Materials:

• 2 strings of 100 LED lights
• small plastic laundry basket
• 2 cans of spray polyurethane foam (bright white color)
• white paint
• 2 – half foam balls
• hat for the snowman
• foam board adhesive

Directions:

Step 1

Start the project by placing the two strings of LED lights around a small laundry basket (placed upside down), making sure you arrange some of it on the ground in front of the basket. Now, start by making the melting effect on the ground, then start to build the foam up the basket until you reach the top. Once the foam has cured, paint it white to ensure it will not yellowed once outside under the sun.

Now, secure the foam ball on top with a generous amount of foam board adhesive, then attach the hat, nose, eyes, and mouth of your snowman. You can also add twigs for the arms and just add more Christmas lights all over the snowman, and you’re done.
