| Now is a time I wish I had a camera. Anyway...If you'd like a center piece for a table here is what I made from a large can. SNOWMAN Candy dish...Cut the top and bottom from the can.Paint the inside of the can a color of your choice. Squeeze the bottom of the can together.Cover this with felt.Glue in place all around the can. I used my glue gun. Added a trim on top and bottom of can. Used a styro foam ball cut in half for the snowmans feet. Pushed the squeezed part into the styrofoam feet. Now using another styrofoam ball for the head. I glued on poppy eyes, orange bead for the nose and drew on a mouth. Using felt I made a hat and placed that on the head, glueing in place. Added some small decorations. Put little black button down the front of the snowman. Be sure to put the head on the back of the tin can. I added a few snowballs on the head and down by the feet. You may also add arms, made from twings. I did one up and put small ornaments on the bowl part and used for table decoration. I also did this with small soup cans. Idea came from Crafting Tradition magazine. Need more info, please PM me. |
