This DIY Christmas tutorial shows you how to make your own little Snowman craft using Dollar tree socks or even your odd socks at home.
To make this no-sew Christmas Snowman you will need the following items.
White Rice or plastic craft pellets
White Children’s Socks size 4+
Christmas Socks in a smaller sock size.
Felt or scrap fabric for ears.
Chenille Pipe Cleaners-Red & White for optional candy cane
12mm White Pom-Pom
Small rubber bands, preferably clear or white.
Strong thread
Craft glue
Start by stuffing the sock with the rice or craft pellets, I prefer the pellets as they last longer and nothing is going to eat them. You need to fill the sock up until the heel. Remembering the body is going to be cut and half as half will become it’s head. The fill should be firm but not too firm as you will pull in the neckline. Once you have filled it, secure with an elastic band and trim off the top of the sock. Now find the head height and place a rubber band around the neck to give the sock a head and body shape.
Next step is the beanie. For the beanie, you will be using the top of a Christmas sock (smaller). Place it on the snowman’s head to get the right size. Tie a rubber band at the top of the beanie and then cut off the excess sock. Glue an optional bow or a pom pom on top. Glue on to the snowman.
Using the beanie sock, cut a long strip for the matching scarf. If you are making a snowman mouse you will need to make some felt ears to attach to the beanie.
Finish off your Christmas sock snowman with buttons and face.
