Snowman Dinner Party

After a recent winter storm I went for a walk in the park and was inspired by all the sparkly snow and icicles. I wanted to bring some of the outdoors in and have a party with some snowmen! 

To "build" the snowman bowls: attach two white bowls end to end with sticky florists clay. The scarves were made by cutting one inexpensive scarf into several smaller scarves. For the face I experimented with cutting shapes out of adhesive backed foam sheets to get the right size. Once cut out you can just stick them in place.

On the table, fake snow, snowflakes, pine trees, and candles were arranged to create a winter centerpiece.

To bring icicles into the scene, the chandelier was decorated with icicle ornaments and fake snow. It really felt like there were icicles dangling from above!
You gotta have soup when it's cold outside! To balance it out we also had a strawberry salad and garlic bread. I cheated with the cookies and just bought them from Starbucks. The donut snowmen had orange tictacs for noses and mini chocolate chips for the rest of the face. 
For the hats: cut out a hat shape from sparkly black foam. Add some red paper to look like the hat ribbon and hand write each guest's name in black marker on the red paper. Now you can attach the hat to a tall place card holder so that it looks like your snowmen are wearing hats!
