I wanted to give my MOPS table another little treat and I had seen a cute project made out of a flameless votive candle. I found a package of 3 for $1 at Dollar Tree. Super cheap! I found the trinity poem on the internet and the idea on Pinterest. I put 9 of them together in about 2 hours from start to finish. Just used an orange Sharpie marker to color in the "carrot" nose and a black one for the eyes and "coal" mouth. I hot glued on a pin back in case they wanted to wear them ever (probably not, but it sure made it easier to attach them to the poem cardstock!) So, if nothing else, the pin made my job as assembler much easier.

I think if I had more time to plan this one, I would have purchased some cute polar fleece material for the scarf but since I didn't... I just used up some snowman fabric that I had on hand.
In any case, it added a little cuteness to my MOPS lady friend's days. Or at least I think they did.
Here is the poem, in case you would like to use the idea for a project of your own.
Snowman Trinity Poem
by anonymous
When you see
a snowman, three snowballs round, it reminds you that with God, three
in one can be found. The bottom reminds us of God, the Father, our
strong Rock and Foundation, Creator of all living things. The middle
shows us God, the Son, with arms spread open wide, who died on the cross
for our salvation. The head reminds us of God, the Holy Spirit, who is
our Counselor and Friend. He speaks to our hearts and minds,
transforming us into the likeness of Him. So when you are in the midst
of your wintertime fun and a snowman you do see, remember the blessings
given you through the Holy Trinity.
