Jolly Snowman...

Pictured above is the snowman by Martha Stewart.

To see how Martha made hers click HERE.

I made mine a little different... First off, I used really soft fluffy yarn and made my own pom poms instead of buying them. I used black embroidery thread for the eyes. I did the felt hat just like Martha but added a little snowflake embellishment to make it more cute. The carrot nose is felt but I sewed little black lines by hand to make it look more like a real carrot. For the scarf I used ribbon off a package someone had given me and sewed little red buttons to his front to finish him off.  This snowman is fun and easy to make. He would look cute on a Christmas tree, a gift or just about anywhere! This would be a wonderful craft to do with your kids.

Merry Christmas!

    Your Snowman is so sweet. I have a little tree that I put fun and whimsical ornaments on, and that would go perfect on it. Enjoy the season!
