Paint the caps and tops of the bottles as shown in the picture. - Make Scarves and Coats
Tie on ribbons or thin strips of fabric. Then glue on buttons, as shown. - Make Faces
Glue on googly eyes and paint the dotted mouths. Then glue on a red button or an orange clay carrot for a nose. Or, make up your own face designs.Let your snowmen hold up a few books or just decorate your desk. You’ll never have to worry about them melting!
