Snowflake Snowman

Today I made a quick run to The Dollar Store for hot glue when inspiration struck.  While walking down the craft isle, I spotted 2 small wreaths on a bottom shelf.  A snowman immediately popped in my mind!  I threw them in my cart and went straight for the ornament section and grabbed a big snowflake for the scarf.  Once home, my daughter and I went straight to work.

I decided to use thin string to hold the 2 wreaths together.  I also added a small loop of string to the top for the door hanger.

 

I used hot glue to attach silver ribbon (which I had on hand) as part of the scarf.  The big snowflake was placed over the ribbon and secured with string and hot glue.

 

Over the weekend I had purchased 2 boxes of glitter snowflakes from Walmart, 1 silver & 1 blue, intending to use them for a different project.  They were reasonably priced at $2.98 each. 

 

The next step is to hot glue the snowflakes.  I placed a good amount in the center of each and held it in place until it set.

 

 

I chose to do all silver on the 1st layer and stagger the blue in-between for the 2nd layer.

 

 

The finished product:
