Melted Snowmen Magnets Supplies:

• Crayola White Model Magic Clay {affiliate link or you can use any air-dry white clay}
• Orange/Black Puffy Paint {affiliate link}
• Large Cookie Sheet
• Magnets
• Hot Glue Gun

Directions:

• First things first – take about an inch of white clay in between your hands and roll it into a ball. Then “splat” it with your fingers to create the snowman puddle. It doesn’t need to be perfect either. Thickness depends on you. Repeat for each snowman magnet you want to make.
• Now lay your flattened pieces on a clean cookie sheet..
• One by one, take your orange & black puffy paint and paint on “snowman” embellishments like a hat, nose, dots for the mouth etc. on the clay pieces. You can also draw on other embellishments you see fit.
• Once done, set aside your cookie sheet covered in melted snowmen, in an undisturbed area to allow the clay to air dry for a few days. If need be – flip the snowman pieces over once a day, so it dries evenly on each side.
• When they are completely dry – it’s time for the magnets! Simply hot glue ONE MAGNET to the back of each snowman piece.
• Then display proudly for ALL to see!!!
