    How did you adhere the twig arms? Poke holes?

    I love your snowman decorations. I bookmarked that wonderful video. They look like so much fun to make and super easy, not a needle and thread in sight.

    I poked a small hole with a pair of embroidery scissors in each side. then I put the tip of my glue bottle (Aleene's Original Tacky Glue) at the hole and squeezed a small amount of glue. You must make sure that all the area at the edge of the hole have glue to prevent a larger hole. Then I put glue on the bottom tip of the "arm" and placed it in the hole. This glue dries clear so although it will be a little hard, it doesn't show much. Good luck. They were fun to make.

    I would make a wall hanging for Christmas. My mother made a gorgeous Log Cabin wreath and it is hung on a dowel on my front door. Compliments, too. Oh, it is an inside front door, so it doesn't get snowed upon.

    Merry Christmas, y'all from St. Paul, Minnesota. And on this Christmas, please to listen to the words of "I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day". Keep it in your heart every day and KNOW!

    "Then heard the bells more loud and deep
    God is not dead, nor doth he sleep
    The wrong shall fail
    The right prevail
    With peace on earth, good will toward men"

    God Bless us Everyone.

    How about chair backs? A solid fabric on one side and a quilted one on the other?
