The body is made of Chicken wire moulded into the snowman shape and I poked the buffalo snow in the chicken wire holes. The eye holes are made with screen (from the window) with coals glued around it to look like the mouth. I made the hat from felt and stuffed it to make it stand up. The head and middle hole are wired together and the bottom "snowball" has hooks on it that I could hook and unhook to a belt I wore around my waist. The entire face was a build your own snowman kit from Christmas tree shops. All pieces were glued in place except for the nose and pipe were drilled with a tiny hole and wired to the chicken wire frame.

Michael's or AC Moore, but poly fill is good too and I found a 5lb box at AC Moore for $21.99 and I used a 50% off coupon, was cheaper then the bags of buffalo snow!
