My Snowman Ornament Tutorial

Ok this is my first tutorial so I hope it all works out ok. These are fast and fun ornaments to make and you can do many variations of them.




Supplies:
Cupcake foil ( I used a plain white one and then a silver one)
White Feather
Different colored Beads
Snowman
Toothpick
Cardstock
Glue gun
Pipe cleaner (red and white)
lace
cotton balls or fluffy snow
garland
Fancy sissors


supplies:





1:Take your cupcake paper and flatten it out.



2. Take your scissors and cut your cupcake foil in a circle so it has a pretty edge. Put it ontop of the non-metalic cupcake paper to make sure it's alittle smaller than it.




3. Add glue to the paper cupcake cup and put the silver foil ontop





4: Now turn it over and glue a little cardstock circle to the back. This will make it more sturdy.



5: Turn it over again and add some glue to the center. You will now add either your cotton balls or "fluffy snow" to it.




6: I cut some lace and glue it ontop of the snow. I just kind of crumpled it up and glued it down.


7: Nowturn it over and add some glue to the side of the paper cupcake cup. Add the garland all around and then cut when you get to the end.







8: Now turn it around and glue your snowman down.


9: To make the candy cane you need 2 pipe cleaners! I used a shiny red and dull white. You twist it and then make the hook at the end and then cut it! I dont pre-cut them before they are made. Glue the candy cane down next to the snowman.









10: I glue a feather down under the snowman and add colorful beads to the feather (glue them down). I used silver, clear and blue beads . You can make the little let is snow sign out of cardstock. I just used a toothpick and glued on a cardstock sign. I added glitter and a little snowflake!



Without sign


11: Now just glue on a string loop on the back so you are able to hang it on the tree. This is a great project for the kids to make too!!! Cheap, fun and easy! Couldnt ask for more
