A step-by-step guide to make a festive snowman card
Instructions:
- Pick Your Colour! Choose your favourite colour of card and fold it in half. ❄️
- Write a Festive Message! Think about who you want to give this winter wonder to and write a fun festive message inside. 🎄
- Build Your Snowman! Grab those fluffy white pom-poms, you can use glue sticks or PVA to attach them, to create your snowman, start with a few for the head and a few more for the body. ☃️
- Add a Fun Face! Time to give your snowman some character! Stick on googly eyes, add a bright orange triangle for the carrot nose, you can carefully cut out small black circles (or use coloured pens) for the smile. 😊
- Decorate with Buttons! Give your snowman some style by gluing buttons down his front. Use gluesticks or PVA glue to make sure they stay in place.
- Don’t Forget the Scarf! Cut a strip of felt and wrap your snowman in a warm, cosy scarf to keep him toasty! 🧣
- Add Some Sparkle! Grab your gluestick and add some sparkly snow or glitter to your card. Create a snowy scene or add a dash of festive magic wherever you like! ✨
