Snip, Stitch and Tuck Snowmen From Notions

       Some ornaments are "sew" easy they hardly take much consideration at all to assemble. Make these fun little fellows with your children on a lazy Sunday afternoon. All you need is a treasure trove of old sewing notions and an nice skein or two of white wool yarn.

What a cute way to recycle old odds and ends from your sewing box!

Supplies needed for this craft include: white wool yarn, thimbles and a flexible measuring tape, pins and needles, buttons and old hooks, old wooden spools, card stock, and hot glue gun and glue.

Step-by-Step Directions:

1. Wrap wool yarn around a bit of card stock over and over until the wool forms round balls. 
2. Attach and stack these yarn balls to each other with a long threaded needle using a similar color to the white wool.
3. Hot glue an old wooden spool or a old tin thimble to the top of the snowman's head to serve as a "hat"
4. Sew onto the snowman's face tiny odd notions: buttons for eyes, old hooks for noses, flexible measuring tape for scarfs etc...
5. Weave a thin wire hook into their backs for hanging.
