Turn it upside down and glue a white Styrofoam ball to the top to make the snowman’s head. Glue a doll’s winter hat to the top of the head. Using a black thin marker, draw eyes, nose and a mouth to make the face. Cut up a piece of fabric and wrap it around the bottom of the Styrofoam ball as a scarf. Glue two buttons to the center of the pot going vertically to add some cute detail. This will surely be a Christmas craft that your kids will always remember making and want to display every year.
