Today the "snowman kit" was back out! My friend Shelly Hickox came over last week to make snowmen and I loved the way her vintage Snowman jar turned out. Shelly kindly left an old bottle behind so I could make my own. Here it is! I love it even more than my original snowman. (See earlier post about our play date inspired by Cloth Paper Scissor Magazine.) I still haven't gotten the hang of "browning" my stuff up so it looks truly old. I just can't resist the sparkle of it all!

Hi Suzanne!
Love the snowmen you and Shelly made. What kind of clay did you use for his head?

Hi Debbie! We didn't use clay. I bought some styrofoam balls from Hobby Lobby and we covered them with a dense sheet of natural cotton batting. (Like they use for the inside of quilts, but cotton instead of polyester.) The product is very soft and has a beautiful cream color that looks vintage. Wrapping the balls definitely took some maneuvering! It was easier to glue the cotton to our fingers than the styrofoam, but it all worked out. Any glue that got through the cotton held the glitter in place.
