water;
glue;
bright orange paint;
beads;
small branches.

Manufacturing process:

So, cotton wool, if it is rolled up in a dense lump, needs to be fluffed up.
We wet our hands in water and lather, after which we roll two balls out of cotton wool, one larger, the other smaller.
It will be very easy to roll the balls. The glue is slightly diluted with water, after which we lubricate the cotton balls with the resulting mixture.
We connect the balls with a toothpick - put cotton balls on it.
We cover our Snowman with a layer of sparkles that will create the illusion of a snowball.
How to make a nose - a carrot? Wrap some cotton wool around the tip of the toothpick, then paint it with bright orange paint.
Break off a toothpick with cotton wool and insert it into a ball - a head.

Manufacturing process:

We inflate balloons of three different sizes - the “head” and two balloons for the body.
We take the first ball, coat it with glue and, holding the tip, wrap it around the entire area with threads.
After winding the first layer, we spread the threads with glue, after which we make another layer.
We set the ball aside, giving it time to dry. In the same way, we make two more balls, larger in size.
How to extract the ball from the thread ball? Very simple! Once the glue has dried, you just need to pierce the ball and pull it out through the threads.

paper snowman

The New Year 2020 of the White Metal Rat is approaching, and each of us is preparing for this wonderful holiday. Someone plans to celebrate the holiday at home, with family, and someone, on the contrary, in a noisy company of friends, on the street. In both cases, I would like to decorate the New Year's meeting place beautifully. Usually, the New Year's decoration of the dwelling consists of a Christmas tree, all kinds of garlands and beautiful festive compositions from Christmas tree branches and tinsel. On the street, traditionally, a snowman is made from snow and decorated with various funny accessories. But what if you want to have such a funny snowman in your apartment, or it so happened that there is little or no snow on the street? For such cases, we offer some great ideas on how to make a snowman for the New Year 2020 with your own hands from improvised materials.

Snowman from plastic cups

In order to make such a rather unusual snowman, you should not work for a long time, because creating such a miracle is as easy as shelling pears!

For manufacturing you will need:

plastic cups - 300 pcs.;
PVA glue or stapler;
plasticine.

Progress:

30 glasses should be laid out in a circle and fastened together with a stapler or glue. The first row is ready. According to the same principle, we make the second and all subsequent rows. For each next row, fewer and fewer glasses will be required, since they are conical in shape. Thus, the first lump should turn out.
The next lump should be more round and smaller. We take 22 plastic cups and form the second ball in the same way as the first. After that, turn it over and lay out the missing rows. If desired, you can make a third lump, however, in this case, it may be too unstable.
Connect both lumps and make sure that everything turned out correctly and evenly.
Let's start decorating. Make eyes out of black plasticine, and a nose out of orange. Put on a hat or cap. You can also use a scarf, ribbons, fabric and other elements for decoration.
You can put a New Year's garland under the snowman, in which case it will also glow. The main thing: show your imagination! Such decoration can be installed in the house or on the street.

We remove the needle, and wrap the inflated balls with a thread, previously smeared with a small amount of vegetable oil (so that the thread does not stick to the ball). Try to wrap the balls as carefully as possible so that there are no gaps at all. Once all balloons are wrapped, place them in a warm place to dry completely (at least 24 hours).
After that, pierce each ball with a needle and remove its remains by the tail.
We sew all the parts with white threads. For maximum effect, you can coat the stitching points with glue. Leave it until completely dry.
Eyes can be made from buttons or beads, nose and mouth - from colored paper. Put on a hat and scarf. Our snowman is ready for the New Year!

We cut the scarf in a semicircle from the second half of the remaining sock and tie it around the neck of the snowman.

Making a snowman yourself is very simple, without spending a lot of money.

For this you will need the following materials:

Threads;
pearl barley or rice;
beads, rhinestones, buttons, ribbon.

Take a sock and cut off the nose. Let's put it aside.

We take most of the sock (with the heel) and tie one side with a thread. It must be tied tightly so that there is no hole left.

We fall asleep in the sock of cereals. It is better to take pearl barley or rice, because they are light and will not show through a white sock. We fall asleep almost to the very end, leaving a little bit of fabric so that we can tie it with a thread.

We tie a sock. It turns out a white ball or oval.

We put the sock on one of the sides with a tied bun (preferably with the one that turned out to be thicker). We begin to wrap the filled sock with a thread just above the middle. The bottom part should be larger than the top.

Let's start decorating. Between the balls, which are separated by threads, we tie a ribbon. The ribbon is a snowman's scarf.

We take rhinestones or beads and glue them like eyes, nose and mouth. It is better to glue on the glue-moment.

Liquid glue will not work, it is absorbed into the sock and the beads fall off.

We take the cut off nose of the sock and make a bend. We put it on the head of a snowman. It turns out a hat.

Two beautiful snowmen come out of a pair of socks. They are very cute and uplifting. Will be a great decoration for the holidays.

Do-it-yourself napkin stand with a snowman

New Year's holiday table is never complete without a hot dish. In order not to spoil a beautiful tablecloth, hostesses often use special coasters. But they can be made so that their appearance is in harmony with the atmosphere of the holiday. For example, link them in the form of a snowman.

To knit a stand in the form of a Christmas tree toy, we need any yarn of medium thickness of any dark color (otherwise the appliqué will merge with the background color), hook No. 1, white jeans yarn, pieces of glue-based felt, a decorative bow, two beads, scissors .

We collect 4 air loops from dark-colored yarn and close them into a ring with a connecting loop.

We knit the first row with single crochets, inserting the tool into the hole of the ring. The number of columns does not matter, the main thing is that the knitting does not bend. We also close the row with a connecting loop.

The next rows are also knitted with single crochets. To prevent knitting from bending at the edges, it is necessary to periodically make additions. We make additions in each row, but their number will vary depending on the numbering of the row. For example, in the second row we make 3-4 additions, in the third - 4-5 and so on. The number of additions can also vary from yarn, so, most importantly, make sure that the knitting does not fold and the additions are at an equal distance from each other.

The total number of rows for the base is 5-6. You can make larger ones if you want the base to be larger.

In the next row, with a thread or a yellow marker, we designate 4 points that are equidistant from each other. In this row we also knit single crochets, but at the points marked to us we knit three single crochets into one loop.

We knit the third row in the same way as the second.

After that, we will tie the edge of the stand. To do this, we attach white yarn to the edge of the circle and knit the following pattern: 3 air loops for lifting, 1 double crochet in the same loop, 3 air loops, “pico” from these three air loops, 2 double crochets in the same loop.

We repeat the pattern to the end of the row, only instead of 3 air loops we knit a double crochet.

After that, we knit single crochets in the same way as we did when knitting the warp.

From pieces of glue-based felt we cut out a “bucket” and a “carrot”.

We form eyes from beads, sew all the details and glue them to the base so that we get a snowman.

Hot stand "Snowman" is ready. The author of the master class is Elena Sharygina.

In winter, in snowy weather, children are happy to roll snowballs, and then make big and small snowmen out of them. It immediately becomes clear to everyone that the basis of such crafts should be balls of different sizes. If you transfer this object to paper, be sure to show round details. They can be easily drawn with a compass. But what to do if the child is still small, he does not know how to handle a compass at all, and this sharp object is dangerous for him.

Toilet paper tubes are another matter. Quite decent crafts are obtained from rolls. Naturally, the paper is gray on top, but it can be pasted over with a white sheet. And you can even not use a gray fragment, but immediately make a thin long cylinder of white cardboard.

Thus, to show a snowman figurine, it is not necessary to cut out 2-3 circles. You can make a white top hat and add distinctive details - a long carrot nose, skis, a broom. All this develops the baby's imagination, makes it possible to use non-standard materials and techniques to perform unusual crafts.

What to prepare for making a paper snowman:

white paper and a roll of toilet paper for the torso;
orange paper for the nose;
yellow and blue paper for headphones;
black paper for skis;
branches and tape for a broom;
scissors;
glue;
red and black pens or markers.

Make a white cylinder - the basis of the whole craft. This will be the blank completely for the entire torso of the snowman. Either stick a white sheet on the gray surface of the roll, or use white cardstock. Cut a strip from the cardboard, twist it into a cylinder, fasten it with glue or a stapler. Thus, the central part will be single, smooth and even, and not consisting of separate circles.

Make an orange nose in the form of a cone, it will look like a carrot. Take a circle, make an incision along the radius. Holding with your fingers, twist to get the desired part, glue the ends of the cone. Draw on a white roll round eyes with pupils with a black pen, a wide mouth with red. Now the face is marked on the cylinder.

Lubricate the base of the cone with plenty of glue. Glue the nose to the face.

Cut out blanks from the prepared paper: black skis, a blue stripe and 2 yellow circles for headphones. Gather a few short branches into a bundle, wrap the base with tape. You will get an imitation of a broom, which is usually inserted into the hands of snowmen, who are molded on the street from snow.

Glue a blue strip on the top of the cylinder on the sides. From above, mask the ends of the stripes with yellow circles. Headphones are ready.

Glue the side of the broom using tape or a piece of paper. The figurine seems to be holding it in his hands.

Now put the whole structure on skis. To stick them, use additional pieces of paper or tape.

The little paper snowman is ready. He rushes through the snowdrifts and celebrates the New Year. And you can also entrust him with a letter for Santa Claus, which he will definitely give to the addressee. In winter, we see a snowman in the yard, and we will see another small copy on the shelf after repeating this lesson.

A children's craft in the form of a snowman is made without much effort, so it is perfect for the smallest children. Everyone knows the modeling technique, because the creation of snowmen and snowmen is a favorite activity for all children in winter. There are a lot of snowdrifts on the street in the cold season, and one is drawn to go out into the yard, go sledding, play snowballs. And at home, no one forbids doing interesting work.

In this lesson, we will not only create an interesting figurine, but also decorate it at our discretion, because plasticine allows you to realize any fantasy. After reading this master class, you will not need to look for new ideas for winter creativity, you will definitely like this work.

To create a plasticine snowman craft, prepare:

white plasticine;
black, orange, red, blue, brown plasticine, but in small quantities;
match and toothpick.

Choose a white block from the set. It is he who looks like real snow - the same pliable, easily deformed into clods. But plasticine is not cold at all, it will never melt, even with water it can be moistened. Of course, you won’t be able to play snowballs, but you can do something unusual.

Cut off 2 pieces, leave a little for the limbs (no one forbids making arms and legs for our snowman). Roll 2 balls for the head and torso. These two details will be enough to form the figure.

Stretch the body slightly. Prepare a match for connection. This little detail will not only hold it together, but also make the figure moveable.

Connect the figure's head and body. Use the head of a match to push the eyes on the ball-head. Instead of the usual bucket that children in the yard can put on a snowman's head, make other accessories. Let it be bright headphones.

Blind a thin blue strip, glue it on the head with a semi-arc. Glue red cakes on the sides of the strip. These earbuds are the hottest trend of winter. And they are also very to the face of the snowman.

Fill the eyes squeezed by the match head with black plasticine. Glue on the nose. It can be either a carrot or a wide bright ball. Make a mouth and blush. The cheerful face of the charming snowman is ready, he is smiling at us, and therefore we need to immediately move on to the next steps.

Glue bright red buttons on the front of the body, press them down with the tip of a toothpick. After that, use a toothpick to create a broom. A snowman usually stands at a post in the yard, a broom is inserted into his hands-branches.

Glue a few brown threads from one end of the stick, press down around the circumference with your fingers. Make oblong arms and legs. Better to keep them small. The main part of the craft is the torso and head.

The snowman turned out to be mischievous and festive, bright and noticeable. Insert the broom into his hands and seat him under a small tabletop Christmas tree. The New Year is rushing to visit us, with such a sentry we do not miss the most interesting, we will definitely prepare for the holiday and have fun.

Nature tirelessly fantasizes in winter and sends us dozens, hundreds, thousands of snowflakes from above. Scientists who have studied them under a microscope claim that they are all different. Of course, it’s hard for us to believe this, because snowflakes are so small, so tender, they instantly melt from a light touch or breath.

And we, too, can experiment and create something unique, we don’t even need to look at snowflakes under a microscope for a long time and look for certain distinctive features. We have at our disposal all kinds of materials for creativity: plasticine, paper, threads, felt, beads and much more.

Start with what you understand, with the easiest. Children love plasticine very much, and therefore they will gladly agree to make some kind of craft out of it, especially if it is.

To create a snowflake like the one suggested here, prepare:

plasticine;
stack.

How to make a fancy snowflake

The proposed snowflake is creative, not like the white and blue crafts that have become traditional for us. Why not use brown, it is so similar to chocolate that children love, which will definitely be on New Year's Eve in gifts, on the branches of the Christmas tree, on the festive table.

Is it possible to refuse the sweetest treat? Nevertheless, we can make additional white elements, moreover, we can also time the image on the snowflake to the New Year. For example, it will be a snowman - the middle of a snowflake and fluffy twigs - rays.

From a brown portion of plasticine, make the body of a snowflake. At first it will be a round cake, press it well to a hard surface, smooth it on top. Also show 6 rays using the stack. Press the cake around the circumference in 6 places. It is enough to make light cuts.

Make a very thin white cake, much smaller. Also walk around the edge of the stack. Glue to the center. Add another white cake, dock it with the previous part. This will be the head of the snowman, and first we prepared the torso. The figurine consists of two parts.

Put a Christmas hat on your head. It is not difficult to make it if you have red and green plasticine on hand. Stick an imitation of a bright hat with a green border on your head. Add bubo.

Now you need to somehow decorate your craft, make the rays of a snowflake. Glue small pellets along the edge of the torso cake, pierce each with a sharp stick. Glue a branch of white thin plasticine threads on each ray. Make an imitation of spruce needles using a stack.

Glue spruce branches along each ray. The more magnificent the design, the better. Complete the snowman with a bright scarf so that it does not freeze at night, decorate with buttons. Glue black eyes and a nose in the form of a carrot. The figure looks elegant and wintery.

An interesting plasticine snowflake is ready. According to the same scenario, it is easy to perform other crafts that are bright and stand out against the general background; you can depict on them not only snowmen, but also Santa Claus, the Snow Maiden, a Christmas tree, a deer and other festive images.

DIY snowman "Skier"

How to make a snowman out of felt

In this master class, I propose to sew an interesting felt toy for the new year with my own hands.

To sew a New Year's toy, we need:

soft felt (blue or blue, white, a little red for the spout);
floss threads in blue or blue;
two buttons;
filler for a snowman (synthetic winterizer, holofiber);
beads or beads for eyes;
lace.

We draw three circles with a diameter of 5 cm, 4 cm and 3 cm with a compass. We cut out two circles according to these patterns, one of which has a small square at the top, in order to make it convenient to sew the circles to each other.

We take two large circles and sew them together, gradually filling them with filler.

We put two more circles on top, which are slightly smaller and sew them together as well, filling them with filler.

We do the same with the third circle.

Cut out a strip of blue felt for a scarf 1 cm wide and a snowman long.

We attach a scarf to the snowman and sew a button in the middle of the scarf.

Sew another button between the bottom circles.

At the edge of the scarf, you can make small cuts with scissors.

Cut out a small triangle of red felt for the nose and sew to the face.

Sew on small beads for the eyes.

For handles, cut out small circles about 1 cm in diameter and sew.

Cut out two squares 1 cm by 1 cm for boots.

We cut the edges of the squares so that we get triangles and sew them to the snowman.

At the top of the snowman, we cut a hole with a ripper to thread the cord.

Thread a string through the hole.

The snowman is ready, it remains only to hang it on the Christmas tree or give it to someone as a souvenir.

How to tie the application "Snowman"

No New Year is complete without a snowman. And in this master class we will knit a flat appliqué in the form of this wizard! The product can be hung at home or at the workplace so that it reminds of the upcoming holiday and evokes a cheerful mood.

For knitting such an application, we need:

Yarn of red, white, black and peach (beige) colors;
Hook 1, 75 mm;
Scissors.

For applique, it is better to take a thin yarn. Suitable yarn "Children's novelty". The hook is better to use no more than 2 mm.

Let's start knitting with peach-colored yarn, as we will first knit the face for Santa Claus.

We form a ring of 6 loops, but do not close it.

We make 1 lifting loop and unfold the knitting. Next, we will knit in each loop 2 stbn.

Then again we make 1 lifting loop and knit with an increase through 1 loop.

We turn around and make 3 lifting loops. Then we knit 4 more sts at the same point. In the next loop we make 1 stbn. We skip 1 loop and in a new one we perform 5 sts.

So we will continue knitting to the end.

The beard was tied, now let's start making the hat.

For this we need red yarn.

We join from above in a peach loop from one edge and knit along peach loops. We simply do 1 stbn.

Gradually, the cap will narrow. In order for the edges to be even, we will make the strapping stbn.

Embroider eyes with black thread, and embroider nose with peach thread.

Now take the white thread again and make a few horizontal stitches under the nose. And we will perform 1 vertical stitch in the center of the horizontal ones.

The hat is ready, but you can decorate it with a voluminous pompom.

To do this, we attach the thread to the topmost central loop on the cap. We collect 10 in. Next, we join with a white thread in the last ch. We will now knit a magnificent column of 5 crochets. But we do not knit the yarns all at once, but 2 loops each. At the end we will knit 1 ss.

So we knitted a pompom for a hat. We tighten the thread and cut it off. We hide all the ponytails between the loops on the left side of the application.

The winter holidays are coming soon, and it's time to pick up master classes by which you can make a snowman with your own hands for the New Year 2018 for kindergarten or school - from paper, from thread, from cotton pads, from socks and from other improvised materials.

Winter and New Year are all that children are looking forward to. For kids, a festive tree, gifts, fluffy snow, winter fun, snowmen and snowballs are the most desired winter entertainment. And we offer you to learn how to make a snowman with your own hands for the New Year. A wonderful snow handsome man can be made from the materials that are at home, together with a child, and decorate a room, a Christmas tree, or for handicraft competitions in a kindergarten or school.

In order to create an adorable snowman with your own hands for the New Year from socks, there are several ways. All of them are based on the fact that a part of any sock is fastened on one side and the filler is stuffed into the sock. And after the sock you need to drag in the middle, tie on top and decorate.

The article will provide several variations with tips and descriptions to make the creative process more fun and fruitful. We will try to make funny snowmen from various materials, from everything that can be found at home:

socks
plastic cups;
paper;
disks;
thread.

Let's start! The first master class is dedicated to a snowman made of simple socks.

Snowman from socks

In order to make yourself such a handsome man you need:

Socks. You need to take white ones for the body of the snowman and you can take colored ones for the cap and clothes.
Threads with a needle.
Glue gun.
Paints and brush.
Beads.
Felt.
Sintepon.
Scissors.

And now look at a few collections of photos with step-by-step instructions for a snowman with your own hands for the New Year:

You can decorate a snowman from socks to your taste, not at all like in the photo. Here you can reap the will of imagination and use any material that you find at home.

Video tutorial on making snowmen:

We use threads

Next, we will describe two options for how to make a snowman with your own hands for the New Year from threads. One of them is quite simple. This is a pom-pom snowman that can be made for a school or kindergarten competition. For it we need:

white threads. Here it is better to take acrylic or wool mixture;
half beads for eyes and decorations;
ribbon or decorative braid;
fluffy wire. It is sold in any needlework store;
twigs for pens;
glue. You can use a hot glue gun or Moment Crystal instant glue.

Now let's start creating a fluffy snowman:

Initially, you need to make 2 pom-poms from threads. To do this, take 2 cartons. One is wider, the other is a little narrower, since we need to make one large pompom, the other is smaller. On these cartons you need to wind the threads as much as possible. The splendor of the pompom depends on the number of threads. After we stretch the thread inside the wound threads, we tie it from one end, and cut the other. We get two pompoms for the lower part and the upper part of the snowman.
Now you need to tie both pom-poms together by the tails of the threads.
Our snowman is ready. It remains to glue his eyes and nose, buttons and twigs on the sides of the handle.
We tie a ribbon scarf to the snowman. Before this, the edges of the tape must be cut in a special way. To do this, fold the ribbon along and cut it obliquely from the middle to the tip, unfold the ribbon, lightly burn the edges with a lighter.
Now we make headphones from fluffy wire. Let's bend it as shown in the picture and put it on the snowman's head.

Step by step photos of making Christmas snowmen

white threads. This snowman needs cotton for knitting;
PVA glue;
air balloons;
twigs for pens;
buttons for eyes and for decoration;
paper or felt for a hat;
a piece of fabric for a scarf;
hot glue.

When everything is ready, we begin to make an openwork thread snowman:

Inflate two balloons. We make one big, the second smaller.
Pour PVA glue into a bowl and soak the threads there.
After that, we immediately begin to wind the threads in glue on the ball in random order, randomly.
When both balls are wrapped with threads, leave them to dry. It is better to leave the balls overnight.
When the threads dry, you need to burst the balls and carefully pull them out.
Now we glue both balls, a small one on top of a large one.
At the bottom of the large ball, cut off the rounded part with scissors so that the snowman stands steadily.
We glue the handles from the twigs to the snowman.
We cut out the hat, glue its details and put the snowman on the top of the head, fixing it with glue.
Now we need to stick buttons in the form of an eye and on the body of a snowman, for decoration.
We make a carrot out of paper or felt, glue it in place of the spout.
We make a scarf from a piece of fabric and tie it to a snowman.

It should be noted that the process is quite laborious, since you need to carefully craft the balls themselves from threads in glue, but when this stage is completed and the balls have dried, only pleasant work remains that you can do with the kids.

Such a do-it-yourself snowman for the New Year 2018 will be very good for an exhibition or decoration for a kindergarten or school group.

Original paper ideas

Crafting from paper is a very simple and surprisingly pleasant experience. Toddlers love this kind of art. For the New Year, you can make a snowman out of paper with your own hands. Below are several options for ideas with a step-by-step description of their implementation. Let's see how you can make amazing snowmen out of plain paper or paper napkins.

Snowman from the palms for the school competition

white, blue, orange paper;
pencil;
scissors;
glue.

Let's get to work:

On white paper, you need to circle the palms and cut them out. Such palms need to be made as much as possible.
Cut out a cap from blue paper - a triangle and three snowflakes for buttons.
Now glue the palms. You need to make 3 circles from them: 1 large, 1 smaller and small.
Glue all three circles together.
Now we glue on top of the cap and snowflakes in place of the buttons.
The nose, eyes and smile can be cut out of colored paper and glued, or you can draw with paints or felt-tip pens.

The snowman from the palms is ready. It can be attached to the wall of a child's room or to a kindergarten group.

Snowman from paper napkins

Let's prepare everything we need:

white paper napkins;
pencil;
scissors;
glue gun;
three foam balls of different sizes;
skewers or toothpicks to connect the balls together;
buttons for eyes;
felt or paper orange cone for the spout;
twigs for pens.

Let's start crafting:

Napkins need to be cut into squares.
At the largest ball, cut off the bottom so that the bottom is flat for stability.
Now we cover each ball with napkins. We will glue using the facing technique. To do this, we wind the square of the napkin onto the back end of a pencil or any wooden stick. Dip in PVA glue and apply to the ball. So we glue all the balls. We glue all the elements close to each other, so the balls will turn out more fluffy.
Then glue the balls one on top of the other.
We fasten the branches - handles and eyes with a spout.

The snowman made of paper napkins is ready. You can decorate it to your liking, put on a scarf or a hat.

Applications with snowmen

Surprisingly, but the application can be made not from paper. The following is a step-by-step master class on how to make a snowman with your own hands for the New Year from cotton pads, which you can send to a competition at school or kindergarten. This will be a beautiful New Year's application. The child will do it with pleasure, but under the control of the parents.

To tell the baby the procedure, let's take a closer look at how to do it. Let's get ready first:

cotton pads. From them we will make a snowman and snowdrifts;
thick cardboard for the base. It can be any color. Blue, blue or purple will be very good;
glue. You can use PVA or any other for paper;
colored paper;
scissors.

And now we start:

On cardboard - the base we glue a snowman from three or two cotton pads. Just glue the discs one on top of the other. Such snowmen can be made one or two on one cardboard.
Now you need to paint the snowman. From colored paper, cut out the cap, eyes and nose. Cut out a scarf and handles with mittens. We glue all the details on the snowman.
We will also glue snowdrifts from halves of cotton pads on the panel from the snowmen. You can cut out the rectangles of the houses and glue them on the sides by drawing windows with a felt-tip pen.

The child can dream up and come up with how to complement the application. It can be the sun, clouds, and so on.

In addition, you can make a wonderful toy from cotton pads. It can be hung on the Christmas tree or decorated with a Christmas wreath, walls and so on. Getting ready for work:

cotton pads;
thread with a needle;
a little synthetic winterizer;
felt;
a pair of beads for the eye;
glue. It is better to use a second Moment Crystal.

Now let's get started:

Take 2 discs for the bottom and 2 for the top. Those for the top will be cut a little in a circle, making them smaller in diameter.
Now you need to sew the parts together with a seam over the edge. But let's leave a little open edge for stuffing and stitching them together.
Fill both parts with synthetic winterizer.
Let's put them together one to one where there is an unsewn gap and sew.
Now we decorate. We cut out a cap from felt and sew it to the snowman on top of the head with the same seam.
Next, glue the beads - eyes. Cut out a triangle of orange felt and glue it instead of the spout.
From the felt we cut out a strip - a scarf and tie it to the snowman.
You can make a decor by cutting out leaves and berries from colored felt and sticking them on a snowman.

Such a handsome man can be hung on a Christmas tree by attaching a string to it or used to decorate a wreath or for other purposes.

Plastic cups - turn them into a snowman

And now we will make a snowman with our own hands for the New Year 2018 from cups, ordinary plastic disposable cups.

Such a snowman, made by hand, will turn out to be quite large. They can decorate an apartment, a group in a kindergarten, a class at school. You can put a garland inside and then the snowman will glow. But about everything in detail and in order.

Let's get everything ready for work:

Plastic cups. For one snowman, we need as many cups as you need a snowman. For a big snowman, you need quite a lot. The first row alone will take 25 cups.
Stapler and staples for connecting cups.
You can take a real hat and scarf and then dress up the figure.
For the peephole, you can take balls that are equal in size to the neck of the glass. We will paint them black and close them in the cup itself in the right places.
We glue the nose from orange felt into a cone in the form of a carrot.
We also need a glue gun.

Let's get started:

Lay out the first row like this. We put the cups in a circle with the bottom inside and the neck out. We fasten the glasses with a stapler to each other. So we do several rows, each subsequent one turns out to be smaller than the previous one, since we put the glasses between those that go in the previous row.
Now we make the head. The first row for the ball under the head consists of 18 cups. We do everything exactly the same.
After we build the head to the body with a stapler.
Now insert the balls - eyes. We will paint them black in advance and fix them with glue.
Then we attach the nose.
We tie a scarf and put on a cap on top. For reliability, fix with glue.
You can put a garland inside or leave the snowman like that.

The snowman can be decorated to your liking. You can attach twigs to him as handles and “give” a whisk in his hands. You can attach a wide felt strap to the snowman or a real one if there is a suitable size. Attach it with a stapler.

You can make buttons from exactly the same balls by attaching them to the neck of the cup in suitable places. Or cut out snowflakes from colored paper and stick to the snowman anywhere, as if real snow fluffs lay on top of our handsome man.

Such a snowman can be made for a competition in school or kindergarten!

Another wonderful snowman that you can make with your own hands for the New Year is presented in the video below:

What New Year is complete without souvenirs and toys? It's nice to buy them, give them, decorate your house with them, and even more pleasant to make them yourself. We already know many ways to create a Christmas tree with our own hands, we know how to make Christmas tree cones and sew New Year's boots, and today we will learn more about how snowmen are made with our own hands!

Before you make a snowman with your own hands, stock up on materials (the size of the finished snowmen is 25 cm):

White terry cloth
Light green or green terry cloth
Fleece in any color
Holofiber or other filler
black beads
glue
Threads
Needle
Pins

We sew a snowman

snowman body

Do-it-yourself fabric snowman is made from three balls of different diameters.

In turn, each ball is made of six wedges. To do this, take a white terry cloth and fold it in half. Next, we outline the wedges in such a way that we get three parts of each size. There must be a small distance between the parts.

The size of the wedges is determined diagonally and is equal to:

10.5 cm
8.5 cm
7.5 cm

We add three parts of each size, fasten with pins and sew on a typewriter.

We twist and stuff them with holofiber. We get beautiful round balls for making snowmen with our own hands.

We sew a spout

We turn to the manufacture of the nose. It is made from orange fabric. To do this, it must be folded in half and outline a triangle, then sewn on a typewriter or manually, turned out and stuffed with filler.

With a hidden seam, the nose is attached to the snowman's head.

Sew on the eyes

Making arms and legs

The legs and arms of the snowman are made from white terry cloth using a paper template.

We sew, turn inside out, fill with filler, sew up the hole with a blind seam.

snowman handles

snowman legs

In order to attach arms to the body of a snowman, we use a thread method.

The snowman is ready!

snowman clothes

We sew a hat

Let's dress up our snowman in a hat, which is made of fleece. To do this, a rectangle measuring 21 * 15 centimeters is cut out, folded in half and sewn.
