Brick Snowman Bookend

Talk about easy crafts and crafts that kids can do! I've got a simple snowman {geez I like snowmen} diy that was inspired by my daughter. She brought home a similar brick snowman as a Christmas gift that she made at school and I thought it was just the cutest thing. With items I found from around the house, I was able to create a heavy bookend that keeps with my wintery, holiday decor. Plus, it does make a sweet gift or can be placed in the garden as a nice addition to any holiday decor. 

What you need:

• a figure eight shaped brick {I found mine at a local nursery} 
• White paint
• Hot glue gun
• Buttons 
• Googly eyes
• An orange marker/ Sharpie
• Ribbon or fabric {for the scarf}
• A holiday themed or red sock
• A rubber band  

What you'll do:

• Clean and paint your brick, let it dry
• Hot glue eyes and buttons on, then tie a ribbon or piece of thin fabric around the 'snowman's' neck
• Draw a nose on
• Get your sock and tie off the end, creating a ball at the end, making the hat for the snowman
• Put on his hat
• Place on a shelf, in the garden or gift wrap for a neighbor, friend or teacher! 

So whether you want to make your snowman holiday themed or just wintery {you could use any color sock and buttons} he is sure to make a wonderful addition to your home. Happy Holidays!
