Do you want to make a Snow woman /Man

                                               



Materials Needed :
CardBoard ~ for circles...                                
Two large circles, = (body).            
Two Smaller circles, = ( head 
White yarn ~ for head and body.
A pair of Scissors.
            Remember you will need to make a body and a head.

Method :

1
Cut two cardboard circles. Cut a small round hole in the middle of each circle .
 Lay the circles together, without any overlap. Remember, the bigger the circles, the bigger your pom pom will be (and visa versa).

2
Wind the circles closely with yarn.
  • Wrap the first round reasonably tightly around the circles and quickly hold in place with the next round (hold with your fingers until it is secure).
  • Continue to wind the yarn around and around the circles, keeping the winding even and not leaving gaps.
  • If using delicate materials such as silk or cotton for an embroidery project, place the thread on a needle and work the thread around using the needle. If you are using wool or another heavy yarn, simply wind using your hands, as it is likely the ring will be wide enough for you to get fingers through.
3
Continue until the circles are covered completely. 
Put the scissors in between the two circles of cardboard and cut open the wound thread or yarn around the outer edge.

4
Draw a long piece of thread between the two circles. 
Tie and knot it firmly around the stitches that meet in the center hole.
  • Leave sufficiently long ends of thread hanging . So you can sew the two Pom Poms together.
  • make sure you have Two Different size Pom Poms..... ( Head & Body ).

5
Cut and pull out the cardboard once the stitches have been knotted together.
6
Snip the thread with scissors until it becomes quite fluffy and the ball is perfectly round.
7
Finished.... 



Snow Woman Or Snow Mans Face
If your making this for a child, please Remember to use  Safety Eyes, or Using thread Sew Black EYES  on and a  OrangeNose and of course don't forget the Mouth.
I used small fluffy balls, which i glued on.

To make the Hat, I used a FLOWER LOOM:( you can make or buy this at any craft shop/store, there not expensive). If you would prefer to make one, let me know and i'll post method later.
Or Design your own. .......have fun with it.

To make the scarf, i knitted using Moss Stitch, but you could make it using your own preference.
