For Each Clothespin Snowman You Will Need

• Large wooden clothespin
• Wooden spool and wooden circle cutout for the hat
• 2 wooden hearts and 1 star
• Round toothpick for nose
• Black pipe cleaner for arms
• Ribbon for scarf
• Acrylic paint and paintbrushes

Paint the clothespin white, star cutouts green, heart red, and spool and circle black. For the nose, paint the ends of the toothpick orange.

Cut the painted toothpick about ¼” long and glue it to the face. Paint black eyes and a black mouth. You can paint black buttons on the snowman if you want.

For the arms, overlap ends of chenille stem ½” and glue together to form a loop. Glue the overlap at back of neck for the arms of the clothespin snowman. Glue star and heart cutouts to front of arms.

Cut 5 ½” of ribbon and knot scarf around the neck. For the hat, glue spool to center of circle cutout and glue the hat to the head. For the hanger, glue a thin piece of ribbon or cord in the hole at the top of the spool.

You will want to make a lot of these because you can put them anywhere to decorate the house.
