These bottle snowmen were quite easy to make. I got the idea while I was washing the bottles (which formerly contained coffee drinks - I try to reuse such things whenever I can) and thought the metal lids looked very much akin to snowmen hats. After washing the bottles and removing the labels, I used a black Sharpie to "paint" the lids black. The kiddies and I filled the bottles with Poly-Fil for snow and used dots of Tacky glue and beads to make the faces. Bits and scraps of yarn, fabric, ribbon, and cord were used for the ties, scarves, and hats. Each snowman represents a family member. From left to right: my husband, myself, my daughter, and my son. Here they sit on our bookcases in the room where we homeschool - otherwise known as a dining room. I considered cropping out the myriad of books overflowing from our bookcases but decided the humble truth of this untidy area would benefit all. ;)
