Feature: Tips & Tricks Do it Yourself Make a Charming Snowman Christmas Tree Ornament! Locate a standard light bulb in your house or local hardware store. With a brush, paint your light bulb white. Cover it completely with a thick layer of paint so that no glass is showing, but ignore the metal base for now. Dab your light bulb with a sponge while the paint is still wet to give it snow texture. Glue a cottonball at the end of your metal base. Add glue on the sides and wrap a red yarn in a spiral, covering all metal. Leave a loop of string at the end. With a fine brush paint on your snowman's eyes, nose, and mouth. You should paint him so that the red yarn acts as his hat, with the bulb turned upside down. Paint on buttons, arms, legs and a scarf around his neck to finish. @ma_lina Your snowman is now ready to hang with all of the other ornanments on your tree! PicsArt Monthly | 59
