1. Apply lace to
   four sheets of mat board using Tombow
   MONO Multi Liquid Glue, let dry.
   
2. Mold white air
   dry clay into a ¾” carrot shape, let dry at least 24 hours.
   
3. Die
   cut two sets of smallest size block from black mat board with die cutting
   machine.  Pre-fold all scores.  Color edges and folds with Tombow Dual Brush Pen Black N15.  Attach block pieces (according to package
   directions) with Tombow Xtreme Permanent
   Adhesive.
   
   
4. Die cut two sets
   of the medium, large and extra large size blocks from the lace covered mat
   board with die cutting machine.  TIP:
   Make sure to place the lace side face down on the die, so the shapes are cut
   properly.  Pre-fold
   all scores.  Gently remove the first layer of the mat board and lace from
   all six tabs, so the blocks will assemble easily.
   
5. Attach
   medium, large and extra large block pieces (according to package directions)
   with Tombow Xtreme Permanent Adhesive.  TIP:
   Spot glue any loose edges of lace with Tombow MONO Multi Liquid Glue.
   
6. Remove the Heart
   and Flower die shapes from Scoreboards XL Blocks/Cubes 3D Die.  Color front and sides of Heart with Tombow Dual Brush Pen Rubine Red 755,
   cover with Tombow
   MONO Multi Liquid Glue, then sprinkle
   on garnet glitter.  Color front
   and sides of Flower with Tombow Dual
   Brush Pen Reflex Blue 493, cover with Tombow MONO Multi Liquid Glue, then sprinkle on lapis glitter.
   
   
7. Once carrot nose
   is dry, color with Tombow Dual Brush Pen
   Orange 933.  Apply “rosy cheeks” with
   cotton swab and pink chalk.   Attach
   carrot nose, button eyes, button mouth and buttons to front of Snowman with Tombow MONO Multi Liquid Glue.
   
8. Measure and cut
   checkered ribbon to fit around smallest block.
   Attach with Tombow MONO Permanent
   Adhesive Runner.  Attach 2” by 2”
   craft foam to base of smallest block with Tombow MONO Multi Liquid Glue to create the
   Snowman’s top hat.  Apply snowflake rhinestone
   to glittered flower, then attach to band of top hat with Tombow Xtreme Tabs.  Apply
   glittered heart to left chest of Snowman with Tombow Xtreme Tabs.
   
   

1. Gather six
   different ribbons, knot in center and attach knot to back of Snowman’s head
   with Tombow Xtreme Tabs.  Tie ribbons in a loose knot at the front
   right of the Snowman’s head, securing with Tombow
   Xtreme Tabs, then let the ribbons cascade.
   Trim any long ends of ribbons.
   
   I
   love the texture that the lace gives to the Snowman, it’s so unique!  I enjoy pushing the envelope to test the
   limits of what the Tombow USA products can do, and I am always pleasantly surprised
   that they perform so well!  It is because
   all of the Tombow USA products are such high quality and so versatile, and I
   can no longer create without them!
   Thank
   you for stopping by!  -Beth
