Tutorial: Snowmen ~ Schneemänner
I just came across these pictures from last year, and I thought I should make a little tutorial for you. These snowmen are a cute accent for your flowers, or you might attach them to a wreath.
For each snowman you need: a wooden skewer, 2 paper balls (one must be a little smaller than the other), wood glue, hot glue, black fun liner / window color, felt scraps, orange pen.

Step 1At first, paint the tip of the skewer orange. Let it dry, then cut it off (about half an inch). With a drop of wood glue, stick it into the smaller ball’s hole. This will be the head with the carrot nose.
-
Step 2Attach the larger ball with a drop of wood glue to the rest of the skewer. With hot glue, attach the head (nose pointing forward) to the body. Cut a strip from felt and wrap it around the neck.

Step 3With the black fun liner, paint the eyes, the mouth and the buttons – that’s it! If you like it, please leave a comment.

thanks for your comment! Those thingies are made of cellulose, but in German they're called "Wattekugeln" which would translate to cotton balls. Here's a link to a shop where I found the term "paper balls":

I guess you'd really be able to form them out of paper mache.
