SNOW PATROL

MAKE THE SNOWMAN ARMATURE
Tear off several 12x18-inch pieces of aluminum foil for snowman armature. Tear off more pieces as needed.
Roll and compress the foil to make three balls: a 32-inch-diameter ball for the base, a 24-inch-diameter ball for the torso, and a 12-inch-diameter ball for the head. Continue adding firmly packed foil layers until the three balls stacked together are about 74 inches tall; press one side of the base so the ball sits flat.
Add crafts glue to top of torso and one end of a toothpick. Push glued end of toothpick into torso. Add crafts glue to remaining end of toothpick and push head onto toothpick. Repeat with base and torso.
