8. Form the long rectangle into a cylinder, making sure its rim is the same size as the little circle. Hot glue the ends closed.

 
9. Glue the small circle onto the cylinder.

 
10. Now glue this onto the big circle.

 
11. Glue a piece of ribbon around the base of the hat above the brim.

12. Glue the hat, arms, and nose onto the white blob.

 
13. Add little blobs of black paint for the coal eyes and mouth. Let dry.

 
14. Hot glue a loop of fine ribbon or string to the back of the ornament and hang. These also look super cute on their own, laying around on tables for wintertime gatherings.
