Draw a wavy line inside the circle to represent a melted snow puddle.
Cut out the snow puddle.
Make two circles on the white cardstock. One should be about 1 inch in diameter and the second should be about 1-1/4 inches in diameter.We traced the bottom and the cap of an acrylic paint bottle (2 fluid ounce) to make our circles.
Cut out the circles and use them as a guide to cut two black felt circles (1 inch and 1-1/4 inch in diameter).Then cut a rectangle out of black felt, 1 inch wide and 2-3/4 inches long.From red felt cut out a rectangle that's 1/4 inch wide and 2-3/4 inches long.
Finally, cut another rectangular piece from red felt, 1/4 inch wide by 6-1/2 inches long.
Step 3: Make the snowman's top hat
Add a line of hot glue to the bottom of the black rectangle and attach the red rectangle to it.Then add hot glue to one of the short edges of the black strip. Line it up with the other end and connect it to make a cylinder. This will be the top part of the snowman's top hat.
Apply hot glue to the bottom of the cylinder you just made, on the edge where the red band is. Press it down in the center of the larger black felt circle.Then add hot glue to the top of the cylinder and place the smaller circle on top.
Use sharp scissors to cut around the top felt circle, trimming it as close to the glued edge as possible.You've just created an adorable top hat for your snowman!
Step 4: Make the snowman's face
Colour about 1/2 inch of the end of a toothpick with orange Sharpie marker. Cut the toothpick off at the end of the coloured part.
Use the other sharp edge of the toothpick to poke a hole in the center of a styrofoam ball. Then insert the orange part of the toothpick in the hole, sharp part sticking out.
Draw two dots for eyes with a black Sharpie, just above and to each side of the toothpick nose.
Step 5: Put the melting snowman together
Attach the snow puddle to the wood slice with hot glue.
Place a dot of hot glue on the top of the snowman's head and attach the hat. We made our hat slightly off center but you could center it on the head if you like.
Use hot glue to attach the snowman head to the top center of the snow puddle. Wrap the long red felt strip around the snowman's neck as a scarf and secure it with hot glue.Trim the edges of the scarf where they meet the edge of the wood slice. Then cut a little fringe at the ends of the scarf, cutting two to three lines that go up a bit over 1/4 inch.
Cut your twigs to be about 2 inches long. Try to use ones that have little "V"s at the ends to represent the snowman's hands.Add hot glue to the straight ends of the twigs and attach the arms by the snowman's head. Try to hide the hot glue under the snowman's scarf.
Attach three button stickers (or glue on regular buttons) below the snowman's head. These don't need to be in a straight line, since they have fallen off into the melted snow.
Step 6: Add a twine ornament hanger
Cut a 9 inch piece of twine and tie it into a knotted ornament hanger.
Apply hot glue to the knot and loose ends of the twine hanger.
Press the hanger onto the center back of the wood slice.
