Tea Box Snowman

Tea Box Snowman
Total Time Needed:
1 Hour

The best part about this windowsill snowman is that he won't melt no matter how warm it gets.

Materials
  • Wooden tea box
  • Drill
  • Pipe cleaners
  • Markers
  • Piece of wide ribbon
  • Glue
  • Buttons
  • Old colored sock
  • Yarn
X

Instructions
  1. To begin, carefully take apart a small rectangular box, such as a teabag box. Turn it inside out and reassemble it, gluing together the sides but not the top.

  2. Stand the box on end and drill two small holes where a carrot nose should go (a parent's job). Bend a short orange pipe cleaner into a V-shape, insert the tips into the holes, and then bend the tips against the inside of the box to secure them.

  3. With colored markers, draw eyes and a mouth.

  4. For arms, make matching holes through the box top and bottom and thread through a long brown pipe cleaner (it's easier if you open the box for this step).

  5. Close the box, tie a ribbon scarf around it and glue on buttons. Top it all off with a ski hat made by cutting off the tube portion of colored sock, tightly tying one end with a piece of yarn and stretching the open end onto the snowman's head.
