Creating The Paper Pulp - Rip your empty paper drink carrier or empty egg box into modest pieces. Place the items into an aged plastic bowl. Pour in just a minor bit of faucet h2o and let the items soak for sixty minutes. The moment they are good and wet, Pour paper mixture into a strainer. Using your fingers, squeeze out extra water. Place paper pulp into your blender container and mix on reduced velocity so that it will get mushy. Pour the pulp back again into your empty plastic bowl. Stir in some white craft glue so that you are forming sticky paper pulp. Mine is the consistency of lumpy dough.

Making The Snowball - Using a foam-design paint brush, lightly spread white craft glue on 1/two of your Styrofoam ball. Using your fingers...pat on the paper pulp dough so that you are covering the leading half of your ornament ball. Repeat this procedure on the bottom 50 percent of your ball. The moment completed, hang the ball up through the clothespin so that it can dry and harden. (mine get roughly sixteen to 24 hours).

Adding The Facial Features - As soon as your ball is dry, paint with two coats of white acrylic paint. The moment that is dry, paint on black eyes, black dots for his mouth and eventually, an orange triangular shaped nose.

Optional Scarf - We minimize a piece of fleece measuring one one/two" vast by around 10" prolonged and tied that into a loop and then glued it to the bottom of our ball to resemble a fleece scarf.
