Cased this adorable little snowman from TanYam23 Gallery at Splitcoaststampers Thanks so much for the instruction on how to make this. These are absolutely the cutest!!
How to:
Face is drawn freehand with sharpie. Don't forget to add the pink cheeks. I cut bottom of the baby sock in strips to make the top of the hat. Tie ribbon through ornament hanger & slip sock over it.Then hot glue the hat on to ornament. Twisted the orange wire around a sharp pencil to make the nose then hot glued that on. Also tied ribbon around the hat & tied bow. I think thats it. Didn't take more than 20 minutes once I got started. Make sure you have a new sharpie, mine was a little old so it didnt color in the face as well as I hoped. I will go over it again when I get a new one.
Ok I found out that it wasn't exactly my sharpie that was the problem because even the new one didn't give me the look I wanted so I went to Michaels & bought a black paint pen & it worked perfect! I draw the face with the sharpie then use the paint pen to go over it. It does take a few minutes to dry though. I am still using the pink sharpie for the cheeks.

thanks for adding the instructions - just one more question - did you buy an irredescent ornament - or is it a clear one that has been painted or filled. If so - what did you use on the inside of the ornament?
