Yield: 1 ornament
Supplies:
- parchment paper
- pencil
- hot glue gun with glue
- acrylic paint (white, brown, orange, black)
- paintbrushes

Steps:
- To make the melted snowman body, draw a squiggly blob on the parchment paper with your pencil.

- To make the top hat, cut out one circle of black felt, then one a bit smaller. Cut out a long thin rectangle.

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

- 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.
