A Pair of Super Stylish Seasonal Snowman and Snow-woman Christmas decorations

After making a flurry of felt footed penguins I decided to also make some of my festive snowmen too!

My little seasonal ‘snowman/woman characters have been handmade from the pattern I created, though they are very simple they are quite effective as little Christmas decorations dressed in their little cotton print hats, scarf and shawl, each having a little tiny bell. I think the little pair look a bit like Carol singers all muffled up for the cold weather.

As they are all handmade and are all cut and sewn individually, and slightly differently, I feel this is what gives them their character. All the pieces are applied by hand too, including fraying the small pieces of material to make a fringe effect for their scarves.
For their bodies I have used white ploy-cotton fabric, For their noses I used bright orange felt then some tiny beads for their eyes. A synthetic wadding had been used to stuff them and a small piece of stiff card has been sewn into their base to make them stable and stand freely. The little lady has a hand twisted cord around her middle which has a little’hand muffler’ and for extra decorationI made her a pompom wreath with tiny felt holly leaves and tiny red beads for berries. Whilst the little man has a flat cap to match his scarf, a couple of little buttons, a little broom made from a pipe cleaner with little white fluffy pompom snowballs attached to him as a finishing touch

These decorations can be brought out year after year to celebrate the festive season. They are quite a stylish pair in their matching outfits too!

As ever I never seem to stop at one of anything….. so here are the green versions too!!

“Who’s not singing in tune then?”

These funny little, handmade, quirky, ‘snow men and women are really cute and all the more so when arranged as a group. They almost make you imagine they are a small choir of carol singers!

I made them from pure white Aida with little scraps of tartan fabrics simply folded to make hats and scarves then hand sewn to the body shapes.  Tiny buttons and beads were used for decoration as well as bright orange felt for their noses. Finishing touches using pipe cleaners to make broom shapes and wreath shapes and finally small white pompoms for snowballs

“Anybody know when the next bus is due?”

These handmade penguins are made from black cotton for their bodies with a small oval piece of pure white Aida stitched  to the front. Bright orange felt had been used to create noses and flipper feet. Small scrap pieces of tartan act as little scarves with finishing touches of tiny buttons and beads for their eyes, lastly small white pompoms for snowballs. Cheerful, decorative soft animals for seasonal display!
