Snowman Hat Winter Gift

Because, you know, who's not thinking about keeping warm right now? Haha!

But seriously, I ran across this idea some time ago, and although the original is made from card stock or something like from the craft store, my first thought was that it was a paint chip project. An easy paint chip project. I like easy.

My Paper Paradise

So I found these paint chips...uhhh, in my purse. Yeah, they were just in my purse, because you know I like to always be prepared with Paint Chips when I'm hungry and on the go...

The original instructions said to "chomp the corners", but I wasn't hungry at the moment so I just cut them.  (lol, I'm assuming it meant some paper crafting tool and machine that I don't have.)

I had a white chip, but no snow flake paper punching thing, and no way I could have free-hand cut one good enough, so I went digging in my craft-stuff-stash to see what else I had.

I had these little plastic snow flake ornaments:

Or sparkly pom-poms:

But mostly I have a bowl of holly/berry glitter/confetti that I bought some years back for another craft, and I swear the things keep multiplying, like rabbits.
Actually, that tells you how long ago I bought the things - when you actually got your money's worth of something.

I just used Elmer's school glue to glue it all together.

All I had was ziplock baggies, which were too big at the top so I cut the zip part off, and folded the baggie over and stapled it.

I didn't have any mini marshmellows. I'll get some if I actually decide to make any more of these around Christmas.

I think a snow flake embellishment would really better fit the theme of it being a snow man's hat, and the hot chocolate being for keeping warm on a snowy/cold day.
