🖌️ How To Make the Top Hat
- Step 1: To make TopHat, make a cylinder as tall as you want hat to be. Cut a circle just a little larger than the base of the cylinder for the bottom with brim or, you can order these.
- Step 2: Cut a circle for the top and glue pieces together.

💡 Pro Tip: For extra sparkle, use glitter on the earmuffs and scarf to add a bit of holiday shine. This brings a festive and eye-catching touch to your craft.
🧑🎨 Expert Tips
- Use Ping Pong Balls: Start with two white ping pong balls for the snowman’s head and body. These are lightweight, easy to paint, and perfect for crafting your snowman.
- Paint the Snowman: Use acrylic paint to add the snowman’s facial features and buttons. A black marker works well for fine details like the eyes, mouth, and buttons.
- Create a Scarf: Cut a strip of felt or fabric for the scarf. Wrap it around the neck area and glue it in place to give your snowman a cozy touch.
- Add Earmuffs: Attach a pom-pom to each side of the snowman’s head for earmuffs. Connect them with a small piece of pipe cleaner or wire to form the band.
- Attach a Craft Stick: Paint a craft stick white and glue it to the bottom of the snowman’s head. This helps it stand and serves as the base for the decoration.
- Decorate the Top Hat: Use black construction paper or felt to create a top hat. Glue it securely to the top of the snowman’s head for a fun, festive look.
