What you’ll need

  • A white sock
  • A festive sock (can be fluffy or just a cotton one)
  • Some rice
  • Scissors
  • Glue
  • Two elastic bands or some thin thread
  • Some buttons / pipe cleaners / felt tip pens to decorate

Step 1

Cut your white sock, just above the heel.

 

 

 

Step 2

Fill your white sock with rice, tie a knot at the top and trim any excess sock off.

 

 

 

Step 3

Tie either an elastic band or some thread around your filled sock, to make a head shape for your snowman.

 

 

 

Step 4

Cut the toe end of your festive sock, about half way between the heel and toe.

 

 

 

Step 5

Arrange it onto the snowman’s head to make a nice hat. You can roll the bottom up a bit and tie either an elastic band or some thread around the tip to make a bobble.

 

 

Step 6

Decorate your snowman’s body with buttons, and either glue little bits of pipe cleaners or use felt tip pens to draw a face.

 

 

 

Step 7

Cut a thin strip from your festive sock and tie it around the neck to give your snowman a matching scarf.

 

 

 

Step 8

Try experimenting with different socks and buttons to make yourself a snowman family!
