First I apologize for the bright, flashy pictures. I forgot to take a picture of these guys before they were boxed up and sent to the Winter Wonderland Scrapbook/Craft Weekend. But they're too cute I had to share them. Remember this snowman I made a while back? Michelle asked if I could make them for her weekend. I knew that the way I had made them wasn't going to work. Adhering the boxes just wasn't the best way to attach them. So I tried another way. Using a craft knife I cut a small slit in the bottom (where your two pieces glue together to make the box), then I pulled the handle of the bottom box through that slit. I tried to make the slits skinny and small so that it would be a snug fit so that the bottoms wouldn't fall off. Because don't you hate it when your snowman's bottom falls off?! This worked a bazillion times better than gluing the boxes together. They're all secure and happy!
To add some character I used a black Project Life pen to draw a smile and buttons. I added googlie eyes for the eyes and punched Christmas trees with the tree punch for his carrot nose. To attach them I made a small hole in his face with my craft knife and rolled up the tree and stuck it though the hole. Sounds more painful then it was :) I promise no snowmen were harmed in the making of them. There's no adhesive on the noses. I could have added a little Tombow on the inside but I didn't think it was needed. The hats are just 1.5 squares with a 1.75 brim and a flower. A little chevron ribbon for a scarf and they were done! They were really adorable on my desk for a few days :)
Thanks for looking, see you soon!!!!
