Instructions:

4. Paint the plywood board slats first brown and then dry brush black down them to give them a wooden effect.
5. Staple the 5 slats together at the top and bottom.
6. Assemble the snowman’s cuffs onto the arm and on the neck. Glue the hat piece onto the hat. Glue the hat onto the snowman.
7. Glue the nose on the face and dot 2 eyes. Blush the cheeks with red.
8. Glue the 2 long pieces across the top and bottom of the stapled slats.
9. Drill 2x 2 small holes along the front of the snowman’s sweater and also 2 holes in each of the round disks. Come from behind the snowman and insert the wire through the top 2 holes and then through one of the buttons. Twist wire and coil the ends. Do the same now with the bottom button.
10. Drill 2 small holes in the hat and insert wire through the backside and up at the front. Attach the bell, twist wire ends and coil them.
