Ok well I was wondering if anyone knew any fun AND easy snowman crafts to do homemade because I bought some fake snow and i wanted to put snow around the snowman and it would probably look pretty if i did that so can anyone please help me???? Ok thanks and I would really appreciate it if you did!! Thanks and Bye!! 
Oh and please add the steps of what and how to do it!! So that way it would be a lot easier for me!! =)
You could always try using old lightbulbs. The big round end becomes the bottom ball of the snow man. You can use permanent markers or paint to make the face and buttons. I added a hat and a scarf (hot glue). To keep the snowman standing up, just hot glue something to the bottom. I put mine on skis but it depends what you’re going for. It’s not difficult and you can make things other than snowmen such as penguins or santa : ) Hope this helps!
You’re probably too old for the paper-plate snowmen small children often make in January at school. A fun way to make snowmen if you’re a bit older than that is to mix plain white soap powder or soap flakes (not all laundry detergent is plain soap, and that’s what you need — you may need to go get some)into a clay. Just add a little water — not too much, start with very little and add a little at a time — and mix. When it’s a clay-like consistency, make your snowman. Let it air-dry for a day or two. You can probably put the fake snow on while it’s wet. I had a plain one that we kept with our Christmas decorations for over 20 years. It’s really durabble stuff once it’s dry, this soap powder clay.
