Guest Pat Desantis assembles cute little snowmen by stinging together stiffened felt with colorful buttons or chips. The end result is a garland that can be used as a festive holiday decoration for a tree, door, or just about anywhere you want to advertise some holiday spirit.

green cord, 1-1/3 yd., Wright's
red cord, 1-1/3 yd., Wright's

Steps
- Trace hat pattern onto black felt. Cut five pieces (figure A).

- Cut 25 black dots from felt using paper punch. Glue in place for buttons and eyes (figure B).
- Starting at top of head, glue white braid around entire outer edge of snowman.
- Cut four 12-inch pieces of each cord. Set aside remainder of striped cord.
Hint: Tape the ends of the cord and cut through the tape to prevent fraying. - Coil and glue each 12-inch length of cord to create "candies." Finish by gluing tape end under coil.
