Button Snowman Tag Decoration

I’m not sure if I have overworked this snowman tag.

I wonder if the simplicity of using two buttons to make the snowman has been overtaken by the fuss of the hat and scarf and really it could be anything underneath????

The buttons were a charity shop find, I got around 20 measuring about 28 mms diameter for £1.99.  To make the snowman more stable and easier to work with I glued the head and body together with a small piece of card.

I might start again but use a finger from child’s gloves instead and then a piece of felt for the scarf to make the overall effect look less bulky.  Time is a getting a bit short, so it could be an idea I will have to come back to after Christmas.
