Our body is used to living according to the natural calendar. In spring, we want to quickly go out into nature to admire the first leaves and flowers. In summer - sunbathing and swimming. And by mid-November, when snow is already falling in our latitudes, sculpt the first snowmen with the children. But this year the material for their manufacture is something late. But we will not expect favors from nature. And let's take an old mitten, a pair from which was lost a long time ago, and make such a funny snowman out of it.

We will need:

1. Mitten
2. Scissors
3. Any filler
4. Small piece of white cloth
5. wooden stick
6. Dense threads in the tone of mittens, sewing threads
7. Needle
8. Buttons (I have curly ones in the form of snowflakes, but they can also be simple round ones)
9. Black marker, red pencil
10. Any things for decorating a snowman (I have a cup and a broom)

How to do:

1. Mentally divide the mitten into three equal parts. Sew on buttons in the middle of the first two.

2. Fill tightly with filler lower part, tightly bandage it with dense threads. We fill the second part, not forgetting about the finger-hand, we also tightly tie it with threads.

3. We make the snowman's head. To do this, cut out a square from white fabric. The dimensions of the sides are up to you, because the head should turn out to be proportionate to the two previous parts. We put the fabric on the palm of our hand and stuff it tightly with filler. We squeeze, making a ball, and tightly tie it at the base with dense threads. We cut off the excess fabric, insert a wooden stick into the ball, fasten the head to it with snowmen with dense threads.

4. We insert the other end of the stick into the body of the snowman, from the free part of the mitten we make a hood for him, put it on the head of the snowman. By the way, you can make a voluminous collar from the same part, and knit or sew a hat for a snowman. It's up to you.

5. With a felt-tip pen, draw the snowman's eyes, cilia, nose and mouth. With a red pencil, slightly blush the cheeks.

I gave my snowman a cup and a broom. What will be in your hands?

DIY snowman from socks (photo)

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 will probably 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 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 detailed master class, please 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. We take the usual air balloons. 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 take paper and think about what can be done with it. And then immediately there are a great many ideas!

We will do several options. And first of all I want to show you this voluminous crafts. 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. By dotted lines bend is made. 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 glued corrugated paper, colored sheets or cloth.

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!
