- Cut a triangle from the orange felt for the nose.
- Use the hot glue gun to attach the eyes, mouth, and carrot nose to the outside of the jar.

Notes
Customize the face; use buttons or paint them directly. Swap materials and use a clear glass vase for a different shape. Add a small top hat for an added touch of personality. Use colored spray paint for a unique snowy effect.
