Instructions
- Fill ¾ of the sock with rice. Tie the first rubber band tightly just above the rice to create the bottom part of the snowman.
- Repeat step one to create the middle part of the snowman.
- Fill the top part with cotton and leave about 4-5 inches of space. Secure the area with a rubber band. At this point, your sock snowman should be able to stand.
- Fold the remaining part over itself to create a beanie.
- Attach the buttons using the hot glue gun. Use one color for the eyes, another for the mouth, and another for the shirt (middle part). You can also use a marker to draw the mouth.
- Tie the small piece of fabric on top of the upper rubber band. This becomes the scarf.
- Make two holes on the sides of the snowman and place the two sticks to create arms. Push them in so they don’t fall out. You can also secure them with hot glue.
- If you have more decorations, put them on the snowman.
