How to Paint Your Snowman Face on Your Terra Cotta Pot Craft
-
Using a pouncer and some pink paint apply some rosy cheeks to your snowman using quick bouncing motions.
-
Putting some of your black paint in the cap of your paint bottle use the back of your paint brush to dot on some eyes.
-
Repeat this for creating the mouth of your snowman.

To make the carrot nose, wipe the black paint off of the end of your paint brush. Then, dip the back of your paint brush into some orange paint and apply the same technique being sure to overlap one circle with the next to create that carrot nose.

This is adorable. I think it would make a great project to do with my grand daughter. It's very easy and I have everything I need so why not try it! I think not only a snow man but with some changes, a Santa may just appear too. Thank you for sharing this.
