Materials

  • A tree limb of your choosing I used a birch branch

Instructions

  • Using a table saw, carefully slice the tree branch into three sections of varying widths, this will be the body of the snowman.
  • Use a sander to flatten the bottom section of the snowman so it sits flatly.
  • Drill matching holes for the head and midsection to connect, repeat the process for the midsection and base sections. Secure the sections together with the pin.

  • Drill two holes in the midsection for the branch arms, secure them in place.
  • Finally, you are ready to add a face and button to your snowman. Lay the assembled snowman down on it’s back, using a pencil mark the eyes, nose and buttons.
  • Match as closely as possible the twigs to a drill bit the bit should be smaller than the twigs. Now you are ready to drill the holes for the face and buttons. I drilled entirely through for each hole, twig length is not so difficult when the hole is open on the back side.
  • Shave the twigs for a snug fit into each hole, I used a black paint pen for the eyes and buttons, for the nose I used yellow then lightly used red. Then ninched the nose between my fingers and rotated the nose several times back and forth to smudge the colors to get closer to orange. If you have an orange pen please use it.
  • Finally, add a scarf with ribbon or pipecleaners!
