This “frosty” fun is great for the whole winter season and your hands won’t get to cold making him either!
Magnetic Snowman
Supplies:
1 – 8in. burner cover
1 – 10in. burner cover (come in a 2 pk at the $1 store)
buttons
magnets – round/flat/or strip
hot glue
scrapbook paper
glossy white spray paint
wire – 1 yd of 12 gauge
Step 1: Spray the tops of both covers with spray paint. Let dry.
Step 2: Turn the 10″ cover over. Stretch wire across the middle of the top half. Bend over the edges.
Shape each end like a branch for the arms…..
Step 3: Create an assortment of accessories. Buttons with magnets on the back for mouth, eyes, etc. Use googley eyes if desired. Cut out a Hat, Scarf and Nose. Laminate or cover with contact paper. Attach a strip of flat magnet to the back. Create several different hats and accessories to create different looks – ex. Sunglasses, corn cob pipe, hair wigs, etc.
