Snowman Doorstop Gift

by Leslie S.

This Snowman Door Stop is an Easy Christmas Gift Idea for Kids To Do. There are so many creative ways to change the look but the basic directions are below.

Kids of all ages will have fun making this! Such a cute and practical gift or to make for yourself to keep out “Old Ma Winter”!

Supplies needed for each Snowman Doorstop:

One white tube sock, the longer the better.

One or two pounds of white rice.

One child's colored sock.

Three heavy-duty rubber bands.

Felt or other fabric scraps to make scarf and mittens.

White Glue; but hot glue will work better.

Two wiggly eyes.

One orange pompom.

Six to eight brown or black buttons.

One brown pipe cleaner, cut in half.

Directions:

Fill the tube sock about 3/4 full with rice.

Use rubber bands to divide the sock into 3 sections in proportions equal to head, torso, and legs.

Use one rubber band to close the end of the sock (this is the head). Use the child's sock as a hat. Glue on the wiggly eyes, pom pom nose, buttons (mouth shape).

Cut out a scarf and a pair of mittens from the felt of fabric. Glue the seams of the mittens leaving an opening for the snowman's hands. Poke the pipe cleaners pieces in for stick arms. Dab some glue around the opening on the sock. Allow to dry. Put the mittens on and secure with glue. Allow to dry.

Your little snowman can sit by the door until a cold winter night when he can lay down in front of the door to keep the chill out.
