Random Act of Giving - Day Five

This week has flown by for us.  Today was the kids last day of school in which we all missed because Mark, Garrett, and I caught a stomach bug.  We decided to keep Lexi home too so that our germs wouldn't spread to the school and church especially right before Christmas. 

Yesterday I made a snowman bouquet to take to a random hair salon in town.   I had planned on creating at least one thing for my random act of giving project but the week had gone by so fast I hadn't done it yet.  The snow man itself is a template that you can print at the end.  This is a very easy project that anyone can do.  Here is what I did...

All you need is:

• Snow man template
• ribbon
• candy bars - any type
• glue - I use my tape runner for everything.
• felt
• scrapbook paper

Start by wrapping each candy bar with the snow man paper.  Each sheet prints 2 snow men.  You will need to cut them to fit your candy bar most will be 5.5x_______.  For these candy bars I cut them 5.5x5.5. 

Next pick out your ribbon and tie a scarf around each snow man.  As you can tell I was in a pink mood and wanted all girl snow men, but you can use whatever color is best for you.

The snow men will need hats so cut out a circle and cut it in half to make the top.  For the hat base I cut out stripes of  paper that would be a little bigger than the circle.  For the snow ball on top I used felt.  I cut it out and glittered the top - some in white and some in pink.

I did find some cotton balls and put some on the base to look like they were standing in snow.

I then put skewers in under the paper and stuck each one in a tiny bit of flower arranging foam, filled it with with tissue paper, and added a bow.   This project was so fun and easy. 

I put a Random Act of Giving card in between the snowmen and ran it to a salon downtown.  I think the ladies were very shocked and surprised.
