To see what type of paper I’m using for the earmuffs for this craft, check out the image below. The backing pulls away from the paper like a sticker. You can find self adhesive glitter foam sticker sheets here.

Stick to the side of snowman.
Using the other sticky circle, stick the other end of the pipe cleaner on the other side of the milk jug to complete the ear muffs!

Made these Easter Baskets with each child I swear a milk jug is made for this. The kids love it since there s a handle to carry all their goodies. So to make these you trace eyes, eyeballs, nose, ears, and inside ears. Have children cut everything out and glue eyes and ears and nose with whiskers together. When dry we stapled everything on jug or you can glue it. Then we glued a Hoppy Easter tag over the milk label. Completed with foam name, pom pom tail and grass.
Thank you for the comment! I actually have a Milk Jug Easter Basket on my list of things to make this spring for the blog here! There are so many ways to use empty milk jugs. I hope to create a series of ways to use them in 2021!
