Materials Needed to Make a Snowman with Plates

White plates in 2 sizes. We happen to have white glass plates, but you could always use paper plates or disposable plastic plates too! Use whatever works best for you:)
Buttons. I got these red and green ones at Hobby Lobby.
Gold utensils: fork, spoon, and knife.
Orange construction paper
Black cocktails size napkins
Scissors
Red ribbon
Chocolate coal (found in the seasonal candy isle)
Optional: novelty corn cob pipe. I found them at Hobby Lobby but Amazon sells them here too.

Watch how we put together this Christmas place setting:

How to make a Snowman with Plates

Start by setting the plates out with the smaller one on top.
Next, cut a triangle carrot for this nose out of orange construction paper
Cut a long piece of red ribbon and tie it in a bow. Cut one strand of the ribbon shorter than the other so it resembles a scarf. Place the red ribbon “scarf” in between the two plates.
Put the black napkin on top of his head and then place the golden knife on to to hold the napkin top hat in place.
Give him arms by using the fork and spoon.
Add buttons, chocolate coal eyes, and a corn cob pipe.
