This snowman ornie is for yet another swap I participated in last Christmas. I am totally into ornie swaps! I believe I ended up making 16 of these for the swap. I have amassed quite a collection of handmade country primitive ornies for my Christmas tree, which makes for quite a unique tree display! I just love it.
To make this ornie I started with a Styrofoam ball that I covered with SnowTex. It gives it that great look of snow and adds great texture. Then I added a carrot nose I purchased from an online craft supply store, and painted on the rest of the face with craft acrylics. The hat was made with a baby sock; I just cut off the foot part of the sock, tied the end off, and cut slits at the top of it. Then I just sprayed on a touch of adhesive and dusted the hat with mica flakes. Oh, and I added a rusty hook and bell too. The picture is a little blurry, but I think you get the idea.
