• Having filled the bag to the end with filler, you need to tighten the edge with white thread or elastic. It is necessary to do it tight, otherwise - the cereal can spill out.

• Now you need to make a hat to the snowman. To do this, use the second part of the sock. In it, it is necessary to cut the heel part and align the cut edges. Next, turn on the wrong side.We turn off the cut edge 1-2 cm, thus forming the fur part of the future hat. You can decorate the rest of the cap with any figures cut out of colored fabric. Fix with glue.
• In the role of a scarf, you can use any shred of colorful fabric.
