How to Make Snowman Craft with Foam Dice

Start by applying a base coat of white acrylic craft paint to the foam dice. Allow it to dry and, if needed, add a second coat.

These particular foam dice may need two layers of white acrylic paint for optimal coverage.

Connect the three foam dice by stacking them together using a glue gun and glue sticks. For a more authentic look, slightly offset the dice as you stack them.

For the carrot nose, carefully cut a triangle shape from orange craft felt. Additionally, measure and then cut a rectangle that is one inch by twelve inches from lagoon blue craft felt.

Use a glue gun and glue sticks to affix two small buttons for the Snowman’s eyes and the carrot nose to create its face.

Tie the felt scarf around the Snowman’s neck, then use scissors to fringe the ends. Finally, glue the remaining three buttons to the front of the Snowman.

For the earmuffs, cut a chenille stem to a length of 6 inches. Shape it into a “U” and glue it to both sides of the Snowman’s head.

Use a glue gun and glue sticks to attach pom poms over the cut end of each stem.

Make the cheek by dipping the eraser end of a new pencil into pink acrylic craft paint and gently stamp it onto the face.

To complete the look, draw on a smile using a permanent black marker.
