2x4 Snowmen/My first post!

So, this is my first post on my new blog.  I'm trying this out because I follow so many blogs and get so many great ideas that I wanted to show some of my work and ideas to others.  I am planning on opening a shop on Etsy soon but just haven't gotten up the nerve to really do it yet.  We are moving to San Diego on the 22nd of this month so I wanted to wait until we get settled in there before I start too much!  Not too much though to keep me from crafting!  I think Daddy Monkey is getting a little fed up with my addiction...hahaha (evil smile)

This project is something I did recently and it was so much fun and SOOO easy!!  I just took some scrap 2X4 from the garage and dug out the circular saw (ok so this is the only semi difficult part, I promise!) I just cut it into 3 smaller pieces.  I didn't measure because I didn't really care just eyeball it!

I painted them with Kilz.  Check, okay now go here to print the snowman face.  I previewed the image and scaled it down to fit.  I believe it was 70%.  I printed the face 3 times and cut it out and used my very handy Mod Podge (believe it or not I recently became a lover of this stuff!).

This is a picture of what my faces looked like printed on the page

Then I went into my scrap fabric and pulled out the purple fleece.  Erin does this look familiar?  :)  I just used it to make my friend's daughter a halloween costume.  I used my hot glue gun to seam it together and then tied it on top!  Wahlah! The other two...you are going to laugh.  I found an old sweater and cut off the sleeves to make another 2 beanie caps and a scarf.  I wanted to keep this project as low cost as I could.  And it was around 11:00 PM so I didn't really have a choice to go anywhere! ha.  I just tied a piece of the fabric around the top of the tube (piece of sleeve) to make it look like a pom pom.  I hot glue gunned those babies in place and...done! :)

Easy enough right!?

Total cost for this project: Free- $5.00

Yay!  So, there you have it!  My first post!  What do you think?  Please share pictures and link my site to your blog if you try this one! :) Many more to come!  I have been saving them up!  Follow my blog to keep up to date on my latest project :)
