For a Clyding Hanukkah for the year, wish upon a star for your indulgent Snowman to melt down the chimney pipes and switch places with the other most-wanted man of the spell - Santa.
Roll in glee with Christmas Carnivals offering information on Clyde the Snowman. Here's a wood Clyde for you, donning a mistletoe hat that covers him to just above the eyes. Right beneath his chin is a checkered bow. Cold Nose - Warm Heart! Welcome the winter season with free craft projects such as this, a simple sewing pattern for wintertime fun.
You will need a garland scrap button, couple of material scraps, hot glue, 20" jute furniture button for nose, and an old sweater - arm, muslin, orange paint, permanent marker pen and Poly Fiberfil. Cut 2 snowman head pieces out of muslin following the cut line of the pattern. Sew on the stitch line shown on pattern, leaving about an inch to turn the piece inside out. After stitching, turn inside out and stuff firmly with the Poly Fiberfil. Make sure the top of his head is covered up in glue when you add the hat. For this, Use about 8" of a sleeve from an old sweater. Place the sleeve on the head so it is covered by the sleeve, and roll the bottom section up to form a cuff. Glue his head all the way around. Now loosely tie a piece of jute around the top of the hat so as to form a secure loop for hanging. Tightly tie the jute on the top of the hat. Cut the ends off and add a small button to the center. Using a permanent marker add the dots that make up the snowman's eyes and mouth. Paint the wooden button orange. Make a bow from material scraps and glue to the bottom of his face. Is it Christmas yet? Even if it isn't, there's always time to prepare with Christmas CarnivalsClyde the Snowman.
