Tealight Snowman
Supplies:

  • Flameless Tealight
  • Black marker
  • Black and green paper
  • Red sequin bead
  • Ribbon for scarf
  • Thin ribbon for hanger
  • Glue (a glue gun works great if you have adult supervision)
  • Scissors
To Make:

  1. Using the black marker, color two dots for coal eyes and 4 dots for a coal mouth on the tealight.
  2. Cut a top hat from the black paper to fit the size of the tealight. Cut two holly leaves from the green paper. Glue the holly leaves to the side of the hat and glue the sequin bead in the middle of the holly leaves to look like a holly berry. Glue hat onto tealight above the eyes.
  3. Cut a strip of ribbon for the scarf. Attach the scarf to the back of the tealight with a dot of glue and wrap ends around to front and secure with glue.
  4. Use a small piece of thin ribbon to make a loop for a hanger. Glue the loop to the back of the tealight.
  5. Turn the tealight on and find the perfect place to hang your snowman!
