Snowman with a Bucket on Its Head

To make a snowman you will need:

- 1 polystyrene ball Ø 10 cm

- 1 polystyrene ball Ø 7 cm

- a round wooden base Ø 8.5 cm

- a wooden skewer

- 2 wooden sticks, 9.3 cm long

- a small metal bucket

- 2 moving eyes Ø 2.5 cm

- a ribbon

- 3 buttons

- 2 pom-poms

- a roll of double-sided adhesive tape

- strong white glue (or a hot glue gun)

- acrylic paint and a brush

- a pair of scissors

Paint the round wooden support with acrylic paint and let it dry for about 15 minutes.

Glue the 10 cm Ø polystyrene ball to the center of the round base using strong white glue, then allow it to dry for a few hours.

For those who are more impatient, you can also use a hot glue gun for quick bonding.

Insert a wooden skewer (like a kebab skewer) in the center of the large ball.

Push the skewer all the way in and then adjust it with a pair of scissors so that only 4 cm remains outside of the ball.

Push the polystyrene ball Ø 7 cm onto the visible part of the wooden stick.

Insert 2 wooden sticks, each 9.3 cm long, into each side of the large ball to create the snowman's arms.

Place a small metal bucket upside down on the snowman's head.

Place a piece of double-sided tape on the back of 2 googly eyes Ø 2.5 cm, then stick them between the bucket and the polystyrene ball.

Using double-sided tape, stick a pompom onto a small polystyrene ball to create the snowman's nose.

You can also attach a pompom on top of the bucket.

Using double-sided tape, stick 3 buttons of assorted sizes onto the snowman's belly.

Cut a piece of ribbon about 25 cm long to create the snowman's scarf.

Adjust with a pair of scissors if necessary.
