Assembling the Toy

• Sew on the head, arms, and legs, or attach them with thread joints—whichever method you prefer.
• Shape a carrot nose from polymer clay. Once it has been baked and cooled, glue it in place.
• Glue on the eyes.
• Embroider any mouth you like—a smile or a surprised expression.
• Attach a few strands of yarn to the top of the head to make bangs.

Feel free to decorate your little snowman however your imagination inspires you :)
