How to make a snowman for the New Year with your own hands

No special skills and special materials are required to make snowmen for the New Year with your own hands from old children's hats or socks, as well as from balloons and threads. With a little effort and time, the crafts will be ready.

Snowman made of baby hats or socks: step by step instructions

For work you will need:

• 2 old baby hats or 1 white sock and 1 multi-colored, striped or other patterned sock;
• threads;
• buttons for decoration;
• two black beads for the eyes of a snowman;
• lead from an orange pencil;

• rice for stuffing toys (you can use foam rubber or cotton wool instead)

  

  It is better to fill the blank of socks with rice

• scissors.

Manufacturing procedure:

1. Cut off the upper part of the white sock and tie it on one side with a thread. A thin elastic band can be used for this purpose.

   

   The base of the snowman is a blank from a white sock

2. Fill the workpiece with groats and tie the other end with a thread
3. Cut the second toe into three parts - the toe, middle and upper part with the heel.

4. Take the middle (this will be the snowman's clothes) and pull it over the workpiece.

   

   A colored sock is used for the clothes of the future snowman, so you can choose any bright colors

5. Separate the upper third of the workpiece from the lower part with a thread so as to form a snowman.

   

   To form a snowman, the workpiece is tied with a thread across

6. Sew on beads and buttons, insert the lead from the pencil in the place where the nose should be.

7. Put the sock of the second sock (colored) on the snowman's head. This is his hat.

   

   Buttons, beads and other decorations are used for decoration.

Snowman made of balloons and yarn: step by step instructions

For work, you need to prepare:

• 2 balloons of different sizes;

  

  For the snowman, take two balloons of different sizes

• threads (thin or medium yarn);
• cardboard or colored paper;
• PVA glue;
• ball lancing needle and scissors;
• hand cream.

Operating procedure:

1. Lubricate the balloons with petroleum jelly or greasy hand cream. This is necessary to maintain the shape of the workpiece (the threads can stick to the surface of the ball, and when pierced, change the shape of the workpiece).

2. Wind the yarn around the balls, creating any pattern. The main thing is that the winding is uniform. The thinner your threads, the denser you need to make the "ball".

   

   Before winding the thread, the surface of the balls is washed off with cream or moss

3. Gently saturate the threads with PVA glue.
4. Leave the blanks until the glue is completely dry.

5. Make eyes and nose out of paper, cut out buttons and mouth. The nose is good with red or orange paper (cardboard), rolled up in a cone.

   

   A snowman nose is made of paper or cardboard.

6. The legs for the snowman are also cut out of white cardboard.

   

   The easiest way to make a snowman's legs is to cut out of white cardboard

7. After the glue dries, carefully pierce the balls with a needle, being careful not to spoil the workpieces.

   

   The rest of the balls must be removed very carefully, since the thread blanks are very fragile

8. Remove the rest of the balls.
9. Glue eyes, nose, buttons, legs on thread blanks

10. Glue the blanks so that you get a snowman.

    

    Buttons, face, legs are glued to the snowman's thread blanks

11. Now you can carefully put on a light hat and a scarf. By the way, you can not only put such an air snowman, but also hang it.

Choose an interesting idea and start such a pleasant creation. Quite a bit of time, a little imagination and available materials are all you need to make your own New Year's snowmen.
