The Head: Take your wooden button and paint it completely with the flesh colored acrylic paint. Front and back need to be painted. Once it is dry, carefully make dots for a face with your black arcylic paint. I recommend no more than 5 dots for the mouth and two larger dots of the eyes. Set aside to dry. Do not paint a nose. You will use your toothpick for the nose later..jpg "http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_wfxNl1LNTXk/SSNA5R887-I/AAAAAAAAAS8/ETinhpnHUy4/s1600-h/snowman+craft+(5).jpg")
The Hat: Take a 2″ square of your favorite material and frew the edges so it looks worn. Fold one end up to make a cuff and pull the sides together and glue (use your thumb as a guide for snowman head space). Gather the top side and tie it with a string of your choice..jpg "http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wfxNl1LNTXk/SSNDv9kXvKI/AAAAAAAAATk/EakYOxAT_qU/s1600-h/snowman+craft+(3).jpg")
Once your glue has dried you will have the hat which will fit over the top of your wooden button snowman head. Easily slip the head of your snowman into the sleve of the hat. Glue as needed.Save some of your material to match a 3″ long scarf that will tie around the neck of the snowman.
The Body: Take both your mittens and place them thumbs out. Glue them together for they form a body sweater. Glue your baby buttons on the seam as if it was a jacket for your snowman. Your snowman’s head will fit between the two mittens at the top.

Assembling the Snowman:Carefully slip the wooden head in at the top of the mittens and glue. To hide the seam, I make a scarf out of the material the hat was made from. I frey the edges and simply tie around the neck of the snowman.
Final Step – The Nose: Cut a half inch tip off your toothpick. Paint it orange, making sure that all sides are evenly painted. Glue on face once everything is done.
These snowman make great gifts or gift ties. If you are interested in make a pin, just hot glue a pin clasp on the back of the snowman’s head. If you are wanting this snowman to be a magnet, simply hot glue a round flat magnet onto the back of the snowman’s head. The weight of the wood will hold the snowman straight. DO NOT glue pin or magent on back of body – your snowman’s head will sink forward.
