Step 1

Wrap the paper tube with the white cardstock and glue it in place. Let dry and cut off any excess paper.
TIP: If you don't have a paper tube, just cut the cardstock to the height of the snowman and roll into a tube. Glue to secure.

Step 2

Glue two pom-poms on the top, side of the tube across from one another for the earmuffs. Let dry.
TIP: ADULT: You can use hot glue to attach the pom-poms and the chenille pipe cleaner for a more secure hold.

Step 3

Cut a piece of chenille pipe cleaner to fit in a slight arc connecting the two pom-poms. Glue into place.

Step 4

Cut a strip of felt to fit around the tube to make a scarf. Glue in place. Let dry.

Step 5

Glue on wiggle eyes, then decorate the rest of the snowman using markers.
