Do you wish to construct a snowman? Come on, let’s go and play with felt poms! Particularly, let’s make some little Snowgies from Disney’s Frozen!
I promise that this weblog will not be turning into all issues Disney, however as a fan, when I’ve an thought for one thing cute to make out of beautiful craft provides, I’ve to do it. In the present day’s undertaking got here to me once I was using Frozen Ever After at EPCOT. Throughout one scene you see the little Snowgies (and if you have not seen them, Google them after which watch all of the shorts that they seem in…Olaf Presents is very hilarious).
The second I noticed them (which wasn’t the primary time), I out of the blue envisioned them constructed from Benzie Felt poms. Quick ahead to January, and I acquired all my provides and began making them. There was some trial and error, however once I confirmed this model to my sister, who is a big fan of Frozen, she gave me the “awwwwwwww” and I knew we have been on monitor.
They are surely lovely simply as they’re. They is likely to be enjoyable for youths to play with this fashion. And I additionally assume there are methods to make them so you possibly can have them sitting to go on a shelf or one thing. However I have been on a magnet kick currently, so I made mine into magnets that I can stick up close to my desk or on my photograph clamps only for enjoyable.
Now, let me ask once more, slightly in another way this time…Do you wish to construct some Snowgies?
This is what you want!
Benzie Felt Balls (affiliate hyperlink) in 3 Sizes: Medium, Small, and Further-Small
Wool Felt Scraps in Black, Mild Blue, and White
Magnets (I used tremendous robust ones)
Gap Punch
Scissors
Tweezers
Sizzling Glue
Cheesy Glue
E6000 Glue
Now, I do know that three sorts of glue is kinda overboard. You do not have to do that, but it surely’s what I used and here is why: The new glue is so quick and simple for attaching the poms to one another. The Cheesy Glue is slightly simpler for including the face. And when utilizing tremendous robust magnets, Benzie recommends E6000 as a result of you actually need these to carry to the poms.
In case you craft rather a lot, these are all glues that it is best to have in your provide storage!
Use one medium felt ball for the pinnacle, one small felt ball for the physique, and two extra-small felt balls for the ft. Connect them with scorching glue and press them tightly collectively so the glue does not present.
You’ll be able to prepare the ft in numerous methods and if you happen to take a look at photographs of Snowgies, you would possibly get some extra cute concepts!
Use the outlet punch to chop out two excellent black circles. In case your gap punch struggles to do that, strive ironing freezer paper to the felt first. You too can hand lower them if you happen to’d fairly.
Lower out the mouth with scissors. The blue half is a 1/2-inch broad half circle. The tooth is a teeny white rectangle.
Use Cheesy Glue to connect the blue a part of the mouth first. I discovered it useful to connect the again of the felt piece.
Add the eyes above the mouth. I discovered it simpler so as to add dots of glue to the pinnacle after which add the eyes.
Add the teeniest little bit of glue to the highest of the mouth, then connect the felt tooth. Tweezers are tremendous useful for this!
It is a comfortable Snowgie!
Lastly, connect a magnet to the again of the pinnacle utilizing E6000 glue. Let this treatment earlier than sticking the magnet onto the rest or it could pull off the felt ball.
If one Snowgie is nice, extra Snowgies are higher! They are often associates this fashion, I believe that makes them even cuter. You would possibly even strive arranging the ft in another way or giving them distinctive facial expressions!
Now my solely problem is that I’ll have the music “Do You Wish to Construct a Snowman?” in my head for days. And I am sorry/not sorry if I did that to you as effectively. We’d as effectively give in and begin watching all of the Frozen issues whereas we craft!
Psst…if you happen to like Frozen 2, do not miss the embroidery sample I shared not too long ago! I am nonetheless loving my Do the Subsequent Proper Factor hoodie!
