Sock Snowman

Materials:
* large men's tube sock
* single roll of toilet paper (intact)
* medium Styrofoam ball
* large pipe cleaner (orange)
* large google eyes
* large pom-pom (any color)
* ( several small pom-poms (black)
* rubber band
* craft glue
* three buttons

Place the toilet paper roll inside the sock and push it all the way to the bottom. Next, place the Styrofoam ball on top of the toilet paper roll inside the sock. Twist the rubber band on top to close the sock and create a winter hat. To decorate, glue the eyes in place, then cut off a small piece of orange pipe cleaner, bend it in half, and push it through the sock into the Styrofoam for a "carrot" nose. Glue small black pom-poms into a "coal" smile shape, and then glue the large pom-pom to the tip of the sock (for the end of the hat). Finally, glue buttons onto the toilet paper portion of the sock.
