How to Make A Snowman In Any Climate

1. Precut orange and black construction paper for your snowman carrot nose and black coal eyes. Collect small twigs from your yard for little arms that will stick into the soap flake mixture.
2. Make the soap flake mixture using Ivory Soap Flakes. You can not use just any laundry detergent; it must be the old-fashioned soap flakes. Mix 1/4 cup water for every one cup flakes. Make as much as you need depending on size and quantity of snowmen you want to create. If the mixture seems too dry, knead with fingers longer before adding water. If you must add water do it sparingly, add one teaspoon at a time. If you over water and the mixture isn't play dough consistency, add more flakes.
3. Grab a handful of soap dough and mold and roll into balls to construct your snowman. Make the base ball of three wider than the others. Set aside to harden.
4. While dough is still soft, stick in pre-cut orange triangles for nose and press black circles in for eyes. Add small twigs for snowman arms. Use your imagination for any other accessories.
5. Let thoroughly harden before moving. You should now have great clean smelling snowmen to display for the holiday. And don't forget afterwards to stick them in your sock drawer for a clean smelling scent that lasts for months.
