Button Snowmen...

These are great little onaments or on cards or gifts...

A quick little mini ornament/gift decoration.
The tallest one is about an inch high.
They go together really quickly with a few buttons, felt scraps, and craft glue.
Oh, and very tiny scissors.

Snowman Freebie...

It looks like an invasion of snowmen...LOL...This little snowman is another oldie but goodie...I gave the graphic away as a freebie last year and have had several requests for it this year sooooo here he is...
"Snowman Candy Wrapper"

This graphic may be sized to fit almost anything, from rolls of Lifesavers or Rolos to coffee cans and microwave popcorn. It works especially well when wrapped around your favorite size of Hershey bar.

The hats can be made out of felt, fleece, Christmas socks or the cutest thing I've seen is knit gloves...The scarfs can be made from scraps of fabric, felt, fleece or ribbon as well. It's also fun to add buttons, little snowflakes and other doodads to make them really fancy...

Several Hugsisters from the PcCrafter message board were kind enough to send me pictures of their snowman creations and I do appreciate their help...sorry to say that I could'nt use all the pictures but here's a sampling of what you can do with this simple piece of art...

I think these are wrapped around microwave popcorn...

love the little jingle bells!

Lifesaver snowmen are the cutest! It looks like she used the finger of some knitted gloves for the hat...and added some tiny snowflakes and yarn for the scarf...cute,cute,cute!

This is your basic Hershey bar with a felt hat...I sold a bunch of snowmen just like this last year at my craft shows...they where my best sellers!

So there you have it...my gift to you...again...now go forth and craft my friends... This lil' snowman was created to give others joy... and I hope that he will continue to make people smile for years to come...Hope you have a wonderful, joyful, Christmas season.

Hugs, Laurie

Snowman Wreath

It's Tuesday...so that means Tool Time! Where are we going this week? The electrical department of the hardware store. Why?...for these little lovelies. Cable ties. I LOVE them. I use them for so many things: controlling the wire nightmare behind the computer, keeping electrical cords gathered together when storing them, holding evergreen garland to the railing and so much more. Today I'll be using these cable ties to make a snowman wreath for the front door.




The ties come in many different sizes, colors and also come in multi packs.



One side of the tie is smooth and the other has little tiny teeth. Once you insert the pointy end into the little opening in the box, the teeth will start to click. It will stay put where ever you stop the tie.

You can cinch it right up nice and tight to the item and it will not come undone until you cut it off.

Here is a quick idea for a different style wreath for your front door. Just take 3 wreaths in graduated sizes (this picture is of the backs of the wreaths). I used 2-3 ties to secure one wreath to the other.

Here is a close up. Once you have it cinched up to the tightness you'd like, you can snip the ends of the ties with wire cutters.

Quick and easy snowman wreath! Just add a scarf, hat and twigs for the arms!

I didn't have a black top hat so I took an old hat of my moms that had a rim on it, added a stretchy ski hat that I stuffed with plastic bags to keep it standing up. Added a ribbon, some berries and a little red cardinal!

I also secured the twigs to the back with the cable ties.

Too cute!
