With Christmas just around the corner, DIY and craft sites have been flooded with nothing but all the lovely Christmas-related DIYs, gift ideas, decorations and recipes. And though we don’t celebrate Christmas here, it doesn’t mean I’m skipping the fun to make something too! So, here you go, the felt mini snowmen to welcome a happy white Christmas. Hari Natal akan segera tiba dalam hitungan hari dan situs-situs craft dan DIY telah dipenuhi dekorasi-dekorasi cantik bertema Natal. Walau kami tidak merayakan Natal, saya tidak mau ketinggalan membuat sesuatu bertema Natal juga (paling tidak, 3 boneka salju ini juga ingin turut merayakan Natal bersama).
What you need:
- Felt;
- Cotton (filling);
- Needle and thread;
- Scissors;
- Marker.
Yang anda butuhkan:
- Flanel;
- Kapas (isi);
- Jarum dan benang;
- Gunting;
- Spidol.
Step 1: Draw 2 circles on a piece of white felt with diameter of 7 cm and 4 cm. Cut them out. Langkah 1: Gambarlah 2 lingkaran pada flanel warna putih dengan diameter 7 cm dan 4 cm. Gunting.
Step 2: Make a running stitch at the edge of the circle, place the filling in the center and pull the tread to make a pot-like ball. Langkah 2: Jahit mendatar pada sisi luar dari lingkaran, taruh kapas isian di tengah, dan tarik benang sampai flanel membentuk bola kecil seperti pot.
Step 3: Repeat step 2 for the other felt and you’ll get 2 cotton-filled balls (big and small). Langkah 3: Ulangi langkah 2 untuk flanel yang satunya lagi dan anda akan mendapat 2 bola berisi kapas (besar dan kecil).
Step 4: Join the two balls together by threads or glue and give it a pair of eyes with a marker. Langkah 4: Sambung kedua bola dengan benang atau lem dan beri sepasang mata dengan spidol.
Step 5: Cut a 1 cm x 20 cm long felt of your favorite color and wrap it around the little snowman’s neck. Langkah 5: Potong kain flanel berukuran 1 cm x 20 cm dengan warna favorit anda dan lingkarkan di leher boneka salju sebagai syal.
You can also make a few of them and have them as your Christmas gift toppers. Boneka-boneka salju ini juga dapat digunakan sebagai hiasan kado Natal.
Oh, and I tried using the free software, PicMonkey to make the collage above. It’s easy to use but the colors are a bit off (I wonder if it’s my computer or it’s the software, really). Oh, dan saya mencoba software gratis, PicMonkey untuk membuat susunan foto di atas. Cara pemakaiannya cukup mudah tetapi warna foto jadi sedikit berbeda (Saya kurang tahu apakah ini masalah komputer saya atau software itu sendiri).
I wish we have some snow here to make a real snowman (which is impossible unless the 21-12-12 prophecy makes changes to it) ;) Thank you for stopping by and though it’s a bit early, I wish you all a Merry Christmas! :D Terima kasih telah membaca dan walau sedikit kecepatan, saya mengucapkan Selamat Natal untuk semuanya! Happy Christmas! :D


We still have snow here in Chariton, Iowa, USA, yes at the end of March. I made real miniature snowmen but these I would not have to keep in the freezer!! Thank you for sharing your lovely creations. I pin many of your crafts.
It’s still snowing there at where you live?
(Envy!) How I hope we have some snow here (though ironically, the temperature is getting higher day by day as we are welcoming the dry season pretty soon, or maybe it’s here already)
Thank You for always coming back to drop me some sweet comments (really appreciate them!) and sharing all these posts, Karen! (Frankly, I stalk my Pinterest’s analytics in daily basis and I know I just must thank you.) Do come again! :D
This are wonderful, I’m sorry I found them too late for Christmas but I’ve subscribed to your blog because you obviously have wonderful ideas.
