DIY snowman: the best ideas and options for creating various types of crafts (95 photos). Do-it-yourself snowman for the New Year - many ideas and crafts master classes What to make a snowman from at home

On the eve of the New Year holidays, every family tries to decorate their home as original and beautiful as possible. Children, like no one else, are waiting for the arrival of the New Year and will be happy to help you make holiday preparations. Today we offer you an interesting master class on making snowman crafts with your own hands from various materials.

Paper snowman craft

You can make a cute paper snowman with your preschool child. To do this you will need paper (preferably for quilling), cotton wool, tweezers, a sheet of cardboard and glue.

1. We cut white paper into thin strips of equal width. We twist two large rolls from these strips: the head and the body. To make large rolls you will need up to 10 strips; each new strip should be glued to the workpiece with glue. Glue two rolls together.
2. To make a snowman's hat, roll up a large roll of multi-colored stripes, then give the roll the shape of a hat by bending it with your finger. We glue the cap inside for reliability.
3. On a wide strip of yellow color, cut the fringe and twist it in the shape of a bubo. Glue the bubo and the cap together.
4. We twist a nose from a small red strip and glue on eyes made from two beads. The paper snowman is ready!

Craft snowman from threads

A children's snowman craft made from threads will decorate any New Year's holiday. From a minimum of materials you get an incredibly beautiful and original craft. To begin, take 5 balloons, PVA glue in a plastic package and a large needle. Let's pierce the bottle of glue with a needle and thread so that the thread with which you will subsequently wrap the balls is in the glue. We inflate balloons: three for the body and two small ones for the arms. We wrap each ball with threads like balls. Let the balls dry overnight. Then we pierce the balls inside our balls with a needle and take them out. We connect our balls with glue; the sides that will be adjacent to each other can be slightly flattened. From colored paper we make the snowman’s nose, eyes and decorate with accessories. Our snowman is ready!

Craft a snowman from cotton wool

A snowman craft made from cotton wool can be made as a Christmas tree souvenir or a small gift. We take a piece of cotton wool and, with soapy hands, roll it into two balls of different diameters: for the head and torso. Let our balls dry, and at this time we dilute PVA glue with water in the proportions: 1 part water and 2 parts glue. You can add glitter to the glue. Lubricate our lumps with glue and let them dry. To make a carrot for the nose, you need to tightly wrap cotton wool around a toothpick, coat it with a thin layer of glue, remove it and paint it orange. We connect the body and head using a toothpick previously soaked in glue. We glue eyes to the snowman, insert hands and decorate the resulting craft with accessories.

Craft a snowman from plastic cups

In order to make a snowman craft that is as tall as a preschool child, you need to have some free time, a little patience and invite a cheerful little helper. Pre-prepare 300 plastic cups of the same shape and a stapler with a full package of No. 10 paper clips. When choosing cups, pay attention to the fact that the narrower the rim of the glass, the better they fit together.

Good afternoon everyone, today we will make snowmen from different materials. I will show you how to make a beautiful snowman out of paper, how to make a snowman from scrap materials that are in every home. You will find on this page several master classes, which will show you interesting ways to make a snowman with your own hands. Many of the ideas can be done together with children - for the next exhibition at school on a winter theme, or for a children's New Year's crafts competition at your work.

Let's start our series of crafts from large snowmen. I suggest you three master classes, during which you will get BIG SNOWMAN.

Master class No. 1

SNOWMAN from garbage bags.

In the photo below we see a beautiful craft - a large snowman in a smart hat. This is a fairly simple job that you can easily do yourself. Suitable for this craft white trash bags, or regular bags from the store around the corner (then we use those parts of the package where there is no color picture).

The basis of the snowman is a cardboard cone. We roll a sheet of cardboard into a bag (as for seeds) and fix the edge with tape or a stapler). We trim the uneven edges of the bag with scissors so that it can stand evenly and straight on the table.
Cut white garbage bags into squares any size. The larger the squares, the deeper the fluffiness the snowman will have, and the more material will be needed. You can cut squares (3 x 3, or 4 x 4, or 5 x 5, or 6 x 6).

Prepare the glue by heating a hot-melt gun with a glue stick. We wrap a square of film around the tip of a pencil - this is how we get a bunch with a sharp center, it is convenient to apply a drop of glue on it and glue it to the base of the cone.

And we need to cover the entire cone with such bunches - the pasting comes from the lower circular rows and so, tier by tier, we move upward in a circle

Now we make a hat for the snowman. You can make a pattern for the bottom, sides and brim of a hat from cardboard and assemble all these parts. Could it be easier?- Cover a jar of olives with pieces of cardboard.

It can be made even easier: take a jar of yogurt, glue wide hat brims made of cardboard to its edges and paint everything with black gouache (mix it with liquid soap so that it applies well to the plastic, and then spray it several times with hairspray to fix the color).

Cut out eyes and buttons from black cardboard and attach it to the snowman - it’s best to glue buttons not to the fluffy coating, but to the very base - to the cone. To do this, we attach a toothpick to each element with hot glue (as in the photo above) and glue such a button on a long stem to the cone, breaking through the fluffiness to the cardboard.

HOW TO MAKE A SNOWMAN

from modular origami.

At school we are all taught to fold paper modules and then assemble them into pot-bellied vases. And since we already know how to do this, then it is entirely within our power to collect BELLY SNOWmen. Everything is very simple here, the children will help you fold the modules - you sat down at the table in front of the TV in the evening and cut several sheets of office paper into rectangles and layered them into modules. And then the next evening, a snowman was assembled from these paper parts - like from a Lego set. A large voluminous craft is obtained.

If you are a beginner master of modular origami, then first make a small snowman, as in the photo above.

And if you have free time and long-term inspiration, then take on a larger project.

Even the cheerful snowman Olaf from the cartoon can be made using the modular origami technique. How to work with modular origami ( how to fold the module itself, and how to connect them to each other, I explained in the article

How to make a snowman

PAPIER MACHE

on the air balloon.

Below we see a beautiful large snowman. It is made from two balloons.

The idea is simple and clear - coat pieces of newspaper with glue. From my own experience, I’ll tell you that you can’t do this quickly with a brush (throw away the brush) - just pour glue into a saucer, scoop glue from the saucer with your fingers into your palm with the same hand, take a piece of paper and directly with your palm, in a split second, cover a piece of newspaper with glue and immediately onto the ball... grab it We place a new piece with a glue hand and onto the ball, and so on...

When the entire ball is covered with 3-4 layers of newspaper, leave it to dry for a day or overnight.

Using a knife, we cut off the sharp part of the ball, where the tail is - take out the rubber ball, it will not be needed. And cover the hole with masking tape or other tape.

This cut will be the BOTTOM of the snowman. And on top of the large ball we attach a smaller ball - also previously covered with newspaper. secure with tape or masking tape.

We cover the adhesive areas with patches from the same newspaper. And immediately from this newspaper we roll up a tight ball of the nose, and also wrap it with newspaper wet in glue - so that it becomes denser. And with several layers of newspaper patches we attach the nose to the front of the snowman.

Snowman hands We also make it from newspaper flagella, or from wire. We make hands in the shape of twigs.

In my opinion, it is better to take the wire as a basis and secure it thoroughly. Punch a hole through the left and right sides of the snowman so that the end of the wire comes out from the left side and from the right side. Wrap newspaper patches around the wire and form twig fingers. Dry, cover with brown gouache, sprinkle with hairspray.

IF YOU DON'T HAVE WHITE PAINT. You can cover the snowman with a layer of white paper napkins (or white toilet paper) - 2-3 layers will hide the newspaper font and the snowman will turn white.
And also You can make the final layer of toilet paper in the form of strips with fringe. You will get the effect as in the photo below.

How to make a snowman

FROM NEWSPAPER LUMPS.

You can do without balloons in our craft. We just roll sheets of newspaper into comas. And then we glue these lumps with white sheets of office paper using PVA glue. For such work, you can buy glue not in tubes, but in a bucket, universal or construction PVA (this will be cheaper in terms of money).

And before wrapping them in white paper, it is better to fix the lumps of newspaper so that they do not unfold. The cling film used to wrap suitcases at airports helps with this.

Master class No. 4

How to make a snowman

FROM BOTTLES OF YOGURT.

Yogurt bottles often have convex, thick shapes and smooth curves - this is a suitable shape for a snowman. And milk bottles are made of white plastic - this is a suitable color for a snowman.

In the photo below we see a snowman made from a milk bottle. The cap is made from a BALLOON, the edge of the balloon is cut off and placed on the neck of the bottle.

But below, a round head made of a foam ball is attached to a white bottle. The snowman's cheeks and smile are drawn on the ball, and the nose and eyes are glued on. The hat and scarf are made from a sock or a piece of woolen fabric.

But even IF YOU DON'T HAVE a foam ball, you can construct a snowman's head FROM A WALL OF NEWSPAPER, wrap it in cling film so that the newspaper holds the shape of a lump. Then secure the round lump on the top of the bottle with tape. And then THIS TEMPLATE for the future snowman should be covered with pieces of newspaper smeared in PVA glue (as we did in the second master class) and allowed to dry.

After this, paint the dry silhouette of the snowman white (gouache or spray paint) and decorate it with clothes.

Also, two short glasses of your yogurt or soft cheese can turn into a funny snowman. And as we see in the master class below, it’s easy and quick to do it yourself at home, together with your children.

Master class No. 5

SNOWMAN FROM THREAD

with your own hands.

In the photo below we see a cute snowman made of yarn balls. Perhaps you have already seen such crafts before at children's exhibitions, as the work of other parents. And they admired the openwork beauty of such transparent, delicate snowmen.

On our website I have already made a separate article with detailed master classes. There you will find all the nuances and tips. And here I will just give an infographic with step-by-step photos showing the whole process.

How to make a snowman

from FOAM BALLS.

And now one of the fastest ways to make a snowman with your own hands. We come to the “Everything for Creativity” store and buy foam balls there (preferably two sizes - one larger, the other smaller in diameter). You can buy 2 balls, or three... or more. Look at the money - they are not expensive, the price does not bite.

Next, your task is simple - we cut the balls (cut off the tops) and collect them together with these flat cuts. It is better to attach it not only with glue, but also to make a FASTENING ROD inside from an ordinary toothpick. After fastening the parts, it is better to tint the balls with paint. gypsum putty or varnish or paper napkins and PVA glue. Choose a blue coating for your craft - in any case it will turn out beautiful and gentle.

Some people coat the snowman with glue and sprinkle it with salt - grains of salt imitate snow (as in the photo below). Someone coats it with glue and covers it with thin pieces of cotton wool - the snowman turns out to be felt, like a felt boot.

You can do it very beautifully - pick out scales from a pine cone and paste them over the lower part of the snowman - dress him in a pine cone caftan. And make a hat from birch bark from a birch tree - you will get a snowman with your own hands, as in the photo below.

You can assemble the snowman parts NOT VERTICALLY, but at different angles. We cut off the tops of the balls at an angle towards each other and stick the toothpicks in at an angle too - and this makes the figures curved. Like the snowmen bent over and bent - like in the photo with the craft below, DANCING SNOWMANS.

The snowman can be placed ON A PEDESTAL - on a skewer, or on two long legs (as in the photo below). To thicken the legs, you can cover them with a napkin using PVA glue, achieving the desired thickness and proportions.

Master class BELLY SNOWMAN made from halves of balls.

To make such a snowman with our own hands, we will need two balls, whose diameter differs slightly from each other. One is slightly smaller than the other.
From each ball we cut off A LITTLE LESS THAN HALF. And we put these trimmed balls next to each other at the cut points.

We cut out the details of the snowman's uniform from mold or felt. And we attach these parts to the body of the snowman using glue from a hot gun.

We paint the snowman's scarf and hat with patterns (with a felt-tip pen or paints).

You can make many New Year's crafts from foam balls. A whole composition on a snowy landscape with a Christmas tree made of balls and a team of snowmen. Everything is done according to the same principle - we cut off the tops of the balls and connect them at the place of the cut.

How to build a snowman

from CUPS.

If you spare no glue and buy 2-3 pipes with cups of 100 pieces each, you can make a beautiful snowman. You can, of course, save these cups by taking them out of the trash can next to the office cooler (if the supplies order white cups, then they will be suitable for a snowman).

This snowman craft is very simple. All you do is place the cups in a circle - like in a round dance, with the bottoms towards the center. We fix everything with a drop of hot-melt glue (you can use squares of double-sided tape, it also holds well). And then we place more cups on top of this round dance... and again - until the dome grows (this will be half a sphere). Next, we turn the sphere upside down with the first round dance and continue to build up the second half of this sphere on it.

Using the same principle, snowmen are made from drink bottles. The cut quarters of the bottom of the bottle are placed in a circle in the same way - with the cut towards the center and the bottoms out.

Snowman woven from newspaper.

How to make a newspaper bundle.

If you unfold a large sheet of newspaper and begin to twist it diagonally into a tube, you will get a strong and flexible bundle of newspaper. From such thin newspaper tubes you can weave a snowman, just like people weave baskets.

Let's see how easy and simple it really is to do. Here is a newspaper, here we roll it up into a PENCIL to make it convenient, into a narrow tube.

To prevent the tubes from unfolding, you can secure them with a drop of glue. And make a lot of threaded tubes in advance, put them in bundles, tying them with an elastic band or string.

The beginning of weaving is 8 tubes. We put them CROSS ON CROSS, four at a time. And we intertwine these four by four tubes in pairs - we slide them under each other, as can be clearly seen in the photo below.

Immediately after these four tubes, we Twist the ends of this bent tube ONCE WITH EACH OTHER (we just swapped them) and threw them through the next portion of four tubes. This can be seen in the second photo below.

We repeat this WITH ALL the four pipes of our cross.

And we notice that the ends of our first tube have become SHORT. This means it’s time to lengthen them - to do this, we take out TWO more tubes from our supplies and coat their ends with a little glue and insert them inside the short tails of our weaving. This is shown in the photo below.

After this lengthening, we move our cross beams apart in different directions. So that the tubes in the crossspread out like rays of the sun.

And now our two elongated ends will go along all the rays, each time intertwining around each of them. That is, the ends of the tube bend around the ray, crossing each other, changing places.

To ensure that our weaving is round and uniform, and does not tighten somewhere stronger, somewhere weaker, it is better to place a jar or vase in the center of the weaving and tighten our weaving around this shape. This way we will repeat the uniform roundness of the can, and we will get an even braid.

You can weave two halves of a SPHERE, then gather them together into a ball (as in the photo below), or continue weaving upward, narrowing the sphere to the top of the ball.

After the newspaper snowman is ready, it is painted with spray paint from a can. And they decorate with eyes, nose, buttons, a hat and a scarf.

Using the same principle, you can weave snowmen from willow twigs. These snowmen can decorate your summer cottage with your own hands; they will not be afraid of rain, like a newspaper, and will last for many years.

How to make a snowman

FROM WHAT'S AT HAND.

the fastest ways.

You can simply buy a package of white toilet paper. Place the rolls on top of each other. Cut out eyes, nose, mouth, twig hands from cardboard. Use an old woolen sock to make a hat. And here he is your snowman - standing there smiling. Cute, cute and big. It's nice to look at and not ashamed to show.

Here's another great way. Pour white coarse salt into a white sock. We tie the sock with twine at the top and also make bandages twice in the middle of the sock. We get a beautiful snowman. We give him a figure and face like the cartoon snowman Olaf.

Or let's do something even more interesting. Knead a cool, tight salty dough. Three glasses of fine salt, three glasses of flour, a couple of tablespoons of vegetable oil so that it doesn’t stick to your hands - and knead the dough with water. Pour water over the eye until the dough becomes like plasticine. And then add more flour so that it is definitely tight and firm. With tight dough, the snowman holds its shape better.

And if you take not wheat, but RYE FLOUR, then the snowman will definitely not settle, it will keep its shape firmly. Rye flour will give the craft a brown color. But this is not a problem - when the craft dries to a solid state, it will be easy to paint it with gouache or any facade paint.

Also, lumps of dough can be fixed on a pedestal made from an inverted flower pot. You will get a new craft. You can make a whole happy family of snowmen using dough and pots.

You can make a very bright colorful craft in the form of a snowman FROM BALLOONS. Just buy regular round white balls and multi-colored sausage balls for twisted crafts.

In order for the snowman to melt firmly on the floor, you need to add water to the lower balls - they will be the center of gravity for the snowman.

You can also very quickly make a snowman out of a pillow. The easiest and fastest way is to just sew on buttons and roll the nose out of a piece of bright orange washcloth. Tie the neck of the pillow with any homemade scarf, put on a hat (even a simple hat, not necessarily a New Year's cap).

Snowmen from FELT,

How to make a snowman out of wool.

Nowadays many people are interested in felting wool. Here in the photo below we see what a beautiful snowman can be made from a piece of ordinary wool for felting.

The fastest felting method is the wet method. In a bowl of warm, soapy water, the hairball molds like a lump of plasticine. We simply roll the wet wool in our hands and roll it into a tight ball. Three of these balls give us body parts for the snowman.

You can felt not necessarily spherical shapes. And not necessarily in a wet way. You can simply dry twist a piece of wool to the desired shape and comb it with a felting needle. It’s very simple: you poke a needle into this woolen bundle, and from this it compacts itself and knits into the dense shape that you gave it when you folded it.

You can separately felt the legs and arms of the snowman and attach them to the body by needle combing.

Twig handles are made using the wet method, when the wire is wrapped in a tuft of wool and rolled on the table with wet, soapy hands.

Additional clothing items for a snowman can be made from felt or fleece.

You can make a real broom for a felt snowman from the fibers of a homemade broom.

You can make a whole dried composition from wool with snowmen, Christmas trees, gifts, penguins and other characters that fit the New Year's theme.

Here are some simple ideas on how to make a snowman from a variety of materials. But we haven't said everything yet...

DIY New Year's snowmen can be made from a variety of materials: glass light bulbs and plastic bottles, napkins or corrugated paper, terry sock or woolen threads. Preschool children can make these crafts using the appliqué technique, and adults can learn new techniques such as decoupage, polymer clay modeling, knitting or sewing.

To do this, you can use it as additional training material, which describes in detail all the intricacies of performing each job. For example, if you decide to sew a felt toy, then there you will find tips on what order to sew the parts and how to fill them to make the toy three-dimensional.

If you like modeling with polymer clay, and you have already decorated with this technique, you can take it as new ideas and create stylish New Year’s decorations, for example, a pendant or “Snowman” earrings.

DIY New Year's snowmen: master class

They turn out very beautiful DIY Christmas snowmen, master class will show you how to complete this fun craft step by step. As a rule, it is on New Year's Eve that everyone is busy with creativity, some decorate the Christmas tree, some decorate the house or the lawn in front of the house, some create cards with their own hands, where congratulations will be written for relatives, and some prefer to make souvenirs -presents. As a matter of fact, if you decide to make a snowman, then they can be used both for decoration and as a gift.

If you're interested, how to make Christmas snowmen with your own hands, then, first of all, you need to pay attention to the technique of sewing toys using felt. If you have decided to try this type of needlework for the first time, then do not worry, since this material is very convenient, easy to cut, does not fray, so you do not need to additionally process the edges. After all, remember how difficult it was to work with satin ribbons, when we made them, they may come in handy for you too. And if you fill the sewn parts with down, you will get a beautiful three-dimensional figure.

Among the materials that we will need, felt comes first - white, burgundy, black, blue, green, red, orange. Holofiber will serve as a filler; you also need to take six beads for decoration, felt-colored threads, glitter, and Dragon glue.

Before cutting out the parts, you need to trace them on felt, and first you need to prepare a sketch or pattern of all the elements. It can be printed, or transferred from the monitor to paper (just place an A4 sheet in the monitor and trace the elements with a pencil).

Now you need to cut out the elements on paper. Take white felt and fold it in half (because this material does not have a reverse side). We will use it to complete the base of the snowman. We attach two circles of paper (which we cut out) on top; this can be done using pins. You can cut out as many bases as you want to end up with snowmen.

Next, you can sew the circles together using threads of a contrasting color, for example, green. Hand stitches look very beautiful on this material, but they must be neat. The circle does not need to be sewn up to the end right away; first it must be filled with holofiber, and only then sewed up. On top of this already formed circle, you need to put both sides of the upper, second part, combining them. Also secure with pins and sew with hand stitches. At the junction, you also need to sew first on one side, fill it with holofiber and sew up the second side.

The base is ready, it's time to decorate it. The snowman should have a beautiful black cap. Cut it according to the pattern using black felt. You can trace the details along the contour with chalk or a piece of dry soap. There should still be two parts for each element of the craft.

Now we attach the cap to the head, it must be “put on” over the head and secured with pins. Cut a strip from the burgundy color that will be attached to the front side. It must be glued with Crystal or Moment.

We make the eyes using black beads; they need to be sewn or glued. Orange material will be needed to cut out and then sew the nose, and attach the finished nose to the face (glue it). You need to embroider the mouth of the toy using hand stitches so that it looks just like natural.

You also need to embroider a snowflake on the bottom circle using hand stitches. You need to cut a Christmas tree out of green. Sew hand stitches down the center, sewing it to the base.

Cut a couple of stripes from blue. Glue one on the neck, so you decorate the snowman with a scarf, and form the other strip into a bow and secure it in the center.

We got these beautiful ones DIY Christmas crafts: snowman must be original, so decorate each next one with other elements.

If you like sewing from felt, then be sure to try it, they will tell you what color material to buy.

DIY Christmas crafts: snowman

DIY Christmas snowmen from bottles Decoupage techniques require special skills, so children do not always cope with this type of creativity on their own. But we offer you the simplest option - crafts from threads; here you only need to know how to make pom-poms. Naturally, we will need white yarn, and we will also need some blue yarn for decoration.

To make a pompom, you need a template that is an open ring. For each pompom you need to take two identical ones. It is better to do it from thick paper (cardboard, for example). The diameter of your template will determine the size of the pompom.

Now we need to remember how we sculpt a snowman, because for this we always use three snowballs of different sizes, the same must be done here, but the snowball will be pom-poms. Small will have a diameter of 4.5 cm, medium - 6 cm, large - 8 cm.

Two identical templates must be folded, wrapped with yarn, it must be wound tightly. Now cut a small piece of thread. Squeeze the workpiece tightly in your hand and cut the threads from the outside between the two template parts. Thread the prepared piece of yarn through and tie it. Now the finished pompom needs to be trimmed, cutting off all excess. Make three fluffy lumps and you can form a snowman, for this you need to use hot glue.

The eyes should be made of black beads, the nose should be made of orange felt, filled with holofiber. We will decorate our toy with a cylinder, which we will also cut out of blue material. The mittens are made of red, and the hands must be made of thick wire, wrapped with black yarn. At the end, decorate it with a blue knitted scarf.

DIY paper Christmas snowmen

DIY paper Christmas snowmen- this is an activity for the little ones who find it difficult to make crafts using sewing or pom-poms; for preschoolers you can offer very beautiful appliqués. A snowman can be made from napkins; although the activity is simple, it is very exciting and useful; thanks to such creativity, the child develops thinking, imagination, and fine motor skills.

In addition to napkins, you will also need scissors, a stapler, glue, and cardboard for the base (preferably blue). First you need to take ordinary white napkins (three pieces) and fold them together. Fasten them in the center with a stapler. Cut out a circle with scissors, which must first be drawn with a pencil.

Next, carefully lift each layer, holding it in the center. Do the same with the next batch of napkins, only this time the circle should be of a smaller diameter. Now take one napkin and fold it: in half and in half again. Cut out the smallest circle. Now you need to glue the three parts onto the cardboard base and decorate the snowman from napkins.

Cut out a hat from colored paper, make eyes from black plasticine, and a carrot nose from orange.

DIY New Year's snowmen made from socks

It’s always interesting to give a second life to old and unnecessary things, for example, it often happens that one sock is lost and the second one can be thrown away, but we offer you a creative idea on how to do DIY New Year's snowmen made from socks, you will also need an old small children's hat, a circle of thick cardboard, cereal, and white thread. Scissors, a needle, two small buttons for the eyes, a piece of red foam rubber.

You need to put a circle of cardboard into a white sock to make the craft stable. Then pour cereal into the sock (you can take rice or buckwheat). Tie the top with white thread. Then use a thread and a needle to outline the neck, tighten it, and give it shape. In the same way, you need to make the handles.

Cut off the top of the hat and bend its edges to make a hat for a snowman. Another piece needs to be cut off for a scarf.

Now you can sew on the button eyes. If there are buttons in the shape of hearts, then you can decorate the body with them.

DIY Christmas snowmen from bottles

A bottle of liquid caramel has the right shape to make a neat snowman out of it. You also need to take white plasticine, white, gray and yellow threads (for knitting), two toothpicks, beads for the nose, black plasticine for the eyes, superglue for joining parts.

The bottle should be coated with a thin layer of plasticine. Make a hole in the middle for your hand and insert a toothpick. Next, the entire bottle must be wrapped in white yarn, pressing it to the plasticine. Fasten and trim the ends.

As a bucket, which traditionally serves as his headdress, you need to take a jar of yogurt. It must be cut to the desired height and glued on top with superglue. Next you need to glue the nose, eyes and buttons.

You can find several more ideas for creating New Year's toys using various techniques and techniques. For example, you can make balls from threads: dip the threads in glue and wrap them around an inflated balloon; when they dry, the balloon bursts, and transform the resulting ball and two more of different sizes into a snowman figurine.

But don’t be upset, even if the winter turned out to be not very snowy. You can make a funny hero from scrap materials. Relax.by has prepared several options for you.

Crocheted snowman

Materials for creativity:

padding polyester or cotton wool;
white or red buckle;
hook 0.85;
needle;
two wooden beads.

Take a white buckle, cast on four chain stitches and create a circle. Make two stitches in each loop of the chain. Repeat the same in the second and third row. In the next row you need to make three stitches and one air loop. Next, two stitches in the fourth loop of the chain; knit the entire row using the same principle.

You also need to knit the next row, but keep in mind that you need to knit two stitches every seventh loop. Next, knit every 10th loop in the same way, plus three chain loops in each new row. Knit two more stitches in further rows. You cannot add new loops in the chain after the 19th loop; knit two more rows in this way, and then decrease. You can increase the size of the toy by knitting additional rows without adding loops. At the end of the work, leave a small hole for padding polyester or cotton wool. Having stuffed the product with them, be sure to sew up the hole.

You will get one ball. Using the same pattern, create two more and sew all the balls together. To make it more convenient to sew on other parts of the snowman, tie a buckle around the wooden beads - these will be the snowman’s arms. Make the nose from an orange buckle, attach the eyes with glue.

Snowman made from socks

Materials for creativity:

white socks;
cotton wool;
markers;
scissors;
threads and needles;
pieces of colored fabric;

Making a snowman using this unusual method is very easy. Fill the sock with cotton wool and tighten it with thread. It should be a circle. Wrap several levels of the snowman with white threads, making equal parts.

The snowman will need a hat. Make it from colored fabric or socks. Stuff them with cotton wool and sew toys to the head.

Felt pens will help you make eyes, nose and mouth. By the way, it is better to make the eyes from beads, and embroider the mouth with red threads. Tie a small scarf around the snowman's neck.

This snowman is unusual - he has a surprise. This New Year's craft will delight both children and adults. Few people will guess that there are sweets hidden inside the toy.

Inflate the balloons to the required size and give them a spherical shape using tape.

Mix the paste. This is not difficult to do: bring the water to a boil, add flour to it and cook the mixture for several minutes over low heat. Cover the balls with pieces of newspaper. Apply several layers of newspaper to the surface of each ball. The more layers, the stronger the snowman.

Now glue the snowman and attach a string to its bottom. Secure it around the perimeter of the craft with tape or glue.

So, the base of the snowman is ready. You can start pasting corrugated paper in a circle, first bending it in half and making cuts in increments of 2-4 cm. For the craft, you can use corrugated paper in a reel, or you can use regular sheet paper cut into strips.

Give the snowman eyes, nose and mouth. The scarf and buttons can be made from drape or other fabric, and the face elements can be made from cardboard.

When the snowman is ready, carefully cut a hole on the top of his head and pour sweets inside.

This New Year's craft can be used for playing outside or as gift wrapping from Santa Claus. A DIY snowman can decorate your outdoor patio.

Snowman made of balls and strings

Materials for creativity:

a skein of white thread (not thin);
balls (5 pieces);
PVA glue;
big needle.

Inflate balloons for the torso and arms.

Thread the thread through a needle and pierce the bottle of glue. Remove the thread from the needle. In the future, the entire thread will be saturated with glue. Coat each ball with sunflower oil and wrap it with thread in a chaotic manner.

It is advisable to wrap it in such a way that gaps are minimal. Then hang the resulting balls in a warm place for 20-24 hours to dry.

Pierce each ball with a needle and pull out the remains.
