The glitter kit contains two plastic 'pencil tubes of Elmer's Glue-Al- l, a white, polyvinyl resin that dries clear, and shaker-typ- e vials of colored glitter. Both the Styrofoam and the litter kit can be purchased at ardware, variety, novelty, and stores. In areas where the kit is not obtainable, glue and Vlitter may be purchased separately. First, cut out the figures with a knife. Then lightly draw or trace the costume designs for the snowman couple with a pencil.

Allow approximately 15 minutes for the glue to dry. Follow the same procedure for each color of glitter used. . Candles, as shown in the picture, can be attached to each figure. A glittering star, a wreath, or a Menjy Christmas banner, made withi Elmers Glue-A- ll and glitter, can be substituted.
