Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here today with a fun winter project to share. With winter upon us that means snow will be here shortly. Since it can be a little too cold outside to make snowmen, why not create your own snowmen from the comfort of your home.
Supplies:
Tattered Angels Baseboard - Lava
Ribbon
Leaves
Wiggly Eyes
Adhesive
Instructions:
Start by creating the snowman using tinfoil which has been tightly rolled into 3 balls. Continue adding tinfoil until you have 3 different sized shapes. Place toothpicks between the balls and glue in place to hold the shape. Put aside to dry.

Using the Ultimate Clay Machine®, roll each piece of clay starting at the thickest setting (#1).Continue putting the sheets of clay through the clay machine, moving up the settings one at a time, until the panels are the thickness desired.
Wrap the clay around the snowman, folding and pinching where necessary to achieve a desirable snowman. Since snowmen are not always smooth, don't worry about the lumps and bumps that show as a result of the underlying tinfoil.
Allow the snowman to dry 24 hours, then paint with white paint.
I had no black clay handy so I rolled out 3 little balls of terra cotta clay for his buttons and his hat. Then I spritzed them with Tattered Angels Lava mist to change the color of the clay. 
I placed the hat on his head and added leaves to the side. Finally I tied ribbon around his neck.
Standing about 7" tall, he is a reminder of the winter weather that is to come.
Thanks for stopping by.
