To make this simple snowman, glue 3 poms together and add a few snowman details with chenille stems and wiggle eyes.
This little guy is glued to a mini clothespin and can be hung on a Christmas tree, tied onto a present, clipped onto a coat or scarf -- or anything else you can dream up!
Angelic Ornament

What You'll Need:
1 bump chenille stem
scissors
glue
1 pom, 3/4 inch
2 metallic stems, 6mm each
2 wiggle eyes, 3mm each
1 pom, 3mm
Cut a 2-bump piece from the bump chenille stem. Fold this piece in half, and twist the ends together. Fold over 1/2 inch of the folded end to eliminate the pointy look.
Glue the 3/4-inch pom to the other end. This is the angel's head.
Bend a metallic stem into the shape of 2 wings. Glue the wings to the back of the chenille bump, just below the pom.

Cut a 2-inch piece from the remaining metallic stem. Bend it into a circle with about 3/4-inch overlap. Bend the overlapping piece down, and glue it to the back of the pom, creating a halo.
