If you know how to make a snowman, then you can make it with the children, and they will take creative work to kindergarten or school. This attribute of winter and the New Year is created from various materials, from unnecessary things.


To make such a funny character, you can use socks that are out of fashion, or that have become small for your child. For work you will need:
  • light sock;
  • colored sock;
  • synthetic winterizer;
  • rubber bands;
  • yarn white color;
  • buttons;
  • needle with thread.
The size of the socks depends on what size you want the snowman toy to be. You can use small or large. Take a sock, fill its bottom 3 cm with rice.

The white grain is not visible through the fabric. Such a filler will help the structure to be stable. If you do not have rice, and the sock is dense, you can pour another light cereal into it, for example, millet.


Place a padding polyester over the cereal, thus filling the sock to the heel. Make small balls on the right and left by pulling the sock with pieces of padding polyester with an elastic band - you get blanks for handles. Just above this place, in the middle, also tie the sock with an elastic band. This is the throat of a snowman from a sock. Now we need to make his head. To do this, fill part of the sock with padding polyester above the neck, round it, tie it with an elastic band on top.


Shows how to make a snowman with your own hands photo above. Looking at it, you will understand that at this stage you need to replace the elastic bands with white yarn.

Next, we make a hat for a funny character. A colorful sock will do for her. Put it on the head of this helper of Santa Claus and tie it on the back of the head with a thin elastic band. The length of the hat can be any, cut off the excess, tie yarn instead of an elastic band. Customize the tip of the cap to your liking by notching its edge, or leave it as it is.

Now let's start creating the face. Buttons of blue color will serve as eyes, and brown - as a nose. Sew crafts on his stomach with three black buttons, make a scarf with fluffy ends from the scraps of the sock and hang it around the snowman's neck.

The next craft is no less interesting - the idea will tell you what use can be made for used plastic cups. If you have a lot of them, then you get a big snowman. It can be placed in the office, on the street, next to any institution. It will decorate the building and attract the attention of passers-by.

DIY snowman from plastic cups


For this craft, in addition to empty containers, you will need a stapler. For decoration you will need:
  • carrot;
  • colored paper;
  • cardboard;
  • textile.
Start by making the top ball. To do this, fasten the cups together with a stapler, applying them exactly to each other, with the bottom in one direction. Soon they themselves will take the desired shape of a circle. In the same way, you will make the second half of the snowman. The top ball should be smaller than the bottom one.


Both of these figures are circles, you don’t need to finish it to the end, the bottom must remain free so that the snowman from plastic cups was stable.


Connect his head to his body with a stapler, tie this place with a scarf from corrugated paper. From it, or from ordinary colored paper, you will make buttons, the eyes of a figurine. For the nose, you can put a carrot in a glass, cutting a circle of small diameter in it, as shown in the photo, or make it out of cardboard.


How to make a cylinder headdress is also seen in the figure. Cut out a rectangle and a circle from cardboard. The length of the longest side of the rectangle should be equal to the diameter of the circle. You will also need a rim for the cylinder, in the figure it is numbered 3. Cut out blanks from colored or white cardboard, painting them in the desired color. You can cut the same blanks on fabric, cut them out and stick them on cardboard. Now all the details need to be glued, as shown in the figure, and you can put the cylinder on the head of the New Year's snowman, created by yourself.

There are many ideas for such creativity. As a result of the implementation of the next one, the craft will turn out to be openwork and airy. In this technique, you can make a new lampshade for the lamp.

In addition to the materials listed, you will need:

  • 5 balloons of different sizes, for the body - large, for the head - less, for the handles - even smaller;
  • white threads;
  • PVA glue;
  • brush;
  • for the eyes 2 black buttons;
  • a little orange for the nose polymer clay;
  • big needle.
The exciting process begins with inflating balloons. You can involve the whole family in this. Now you need to wrap each ball with thread. To prevent the balls from bursting, this is done carefully, without pulling the threads too much.


Now generously grease the windings of the balls with PVA glue. It should cover all sections of the thread well. Hang the balloons by the ropes with which they are tied up at the top, let them dry well. To do this, it is better to leave the blanks for the night, then your morning will start very fun, because now you need to burst all the balls with a needle. After that, take them out through the holes between the threads.

Now put the largest workpiece on the floor or on some kind of base. Attach a slightly smaller ball to this large ball, and on top - the head of a snowman made of thread. Glue its handles in the same way and let the blanks dry.

There are finishing touches left. A beautiful nose is made from polymer clay or cardboard. For the latter, it is cut out in the shape of a triangle, then one side is laid over the other and the junction is glued together. Sew the button eyes in place, make a headdress, as in the previous case, and the snowman from the threads is ready.

To make a polymer clay nose durable, mold it in the shape of a carrot, and then put it in boiling water for 8-10 minutes. Then the workpiece will become hard and at first glance it will be difficult to distinguish it from a real carrot.

knitted snowman

You can decorate a sweater, potholder, decorative pillow with such a figure. How such knitted snowmen are created schemes clearly demonstrate. This one shows that you will need threads of eight colors.


Color by number:
  1. - white;
  2. - yellow;
  3. - violet;
  4. - red;
  5. - blue;
  6. - sea wave;
  7. - blue;
  8. - green.
If you do not have a yarn of a certain shade, you can replace it with another one. So, a hat, scarf, character's legs can be of a different color.

Such a knitted snowman is made using the technique of the front surface. That is, on the front side you will knit with front loops, and on the back - with purl loops.

To change the color to another, twist the thread of the desired shade with the one with which you finished knitting the last loop. Then the junction of different yarns will be imperceptible, and done neatly.


A knitted snowman with knitting needles is created from the first loop of the bottom row. In the diagram, this is the lower right corner. As you can see in the figure, 10 loops are knitted from right to left until the number 20, and then another 7 loops with a blue thread. Next, the snowman's leg begins. Twist yellow with blue thread, knit yellow 6 facial loops. To the end of the row, also knit facial, but with blue yarn.


Turn the work inside out, knit 39 loops with blue yarn, then 8 with yellow yarn and the remaining 16 with blue yarn. In the same way, focusing on the snowman knitting pattern, create the entire canvas. It consists of 92 rows, and 60 loops are used horizontally. In diagram 1, a cell is one loop.

When you need to finish knitting a piece of a certain color, cut and tie the end of the thread so that it does not unravel. Threads, when alternating colors, you should have on the wrong side.

To make the drawing look good, after completing the work, put the connected snowman on the front side, wet gauze or cloth on it and iron it with an iron. If your knitwear uses a ribbing pattern, it does not need to be ironed or it will stretch.

Snowman for kindergarten from a plastic yogurt bottle

If your beloved child was asked to make such a New Year's attribute, use improvised materials for this. Even Small child will be able to make a toy using an empty container from under the "Rastishka".

  • green corrugated paper;
  • glue stick;
  • scissors;
  • soldering iron;
  • a piece of red plasticine or cardboard of the same color.
Remove the label from the bottle. Fold a rectangular sheet of paper to make a narrow strip, start wrapping it around the neck of the bottle, remembering to shape the neck. So you will simultaneously close the hole and make a hat for the snowman with your own hands.

Now make a hole in the bottle with a soldering iron. If you are creating a craft with a child, take on this part of the work. And let the baby roll a piece of plasticine between the palms in the form of a snowman's nose. Attach it to the resulting hole, you can use it for the nose and a folded piece of colored paper, cardboard.

Cotton snowmen

Cotton wool is a material that looks very similar to snow in its lightness and whiteness. It is not surprising that a lot of handicrafts are made from a lot. In order for the snowman to keep its shape, they prepare a base of foil, plastic bottles, burnt out light bulbs or just lumps of paper, and cotton wool is already glued on top.

Step by step description

Cotton toys carry a special atmosphere. They are very light, pleasant in the hands and do not break. Everything that is required for work can be found in every home. This master class by Svetlana Satina shows how to make a snowman from cotton wool and PVA glue.

Materials:
- cotton wool
- newspaper or magazine
- foil,
- white paper napkins
- threads
- PVA glue,
- brush,
- toothpick,
- awl
- twine thread,
- Red ribbon,
- Acrylic paints or watercolours.

Progress

We roll three balls of different diameters from an old newspaper. We connect them together and fix them tightly with foil.


Zigzag cotton is more suitable for creating toys. It easily splits into strips and is easier to work with. We divide the cotton into strips and wrap them around the snowman, tightly winding them with threads. White threads are more suitable for work, as they are easier to mask with pieces of cotton wool. We try to pull the thread so that it lies in different directions. We increase the cotton mass until the figure of the desired shape and size is obtained.
Keep in mind that wet work awaits us ahead, after which the snowman will add in volume.

The figure in rough outlines is ready, now you can do the details. Dilute PVA glue in half with water to make it more liquid. If such glue was not at hand, it can always be replaced with a paste. By the way, our ancestors worked with him. The only downside of the paste is that after drying it gives yellowness.
Again, we split the cotton into thin pieces and glue the workpiece with them, carefully smearing the cotton with glue. In the process of work, we try to smooth all the layers as tightly as possible so that the toy turns out with a good crust after drying.

While we are working with wet cotton, we smooth it all the time with our fingers, trying to press harder to expel excess air.
From two identical strips of cotton we form handles and glue them to the body. We make a small cotton cone and glue it in place of the nose. With a toothpick we draw a line of the mouth, we outline the eyes with it.

In general terms, the snowman is ready, it's time to send it to dry. It takes several hours, sometimes even a day. Some people dry the figures on a battery to speed up the process, then the shrinkage of the material is less even.
When the toy is completely dry, we begin to form it further. From white paper napkins put on a hat. We fold a dry napkin in a spontaneous way, as if creating a headdress. We coat the impromptu hat with a large amount of glue. We are waiting for the napkin to get completely wet, and make folds on the hat.

To make a scarf, cut the napkin in half, fold it several times in width and apply glue to the inside and smooth it with your finger right on the table. Then we wrap the scarf around the snowman's head, beautifully distributing the folds. If anyone has plain colored napkins on hand, then you can also make clothes for a snowman from them, in the future they will not have to be painted. At this stage, we again send the toy to dry.

How to color a snowman

Our snowman is dry and ready for further action.

To paint the toy, we take yellow acrylic paint, dilute it with PVA glue and apply it to the scarf and hat. While the yellow color dries, paint the nose of the carrot orange. We draw a mouth in red, put black dots in place of the eyes, outline the eyebrows. With the same color, we apply light dashes on carrots, imitating cracks.
Acrylic paint dries quickly and you can start decorating the scarf and headdress. We draw stripes on the scarf in red, put white dots. We collect red paint on a flat brush, lightly wipe it on a napkin and with a dry brush we pass along the top of the hat. In general, the snowman is ready, but something is missing. Among New Year's toys there was a small golden ball that fit well on the snowman's hand.
In this form, the cotton wool snowman has a complete image. If there is no purpose to hang it on a Christmas tree, then the work can be considered finished.


To decorate with a toy New Year's beauty, you need to make a puncture in the upper area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe cap with an awl. We thread a twine cord through the hole with a crochet hook, tie a knot and decorate with a red ribbon.

Now the toy is completely ready. And here he is with a friend.
