Come on, let's make large New Year's snowmen in the yard with our own hands!
New Year's decor in the house is great, but it is not worth leaving the yard without decoration. Choosing which material is better to make a snow statue and how to decorate it.
What is the best way to make a snowman out of snow
Everyone was small and, like, remember how to make a snowman out of snow. But in fact, very often adults, when trying to blind a snow woman, begin to be perplexed: what came out so well and easily in childhood, for some reason, does not turn out very well in adulthood.
If the snow is loose and fluffy, and an unreal crunch of snow is heard outside the window from frost, then we will wait for milder temperatures - the snow should be slightly melted and pliable.
We offer a small parting word:
Let's go for a walk together and mold big and small snowmen!
Sculpt the torso of a snowman
A snow statue can have either two or three pieces. If you are planning a high, amazing work, then we think in advance how to put our head on the body. Someone may need to bring a stepladder from home!
We make a big snowball and lower it into the snowiest place in the yard. First, someone rolls the ball alone, and as it grows rapidly, we ask for help from friends and relatives. The second and third balls must be proportionally smaller. Do not forget that the weight of the snow globe is impressive, so one person is unlikely to be able to build a tall snowman. To make the snowman durable, it is advisable to spray it with cold water from a spray bottle after all work is completed.
Reviving the sculpture: making a face and adding accessories
There are enough approaches to creating a snowy craft face. The traditional way involves a carrot or stick instead of a nose. You can pre-collect black stones, from which the mouth, nose and eyes are laid out. Someone prefers to take out gouache and paint a face.
RUchki are made from branches or from lumps of snow. It will be great if you dress the snow giant in an old scarf and share a hat with him.
Can you make a snowman out of car tires?
Summer garden crafts made of tires are already familiar to everyone, but in winter all the sculptures are covered with snow. For New Year's decor, you can make an interesting and safe DIY snowman craft for kindergarten.
In order for the structure to withstand the onslaught of curious children and adults, the tires from the inside must be firmly fastened with bolted washers.
For the head you need a sheet of corrugated cardboard or thin plywood (which is preferable). We cut out a circle commensurate with the inner diameter of the tire, fix it and paint the body and head with face with white facade paint. Draw the eyes and mouth with black paint.
How to make a snowman out of plastic bottles
In a short time, it will not be difficult to get a large number of plastic bottles - they also make a cute snowman with your own hands.
The work is simple, but quite long in time, if you do everything alone, so we connect everyone.
- Cut off the bottoms from the bottle.
- We construct a frame in the form of balls from wire, for convenience it is worth additionally making horizontal levels, it is possible from wire or twine.
- We pierce each "flower" of the bottom with a heated awl in two places opposite each other, on the walls.
- We stretch the twine through each of the two punctured holes of all bottoms.
- We wrap the resulting garland around the wire frame-ball, tying it with pieces of twine.
- We paint the finished product from a spray can white.
The last stage - we decorate the product with felt eyes, imitation of carrots (you can twist a newspaper, wrap it with a paper strip and paint it orange), a scarf and a hat.
What is worth trying to make a snowman craft at home
Home art develops not only fantasy, but also the ability to perceive beauty, creativity, the ability to use different materials to create beautiful things.It is best when the whole family wants to jointly decorate their home for the New Year, and the decision to make a snowman will be useful for everyone. As a suitable material for this purpose, paper, fabric, cotton wool, Christmas tree and plastic balls, make beautiful embroidery, knit and prepare edible "snow" figurines.
How to make a snowman out of paper: as easy as shelling pears
There are many different ways to make a paper snowman with your own hands. Applique, origami, papier-mâché, mosaics and much more do not require a lot of tools.

The napkin sleeve can turn into a snowy guest with a slight wave of the hand: we paste over the sleeve with white paper, use the application method to create a face and handles. The napkin folds into a charming winter headdress
Making a small fabric snowman with your own hands
The soft cute snow man will become a welcome guest on the tree, and it will be pleasant to sew it for both adults and children. White threads, white fabric for the torso, head and fabric of a different color for accessories, scissors are useful in the work. In order to sew a felt toy, you will need the same tools and the felt itself.

We cut out a drawn template from paper, which can consist of two or three circles. Transfer the lines of the template to felt, cut out the shapes
First, apply small parts of the face from felt using glue, and then we begin to sew the details with a overcast seam. Do not forget to leave a small hole through which we will fill a wonderful toy with padding polyester or cotton wool.
We sew a snowman from socks with our own hands
The sock snowman is born with the help of a pair of hands, as well as the desire to create a cute toy from a white fluffy sock. The work also requires white threads, fabric for accessories, buttons for the eyes, threads for embroidery of the mouth. You can use beads instead of buttons and threads.

We cut off the upper part from the sock - it is from it that we will sew a winter toy - and work according to the step-by-step instructions in the photo
It is better to take thick woolen socks with a good level of "fluffiness".

Wadded snowman
It is very easy to do it yourself with a cotton wool snowman. This does not require a special master class, everything is extremely easy.

Waste improvised material - a container that has become unnecessary from under a cosmetic product will fit as a durable and convenient base
We arm ourselves with PVA glue and cotton wool. We buy cotton wool not in balls, but in a solid large lump, preferably in a roll. We put PVA on the bottle and wrap it with a cotton blanket. Do not be afraid to apply glue directly to the cotton wool - when dried, PVA will make the craft very durable. Having formed the body of the toy and waiting for it to dry completely, the elements of the face are applied with paint and a piece of cloth is tied to the figure as a scarf.

A beautiful work is also obtained from a cotton pad and pieces of cotton wool. You can make many products at once and decorate the Christmas tree with them for the holiday

We embroider the winter guest with a cross
Embroidery for the New Year is used on aprons for bottles, table decorations, napkins, tablecloths and boots for gifts. There are ready-made schemes that need to be printed on a printer in color and used as a guiding star.
We leave the more complicated scheme for ourselves:

Snowmen made of different-sized foam balls
Today, for needlewomen, green lights are everywhere. They also lit such a light in creative stores - basic foam balls are sold, which are intended to become Christmas tree decorations. We use several of these balls of different sizes to create a beautiful snowman.

For stability of the figure intended for the decoration of horizontal surfaces, the bottom is slightly cut
The decor is made from any fabric, but felt is best.
Children's craft from paper plates
Children will be able, practically without the help of their elders, to cope with such a craft as a snowman made of paper plates. Adults will only control the moment of gluing the plates with a heat gun. You only need two disposable plates, colored paper, hot glue and scissors.

To help the child, it is worth explaining to him how to make the decoration of the craft, and not do all the work for him
Glowing snowman made of plastic cups
Many would like to make a snowman craft with their own hands, but they just cannot find a way to work and convenient material. It's worth building an interesting glowing figure!
You can take transparent cups, but the white snowman looks better. You will also need a small stapler, black felt or colored cardboard, a scarf and an LED garland.

We fasten the cups with the walls with a stapler row by row. We adjust the shape manually by fastening in the right places
Snowmen: a voluminous transparent guest for the New Year made of threads, glue and balloons
It is surprising if someone has not yet heard of a way to make a volumetric ball from threads, PVA glue and an inflatable ball. This is a truly wonderful way to create beauty from literally nothing!
Of the materials, only dense white threads (like "Iris"), a jar for PVA glue (we take good thick glue), a couple of balloons, cling film and a little any hand cream are needed.
We inflate balloons of different sizes. We wrap each inflated ball with cling film and lightly grease it with cream. This is done in order to avoid ugly lumps of dried glue on the figure.
Let's leave each ball to dry. Then we untie them, release the air and give them to the children. We got 3 balls!
CDs as a base for a snowman
Old blanks become a good base for crafts. They are easy to turn into anything thanks to their imagination and decor.

If you coat the disc with PVA glue and sprinkle it with glitter, you get a funny face of a snowman. Also, if you use a thermal gun, it's easy to get a funny figure out of three discs.
Let's eat a snowman?
We figured out the crafts, but do not forget about carving - decorating edible dishes.What can you make a snowman and how to decorate it? It all depends on whether a sweet dish is expected at the table, or it is an original appetizer.

If you grate melted cheese, add grated crab sticks and a little mayonnaise, salt and garlic to it, then it will be easy to blind three balls and stack them on top of each other
The decoration of dishes can be anything. A sweet snowman made of biscuit and coconut flakes is decorated with fruits, berries, sweets. A snack scarf can be made of red fish, a broom can be made of salted straw.
Do not limit your imagination, your idea will probably be even more interesting!
