Instructions:
STEP ONE
Gather all supplies. Remove cardboard backing, paper liner and glass from picture frames. Set these items aside.
STEP TWO
In a well-ventilated area (or outside) spray paint plastic picture frames white. Apply several light coats to achieve a solid coating.
STEP THREE
Using the paper picture frame liner as a base, apply layers of doilies onto plain white side with adhesive runner.
Flip over and trim all edges with scissors.
Repeat with all three picture frame inserts.
STEP FOUR
Insert doily covered papers and cardboard backing into all three picture frames.
STEP FIVE
Stack picture frames and secure matching edges with a strong adhesive like E6000. Set aside to dry overnight.
STEP SIX
Cut a carrot nose from orange felt. Orange cardstock would work as well.
Attach carrot nose, two large black button eyes and three buttons to snowman with the glue gun and glue sticks.
STEP SEVEN
Measure and cut 24” lengths of at least three types of ribbon. Tie around snowman’s neck and secure with the glue gun.

Very creative idea – your snowman is ADORABLE! Love that everything to make him can be found at the dollar store. This would be a fun holiday craft to make with the grandkids. What makes him extra special is the paper doily texture of the snow.
