This is a fun project to involve kids in. Younger kids can help draw on the snowman's face or stuff it, and the sewing part is easy enough that a child old enough to be trusted with a needle can do it themselves.
Sew Easy Sweater Sleeve Snowman
- White sweater sleeves
- Needle and thread
- Something to use for stuffing
- Permanent or fabric marker to draw on face and buttons (or you could use tiny real buttons and sew them on)
- Fabric scraps to cut for scarves
- Cut out the sleeve or sew a long tube of white knit fabric.
- Gather the bottom of the tube, and stitch closed tightly.
- Stuff the bottom ball of the snowman.
- Gather the section of the tube directly above the stuffing, and stitch closed tightly.
- Repeat until you have the desired number of balls and are at the top of the tube.
- Gather the top of the tube, and stitch closed tightly.
- Draw on the snowman's face or sew on buttons.
- Cut a strip of fabric for a scarf, cut the ends to resemble tassels and tie onto the snowman.
