your snowman is now done and ready to enjoy.
