Snowman Salt and Pepper Shakers

"A Christmas candle is a lovely thing; It makes no noise at all, but softly gives itself away; While quite unselfish, it grows small."  -Eva K. Logue

Looking for a fun craft project to make with kids? Try these easy salt and pepper shakers.  The salt and pepper shakers came from the dollar tree.


Materials:

  • Salt and Pepper Shakers
  • White Paint
  • Orange Polymer Clay
  • Black Puff Paint
  • Two Different Colors of Yarn
  • Buttons
  • Crochet Hook
  • Paint Brush
  • Hot Glue Gun
Directions:
  1. Paint the shakers white. Let dry. 
  2. While waiting crochet a tiny scarf for each of the shakers.
  3. Dot the eyes and the mouth with the black puff paint. Let dry.
  4. Make tiny carrot noses and bake according to the clay directions.
  5. Glue nose onto the snowman.
  6. Glue the scarf onto the snowman. Glue the button onto the cross section of the scarf.  
The one with the black button makes the most sense for the pepper shaker.  Do whatever makes the most sense to you.
