Snowman kit
By Veronique Christensen — Wednesday, December 23rd, 2009
Tor was given the most awesomnest gift ever today — a snowman kit! One of the parents at Tor’s school made this set, and I need to meet them to tell them how much they rock.
The snow was too powdery today to make a snowman so I stuck the pieces in a big drift to give you an idea of what it looks like. After I took this picture, Tor went back outside to move the flower from “her” hair into “his” hand. Turns out our snow-drift is a he.
Each piece is hot-glued to golf tees that you just poke into the snow. The gloves are sewn fabric, and the carrot nose is a sewn and stuffed felt cone. The eyes and buttons are all Sculpy clay. So simple. So perfect!
Simple pleasures…and gifts can sometimes be the most meaningful! We have one too and put it aside a few years ago only to rediscover it again for this blizzard. Too much fun!!!
