Snowman in a Jar

I did a little canning this winter. Yep, its a canned Snowman for those days in July when you are in the mood for a little Frosty. He even has little sticks on the sides for his little arms. I used an extra large pickle jar like you would get from a school or a business. I used extra polly fill batting from a different project and wrapped a scarf I made from left over polar fleece. I stuffed it in the jar. I then made coal pieces and a carrot nose with FIMO dough. After the eyes, buttons, mouth pieces and nose were baked and cooled, I used a pencil to help slide them into the jar in proper position. When its done, you put the lid on and make a jar cover with fabric and ribbon or you can make a label for the top. Then you will have your snowman forever. Posted by Picasa

Cool, cool, cool! I want one. I love snowmen. I'm not going to buy any craft supplies until after we move, but then I WILL HAVE ONE!
