Snowmen Family Toilet Paper Roll Craft

Here is a fun craft tutorial that you can do with the kids this winter: Snowmen Family Toilet Paper Roll Craft. This is an easy one to do since you can probably find most of the craft supplies for this already at your house. I love coming up with ways to upcycle objects that normally end up in the trash can - and this is a fun way to incorporate the use toilet paper rolls into a kids activity.

Time: 30 Minutes Cost: $5 Difficulty: Easy

What’s Needed to Make Snowmen Family Toilet Paper Roll Craft:

* Empty Toilet Paper Tubes/Paper Towel Tubes

* Orange Tic Tacs

* Colored Glitter Glue Pens

* Assorted Colors of Felt

* Buttons

* Pipe Cleaners

* Wiggly Eyes

* White Acrylic Paint

* Assorted Colors of Poms

* Hot Glue Gun and Scissors

• 

1. Cut your tubes to desired sizes and paint them white with acrylic paint.  I like using the black foam brushes for this one - it covers a lot of surface at once.  Let it fully dry before you start to decorate your snowman.

• 

2. Next, cut your pipe cleaners to approximately 3 inches. Cut the felt into 9 inch strips and cut little fringe into each end of the strips.

• 

3. Using your hot glue gun, glue on the eyes, tic tac nose, scarf, and buttons or poms.

• 

You will of course end up eating a few of the "noses."  :)

• 

4. Next, draw on a mouth with the glitter glue pens.  You can also add other facial features like eye lashes or even glasses!

• 

5. Bend the pipe cleaners and glue the ends to each side of the snowman's head.  Then, glue a little pom onto each end of the pipe cleaner to make it look like a little pair of earmuffs.

Your snowman is complete!  Now keep making a few more so that you create an entire Snowmen Family.  Your kids could even use these as puppets and tell a story using them!
