I made one of these little guys for the 2019 Falliday Fest Challenge (FF19MariLynn) to make a holiday themed gift card holder. I had so much fun making him, I decided he needed a few flaky friends!
I remembered first seeing this tutorial during Falliday Fest 2017 (yes, I remember that, but ask me what I did yesterday...lol!), and thinking how cute it was, but ran out of time to make it then. So, better late than never!
I pretty much followed the tutorial step-by-step, except for the arms. I didn't want to go outside & cut twigs, so I fussy-cut them from the brown CS. Also, I used ribbon for their scarves instead of washi tape...there is washi tape around their hats.
I punched out a small round flower from the red CS to decorate each hat, & added an enamel dot. I punched out one of the other flowers on the punch (the one with 6 'points') from the orange CS, then cut it into 6 pieces, going between the points, to make 6 teeny tiny more-or-less triangle-shaped pieces that I thought looked like teeny tiny carrots for a snowman's nose!
These were so much fun to make! Not sure what I'll be using them for, and I might make a few more...

Adorable! And the other day I was telling someone I posted my pumpkin penuche cookies recipe in the falliday fest thread in 2017, and I found it, and wondered why I can't remember what I had for breakfast, but remembered this from 2 years ago!

Oh, what fun Liz! I love these happy little global warming protesters. How neat to use the punch board to make these snowmen. I can tell you have fun making these by the creative way you decorated each one of them. ~Karen.
