Directions:
- First things first – cut off a small section of your large paper plate to make the bottom of the snowman house flat.
- Discard the small piece you just cut off.
- Set aside the paper plate.
- Next up -grab all your paper pieces and craft scissors.
- Start off by cutting out a LARGE snowman hat for the roof of the house, out of the black cardstock.
- Out of the remaining black cardstock, cut out a door.
- Follow that up by cutting out three circular windows out of the gray.
- Use the black Sharpie marker to draw lines and give the windows some dimension.
- Out of the scrapbook paper, cut out a long “scarf” that will go in the center of the snowman hat roof.
- Finally, out of the orange cardstock, cut out a very small circle for the doorknob, that will represent his carrot nose.
- Once you have all your paper pieces, it’s time to assemble it all together! Grab the paper plate, paper pieces and your glue & stapler.
- Go ahead and glue/staple the paper embellishments in place on the paper plate. I found that it was easier to staple the hat in place and use glue for all the other pieces.
- Now add anything else you like for that custom look {like some holiday stickers or glitter!} before displaying proudly!
- Don’t forget to share pictures with us of your custom paper plate snowman home on your various social media sites! #gluedtomycrafts
