skinny snowman

I saw this snowman at my mom's so I thought I'd share him with you.  

This was a project from 2 years ago, BB (before blogging).  

I saw the idea for Snowman Pavers in a magazine.  

Family Fun, I believe.  I looked all over for those funny shaped pavers.  Never found them.  So I settled for thin ones (they were ~.40 a piece).  

I sprayed them white..added a felt scarf 

(no pattern needed..just cut strips of felt & snipped the ends to look like fringe).  

Added poms and pipe cleaner for earmuffs.  

Googly eyes, pom for a nose & mouth drawn on with my fave black Sharpie.  

I was lucky enough to have a collection of buttons 

from my great-grandmother.  

I made several of these little guys and gave them as gifts 

to my mom, aunts and uncle.

(it was their grandmother's buttons)

   

I realize that snowmen are usually round and much bigger...

but hey, I live in Florida :)

Sometimes you gotta work with what you've got!
