MedARTation Project 7....Felt Snowman

Well...it's beginning to look alot like Christmas...at least it is in the crafting work as folk get busy makig Christmas crafts for gifts and fairs.

I've made a few christmas tree decorations including a cute snowman which was really easy to make and uses the same templates as the Hedgehog and Sheep..

 
 
You will need:

2 pieces of white felt for the body
Black Felt
Ribbon
Buttons, sequins and pom poms
Pipe Cleaner

 
Start by sewing the pom pom on for the nose, 2 sequins for eyes and some buttons

 
 
Stitch a hanging loop to the back..position the stitching so it will be covered by the hat...

 
 
Cut out a felt hat to a shape of your choosing and add a few sequins for added detail...

 
Stitch the hat to the 2 body pieces and using a blanket stitch fix the 2 body pieces together. Make sure you leave a gap to add some stuffing and then close up.
 
* If you would like to add arms - use the pipe cleaners and stitch them in place at this stage. To be honest - I got so carried away with what I was doing I forgot to add them to this snowman, but will add to others. It's good to have some variety anyway :o)

 
Finally add some ribbon for a scarf ...attach using a cross stitch at the front and back.
 
 
And there you have it ....a cute Christmas Tree Decoration.
 
I hope you like it.
 
I will be adding some more Christmas projects to the blog, so keep checking in.
