Pom-Pom Snowman Magnet or Pin

Difficulty: Easy

Parental supervision is recommended

Keep fridges and bulletin boards looking festive with this snowman magnet or pin. Kids get a kick out of drawing the faces and features on it. 

What you'll need:

  • Three white pom-poms (ours are 1/2 inch round)
  • Two wiggle eyes
  • Red sock or felt
  • Black felt
  • Thin marker to trace on felt
  • Tacky glue or hot glue
  • Tip of an orange crayon, or piece of Fimo clay, felt, or construction paper
  • Popsicle stick or piece of cardboard
  • Magnet strip with adhesive or jewelry pin
 

How to make it:

  1. Take three pom-poms and glue to popsicle stick. (see photo)
  2. Take an old red sock and cut an 1/2" inch wide by eight inch strip out of the cuff.
  3. Tie the "scarf" around the snowman's neck.
  4. Glue on wiggle eyes.
  5. Cut buttons out of scraps of black felt and glue on snowman.
  6. Depending on the type of nose you want for your snowman, glue on a tip of a crayon, shape a piece of Fimo into a carrot shape, or cut some orange felt or construction paper. Glue on to snowman's face.
  7. Cut a rectangle out of black felt three inches by four inches long.
  8. Glue the short ends together to make the hat.
  9. Trace around the top of the hat to make a circle to fit. Cut out and glue on one end of the hat.
  10. Trace around the bottom of the hat, making the circle slightly larger to make the brim. Cut out.
  11. Stuff the hat lightly with felt scraps to help it keep the shape.
  12. Glue the brim to the bottom of the hat.
  13. Glue the hat onto the snowman's head and anchor onto the popsicle stick.
  14. Glue a magnet strip to the back of the popsicle stick.
  15. When all is dry, put on your refrigerator and enjoy!
  

Tips:

 Note: If your sock cuff is not long enough, cut a one inch wide strip. Then cutting down the middle of the strip, stop right before reaching the end. Straighten out and this will make a longer strip to tie around the snowman's neck.
