Cut out the circle, then fold it in half and cut along the fold.

Glue the two halves to the open end of the clothespin and let the glue dry.

Step 4

Cut a rectangle for your snowman's hat from black construction paper, then cut a strip to make the brim of his hat. Glue them onto the snowman's head.

Step 5

Glue two wiggle eyes onto the top half of the snowman's face.

Cut a narrow triangle from orange construction paper for his nose and glue it in place. Let dry.
