    Prepare all tools and supplies such as:

    scissors, wide tape, super glue, pins, thread, white terry sock, buttons, scrap fabric and about 1kg of rice.

    Obraz

    Cut off the foot part of the sock just few inches before the heel. The foot part is going to be a hat later on.

    Obraz

    ...and this part is going to be the body!

    Obraz

    Turn it on the left side before you tie the end with a thread.

    Obraz

    Take a piece of thread and wrap the end of the cut sock very tight with it

    Now turn it back to the right side.

    Obraz

    Take the wide tape ring and pull the cuff of the sock through it. Stretch it over the tape ring to make it more comfortable to pour the rice into it.

    Obraz

    Pour the rice into the sock, you can use the measuring dish instead of a spoon, it’ll probably be faster. The more rice you add, the more bumpy your snowman will be, but we estimated 1kg was the limit.

    Obraz

    Shape Snowman’s body a bit before you tie it on top and shape his head

    Obraz

    Tie the top with a thread to close the body. Do it firm to avoid the rice from coming out.

    Obraz

    Cut the thread leftover, we want him to be smart and handsome!

    Obraz

    Shape the head by tying a thread around the “neck” few times.

    Obraz

    Now it is time to become a real stylist. Go creative here, and give him the best clothes you can make!

    Obraz

    Warm him up with a scrap fabric scarf...

    Obraz

    Fold the foot part of the sock 2 or 3 times to make a cosy hat

    Obraz

    Pour a little bit of super glue onto the button and carefully stick it to his belly (you may optionally use double sided tape!). Do the same thing with a second button.

    Obraz

    The most important part is the face that means personality ;) Take three pins and make this cute, little face appear!
