This is one of my fav's
Frost-free the Snowman
Total time needed 1 hr
It's no snow job -- this Frosty requires neither a white Christmas nor freezing temperatures to spread his cheer. All he needs is a stack of leftover boxes, a few pompoms, tape, felt, and some white quilt batting. Bonus: he comes apart, making him easy to store during the off-season.
Materials
* 5 boxes in varying sizes (see the sizes we used, marked in the illustration)
* 8 yards of 48-inch-wide, 4-ounce batting
* Clear packing tape
* Double-sided foam tape
* 5 medium pom-poms (for the mouth)
* 8 large pom-poms (for eyes and buttons)
* Scissors
* 7-inch square of orange felt
* Hat and scarf
