A big snowman with his own hands in the garden. How to make a snowman applique from cotton balls? Original voluminous paper snowman and other ideas

And today I want to show you a lot of homemade snowman ideas. All of them can be made with your own hands from improvised materials. You might even be surprised what possibilities are hidden in ordinary socks and plastic cups.

The main thing is to do all the crafts with the children, so you will create a community in the family and unforgettable memories. Of course, not all crafts will be easy, there are those that require accuracy and perseverance. But what will be the result!

O! Now let's do something very interesting! Specifically, we will make a cute snowman out of a sock. This is a very simple craft, even a preschooler can handle it. Such a handsome man looks very neat and dignified. In general, let's find a pair of white, blue or light blue socks with whole toes and heels. And let's take 15 minutes.

Before I give you a detailed master class, I ask you to find beads or pins for the eyes and nose, buttons, ribbons or other decor. I want the craft to be elegant.

And we will make such a handsome man.

Let's take:

• 1 sock
• hot gun or glue
• scissors,
• pins,
• buttons,
• thread.

First, cut the sock in half.

We take the part that has two open ends. And we tie the thread on one side. You need to do this from the wrong side.

Now we hide the knot inside, turning the sock outward, and inside we fall asleep rice.

You can use any large cereal - peas, buckwheat, lentils, etc.

Now we need to make sure that the cereal does not spill out of the workpiece. Therefore, we tightly tie the top of the sock.

It remains only to indicate the place where the head will be. To do this, we tighten it with threads.

The workpiece already resembles a craft. It remains for us to decorate it and put on a hat.

The cap can be fixed with hot glue. To do this, the second part of the sock must be tucked up and put on the craft.

There is another very functional sock snowman idea. Here it performs both a decorative and useful function.

Let's take:

• sock,
• hot glue,
• bottle,
• cotton wool or synthetic winterizer,
• threads, felt for a hat.

It is better to take a glass bottle, not plastic. So it will be more stable and will not fall under the weight of pencils or flowers.

So, the first step is to measure the height of the bottle and put it on the toe. Everything superfluous from it must be cut off.

Then we apply a drop of hot glue from a thermo gun to the bottom of the bottle and put a sock on the bottle. So we fixed the fabric and glass.

Now you need to make the craft soft and voluminous. To do this, lay out cotton wool or synthetic winterizer in the space between the toe and the walls of the bottle.

We form the head with threads.

We tighten the edge of the sock at the neck. We also do this with threads. Then we designate the nose, eyes and mouth. For this purpose, the child can take markers.

We cut out a ring and a strip from felt, which is equal to the diameter of the inner part of the ring.

Glue the hat in place.

This craft can act as a pencil holder or a vase. Everything to your taste.

Another similar master class for creating the popular snowman Olaf. The first scheme described by me is taken as a basis.

From such crafts you can create whole compositions.

For decor, beads, ribbons, braid, sequins and even cones are used.

And if you wish, you can sharpen up and move away from patterns.

Such charm will definitely deserve its place of honor under the Christmas tree.

How to make crafts from plastic cups, step by step instructions

Another popular snowman idea is plastic cups. The craft turns out to be voluminous and resistant to rain, snow and winds. Therefore, it is often made to decorate the yard, street, or as a school decoration.

And again, everything is quite simple and clear. However, we take a decent amount of time, because you need to process a lot of cups.

Let's take:

• cups,
• stapler,
• cardboard,
• scotch.

So, the cups will need more than 200 pieces. Stock up in advance. The circle is up to you. The more you lay out the first circle, the wider the ball will be.

So, from the cups lay out a circle. Then with a stapler we fasten each piece with the neighboring ones.

We make subsequent rows in the same way, but reducing the number of glasses. Do not forget to connect the rows with a stapler.

You need to make 2 balls. One more, the other less.

We connect them together so that the smaller blank is higher - this is the head.

Now we make a nose out of cardboard. To do this, we turn it into a cone shape and glue it with tape. If this is a craft for the street, then you need to completely glue the entire cardboard.

We insert the nose into the glass and decorate the snowman with scarves, vests or hats.

But after all, smaller toys can be made from cups. You just have to turn them upside down and decorate beautifully.

How do you like the idea? I think that all this is very simple, however, it greatly inspires the creation of such crafts.

Do-it-yourself snowman for the new year from threads and glue

And the kids will love the idea with threads and PVA glue. Let's take ordinary balloons as a basis. The execution technique is quite simple, we have already done crafts based on it.

Let's take:

• thread,
• PVA glue,
• ball,
• paper.

We need to inflate the balloon to the size we need. Then we take out the threads and PVA glue. It is better to take it in large jars. Now there are two options: You can wrap the thread around the ball, simultaneously coating each row with glue. Or you can poke a hole in the tube of glue with knitting needles and thread a thread through it. So it will immediately be saturated with the composition and easily stick to the ball.

Then leave the ball to dry completely. After 6-12 hours, we burst the rubber sheath and carefully tear it off the threads. The result is a ball shape! We need at least two such balls.

Now let's make carrots. To do this, we twist the cardboard into a cone, wrap it with cling film. And according to the described scheme, we wrap it with orange threads with glue. Dry, take out the cone and peel off the polyethylene from the threads. It remains the turn of the decor.

From such crafts, you can combine whole compositions.

Original voluminous paper snowman and other ideas

Now let's take paper and think about what can be done from it. And then immediately there are a great many ideas!

We will do several options. And the first thing I want to show you is such a voluminous craft. The whole process of its creation is shown in detail in the photo.

Master class №1

You will need two A4 sheets for drawing a snowman and drawing trees. This is applied to different leaves to achieve the effect of volume.

Then we take two blue sheets of cardboard. One will act as the background, and the other as the front frame.

We also fold six A4 sheets wide (short side) with an accordion. They will be the frame to which all sheets are glued.

And now from complex to simple. A couple more master classes in the photo, which the kids can easily repeat.

Master class №2

Master class number 3

Now the idea is more complex, but no less attractive.

Master class number 4

Such a voluminous snowman can be made using this scheme. A fold is made along the dotted lines. And the part is cut in straight lines. Edges with "indents" are intended for gluing.

And here is the assembly diagram itself.

I think that all the children will be pleased with the snowman on the window! There are many stencils and vytynanok for cutting.

You can create entire compositions.

Like here, I'll attach a template below. It is most convenient to stick such paper figures on toothpaste or paste. They are then easily washed off with water.

From paper, cardboard and felt, you can make many different hangers and garlands.

It is convenient to connect them together with threads, wire or double-sided tape.

That's not all! Now we will find a use for paper towel and toilet paper tubes.

We draw eyes, carrots and mouths on them. We glue hats and scarves and enjoy such a quick and cute craft.

If desired, the bushings can be pasted over with corrugated paper, colored sheets or fabric.

You can also make applications. To do this, take the drawings that I have given below and color them. Or we fill the voids with plasticine and colored sugar. For small children, you can take different cereals.

These are such cute ideas!

Master classes of crafts from cotton wool

We have a lot of cotton at home. It somehow ceased to be used for its intended purpose with the advent of cotton pads. But it goes great for New Year's crafts!

So, let's make a snowman from cotton wool, and below there will be ideas for creating it from cotton pads.

Let's take:

• cotton wool
• skewer for barbecue,
• PVA glue,
• decor.

First of all, we form two balls of different sizes from cotton wool. We just roll the fiber in our hands.

Now we need to keep these balls from falling apart. To do this, coat them with PVA glue. And to keep them together, you can use skewers for barbecue, wire, pencil. We stick it between the balls, stringing. The excess part of the stick must be cut off.

What can be made from cotton pads?

Well, of course, the snowman! This is the first thing that comes to mind. After all, the shape of the disks allows you not to fool around with cutting even circles!

Make these Christmas tree hangings. They are a great substitute for Christmas decorations.

In combination with paper, you can create a whole application.

I liked cotton wool, how is the material? Then send to embody a similar idea!

Felt, paper and any decor are perfectly glued to the discs. So that the edges do not fluff, they can be sewn up with a decorative seam.

I think the kids will find something to do!

Crafts from fabric and felt with patterns

And now, a whole section for needlewomen! We will look at what can be made from felt and fabric. Of course, this will require more time and perseverance than in the previous sections. However, the level of difficulty will be more.

Master class number 1. We sew a snow tower. I give you a pattern.

Master class number 2. We will sew soft toys. To do this, choose a fleecy soft fabric. White, gray or blue velvet is perfect.

Let's take:

• velvet,
• thread,
• needles,
• pin.

We take this pattern and transfer it first to a sheet of paper, and then to the wrong side of the fabric.

To prevent the details from slipping off the fabric, pin them with pins to both sides of the velvet. Circle the patterns and cut out several parts at once.

Now we sew all the blanks from the wrong side, leaving one edge not connected.

Through it, we turn each blank and stuff it with cotton wool or other filler. Sew the edges and attach all the details.

Now let's turn our attention to felt. We need different shades of it. The main color, of course, is white.

Pattern number 1. These beauties are made quickly. Use the provided pattern. Fill the inside with a little filler to add volume to the craft.

From fabric and felt, you can make both voluminous and flat crafts.

It is very easy to make such flat suspensions. The main thing is to sew the edges with a decorative seam.

Another nice idea that is easy to implement. As a basis, take two floral ornaments of different sizes. And for a stick, you can use a toothpick.

Master class number 3. Snowmen from felt.

More simple tree hanging ideas. You can also make Christmas garlands out of them.

The composition of different shades of felt can be flat. When the parts are glued to each other with hot glue.

3. We stuff the blanks with filler.

This is the first pattern sheet for Olaf and his bride.

Second pattern sheet.

Let's take:

• fabric or felt in three colors,
• buttons,
• scissors.

We will use this pattern.

We transfer it to the fabric. And cut out two pieces. We try on the buttons and details of the nose and mittens.

Sew or glue small details to one side of the white fabric.

We connect both sides, folding them with the front sides inward and sewing. We turn out the bag. If desired, we insert an elastic band or lace at the top.

What beauties our craftswomen did not sew. Let's take a look at a small selection.

And even on the aprons they depicted the hero of today's article!

For those who love to knit more, I have prepared a separate section.

Crocheted snowman (amigurumi) with a pattern

The amigurimi technique is very loved by needlewomen. The simplest crochet elements are taken there: a double crochet and without it. This is done to create integrity.

Like this toy? Below is a knitting pattern!

For those who cross-stitch, you can take this pattern as a basis.

These snowmen are also made in a simple knitting technique.

Flat crafts are made with single crochets. Each row increased by 1-2-3 loops from the center.

Knit with pleasure!

Ideas for crafts from pom-poms to the garden

In the garden, you can also make such crafts from pompons. The child will quickly understand the whole point. Threads need to take terry or yarn.

And here is the step by step tutorial. We will need two pom-poms of different sizes. We connect them. To do this, you can use two options: 1. Tie them together with the ends, 2. shown below, when the pompoms are mounted on a twig, wire or skewer.

We make pompoms according to this pattern. We take two cardboard rings. We wrap them tightly with yarn. Then cut the edges. We put the thread between the rings and tighten the ends.

The idea of ​​\u200b\u200bconnecting pompoms to a skewer.

Try to repeat the entire master class and make such a handsome man.

Well, if there is absolutely no time, then at least such a cutie!

I think that crafts made from sock and pom-poms are the simplest and easiest to make. And they can be taken as a basis when creating compositions for kindergarten and school.

DIY snowmen from improvised materials

Often we have a lot of materials for creativity at hand. For example, for crafts, you can use napkins.

Or ordinary plastic bottles and jars.

Even a simple plank can be turned into a thematic detail.

Of course, make a snowman out of plasticine.

But the whole composition will turn out from pasta. Parts are best fastened with hot glue.

Wooden hanger!

Idea with CDs. We have a lot of things lying around on the balcony, we need to put them into action.

Toy made of cardboard and threads. For a more stylish design, use twine.

We have selected the best ideas from which you can make the most winter children's crafts with your own hands - a snowman. Below you will find photos of finished toys and many ideas on how to make a snowman.

Make a snowman from a pair of white socks is not difficult. Just put cotton or synthetic winterizer inside the sock (you can buy a special filler, and even cereals - rice, buckwheat, peas), tie a scarf, decorate with a hat and sew on a couple of buttons - the snowman is ready.

It is a little more difficult to make an openwork snowman from white threads. For the base, balls of thread are used. It is necessary to inflate balloons, moisten the selected threads (may be of different colors) in PVA glue and wind them around the balloon. When the glue dries, the balloon needs to burst - you will be left with an openwork ball of thread. By connecting several balls, we get a snowman. Such a snowman made of threads can be decorated with buttons, beads, rhinestones, colored ribbons.

Snowmen from felt also quite popular among crafts. Felt is great for children's crafts, it is soft and holds its shape. A felt snowman can be sewn as a soft toy:

Any version of New Year's crafts according to our step-by-step master class with photos and videos will become a worthy decoration for your interior or a wonderful creation for a kindergarten exhibition.

Snowman making is one of my favorite winter activities. However, this entertainment has a couple of drawbacks. First, the end result cannot be brought home. Secondly, it is not always possible to find the right amount of snow of the appropriate condition. Thirdly, a long immersion in such an activity is fraught with hypothermia and diseases. Alternatively, ideas on how to make a snowman at home are saving.

How to make a snowman at home

Naturally, when it comes to homework, in most cases it means a standard do-it-yourself snowman craft. Namely: three circles of paper are neatly pasted on blue cardboard. Depending on the flight of fancy, the circles can be decorated with sparkles or cotton wool.

But, if we talk about a full-fledged copy of the "street" version, then the figure of a winter comrade should be voluminous. Though not as big as you would like.

In this direction, there are several ways to implement:

• from papier-mâché;
• from plastic bottles or cups;
• from socks;
• from threads.

In fact, there are a huge number of options for materials for manufacturing. It is enough just to look at the network and evaluate the photos of homemade snowmen of various shapes and sizes. If we talk about a small interior decoration that does not have to be broken to hide, the listed methods are best suited.

Papier-mâché work

A papier-mâché snowman can be created entirely from a “dough” mixed from a base (paper, cotton wool, and even putty) and glue. Or you can pre-create from balls, plastic or other auxiliary materials, the silhouette of a winter man.

Then, soak paper, cotton wool or cardboard, and lay in layers on the form. Each piece is secured with glue. After the glue dries, the figure is painted and decorated at its own discretion.

Snowman from a plastic bottle

A master class on how to make a snowman from plastic bottles can have several scenarios. The easiest one: find a bottle that fits the shape, paint it white, glue a cardboard cone as a carrot nose. The rest of the elements can be painted or knitted.

The bottoms of plastic bottles are cut with a wall margin of about 3 cm. To make the structure stable and durable, a wire frame is made for it.

Then, using a stapler or adhesive tape, the bottoms are connected to each other by the side faces so that the cut edges are directed inside the sphere. The final product can be painted with white paint and decorated as desired. Such a snowman will have more dimensions.

cup product

More voluminous works are snowmen from the bottoms of plastic cups. To make them, you will need a stapler or double-sided tape.

The cups will simply be connected to each other by the sides so that their wide parts form a sphere. Thus, you can collect three balls of different sizes. To connect them together, you need the same stapler.

If you wish to improve the resulting design, it can be supplemented with a garland. The device will fit comfortably inside the bottom ball. You can also cut through the bottoms of the cups and thread the bulbs from the garland into them from the inside of the sphere.

Snowman from socks

In this case, you will need an old, but whole and clean, white sock. Cotton is stuffed inside. With the help of threads, the resulting bag is intercepted “at the waist” in such a way that a snowman outline of two balls is obtained. You can also make a three-level little man, but you will need a large sock or the figure will come out too small.

The "head" is also tightened with threads. So that the edge of the gum from the sock does not spoil the look, it can be cut off or hidden inside a ball of cotton.

To complement the image, a hat made of scraps or a bucket made of cardboard (fixed with threads in a couple of stitches) and a scarf are put on the snowman. Buttons are used as eyes, nose and clothing elements.

Make a snowman from threads with your own hands

• prepare 3-5 balloons, a thick thread (string or yarn), PVA glue, a brush and scissors;
• inflate 3 balloons so that they have the shape of a sphere and, if possible, differ in size from each other;
• wrap each ball with a thread so that the surface is covered with a net;
• carefully cover the yarn with glue;
• leave the balls to dry completely;
• when the glue dries and fixes the thread in its position, the balls must be carefully blown off by cutting with scissors;
• the remnants of the balls are carefully removed into the gap between the frozen threads;
• thread balls are interconnected with glue;
• the finished snowman is decorated at the request of the master.

For more atmospheric, the lower ball of such a snowman can be supplemented with an electric garland. Carefully placing all the bulbs inside, provide access to the garland to the network. A single-color device without the effect of color music will look great here. However, the final decision is made based on your own tastes.

Light bulb snowman

Now the actual options for creating. Firstly, it would be costly to make a complete snowman out of clay or dough, so old, burnt out light bulbs could be used as a frame (ideal fshape for a snowman). Here are a couple more snowmen that are made from a "bulb" frame. Very much ;) I think...

Secondly, the frame itself (in sav dependence on the necessary forms) can also be from old fabric or cotton wool. In general, of course, a matter of imagination and crazy hands - the process of making a snowman is simply unlimited. That was a business once... I knitted scarves and hats for snowmen) and they were all like family! You can go the easier way - sew.

Making such a snowman out of paper is very simple. Even a preschooler will cope with the task. It is necessary to cut out three circles of different sizes from thick white paper. It is desirable to shade the circles along the edge so that they stand out better from each other. This can be done using a crushed lead from a pencil or shadows. Also cut out a scarf, pens, a carrot nose, eyes and buttons from colored paper. Glue successively all the parts of the snowman onto the blank of your New Year's card. To add volume to the snowman, it is better to fasten the circles together using double-sided tape.
