What You Will Need

  • Wide mouth pint mason jar
  • Small foam balls in 3 sizes
  • toothpicks
  • Hot glue and a glue gun
  • Glistening Snow-Tex
  • Red felt
  • Black craft paint
  • Brad yellow or orange
  • Black buttons
  • Loose iridescent snow

Instructions

  • Cut off a small portion of the bottom of your largest foam ball so it can serve as a base.
  • Stack your foam balls on top of each other and secure them together with toothpicks and a dab of hot glue.
  • Coat your snowman in Glistening Snow-Tex. Allow about a day of drying time.
  • Turn your mason jar upside down. Apply a coat of Glistening Snow-Tex and use your knife to spread it around so it looks like it's running down the jar.
    Allow it to dry for about a day. Add a second coat, if needed, and allow to dry.
  • Tie a small strip of red felt around the snowman's neck. Use the “wrong” end of your paintbrush to apply eyes and buttons.
  • Pull off one of the tines from the back of your brad and stick it into your foam for a nose.
  • Stack your buttons and hot glue them into a hat shape. Then glue the "hat" onto your snowman's head.
  • Hot glue your snowman to the inside of your mason jar lid.
  • Carefully flip the lid into the jar and screw it on tightly. Feel free to add some Glistening Snow-Tex to the lid to embellish it.
  • Allow everything to dry completely then display proudly!
