Snow man cookie jar

ok this is soo cute... I'll have to make one one day!
 

Snowman Candy Bowl

Do you need a last minute thank you gift for someone?
One that is super easy and super cheap to make?

Enter the Snowman Candy Bowl...
He is easy to make in under an hour.

What you will need:
hat-i found mine at Hobby Lobby
styrofoam egg
white, black, orange, & pink paint
round glass bowl
(don't get the fluted edge, it needs to be round)
scrap of fabric
buttons
snowflake
hot glue gun
candy cane kisses

Paint the egg white and let it dry.
If you are not patient, or just in a hurry
get out a blow dryer and dry on low heat.
Paint another coat of white and dry again.

Dip the end of the paint brush in the black paint
and dot on the eyes and mouth.

Paint on orange nose.
Or you could cut out a small piece of felt and hot glue it on.
Dip your paint brush in the pink paint...
brush most of it off on some scrap paper, then
and add some rosy cheeks to your snowman.

Hot glue the hat to the top of the egg.
Add the snowflake embellishment.
Glue the buttons to the jar.
Tie fabric around the jar's neck.
Fill with candy.
Top with snowman head.

Easy peasy lemon squeezy!!!!
