Supplies:

• 3 – 20mm wooden beads
• Markers – black an orange
• Twine
• Scissors 
• Tape (optional)
• ¼ inch Ribbon 

Snowman Ornament Directions:

Use the black marker to draw “eyes” on one of the beads.

Use the orange marker to draw the “nose” underneath the eyes.

Use the black marker to draw a mouth under the “eyes”.

Cut a 12 inch length of twine.

Tie a double knot, making a 1-2 inch loop, leaving about ¼ inch of twine hanging off the end.

Thread the bead that you just made the snowman face on through the unlooped end of the twine. Thread it up over the ¼ inch of twine from the previous step too.

NOTE: If you are having trouble threading the bead, this is where the tape comes in. Wrap a piece around the bottom of the twine where you are threading the beads. It will help them slide on easier.
