b'1 TOILET PAPER SNOWMENThis is a great craft for a couple of reasons. Its so easy, its pretty much impossible to mess up. You can1customize the hat and scarf colors to match your dcor.2If you dont want to keep the snowmen for next year, just take them apart and you can still use the TP! The body of the snowman is just fabric wrapped around toilet paper rolls, and then you make a simple hat and scarf from a small cut of plaid fleece. You can sew the hat together with just one seamor you can make life even easier and use a glue gun instead of sewing.To make the snowman, you will need two rolls of toilet paper. I used mega rolls so the snowmen would be nice and fat. Ten inches of fleece; this is just under 1/3 of a yard. Fleece is often on sale for $3-4 a yard this time of year. Two 18-inch squares of white fabric; I used inexpensive tea towels that I found at Walmart 5 for $5. You could also purchase 1/2 yard of cheap white fabric (flannel or broadcloth works well). Two buttons which are optional. 3If you dont want to glue your snowmen together you dont have to! You can just set the head on top of the body. It wont be as stable, but if its not going to get bumped it shouldnt matter. This would allow you to reuse the white fabric squares if youd likeif so, pin the buttons on instead of gluing them.2 FUN GIFTGIVING BAGSIt is so easy to create your own gift bag.
