The Best Way to Have a Snowball Fight

If you're not loving the cold...

Here's a snowball fight you can have while snuggling up inside.

Here's what's you'll need:

Smoothfoam Snowman Body

6 x 1 Smoothfoam Disc

1 Smoothfoam Balls (I used 12)

2 Smoothfoam Ball

DecoArt DAS9-22 Snow-Tex, 16 -Ounce

DecoArt Craft Twinkles Paint, 2-Ounce, Crystal

Tonic Studios Tim Holtz 372 Retractable Craft Pick

Ranger Tim Holtz Distress Ink Pad, Vintage Photo

Tsukineko 3-Pack Stipple Brush, Size 0, 4 and 8

Paintbrush

Palette Knife and Craft Knife

Craft Glue

Beacon Fabri-Tac Permanent Adhesive, 2-Ounce

Toothpicks, Bamboo Skewer and Sticks

Fabric Scraps, Micro Brads, Paint Markers

Scissors

Directions:

1.Cut the 2 Smoothfoam ball in half. Cut the top off the rounded side of one of the balls.

2.Poke two holes into the bottom of the Snowman body using the craft pick. Break a toothpick in half, dip ends into craft glue and insert in holes. Attach the sliced ball onto the Snowman body.

3.Apply Snow-tex with palette knife over the newly formed Snowman and the 6 disc. Allow both to dry fully.

4.To Create a Snowball Wall... Poke holes into the 1 balls with the craft pick. Insert toothpick halves with craft glue on the ends into balls. Build wall by sticking the balls together.

5.Apply Snow-tex onto wall using the palette knife. (Allow to dry.)

6.Create scene by attaching snowman and wall onto the disc. Reinforce the pieces with toothpicks and craft glue.

7.For a shimmery snowy glow...paint all the pieces with Crystal Craft Twinkles paint. (Allow to fully dry.)

8.Add shadows to the snowman and snowballs by gently applying vintage photo ink using a stipple brush.

9.To Create the Snowman Hat... Measure and cut fabric to fit around snowman head. Fold over and glue one of the long edges of the fabric to create a brim. Glue fabric ends together to create a tube. Tie top of the tube with a piece of string, cut excess fabric off top of the tube and fray the ends by making small cuts with the scissors. Glue to the top of the Snowman head.

10.Add arms to the Snowman using small twigs. Warm him up with a fabric scarf and mittens cut from the fabric scraps.

11.For the Snowman's Face... Use two small black micro brads inserted into the snowman face for the eyes. Paint the tip of a bamboo skewer with orange paint, cut and insert into the face for the nose. Add a smile to the snowman's face using a extra fine black paint marker.

12.Make a small snowball using a small pieced of paper wadded up and covered with Snow-tex. Glue finished and dried snowball onto mitten.
