Snowman Greetings

SNOWMAN LIGHTS

I love all the lights and decorations at Christmas time and I generally drag my feet when it's time to pack them up at the end of the holiday season. This year I just wasn't ready for the season of lights to be over so I decided to transform my lights into January Snowman Greeters.

 Kids will have so much fun creating their own snowmen to decorate the house with and watch them shine on these cold dark nights of January. Kids can do almost all of this project. They will need adult supervision and adults will need to use the craft knife to cuts the slit in each cup, otherwise this is a really kid-friendly project.
I got a pack of 100, white 3 oz. plastic bathroom cups from Wal-mart, a string of 50 white lights, a hole punch, some black and orange construction paper, scissors, white glue, and scraps of fabric.
I punched a big pile of circles from the black paper. Then I glued them on to the cups to make the eyes and mouth. Then I cut small triangles of various sizes out of the orange paper and glued those on for the nose. I cut some small strips of fabric about 12 inches long to make the scarfs for a few of the snowmen and glued those on too. When they were dry I used a small craft knife to cut a small slit in the top of the cup in a + shape and inserted the cups over the lights.
Done! The whole project cost less than $5.00.

 Now they can be hung around the front door or over the mantle to greet your winter guests.
