I used a small block for the head and larger for the body. I made a simple stocking cap and a scarf out of plaid fleece. The eyes, nose, mouth and buttons were all different sized buttons. I stuck them together with Velcro and put white lights with white cords inside after drilling a hole. Sue

Very cute! kathy

Thanks for all your nice comments. My DH cuts all my projects and yes Luvs he makes my signs. It's not always easy to get him to make things like this but he does enjoy his saws. He is going to start cutting signs out of metal with his new plasma cutter so I'm excited about that. Through the years I have copied and drew out signs for him to cut so I hope he still has them. I want him to do some with wood frames and insert the metal. I wanted to add 5-7 white christmas balls to my snowman crossing but they are all out in the shop so I used 1 white and 2 silver for now. I will probably replace them once I bring in all my Christmas things. I wanted to use batting or something instead of greenery but didn't want to go get that either so thought maybe this would inspire me enough to make another later. Also thought about having DH cut some balls together and sit snowmen on them under the sign. So many ideas and so little crafting time. Sigh! I live 60 miles from any craft stores so can't just run and get what I want at the time. I seriously would like your comments on what you two would have put on there to make this. If I would of had blue ribbon I would of used that. My DD called today and was picking up some with little snowmen on it so that would be cool. huh? She wants to do her tree in blue this year so she wants me to make her two big bows with long ribbon going down. Maybe there will be enough for me!

They came out cute!! Grandson looks so proud with his tree!! Hope you get meds straightened out soon!! I saw a beaded candycane in Dec. Better HOmes & Gardens Really easy, just cut a piece of 24 gauge wire 10 in. long & put 1 color e beads on (I folded it in half, when that half is full I made little loop so they wouldn't fall off& then put second color on the other wire (half) when it is full you would need to take it from grandson & twist the 2 ends of wire together & make a nice looking end. That is the end of the curved part. Now take & gently twist to get candycane effect. I'll try & get some pics tomorrow if it isn't so cloudy. I made some real small ones on 28 gauge wire (6in. piece) And they make great pin for your blouse or coat with addition of little gold bow.,put a pinback on it & a wire through it so it wouldn't fall off. Going with GF to get more beads at Michael's & Joanne's in morning!! These are easy & fun. Oh, they didn't have much for directions in the magazine. The little ones are good on a 2 ft high tree (I make most of ornaments for it) the 10 in. wire or even 12 in wire would be more for larger trees. Guess beads could just keep getting bigger(and more expensive)We love the look of the silvered beads in red,green, silver, blue!! It's late bed time! Jan
