  1. Cut a pack of 8 oz. white Model Magic into 4 equal pieces with a plastic knife.

  1. Choose beads or buttons to use for the eyes, nose, and buttons for the snowman. Press them into the Model Magic.
  2. Use a small piece of orange pipe cleaner to create the carrot nose.
  3. Add 2 sticks for the arms.
  4. Wrap the ribbon around the snowman's neck for a scarf and secure it with a dot of hot glue.
  5. Cut the black felt into a 1" circle, a 1 1/2" circle, and a 1 1/2" x 3" rectangle. Hot glue these 3 parts to create a cylinder form to make the top hat. The rectangle is rolled and glued into a barrel shape, gluing the circles at the top and bottom.
  6. Glue the top hat onto your snowman's head.
  7. Your snowman is finished!
