Instructions
Step 1. Gather 10 craft sticks. 7 for the base and 3 for the roof and bottom.
Step 2. Using white glue connect the 7 popsicles by adding glue to the sides of the popsicle stick and sticking them together.
Step 3. Glue the final 3 popsicle sticks creating the house formation with the base piece. 2 will go on the top in a triangle creating the roof and the last will lay across the bottom.
Step 4. Grab white sticky foam and draw a snowman on the back.
Tip: Draw on the back so that you don’t see the outline in the final product.
Step 5. Cut out the snowman.
Step 6. Peel off the back of the snowman and stick it onto the center of the house.
Step 7. Draw the snowman’s arms, nose, eyes and buttons using markers.
Step 8. Grab black sticky foam and draw the snowman’s top hat.
Step 9. Cut out the top hat and stick it to the top of the snowman’s head.
Step 10. Take the shorter red chenille stem and fold it in half. Then twist it together, leaving a little untwisted at the end.
Step 11. Glue the chenille stem onto the snowman’s neck using white glue.
Step 12. Take the bigger red chenille stem and fold it in half.
Step 13. Create a loop with one side of the chenille stem, this makes half of the bow. Repeat this with the other side of the pipe cleaner.
Tip: Twist the ends of the bow around you finger to make them a bit curlier, this adds a little extra to your bow.
Step 14. Add glue to the center of the roof and paste the bow.
Step 15. Add snow to the background of your decor using white paint.
