"My name is Courtney Hester on behalf of Expert Village and in this clip we're going to be making a snowman. We're going to take a round topped clothespin and we're going to need to paint it white. Now that we've painted it white and it is dried, we need to give it a top hat. We're going to start by taking a piece of felt and cutting out a circle. Now that we've cut it out, we're going to glue it to the top of our snowman. Next we need to take a wooden spool like this one that you can get at a craft store and we're going to paint it black. Once you've done that we're going to glue it to the top of the felt piece to make a hat. Now our snowman has a top hat. The next thing we're going to do is give our snowman a scarf and we're going to use some red yarn and some green yarn. You're going to take the two pieces together and I'm going to kind of twist them around. Now we are going to tie his scarf to his neck, now our snowman has a scarf. Now we're going to take some markers and we're going to give him a face and some buttons. To make our snowman an ornament we'll want to add a hook to the back or a loop. We're going to take our gold cord and we're going to make a loop with it touching our end pieces together and then we're going to glue those end pieces to the back of our snowman. Now that we have added our hook to the back of our snowman, he is ready to be hung on the tree."
