Gold ribbon angel

I always keep beautiful ribbons and papers from the gifts I get and reuse it. This gold ribbon was on my birthday gift and I instantly knew I´m going to make angel out of it.

Cute snowman tutorial

I made this kawai snowman out of an old sock (the other one was lost). Except one white sock, I used purple sock, two polystren balls, two sequins for eyes, tiny bit of felt for mouth and cheeks and wool leftover for pompom. It´s so simple to make!

Put balls into the sock. secure with rubber band and mark position of the eyes.

Glue on eyes, mouth and cheeks and sew the opening overhead.
Cut off excess fabric.

Sew ribbon inside.
Make scarf from other sock. Cut rectangle for cap. Sew two ends together and leave top open.
Put it on the snowman's head, pull the ribbon outside and sew the opening

Decorate with pompom.
