Swap Round 2 #2 Snowmen

Hi crafty fans!

My scrappy group of friends just finished 

our #2 Swap for this round.

The theme was snowmen.

Here is my project.

I started with some aluminum foil

that I shaped into a snowman's head.

I wish I had thought to take pictures of the

process, but I totally forgot.

All I did was tear up some news paper

and dip it in a mixture of flour and water.

I layered it onto the foil head and let it dry.

It took a couple layers, as I wanted to be sure it

was good and strong.
I then painted the head with craft paints.

For the collar, I accordion folded a page 

from an old book and painted it with

a cream colored paint, I then glued it into

a circle to create the collar.
I used gold paint to add a bit of color to the 

collar.  The head was adhered with 

Fabri-Tac adhesive and I added a simple bow

to dress him up a little bit.

For his hat, I used a small container from 

diabetic test strips, covered

it with black card stock and glued it to a brim.

The box is a square jewelry box that I had

in my craft room.

I painted it with gold paint, then used some 

distressink to "grunge" it up a bit.

I then covered the

whole thing with Mod Podge.

I think he turned out very cute and I hope

my friend likes him as much as I do.

Thanks for stopping by and spending time here.
