Snowman Hoop

Supplies:

>> 6-inch wood embroidery hoop

>> White felt

>> 2 (20mm) moving eyes

>> Orange foamie

>> Black foamie

>> Red felt

>> Christmas pick

>> 18 inches of 1-1/2-inch Christmas ribbon

>> 12 inches of 1/4-inch ribbon, for a hanger

Tools:

>> Scissors

>> Low-temp glue gun and glue sticks

Directions:

1. Separate the two pieces of the wood embroidery hoop.

2. Place the white felt over the inner ring. Place the outer ring over, stretching the felt so it is taut. Tighten the screw to secure. Trim off excess felt around the hoop.

3. Place the moving eyes 1/3 down from the top screw. Glue in place.

4. From the orange foamie, cut a rounded triangle for a “carrot nose” and glue in place below the eyes.

5. From the black foamie, cut out five circular shapes for a “coal” mouth. Line up below the nose to form a mouth, and glue in place.

6. From the red felt, cut two hearts for the “cheeks.” Place one on either side of the mouth and glue in place.

7. Glue the Christmas pick to the bottom of the hoop, off to one side.

8. Using the wide Christmas ribbon, tie a bow. Glue the bow next to the pick.

9. Tie the narrow ribbon to the hoop’s screw at the top to fashion a hanger.
