Assembling the Pillow Snowman

1. Tie the scarf around the pillow about 1/3 of the way down. The head is now formed.

2. Loosely hand stitch the mittens to each side using a matching color of thread.

3. Do the same for the three buttons down the front and the two for the eyes.

4. For the nose, cut out a carrot shape from lightweight cardboard and then hot glue orange cording to one side of the cardboard. Orange felt can also be used for the nose.

5. Place a loop Velcro dot on the back of the nose and the hook Velcro dot on the pillow to hold the nose in place.

6. Draw a mouth on the case with 3D paint*.

7. Pull the two upper corners of the pillow together and safety pin them to form the head shape.

8. Place a hat on the head and tuck in the silk flower.

Isn't he adorable? I think he needs a companion.

*If you want to be able to use the pillowcase again, do the mouth out of black felt and use another set of Velcro dots to attach.
