I save things which I think I can make into something else. So I had everything on hand except for the head and top of the snowman hat.
Wash and dry the bottle.
Drinking Pomegranate juice is so healthy for you. When you spend so much for the juice and look at the unusual bottle shape, I start to envision the bottle in its next life.
A work in progress, reusing the fabric sheets
I up-cycled laundry fabric softener sheets. I cut the sheets into strips. They still smelled good, I was saving them to make homemade drawer sachets. Then I mixed water and four to soak the strips in. Next I put them around the bottle. I used the glue bottle to keep the bottle up for drying, which took 1.5 days, turning the bottle as the top dried.
Here is my version of Frosty
Once the body was dry, I painted him white. Hot glued the three buttons on the chest. I had the eyes, his nose is an orange golf tee, reshaped with my Dremel, the mouth was a piece of a plastic pumpkin handle. All hot glues on. I used a Styrofoam ball for the head. The hat is a plastic soup lid, painted black. I hot glued half a black painted egg shaped Styrofoam to the lid, then applied hat ribbon, and his neck scarf ribbon. His head was hollowed out to place over the bottle neck.
