Frosty Snowmen

Balls of Styrofoam form the shapes of these jolly snowmen. Classic cold-weather accessories include stocking caps, scarves, and earmuffs in jovial shades of red.
What you need:
Styrofoam balls in two or three sizes Small black pom-poms Felt Scissors Styrofoam glue White tempera paint Glitter Toothpicks Floral foam

To make:
Decide which ball will be the "base" of your snowman and cut about 1/2" off the bottom so your creation can stand. Paint and glitter Styrofoam balls using the technique outlined below. When paint is dry, stack balls with toothpicks, using Styrofoam glue to hold them together. Dress the snowmen with hats, scarves, earmuffs, and other winter gear cut from felt. Add black pom-poms for eyes and mouth.
To paint shapes:
Prepare a container for each color of paint you have selected. Insert toothpicks into Styrofoam shapes, and dip each shape quickly into paint. Pull shape out of the paint, and hold it over the container, allowing excess paint to drip off. To add sparkle, roll shape in glitter while paint is still wet. Using the free end of the toothpick, stand shapes in floral foam to dry. When paint is dry (after about 24 hours), remove shapes from toothpicks and make crafts.
