Here are the SmoothfoamTM

products I used in my project: 

 You will also need 1/8" dowel

(cut into three 1" lengths)

acrylic paints: white, light green,

dark brown, dark green, red, orange, black.

Fabric scrap, child's sock, small wood heart,

1/4" button plug, 1" flat wood circle,

snowflake stencil, dimensional textured snow

 Paint the SmoothfoamTM brick with

two coats of light green paint.

Shade around the brick with dark brown.

Add some holly leaves and the word snow.

Shade around each design element

with dark brown.

Highlight the holly leaves with white.

Add red paint to the bottom third

of each letter.  When dry, shade the very

bottom of each letter with a second

coat of red paint.

 Sand lightly with a sanding block

to remove some of the paint.

Use the handle of a paint brush to add

red dip dots to the holly leaves.

Outline the design with black paint.

Paint the wood circle with white paint.

Paint the 1/4" button plug with orange.

Blush cheeks with pink powder blush.

Add a smiley mouth with black.

Use craft glue to attach the circle to the 

SmoothfoamTM base.

 

Use a 1/8" dowel to help hold the SmoothfoamTM

balls while painting.  Paint the balls white.

Sand one side of each 1" length dowel into

a rounded tip.  Paint dowels orange.

Use a dot of craft glue to secure the

painted dowel into the hole in the ball.

Blush cheeks with pink powder blush.

Seal with a sparkle glaze

(clear sealer with glitter).

Dot eyes and mouths with black paint.

Spray paint child's sock with red.

Cut the toe off the sock.

 Put the sock onto the snowman,

smoosh top of hat down and use

craft glue to secure.
I just love that word.  Smoosh.
Kind of a combination
of Smash and Squish,
but with the vowels changed.
Oh, nevermind.

 Wrap the fabric scrap around the

bottom of the snowman;

secure with craft glue.

My eight-year-old said
he really liked my
"cowboy" snowman.  Pfft!!

 Secure each snowman head to

the base with craft glue.

Paint small wood heart red.
Once the paint is dry, add a coat
of sparkle glaze

and attach to the sock hat.

 

Use a toothpick to apply textured snow

to the carrot noses and to

the base of each snowman head.
