Sizes of Pieces:
Hats: 9”Lx5”W
Trim for hats: 9”Lx1”W

Skinny piece of fleece
All in fleece material.
“B” is marked on bottom blockNoses are all the same size-in felt
Girls have eyelashes on their eyes (so make sure you pay attention when gluing)Jewels are for the buttons
Vinyl goes on the bottom block and for the smiles of the snowmen
1.
Paint all snowmen with white acrylic craft paint
with 2 coats.
You do not need to paint the top or the bottom of the 2x4. You will need to paint the bottom block (that the snowmen sit on) all the way around.
Paint all snowmen with white acrylic craft paint

You do not need to paint the top or the bottom of the 2x4. You will need to paint the bottom block (that the snowmen sit on) all the way around.
2.
Make sure that the 9” (long side of material, not the short side 5”) is what wraps around the 2x4. Lay the hat on a table and place your 2x4 face down on top of hat, then glue hats on with glue gun.
By doing it this way, it will help you get a straight line in the front of your snowman.
Glue the fleece all the way around the 2x4.
Make sure there is enough room for face between the hat and the scarf for the short snowmen so that the face doesn’t look squished

Make sure there is enough room for face between the hat and the scarf for the short snowmen so that the face doesn’t look squished
3.
Glue trim onto the bottom part of the hat just enough to cover the bottom part of the hat. Make sure all seams are in the back of the snowmen.
4.
Cut the hat into ½” (or skinnier) strips all the way around the hat. Stop about 1 inch before the top of 2x4.
5.
Use the skinny piece of fleece to tie the hat so that it scrunches together to make all the cut strips look spikey!! It doesn’t matter which color you use for the skinny piece of fleece.
6.
Glue the eyes and nose onto your snowman, very little glue is needed. Then apply the smiley face. Peel the vinyl away from the backing and press the smiley face onto your snowman.
7.
Tie scarf around your snowman before gluing it in place. I glue my scarf behind the knot so that it doesn’t move around when I pack it or move them around.
8.
Glue your buttons in place. You don’t need a whole lot of glue for each button. The way I arrange the buttons is the tallest snowman always gets 4 buttons, the next gets 3, the next gets 2 and the shortest gets 1. (for a set of 4 snowmen)
For more than 4 snowmen I give 4 buttons to the tallest, the next gets 3, the next two or three or four snowmen get 2 buttons each and the smallest always gets 1.
For more than 4 snowmen I give 4 buttons to the tallest, the next gets 3, the next two or three or four snowmen get 2 buttons each and the smallest always gets 1.
9.
Place “Love Never Melts” vinyl onto bottom board the same way you applied the smiley faces.
Now you have your snowman complete!!
You can call or email me anytime, if you need help.

INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: THE PLEXI GLASS HAS A PROTECTIVE FILM ON BOTH SIDES.
MAKE SURE TO REMOVE BOTH FILMS SO YOU HAVE A VERY CLEAR SHEET OF PLEXI GLASS!
1. APPLY VINYL LETTERING TO YOUR PLEXI GLASS
The Vinyl will be cut in REVERSE so you will need to apply it to the back side of your plexi glass!!
This makes for cleaning and wiping off your dry erase markings easier.
2. TRIM PAPER to fit your 9"x11" plexi glass exactly.
you dont want to try and trim AFTER modge podging!
3. APPLY MODGE PODGE to the back side as well, going OVER the vinyl and entire
piece of plexi glass completely with modge podge.
Make sure you put the side of paper you want to see
face down!!!
Basically,
when you flip your plexi glass over, you will be able to see the correct side of the paper, as well as
read the vinyl correctly! Just like pictured above!
Dont worry about seeing the glue at first. Once dried, the modge podge is clear!
I use a matte finish modge podge so it wont look glossy thru the plexi glass.
4. RUN RIBBON BY CONNECTING YOUR 3 PIECES
