Dip end of paintbrush in black acrylic craft paint and dot on snowman eyes and mouth. Using the same technique, add white highlights to eyes.
Paint an irregular triangle for the snowman’s carrot nose with orange acrylic craft paint. Add an outline around the carrot nose with black craft paint diluted with a bit of water and the skinny round brush.
Paint a small snowflake with light blue acrylic craft paint and the skinny round paintbrush. Once paint is dry, outline with iridescent glitter glue. Set aside to allow glitter glue to dry.
Basecoat band at top of basket with dark green acrylic craft paint. Apply a second coat of paint, if necessary and then set aside to dry. Using the skinny round brush create a plaid pattern with white, red, and light green acrylic craft paint. Allow each color to dry before adding the next color.
Attach two black buttons to the front of the basket with a glue gun and glue sticks.
To create the earmuffs cut two one-inch circles from craft felt. Measure and cut two eight-inch lengths of feather boa trim and glue to the felt in a spiral fashion making sure to secure the ends with a glue gun and glue sticks. TIP: Use the tip of your scissors to hold the feather boa trim down until the hot glue cools. To finish, glue the earmuffs to either end of the basket handle.
