I created these fun winter shapes for my friends out of felt. For the snowman I drew a basic snowman shape on white felt and cut it out. Next I cut some blue felt into a semi circle and glued it on the snowman’s head for a hat. For the scarf I just drew a scarf shape on the same blue felt, cut it out and glued it on the snowman’s neck. I then glued a pom pom ball to the top of the hat and a snowflake sequin to the snowman’s body for decoration. I also added some small dots to the hat and scarf with acrylic paint. Once everything was dry my last step was drawing on the buttons and carrot nose with black and orange markers and then adding my friend’s names with a purple marker.
For the cup of hot cocoa I drew a cup shape on a piece of magenta felt. For the cocoa part I cut a semi circle out of some light brown material I had and glued it to the top of the cup. For the marshmallows I dipped a small sponge brush in white paint and stamped it onto the cocoa. I also wrote my friends names with a purple marker and added some more acrylic paint dots to the cup for decoration. Once the paint and glue were dry I added some snowflake stickers for an extra touch!
These were really fun projects to do for winter and turned out really great! The thing that surprised me the most was how well the markers showed up on the felt. My felt was very light and thin though so if you use thicker felt the marker might not work as well. Paint pens or markers specifically made for writing on fabric might be a good alternative. It also would have been really cool to use small white pom pom balls for the hot cocoa because they would look more like real marshmallows. But unfortunately I didn’t have any on hand. Small buttons would have also worked well for the snowman’s buttons had I had any that were small enough. Overall I enjoyed doing these projects and they would work with any materials you have on hand.
Happy Creating!
