Simple Hurricane Snowman
Last week I posted pictures of our early Christmas tree, but I didn’t post the entire reason why our tree was up so early. The real reason it’s up so early is because of a deal I made with my youngest daughter, who is also my little shadow. I told her we could decorate the tree if we saw any Christmas decorations in our neighborhood. Wouldn’t you know it, on a trip to the Dollar store, someone had a huge lighted tree on their roof! Funny how these things never work in my favor, but a deal was a deal and out came our tree.
Simple Hurricane Snowman
- polyester fiber fill (you can use plain white paper or cotton balls)
- saran wrap
- glass hurricanes
- wine bottle hat & scarf toppers (you can substitute colored paper or fabric)
- plastic pick
- small rubber band
- black pen (optional)
- white paper (optional)
- one or more eager children (optional, but fun to have)
After dumping out all the sea shells, fill each hurricane with polyester fill and replace the top. If you don’t have fiber fill, you can use cotton balls, white beans, or even plain printer paper. The possibilities are endless. Here is what it looks like after it is filled.
Here comes the fun part. To make the snowman head, you’ll need Saran wrap, polyester fill, and the rubber band. First, cut off a large piece of Saran wrap. Large enough to wrap around a large handful of polyester fill and make into a large ball.
Place the snowman head on top of your hurricane candle holder and insert the pick into it. Leave enough of the pick sticking up to place your bottle hat onto.
