Snowmen Icicles

"A lot of people like snow. I find it to be an unnecessary freezing of water." -Carl Reiner

With more snow occurring over night tonight, I thought it would be a good time to show off an easy gift to make for coworkers.  These icicle snowmen are easy to make and use the icicle from The Lovely Bones post.  The pictures are not the best quality, but show the basics.




















Materials:

  • Hot Glue
  • Clear Glitter
  • White, orange, black, blue, and pink polymer clay
  • String or twine
  • Wax paper
  • Pencil
  • E6000
Directions:
  1. Follow the directions from The Lovely Bones post on how to make an icicle.  
  2. Make a snowman body out of white polymer clay.  Add arms (and legs if wanted).
  3. Add hat, scarf, or ear muffs using pink or blue clay. 
  4. Shape orange clay into a small carrot and add for a nose.
  5. Create two small balls of black clay for eyes.
  6. Bake at 225 for 10 minutes. Let cool.
  7. Glue onto icicle using E6000. Let dry.
This makes a great gift for teachers, coworkers, or to top off presents with.
