This little guy is easy-peezy to make. I've found that the most difficult part is finding the white, off-white, beige, or light gray sweaters to felt.
To begin, trace and cut two circles the same size of your main fabric. Choose any size you want your ornament to be - just remember you'll have a small seam allowance included. I use my handy left-over lid from something bought long ago.
Using an orange-ish colored piece of recycled felt, cut a lumpy carrott nose for Mr. Man. A jiggly-hand is needed for this part of the project! (You don't need to make a nose template - but I did since I was making so many.)
Hand sew on two black buttons for eyes, the carrott nose, and black yarn french knots for his smile.
Sew the two head pieces together - right sides together - leaving a small hole somewhere around the circle for turning and stuffing.
Turn head right-side out and stuff with polyfil. Stitch together stuffing hole with coordinating thread. Attach a piece of yarn/twine/ribbon/or whatever you wish to the top of ornament for hanging.
Make as many Mr. Warm SnowMen as you wish! Enjoy for yourself or as a fun gift.
Nice tutorial! I bet they will make a wonderful Christmas gifts.
ReplyDeleteThank you. They'd be fun as little add-ons to a wrapped Christmas present, wouldn't they? :-)
