My Pedestal Snowman Project

 

 

 

 

My inspiration came from here

They used clay....

 

I used styrofoam

 

 

 

 

 

with gloved hands and drywall joint compound

I covered the styrofoam balls

 

just smear it on

 

 

 

 

then let the joint compound dry thoroughly 

 

 

 

paint with acrylic craft paints and let dry

 

brush on a little decoupage glue and apply glitter to the upper half of the "snowballs"

 

add buttons...

tinsel

 

 

wire arms...

 

 

 vintage style snowman face with

 a little styrofoam bump glued on for a nose...

I chose to glue my snowman to a

pedestal  (small chrome candle holder)

 

I love how he turned out !!!

I'm off to make a few more for our upcoming

Annual Church Bazaar.

  

Go here to see a different snowman I made

 for last year's Bazaar.
