Porch Snowman
Materials:
  • Large foam pillow
  • White pillow case
  • Five 2" black buttons
  • Five 1 1/2" black buttons
  • Scarf
  • Touque
  • 8" x 10" piece orange felt
  • fibre fill
  • newspaper
Instructions:
  1. Put the pillow case on the pillow. Stand the pillow on end, open side of the pillow case at the top.
  2. Tie the scarf around the pillow about 1/3 of the way from the top.
  3. The portion of the pillow that's above the scarf is the head. Sew to 2" black buttons for eyes, and make a smile by sewing on five 1 1/2" black buttons in a U shape.
  4. To make the nose, cut a large triangle out of the felt. Make it as large as the felt piece allows. Fold the triangle in half and sew closed along the length of the triangle. Stuff with a little fibre fill. Stitch the open ends to the snowman.
  5. Sew the three remaining buttons on below the scarft (as the snowman's buttons).
  6. Stuff the touque with a little crumpled newspaper and place it on the snowman's head, tucking in the loose ends of the pillow case.
