Equipment

  • Scissors
  • Ruler
  • Diagonal cutters (optional)
  • Tape measure
  • Hot glue and a hot glue gun

Materials

  • 8 " round wire wreath form
  • 12 " round wire wreath form
  • 3 yards white cotton fabric
  • 9 "x12" black foam sheet
  • Orange foam sheet if making a nose
  • Blue satin fabric, or fleece for scarf (about 12" wide x 26" long)
  • Blue satin fabric, fleece, or ribbon for hat detail (10" x 12" folded to 10" x 2.5")
  • 1, plastic snowflake 4" in diameter
  • 2 zip ties

Instructions

  • Attach two wreath forms together with two zip ties. Trim the ends of the zip ties with diagonal cutters.
  • Cut the white fabric into strips 7″ wide by 1″ thick. 
  • Tie the strips on both of the wreath forms until completely covered.
  • Keep tieing and pushing the strips together so they create a nice, full wreath.
  • Once you have all the fabric on the wreath forms, take the wreath outside and shake all of the frayed ends off of it.
  • Print the hat pattern and cut it out. 
  • Place the hat pattern onto a piece of black foam, lining the top of the hat up with the top of the foam. Trace and cut out the hat.
  • To place the band around the hat, use a piece of fabric or ribbon about 2.5″ wide and 10″ long.
  • Wrap around the front of the black foam and affix with hot glue on the back.
  • Affix a plastic snowflake onto the hat with hot glue. You can use another decoration or just skip this if you want. 
  • Hang the wreath on your wall or door and place the hat on the top. Once you figure out where you want the hat on the snowman, hot glue it onto the snowman’s head where you want it. Tuck in any loose white ends from the fabric or trim as desired.
  • Cut a long piece of fabric for the scarf. Fold the scarf in half, wrap it around the neck of the snowman and thread the loose end through the loops. Adjust as necessary.
  •  If using a nose, cut the pattern and trace it onto an orange foam sheet. Cut out the nose and glue it to the wreath with hot glue.
