I thought it was too late in the season to revisit our Snowman in a Bottle craft, but the Snowpocalypse has changed my mind.
From December 14, 2006:
These bottle snowmen were quite easy to make. I got the idea while I was washing the bottles (which formerly contained coffee drinks - I try to reuse such things whenever I can) and thought the metal lids looked very much akin to snowmen hats. After washing the bottles and removing the labels, I used a black Sharpie to "paint" the lids black. The kiddies and I filled the bottles with Poly-Fil for snow and used dots of Tacky glue and beads to make the faces. Bits and scraps of yarn, fabric, ribbon, and cord were used for the ties, scarves, and hats. Each snowman represents a family member.
This is such an easy - and warm - thrifty craft. It's also perfect for those of us not trapped in the Snowmageddon. I'd love to see any Snowman in a Bottle y'all make.
For those of you stuck under all that real snow, my prayers are for you and yours. I can't even imagine what it must be like for y'all. I think even Al Gore must be wishing for a little Global Warming right now.
