Making Snowman jars with Cotton Balls
Find a nice sized jar that you are allowed to use. Next crumble up balls of paper. Next tape it to the jar until it takes on the shape of a snowman. The head goes on top of the lid...so crumple up paper there to. When you are happy with the shape that the paper has taken on, you can then glue on cotton balls to the paper to form a beautiful snowman. Make a hat with a cylinder toilet paper roll and 2 circles. Glue them together. This is the had and goes on top of the head. Use pipe cleaners for stick / twig hands. Twist them into a 'Y' shape. Then attach them to the snowman. Use ribbon for a scarf. Be creative and make the snowman just the way that you like it. The head is a twistable head so you can take it off to put stuff in the jar.
Make Cotton Pipe Cleaner Sheep
Get a dental roll of cotton, clump of cotton, or cotton sheet (2"x1") that you roll into a cylinder to use for the body of the sheep. Cut a black pipe cleaner in half and twist it around the front...leaving a bit of room for the sheep's head. And also twist the other half of the pipe cleaner to the back of the cotton roll. These are the front and back legs of the lamb. Take your fingers and 2 spots on the top-front of the cotton roll for ears. Also take some extra cotton and glueit to the the back of the sheep for a tail. Glue Googly eyes to the front of the face and now you have a sheep.
