Although all the snow in our area has melted and it felt like spring today, we made two "snowy" projects......a little stuffed snowman and a snowy scene.
I'm hoping to teach the girls some embroidery this semester and the snowy scene project was a step in that direction. They used chalk pencils to draw snowflakes on a blue background fabric. This piece was then placed into an embroidery hoop (they were very amazed that they got to KEEP the hoops!). Next, they stitched their snowflakes with white craft thread. The last step was to sew a "snowdrift" at the bottom (white felt) using a running stitch. Then the extra fabric was trimmed and hot glued to the back of the hoop. I think these turned out so cute!!
They also made snowmen out of felt, using felt pieces and/or buttons for the features and embellishments. Most of the girls didn't finish this at class, but they are going to be SO cute when they are done!!!
