Start by cutting you paper towel rolls (or toilet paper rolls) with a serrated knife (so you don't smush them)! I cut mine about an inch and a half thick, but you could make them as think or thin as you want!
I did let each of the girls paint one snowman with acrylic paint. Of course the girls did not want white snowmen, so they used sparkly pink and purple.
Hot glue 3 of the roll sections together to form a snowman shape.
Cut a piece of ribbon about 8 inches long to be a scarf. Picking the ribbon was the girls favorite part! Glue the edge of the ribbon between two of the balls then wrap it around the neck of the snowman and glue again. If you want it to lay flat fold it over and glue in the fold. Otherwise it will look like the scarf is blowing which my girls seem to like! They did the same thing with their Nutter Butter Snowmen!
Quick, easy little snowmen to hang anywhere you want!












How fun! Pink and purple snowmen have more personality. ;)
