Cut your wood to length and sand smooth, then wipe off any dust before going further.

Place the hat brim pice on top of the face board on the angle you would like to use for the hat brim. 2 1/2 inches on the left top edge and 3 1/2 inches on the right is a good guideline. Draw a line along the bottom edge to be your painting line.

Paint the hat section, brim and base black and set aside until dry.

Paint the face background white remembering to get the side edges and let dry.

Draw or trace on a happy snowman face.

Paint the eyes black and the nose orange. The nose may need 2 to 3 coats of paint depending on what shade you are using.

Once the face has dried trace around the edges of the eyes and nose with a black paint marker. Then draw on a mouth. The curved edge of a tin can works great for this!

Line up the hat brim so that it overlaps the painting guideline you made earlier, making sure to center it. Then turn the snowman over and use the 1-inch wood screws to attach the brim.

Turn the base over and center the bottom of the face on it marking the edges. Start 3 screws in this area then turn the snowman on its side and finish attaching the base plate.

If desired hot glue a pretty flower just above the hat brim.
