These are my cute (if I do say so myself) little snowman.
They are constructed on a Trader Joe's chocolate bar. The body is felt, big beads for the eyes, nose, and buttons, fleece for the hat and scarf. The noses were made by fusing two pieces of orange fabric together and cutting them into triangles. The only sewing was on the hats, which I sewed into tubes, then gathered at the top with embroidery floss, while adding a jingle bell and snipping the top into a pom-pom.
They were fun to make and I did do them assembly line style. I wrapped the felt around each bar and held it together with double side tape. Then I did the hats, then the beads, then the scarves and lastly the noses. I added the rosy cheeks with a small paintbrush and real powdered blush from my cosmetics stash.
LeeAnna asked what would happen if the candy was taken out. I just tried one and the bar slid right out with no damage to the snowman. It also made it very light weight and would be cute as a tree ornament.
Feel free to copy and have a great Christmas season!

So cute! Your non quilts friends will love them! PS I might just borrow this idea for my table too. Thanks!
Yes, totally adorable…thank you for the inspiration!
They are adorable and very clever!
okay, do they hold their shape once a person scarfs down the chocolate? I'm thinking it's a cute gift for my husband to give his workerbees but I'd want it to be an ornament after.
Oh my gosh - I love these! I might steal your idea as well. Nice gift for co workers
Very clever, Norma! I particularly like that you took the time to make the nose out of two colors.
Norma, this is so cute! Very creative and congrats too on your showing. What an achievement.
