Directions:
* First get the glue gun hot and ready!
* Assemble the base of your snowman friend by gluing THREE jumbo popsicle sticks and TWO mini popsicle sticks together to look like a fence {3 next to each other and the mini popsicle sticks across}
* Set aside to let it dry completely. Repeat for each snowman ballerina friend you want to make.
* When dry enough, go ahead and squirt some white craft paint on your paper plate.
* Paint your newly made popsicle stick shape completely white with the paint brush.
* When done, set it aside to allow the paint to dry.
* Now grab your cupcake liner, gold glitter scrapbook paper and scissors.
* Take the cupcake liner and fold it in half for the ballerina tutu. Put a little bit of glue in the inside, so it doesn’t come apart.
* Out of the gold paper, cut out a simple crown for her head.
* When ready, hot glue the cupcake liner dress and paper tiara, to the painted popsicle stick shape from earlier.
* Finally – take your silver pipe cleaner and fold it to make arms for your snowman. Go ahead and glue that to the back of the decorated popsicle stick shape.
