Its Christmas!!

"Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring
Snowing and blowing up bushels of fun
Now the jingle hop has begun"

"Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer
had a very shiny nose
and if you ever saw it
you would even say it glows
"


Its Christmas time again! Aren't you all excited? Shopping, Decorating the Christmas Tree, Christmas Dinner, FOOOD! and obviously GOING GREEN!

Here, this post is specially for a project for everyone. In fact everyone in this planet Earth. Malaysia is a country without four-season. We are forever SUMMER! But even we can build our snowman in this hot and humid country. All you need is just a pillow. YES! I wasn't kidding. Its a pillow. The one we sleep on. So here we go.

All you need is just
  • One white bed pillow
  • Stocking cap, beanies or even a funky cap. (As you wish, as long as its going to be the snowman's headgear)
  • Scarf or even towels.
  • Buttons or sequins (For the eyes and so forth)
  • Orange fabric or anything which you can sew on or stick on as the nose.
  • A pair of gloves.
  • A small cute broom. (This is optional)
Steps
1. Stitch or glue the headgear to the top of a white bed pillow. Adjust it by pulling the corners of the pillow under the headgear.
2. Tie a scarf around the pillow about 1/3 way down. Sew or glue on button or sequins as the eyes and mouth.
3. Cut a circle of orange fabric, slit half way and shape into a cone for a carrot nose (or just cut it into a triangle shape); glue or sew edge of nose to face.
4. Sew buttons down the front. Sew or glue gloves to the front for the arms.
5. If you're feeling funky, pair it with a small broom. This is optional.


SO NOW WE CAN HAVE OUR IMAGINARY SNOWMAN IN MALAYSIA! :)

Do try it out and take a picture. Post it on Facebook or anywhere. Put in the link on the chatbox by the side and share it with all our blog readers! :D Enjoy. Happy Holiday.
