When it comes to crafting, I am a fan of Trash To Treasure type of projects and this crochet project is no exception.
I came up with the idea a few months ago to use Plarn instead of white yarn...
but if you don't know how to make Plarn, you can still crochet up this snowman refrigerator magnet by using 4-Ply white yarn.
You can use felt, ribbons, black beads, wiggle eyes, colored craft foam or whatever you have on hand to trim them.
You can glue a magnet disk onto the back to make them into holiday refrigerator magnets or omit the magnet and add a hanging string to turn them into Christmas Tree Ornaments.
Each one will take only a few minutes to crochet and then about an hour to glue on all of the trims.
Quick and Easy type of craft! Here is what you will need: 1 plastic shopping bag, turned into plarn 1 round magnet disk scraps of black, red and orange felt (for hat, hat ribbon, eyes and carrot nose) all-purpose craft glue size F or G crochet hook scissors Note: If using yarn as your base, you can use a glue gun to add the trims.
If using Plarn, hot glue can melt plastic bags! To Make The Snowman Head: With your plarn or yarn, chain 5, slant stitch into first chain to form a ring.
Chain 1, then make 10 single crochets in the ring, slant stitch to first SC that you made, chain 1, then make 2 single crochets in each single crochet, slant stitch in first single crochet, fasten off and weave in your ends.
(note: I made mine with plarn which is much bulkier than regular yarn).
To Make The Trims: From black felt, cut a top hat shape and glue it onto the top of your snowman's head.
I trimmed mine with a scrap of red felt on one and on the other with a scrap of ribbon.
Cut a small triangle from orange felt for his nose and 2 small circles from black felt for his eyes.
Glue these onto his head.
You can decide if you want to add a mouth or not...
either way he looks cute! Finish up by gluing a magnet disc on the back and let them dry for 2 hours.
