A couple of times back, my mom-in-law requested me to make her a snowman pin for her wintertime coat. I could not locate a pattern that I liked so I made a decision to just make my very own. This project is definitely uncomplicated to make…you can do hand stitching or use your sewing machine. (I did hand stitching). You can omit the hat and leave his head simple if sought after.
Provides To Wanted
scraps of cotton batting or cotton felt
scraps of homespun material
poly fiber fill (for stuffing)
eyes – black seed beads
nose – orange wooden toothpick or orange clay nose
needle and off-white stitching thread
all-function craft glue
tiny pom-poms
scissors
pin backs (if making pins)
gold metallic hanging wire (if earning ornaments)
disappearing ink pen

Batting/Felt: You need to have to minimize your batting into rectangles which evaluate 1″ on all sides greater than your pattern.
Stage 1: Area two batting rectangles ideal-sides together. Centre your pattern on to the cotton batting and trace all over it with a disappearing ink pen.
Move 2: Working with a stitching needle with thread or a stitching equipment, sew immediately on your traced line the entire way close to your sample. Once completed, use scissors to trim shut (but not on) your stitched line. Transform your snowman above to the again facet and make a 1 1/2″ slit in his body. Transform him correct side out. Frivolously things with poly fiberfill and hand sew the opening shut.
Move 3: Reduce a little rectangle from homespun material and glue one of the shorter edges beneath. Following, glue the two extended edges jointly to variety a tube. Set apart to dry. Slice a piece of homespun cloth that steps 1/4″ by 5″ long and tie it all around the snowman’s neck to variety his scarf. If required, trim the ends if they are also extended.
Phase 4: Working with craft glue, adhere two little black seed beads to his confront for eyes. For his nose, you can break off a picket toothpick and paint it orange or you can make an orange clay carrot shaped nose.
Stage 5: Glue the folded underneath brief edge of your cloth tube to the major of your snowman’s head as shown in the photograph. You may have to keep this in put for a moment or two.

Step 6: If you are turning him into a vacation ornament, thread a piece of gold metallic wire through the top of his hat. If you are turning him into a coat pin, glue a metal bar pin back again to his backside.
