Welcome to PAGE TWO of the How To Make A Snow Folk Family Tutorial.
These are really easy to make and can be dressed in any color mittens you have available. This happy little family is waiting to be created to share the holiday with you.
Below you will find the material list and basic instructions as well as a link to the original tutorial for more tips on accessorizing each member of the Snow Fold Family.
What you will need:
children’s mittens
rice cotton batting
11/4″ diameter wooden balls
buttons
mismatched infant or children’s socks
small pom poms
scrap material for scarves
silk florals (holiday springs, berries, flowers, etc.)
sleigh or basket
tiny black plastic eyes or black acrylic paint
rosy lipstick
black marker
Instructions:
Basic Snow Person:
Fill the hand portion of a child’s mitten with one or two handfuls of rice, fill the rest of the way with cotton batting, be sure to fill thumb as well. Cut a scrap piece of material for scarf and gently tie around the mitten where the ribbing of the cuff meets the plain material of the mitten (end of the cuff). (When tying scarf, point the scarf material away from the thumb to make it appear as if the scarf is covering the person’s other arm.) Fold down cuff to cover scarf and form a turtle neck. Hot glue on wooden ball to top of turned down cuff. Glue on tiny plastic eyes or paint on with black acrylic paint. Use black marker for mouth. Gently dot on lipstick for cheeks by applying first to your finger and then dotting onto face. Glue 2 or 3 buttons to tummy area. Glue a stem of holiday florals or greenery tucked into the arm (thumb), and glue arm to the mitten body. You can personalize each snow person with different hats, scarves, florals, and more. Our examples show how you can create an entire family of folks by simply using different colored mittens, scarves, and different styles of hats and earmuffs.
