Let’s Build a Snowman

Last week I admitted I have an obsession with snowmen (here). Living in Florida we will not be building any snowmen any time soon, but many of you are living in snow-covered areas. When I saw “Build a Snowman Kit” on Pinterest I knew I had to make one. Thankfully, my sister lives in an area that does get snow.

The kit was easy to make but I could not get the words to “Frosty the Snowman” out of my head. Corn-cob pipes are not politically correct but I did keep the eyes made out of coal. I guess the buttons could also be for a nose, but I think the carrot is more traditional. I included two scarves and two sets of buttons to allow for some variety.

My Snowman Obsession

Hello, my name is Rebecca, and I have an obsession with snowmen.

I find snowmen to be soooo cute. During the winter holidays my house is full of these whimsical characters. This year I found a way to add another one to the bathroom.

The way I calculate it the project was practically free. I always need soap in the bathrooms, so I would have bought it anyway, and I had the paint and brushes on hand from another project.

I began with a bottle of white hand soap (well 2 actually).

Step one – remove the label. I have found that rubbing alcohol helps to remove the sticky residue that is left.

Step two – use acrylic paint to create a super cute face. A Q-tip works great for the dots.

Step three – when the paint is dry, wash your hands.

I loved how they turned out. I put one by my kitchen and the other one in the kids bathroom. The soap is now almost gone (I’m a little behind in posting my projects) but the face is still there.  These will be making another appearance at my home next December.

If you decide to make these, I would love to see some pictures.

Have I ever told you I LOVE snowmen. I don’t know what it is about them that drives me to them. Maybe its the dream of a white Christmas, or childhood memories of playing in the snow, or just watching the snow fall when there is a full moon.

Living in warmer climates, I don’t get to experience snow much. And now that I am moving to Florida, snow will be not be expected for a long time. But that’s okay. Every December I pull out my snowmen collection. Now I have a new item… a Florida snowman towel. Isn’t he cute!
