Ok, I tried doing something a bit more complicated.
I wanted to make a flower, but I found the mirror modifier only works along the axis and not radially. I found a way around it by using an empty (no idea what that is) and the array modifier. That seem to work great until after I applied the modifier. I had to merge some vertices but it wasn’t too bad. I tried editing the stem and found I couldn’t add loop cuts. I turned on that stats panel to see if it had made duplicate edges due to the array modifier, but I had already merged them. Fortunately I had add some cuts before applying the modifier.
Anyway, here is the result. I think its a bit better then my snowman.
