Dress Frosty the Felt Snowman

One thing I never really realized until I was an adult and child care provider, attempting to make snowmen with my group was that it takes a special kind of snow to make a snowman. Conditions have to be right – the right amount of moisture in the snow in order for it to stick together. Every snow is not snowman making snow. No worries with this one though, you can dress Frosty the felt snowman anytime!

I made Frosty out of felt and random craft supplies I already had except for the snowman button set.

Supplies Needed:

Directions:

  1. Using the white felt, cut three circles for snowman. Hot glue together (or leave separate if you want to use the felt pieces on the floor). Cut slits for arms. Tack to wall.
  2. With a piece of black craft felt, cut a hat shape and paint black (or use white felt and paint black). Embellish as desired. Add a strip of the rough side of Velcro to back of hat.
  3. Cut boot shapes from cardboard, paint and embellish. Add a strip of the rough side of Velcro to back to the top of each boot.
  4. Choose a color of felt for mittens. Cut mitten shapes from felt. Glue together and embellish as desired.
  5. From brown craft foam: cut strips for arms. Back with strips of cardboard for firmness.
  6. Cut pieces of Velcro (rough side) and hot glue to the back of the snowman buttons.
  7. Make a scarf from fabric. I used a length of burlap ribbon and decorated it with strips of ribbon. The scarf tucks behind the snowman.
  8. Dress Frosty!
