Paper Cup Snowman


This snow man is made from 3 paper cups. The bottom is the rim of the cup and the body and head are the bottoms. The hat is also the bottom of a cup. I used a hole puncher to make the holes for the candy canes to go in. I hot glued the piece and let my girls decorate.These we decorated the hats and the boots.
Scribbit is holding a Christmas Bazaar with other great Christmas ideas. Go and check them out.

I'm telling you what- YOU ARE THE CRAFT BOMB!

I wish you lived closer. You would be a great addition to my girl scout troops (I have 2 troops).

Now, I'm going to have look around and see if I have some paper cups to try this out...it looks like from the picture that it is small dixie cup type.

I used the big plastic cups but I think the dixie cups would work too.

Here is another repost, we are doing bugs at preschool, so this fits right into what we are doing. I found this cute craft on the Better Homes and Garden website. My kids saw it and could not wait to make it (because it is a bug). I made some modifications to it to make it a little easier for younger kids. Do not be scared of the paint because you do not have to use it. I know paint can be messy. You will need toilet paper roll, scissors, glue, pom-poms, paint or markers or green construction paper for the body (to make the toilet paper roll green), wiggly eyes, chenille stems, green foam sheet or construction paper and a pencil.

While the paint is drying, I get all the pieces set up to glue on. I used foam sheets to cut out legs but construction paper will work too. For the nose, I cut a triangle out of craft ...
