Snowman made from scrap materials. How to make a snowman with your own hands: master class

What New Year would be complete without souvenirs and toys? It’s nice to buy them, give them as a gift, decorate your home with them, and even more nice 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 decorations and sew New Year's boots, and today we will also learn how to make snowmen with our own hands!

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

  • White terry cloth
  • Light green or green terry cloth
  • Fleece of any colors
  • Holofiber or other filler
  • Black beads
  • Glue
  • Threads
  • With a needle
  • With pins

Sew a snowman

Snowman body

A DIY fabric snowman is made from three balls of different diameters.

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

The size of the wedges is determined diagonally and equals:

  • 10.5 cm
  • 8.5 cm
  • 7.5 cm

We fold three pieces of each size, fasten them with pins and sew them on a machine.

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

Sew a nose

Let's move on to making the nose. It is made from orange fabric. To do this, you need to fold it in half and outline a triangle, then sew it on a machine or by hand, turn it inside out and stuff it with filling.

The nose is attached to the snowman's head with a hidden seam.

Sew on the eyes

Making arms and legs

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

We stitch it, turn it inside out, stuff it with stuffing, sew up the hole with a blind stitch.

Snowman legs

In order to attach the arms to the snowman's body, we use the thread method.

The snowman himself is ready!

Clothes for a snowman

Sew a hat

Let's dress up our snowman in a hat made from fleece. To do this, cut out a rectangle measuring 21*15 centimeters, fold it in half and stitch it.

On one side of the workpiece, cut off the edge with scissors in a zig-zag shape:

And on the other hand, using the same scissors, we cut strips in the form of a fringe.

We put the hat on the snowman, tucking it at the base of the head. We collect the fringe on the top of the head into a bun and tie it with a small piece of fleece.

We glue the edges of the cap.

Making a scarf

We tie it on the snowman and start making mittens.

Snowman mittens

To do this, take a strip of fleece again, fold it in half, stitch it and turn it inside out. We make the cut along the edge with a zig-zag.

Christmas tree made of fabric

The final stage is to make a Christmas tree from light green terry cloth. To do this, we outline a triangle measuring 17*16 centimeters.

Fold it in half and stitch it, not forgetting to leave a hole for the filling.

Time goes by very quickly and, despite the fact that there is no smell of snow now, the winter months will not take long to arrive! New Year 2020 is coming soon, the symbol of which is the White Rat. Pragmatic people prepare for everything in advance, maybe we should learn this too, so that the holiday does not take us by surprise. By the New Year, stores begin selling a variety of toys. But to decorate your home for the holiday, you can not only buy ready-made accessories, but also make them yourself. A DIY snowman is an original toy that makes the atmosphere festive.

Cool snowman made of metal caps

With a snowman made from plastic bottles, we seem to have told you everything, and now your husband’s task is to collect a small amount of metal caps from beer or lemonade.

  4. Now our fairy-tale character has come to life, smiling cheerfully and cheerfully at us, but to complete the picture, a red scarf made of soft yarn for knitting is not enough. We cut off a small part of the threads and tie it around the neck of the snow hero to your taste.

  • socks;
  • plastic cups;
  • paper;
  • disks;
  • thread

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

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 snowman made from pompoms, which can be made for a competition for school or kindergarten. 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 at any craft 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:

  1. Initially you need to make 2 pompoms from threads. To do this, take 2 cardboards. One is wider, the other is a little narrower, since we need to make one large pom-pom, the other smaller. You need to wrap as much thread as possible on these cardboards. The pomp of the pompom depends on the number of threads. Then we pull the thread inside the wound threads, tie it at one end and cut it at the other. We get two pompoms for the bottom and top of the snowman.
  2. Now you need to tie both pompoms together using the tails of the threads.
  3. Our snowman is ready. All that remains is to glue on his eyes and nose, buttons and branches on the sides of the handle.
  4. 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 tape lengthwise and cut it diagonally from the middle to the tip, unfold the tape, and lightly scorch the edges with a lighter.
  5. 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 New Year's snowmen

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

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

  1. Inflate two balloons. We make one large, the second smaller.
  2. Pour PVA glue into a bowl and soak the threads there.
  3. After that, we immediately begin to wind the threads in glue onto the ball in a random order, chaotically.
  4. When both balls are wrapped with thread, leave them to dry. It's better to leave the balls overnight.
  5. When the threads are dry, you need to burst the balls and carefully pull them out.
  6. Now we glue both balls, the small one on top of the large one.
  7. At the bottom of the large ball, cut off the rounded part with scissors so that the snowman stands steadily.
  8. Glue handles from twigs to the snowman.
  9. We cut out the hat, glue its parts and put it on the top of the snowman’s head, securing it with glue.
  10. Now we need to glue buttons in the form of eyes onto the snowman’s body for decoration.
  11. We make a carrot out of paper or felt and glue it in place of the spout.
  12. We make a scarf from a piece of fabric and tie it to the snowman.

It should be noted that the process is quite labor-intensive, since you need to carefully make the balls themselves from threads in glue, but when this stage is completed and the balls have dried, all that remains is a pleasant job that you can do together with the kids.

Such a snowman, made with your own hands for the New Year 2018, will be very good for an exhibition or decoration for a kindergarten or school group.

Original ideas made from paper

Paper crafting is a very simple and surprisingly enjoyable activity. Kids really love this type of creativity. 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 from plain paper or paper napkins.

Snowman made from palms for a school competition

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

Let's get started:

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

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

Snowman made 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 for connecting the balls together;
  • buttons for eyes;
  • felt or paper orange cone for the spout;
  • twigs for pens.

Let's start tinkering:

  1. Napkins need to be cut into squares.
  2. Cut off the bottom of the largest ball so that the bottom is flat for stability.
  3. Now we cover each ball with napkins. We will glue using the trimming technique. To do this, twist a square of napkin onto the other end of a pencil or any wooden stick. Dip it into PVA glue and apply it to the ball. So we cover all the balls. Glue all the elements close to each other, so the balls will turn out fluffier.
  4. Then glue the balls one on top of the other.
  5. We attach the branches - arms and eyes with a nose.

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

Applications with snowmen

Surprisingly, applique can be made not from paper. Below 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 applique. The child himself will be happy to do it, but under the supervision of his parents.

To tell your child what to do, let’s take a closer look at how to do this. Let's get ready first:

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

Now let's begin:

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

The child can dream up his own imagination and come up with something to add to the applique. It could be the sun, clouds, and so on.

In addition, cotton pads can be used to make an excellent toy. You can hang it on the Christmas tree or decorate it with a Christmas wreath, walls and so on. Let's get ready for work:

  • cotton pads;
  • threads with a needle;
  • a little padding polyester;
  • felt;
  • a pair of beads for eyes;
  • glue. It is better to use a second Crystal Moment.

Now let's get started:

  1. Let's take 2 disks for the lower part and 2 for the upper. We will cut the ones for the top a little in a circle, making them smaller in diameter.
  2. Now you need to sew the parts together with a seam over the edge. But let's leave a little unstitched edge for filling and sewing them together.
  3. Let's fill both parts with padding polyester.
  4. Let's put them together one on one where there is an unsewn gap and sew them up.
  5. Now let's decorate. We cut out a cap from felt and sew it to the snowman on the top of the head using the same seam.
  6. Next we will glue the beads - eyes. Cut out a triangle of orange felt and glue it in place of the spout.
  7. We will cut out a strip of felt - a scarf and tie it to the snowman.
  8. You can make decorations by cutting out leaves and berries from colored felt and sticking them on the snowman.

This beauty 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

Now let’s make a snowman with our own hands for the New Year 2018 from cups, ordinary plastic disposable cups.

This DIY snowman will turn out to be quite large. They can decorate an apartment, a group in a kindergarten, a classroom at school. You can place a garland inside and then the snowman will glow. But let's talk about everything in detail and in order.

Let's prepare everything for work:

  1. Plastic cups. For one snowman we need as many cups as large as you need the snowman. For a big snowman you need quite a lot. The first row alone will take 25 cups.
  2. Stapler and staples for connecting cups.
  3. You can take a real hat and scarf and then dress up the figurine.
  4. For the eyes, you can take balls equal in size to the neck of the glass. We'll paint them black and put them in the cup itself in the right places.
  5. Glue the nose into a carrot-shaped cone from orange felt.
  6. We will also need a glue gun.

Let's get started:

  1. Lay out the first row like this. Place the cups in a circle with the bottom inward and the neck outward. We fasten the glasses together with a stapler. We make several rows in this way, each subsequent one is smaller than the previous one, since we place the glasses between those in the previous row.
  2. Now let's make the head. The first row for the ball under the head consists of 18 cups. We do everything exactly the same.
  3. Then we attach the head to the body with a stapler.
  4. Now we insert the balls - eyes. We will first paint them black and attach them with glue.
  5. Then we attach the spout.
  6. We tie a scarf and put a cap on top. For reliability, secure with glue.
  7. You can place 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 broom in his hands. You can attach a wide felt strap to the snowman, or a real one if you can find the right size. Attach it with a stapler.

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

You can make such a snowman for a competition for school or kindergarten!
