* Felt in colors of your choice

* White pom poms in various sizes (our local craft store only had 1" pom poms, and we would recommend not going any smaller than this!)

* Paper Straws

* White foam sheet (optional - this is to convert the snowman into an ornament)

* Gold twine (optional - this is to convert the snowman into an ornament)

Using your hot glue gun, glue 3 pom poms together, one on top of the other.

Cut narrow strips of felt (ours measured about 1/4" wide), and cut longer than you think you need - you can always trim down.

Tie the scarves around the snowman and straw to secure.  If you don't intend to convert these to Christmas ornaments, you can secure on straws with glue, or you can use a little piece of tape to prevent the snowman from sliding down.

Add to your cup of your favorite warm winter beverage!  **To convert to a little ornament, cut a little circle of white foam, and a length of gold twine to make a loop.  Using the glue gun, secure the gold twine, and then the white foam circle to the back of the snowman's head.**
