January Crafts

Recycled CD Snowman


Project Supplies:
  • discarded CD
  • juice can lid - head
  • chenille stems – one brown, one red
  • two plastic eyes
  • small piece of orange craft foam or felt
  • three buttons
  • white spray paint
  • black permanent marker
  • small piece of fabric or yarn to use as a scarf
  • two small pom poms
  • glue gun
Project Instructions:

  •         Spray paint the CD and a juice can lid on both sides in white paint. Let dry.
  •         Glue the eyes, and a small triangular piece of craft foam for the nose, to the juice can lid. Make a series of dots with black permanent pen to represent the snowman’s mouth.
  •       Cut a length of red chenille stem to fit around the top of the juice can lid, extending down a little less than halfway. This is top of the ear muffs. Glue a small pom pom on each end of the chenille stem to finish the ear muffs.
  •      Glue the completed snowman head on top of the CD.
  •       Tie yarn, cord or a small strip of fabric around the neck as a scarf.
  •       Cut a brown chenille stem in quarters. Take two pieces and twist one around the other to form a stick arm, as shown on the photo. Repeat to make the other arm. Glue the arms in place on each shoulder area.
  •       Glue three buttons down the front to finish. If desired, add a loop of cord to hang.

Polar Bear Pancake


  •      1 large pancake 
  •      2 small pancakes for the nose and ears
