SUPPLIES NEEDED:

- Clothespin
- White Poster Paint
- Paint Brush
- Yarn
- Scissors
- Kraft Paper
- Pencil
- Black Marker
- Pompom
- Hot Glue

Directions to make Clothespin Snowman Craft:

1. Paint your clothespin white.

2. Using your black marker, draw your snowman’s eyes, mouth, and body buttons.

3. Cut a small portion of your pompom to make the snowman’s nose.

4. Roll the small pompom between your thumb and forefinger until you create a carrot-shape nose.

5. Hot glue the nose onto the snowman’s face. Make sure to ask for help from an adult when using the hot glue!

6. Draw two twig hands on kraft paper.

7. Cut them out.

8. Press the bottom part of the clothespin to open and insert the cutout hands one on each side. You can apply glue if you want the hands to be permanently attached to the snowman.

9. Cut a piece of yarn for the scarf.

10. Fold the thread in half to create a loop and place it at the back part of the snowman. Get the two cord ends and slip it through the loop.

11. Tighten the knot and your snowman is ready to show off to your friends and family!
