My daughters school project last year lead to this charming little snow couple. She was supposed to create something using recycled materials so this is what we came up with. Maybe we need to make another couple so they can have some friends.
The project was really easy and of course inexpensive considering they are made using recycled materials.

| This is how they started out. |
Frosty was the first one we made but since he was so handsome we thought he needed a girlfriend.
Scrap fabric for his hat and scarf, the berry and greenery were from some old Christmas decorations, the eyes are cuttings from where we trimmed some candles wicks, toothpicks were used for the nose and arms (no they were not recycled they were new), the wax was candle making wax to which we added some old and broken white crayons and a little glitter to make him sparkle.
Same thing for Crystal (remember the movie where he got married). Her hat is actually from some old dress up/play clothes of my daughters, pearls from an old play pearl necklace and her scarf was some left over/scrap ribbon. The eyes, nose and arms are the same as Frosty's.
Now we have a couple of new items to use for our Christmas decorating and by the way she got an A+ on her assignment and we had fun working together to make them. Here's a little shot of the happy couple together.
In the words of Parson Brown "I now pronounce you snowman and wife".
Hope you enjoy and hopefully we can make some real Frosty and Crystals soon.
