Make sure the backside of the paper for the flipped image is something that coordinates with the snowman because it may show. Glue the same images together and ink edges. Then Mod Podge front and back and let dry.
3. Cut a length of wire about 19 – 21 inches long. Fold in thirds and twist tightly, leaving about ¾ inch exposed of loose ends. Spread the “fingers” apart and trim to desired length. Trim off the other end where there is a loop to the desired length for the arms. Shape as desired. Repeat for other arm.

Happy Thanksgiving from OMC!

We here at Oh My Crafts want to wish you all a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Most of All

 

Thanksgiving Day brings to mind
the blessings in our lives
that usually go unnoticed:
a home that surrounds us
with comfort and protection;
delicious food, for pleasure
in both eating and sharing;
clothes to snuggle up in,
books and good entertainment
to expand our minds;
and freedom to worship our God.
Most of all we are thankful
for our family and friends,
those treasured people
who make our lives extra special.
You are part of that cherished group.
On Thanksgiving, (and every day)
we appreciate you.

 

Happy Thanksgiving!
