You will need:
- Polystyrene balls

- Twigs
- Drill bit
- PVA glue
- Sandpaper
- Skewer
- Sewing pins
- Scissors and scalpel
- Cellotape

- Making Waves by Deluxe Materials
1 Attach two polystyrene balls together by drilling into both and securing a straw with some PVA glue. So your snowman stands up, sand the bottom with some sandpaper to create a flat spot.
2 Coat your snowman with PVA glue and sprinkle on some artificial snow. Skewer the bottom to make it easier to handle.
3 Using black polymer clay, mould some eyes, buttons and a nose, and place on some sewing pins.
4 Bake your elements as per manufacturers instructions. Once baked and cooled, apply to your snowman.
5 Using some black card, cut out a disc and black strip and assemble a hat. Again apply to a sewing pin. Using the sewing pin, carefully apply the hat to your snowman.
6. Using some twigs, select two fork shaped, and whittle the ends down to points using a scalpel. Insert into your snowman.
7. For the icicles, apply Making Waves to your snowman’s arms using a spatula. This can take a few layers to build up to the desired thickness.
