Snowman with Craft Sticks

To create a mobile you need:

- 6 large wooden sticks (15.5 cm)

- gouache sticks (white, black)

- ribbons

- 2 googly eyes Ø 2.5 cm

- an orange cardstock

- Christmas patterns in cardstock

- rhinestone stickers

- a pair of scissors

- a glue gun

- masking tape

Align 5 sticks and hold them in place with two pieces of masking tape.

Turn the 5 sticks over and draw a line with a pencil about 4 to 5 cm from the edge. This line will define the areas to be colored in black and white.

Color the top part (the smaller one) with a solid black poster paint stick and the bottom with a white stick.

Color a sixth stick in black.

Tip: Solid poster paint applies easily and dries very quickly!

Glue the black stick perpendicularly to the five other sticks using a glue gun to create the snowman's hat.

Cut two pieces of ribbon approximately 20 cm long.

Glue the first one onto the hat using the glue gun to create a nice finish.

Glue the second one at the back of the figure with two glue dots so you can hang your creation on the tree.

Glue a Christmas pattern made of cardstock to the edge of the hat.

Attach 2 googly eyes Ø 2.5 cm.

Cut out a nose from an orange cardstock and then glue it on.

Create a lovely smile by sticking on round gem stickers.
