Make a Pom Pom Snowman
Snowman crafts are great for snow days or other winter days that are too yucky to play outside. This project can also be done with cotton balls instead of pom poms! There are endless possibilities for embellishing the basic snowman – this is a great time to dig the scraps out of your stash and use them up.

Supplies Needed to Make a Pom Pom Snowman
- 3″ Styrofoam egg

- Foam cup
- Flat marbles
- Medium white pom-poms
- 2 medium red pom-poms
- 1 medium orange pom-pom

- 7 tiny black pom-poms
- 3 medium green pom-poms
- 1 gold pipe cleaner
- 1″ wide strip of green felt

Cut the large end off the Styrofoam egg to give the bottom a flat surface. Insert toothpick into Styrofoam ball, then insert the ball and toothpick into the round end of the egg.
Using white craft glue, cover the entire ball and egg with white pom-poms.
Turn foam cup upside down and hot glue flat marbles around the inside rim of the foam cup. This will give the bottom of your snowman some weight so that he doesn’t fall over.
Glue the flat end of the egg to the bottom of the foam cup. Cover the foam cup with white pom poms. Then it’s time to embellish. Get the details on how I dressed up my pom pom snowman in the printable version of the directions below.
