Instructions
Prepping the Pieces
- Cut (8) 3.5-inch circles from black card stock for the buttons and smiles. We used a small bowl to trace the circles.
- Cut (4) 4.5-inch circles from black card stock for the eyes. We used the lid from a sour cream container to trace the circles.
- Cut out (6) half-inch x 3-inch rectangle strips from black card stock for the eyelashes for the snow woman.
- Cut out (2) triangles from red card stock with a 5-inch base and 5 inches long for the snow women’s bow.
- Cut out (1) 2-inch circle from red card stock for the center of the bow.
- Cut out 2 triangles with a 4-inch base that extends 6 inches long from orange card stock for the carrot noses.
- When assembling the door you will cut out the ribbon pieces for the scarf.
Assembling the Snowman
- Using a low tack tape create a loop and stick to the back of the large black circles for the eyes and place them at the top of the door. Repeat for the second door. For the snow women door add 3 eyelashes to the corner of each eye and slightly curl the ends if desired.
- Next, add tape to the back of the carrot nose pieces and attach just below the eyes. Repeat for the other door.
- For the snow woman door attach the 2 red triangles above one of the eyes at the corner and add the small red circle to form the bow.
- Next, attach one of the smaller circles centered underneath the carrot nose and space out the rest of the circles to form a smile. Repeat for the other door.
- On the lower third of the door attach the 3 remaining circles to form the buttons, use the nose and middle smile circle as a guide to line them up.
- Line up the ribbon with the doorknob at the center of the door. Tape ribbon to the corner of the door. Wrap the end around the doorknob and determine the desired length for the scarf tails. Cut the ribbon and attach another piece of ribbon the same length and tape under the doorknob to form a second tail for the scarf.
- If desired attach Christmas lights with tape around door frame.
Expert Tips & FAQs
- Use whatever ribbon color makes you happy, however I do suggest using the wired ribbon. It makes it easier to position your ribbon the way you want it.
- Instead of block for the buttons, try a different color like light blue or green, and draw two dots in the center to resemble real buttons!
