Building a Snowman

Wintery~Snowy~Glittery~Snowman

We built this snowman for a client. It consists of a chicken wire base built over a sturdy wooden base, layers and layers of batting topped with crafting snow, lightly sprayed with glue and sprinkled with fake snow from Pottery Barn, followed by a layer of mica we found at Roger's Gardens, and then a sugery layer of snow glitter we found at Michaels. We decorated it with a scarf made from an old sweater, a stove-pipe hat made from felt, and a snowman face kit found at Restoration Hardware. We gave him some rosey cheeks by using a pinky-red blush. He is a charmer!
Christmas decor brings out the child in us.

A forest of snow covered trees with pops of red Cardinals here and there.

~Whimsy and joyous holiday decorating to you and all your household~
