How to make a snowman out of a sock with your own hands

White socks are a great blank for a snowman. Mom's or dad's things will turn into a big snowman, and small socks are suitable for making snowmen.

So, we need one white sock, scissors, filler, threads or elastic bands.

1. Cut off a whole sock lower part.
2. We tie one end with an elastic band, and then turn it out.
3. We fill the sock with any cereal. Loose products will make the toy more stable and allow it to be easily shaped.
4. We also tie the second end with an elastic band.
5. With our hands we give the snowman a little elongated shape... And in order to highlight the head and body of the snowman, we tie the workpiece just above the middle. The bottom should be slightly larger and thicker than the top.
6. Now you can make a hat from the rest of the sock. A narrow piece of any fabric will replace a scarf for a snowman.
7. It remains to make the eyes and nose, and glue two or three buttons on the lower part.

To learn more about the master class and learn how to make a snowman out of socks, watch the video.

How to make a snowman out of plastic cups

Snowman from plastic cups it turns out big and charismatic. It can be placed both in the classroom and in the children's room. Just leave more space!

A snowman will require over three hundred plastic cups, a large stapler and glue. Our product will consist of two big balls... Let's start collecting the snowman from the bottom.

1. We fasten in a circle with a large stapler the first row of 25 cups. We connect the cups to each other neatly and evenly.
2. Now, on the resulting circle, put the following cups in turn and connect them with each other and with the previous row. Thus, we finish the first half of the ball. By analogy, we perform the second half.
3. The upper part of the snowman is also performed, but for the first row of the head, 22 cups are already taken. Glue the resulting balls together.
4. We make the eyes and nose.

It remains to come up with a hat for the snowman and choose a suitable scarf.

And the available video tutorial will clearly demonstrate the process of making a snowman from plastic glasses.

How to make a snowman from threads

The next master class will help you learn how to make air snowmen. They are based on balloons, glue and threads.

We choose PVA glue, it has good adhesion and does not leave yellow streaks. We take the threads white any thickness.

1. We inflate the balloons so that one is slightly larger than the other. Let's connect them with scotch tape.
2. Let's prepare an adhesive composition. To do this, pour a little PVA glue into a small container, then add water and mix everything.
3. Soak the threads in glue and start winding in random order, first on one, then on another ball.
4. After drying, you need to pierce both balls and pull out their remnants through the threads.

The result is lace balloons. You can attach a thread or string to them and hang them on the Christmas tree. But we need a snowman made of threads. Therefore, we glue the balls together so that we get a snowman.

It remains to come up with a headdress, a scarf. We glue the drawn eyes or buttons. A carrot nose is made from orange paper rolled into a narrow cone, or plasticine. Ready!

All the intricacies of the master class are shown in our video.

DIY snowman from a light bulb (master class)

Do not rush to throw out old incandescent bulbs. Let's make cute snowmen out of light bulbs that will decorate any Christmas tree. The inside of the lamp can be removed, but this will require careful disassembly. upper part basement. It is up to you whether you will do this painstaking work.

1. The first step is to paint the glass part of the lamp with acrylic paint, for which a sponge is used to evenly apply it on the surface.
2. After the paint has dried, the base is tied with a rope and a loop is glued to hang the toy on the Christmas tree.
3. Eyes, mouth and nose are made using beads or painted with paints, as in the photo.

Light bulbs are a rather fragile thing, so you should not leave children unattended while working with them.

How to make a paper snowman

Paper is the most popular material for children. It gives a lot of possibilities for making various crafts and souvenirs.

How to make DIY Christmas cards with snowmen

Here's how to make a New Year card with a snowman applique.

Prepare a white sheet of thick paper, cardboard, cotton wool and glue.

1. We bend the sheet in half in width and set it aside for now.
2. From white cardboard, you need to cut two touching circles, one slightly larger than the other.
3. We apply a layer of glue to the base of our snowman, and a thin layer of cotton wool on it.
4. Cut off all unnecessary and glue the snowman to the main sheet.
5. We finish his hat, eyes and nose from beads.

And now we turn on the imagination and decorate the postcard at our discretion. And our video will help with this.

DIY Christmas snowman made of paper in 3d

A gift card with a volumetric or so-called 3D application looks interesting. This is achieved by cutting and bending the elements of the postcard.

We need two sheets of paper, and the white one should be 1 cm less than the color one in width and length.

1. Fold a white sheet of paper in half widthwise and make two parallel cuts. This is how we designate the bottom of the snowman.
2. We bend the part obtained from the cuts and direct it inward.
3. We make two smaller cuts on one of the folds. And we also direct the bent part inward.
4. It remains to make the last two small cuts and again bend the small resulting element inward.

Now we open the card, and we get a voluminous snowman inside. We glue the seamy side of the white sheet onto the colored one. More details - in the video.

The main element of such a card is a snowman made of several layers of paper, which give it volume and splendor.

• For the base of the postcard, take a thick sheet of cardboard, you can also two sheets different color... We fold them in half.
• The snowman is performed in two circles. For a fluffy snowman, you need at least 20 circles of each size. Cut them out of white paper and fold each in half.
• We glue one upper and one lower circle completely so that along the fold they coincide with the fold of the base sheet. Apply glue to the remaining circles only along the outer part of the fold, and glue them to the previous circle. And so all the top twenty pieces.
• And then twenty lower ones.
• It remains to decorate the postcard.

Christmas craft: paper snowman - garland

If desired, windows, walls and a Christmas tree can be decorated with a garland of snowmen.

1. We fold a white sheet of A4 scale in half along the length and cut along the fold line.
2. We put one part aside, and fold the second in half in width, and then again in the form of an accordion.
3. Now on the front side we draw the silhouette of a snowman so that its handles end at the edge of the sheet. This will be the place where the garland will grip.
4. Cut out a drawing along the contour, and we have a part of our garland of four snowmen ready.
5. We also make a few more links of our product, and then we fasten the parts (where the handles are) together with narrow tape.

Here's how it was done in the video masterclass:

Snowman on the window

Very different, but very snowy - snowmen!

New Year is rushing to us! Very different, but very snowy - snowmen!
Snowman made of burlap and jute rope.

To make such snowmen you need:

Foam balls (can also be made from papier-mâché or crumpled out of paper and tied with threads);
- burlap / linen fabric;
- jute rope / twine;
- buttons;
- rolls of paper towels / toilet paper;
- plaid fabric (for example, an old shirt);
- black felt / felt;
- pencil, scissors, stationery knife, barbecue stick, glue.

Burlap and Jute Rope Snowman

Take one foam ball and cut the edge off to give it proper stability (photo 2). Cut the burlap into triangles, as in photo 3. The height of the triangle should be equal to the volume of the ball. Cover the balls with burlap (Photo 4-5).

Wrap a foam ball for the snowman's head with twine or jute rope, for which use a hot glue gun (photo 6-7). Connect the balls with a kebab stick (photo 8).

Make a cylinder from a roll of paper towel / toilet paper, glue over with black felt / fleece (Photo 9-10). Cut a piece of pencil from which to make a carrot nose for the snowman (photo 12).

Glue the button eyes. Make a scarf out of an old shirt by cutting off a rectangle. Decorate ready-made snowmen at your discretion.

DIY snowman.

Terry cloth in white and green;
- fleece of any shade;
- synthetic winterizer / holofiber (for filling);
- black beads for the peephole;
- glue, threads.

DIY snowman step by step:

The snowman will consist of three fabric balls of different diameters. Each ball, in turn, will consist of six wedges. Fold the white terry cloth in half and mark the wedges (you need to make three pieces of each size). Remember to leave some distance between the parts. The size of the wedges on the diagonal should be 10.5 cm, 8.5 cm and 7.5 cm (photo 1).

Sew each detail on a typewriter on one side (photo 2). Cut out all the details, making small indents around the edges. As a result, you should get nine double elements (photo 3).

Then put all three elements of each ball together (photo 4) and secure with pins (photo 5). Sew (photo 6). Turn out and fill. Get nice, round balls (Pic 7).

Sew them together in the specified descending sequence (photo 8). And admire the already formed snowman (photo 9)

Next, the snowman needs to make a carrot nose with his own hands. Make it out of a piece of orange fabric, in this case jersey was used. Fold the fabric in half and outline a triangle (Photo 10). Sew, turn out and fill with filler (photo 11). Sew on the snowman's head using a blind stitch (photo 12-13)

Sew on the eyes (photo 14). Give the snowman legs and handles. Fold the white terrycloth in half again and outline the arms and legs. The diagonal length of the handle should be 11 cm (photo 15). Stitch, leaving the filling hole (Photo 16).

Turn out and fill (photo 17). Sew up the hole (Photo 18). Fasten the handles with a thread method (photo 19). Do the same manipulations with the legs, sewing them with a blind stitch (photo 20).

Next, you need to dress an almost finished snowman with your own hands (photo 21). Start with a hat and cut a rectangle out of the fleece (here it measures 21x15 cm) (photo 22). Fold in half (Pic 23). Sew. Get such a blank. On one side, cut off the edge with zig-zag scissors (for decoration) - this will be the "fold" of the cap (photo 24).

On the other side, cut the fringe into stripes (Photo 25). Put the hat on the snowman's head and collect the resulting fringe into a kind of pom-pom (Photo 26). Next, glue the edges at the cap (photo 27-28).

Then make a scarf. To do this, fold a piece of fleece in half and outline the strip of the future scarf. The size of the strip is 25x6 cm (photo 29). Cut the ends of the scarf into fringes using the same scissors (Pic 30).

Tie a scarf over the snowman. It remains to put on mittens for him (photo 31). Also fold the fleece in half, mark the mittens, sew, turn out (Photo 32).

Decorate the edges of the theme with zig-zag scissors (photo 33). You can also give the snowman something to the pens so that he does not get bored. In this case, it was decided to give him a Christmas tree (photo 34). Outline the triangle and the bottom of the future tree on terry cloth in a green shade. The size of the triangle for the Christmas tree is 17x16 cm (photo 35).

Fold the triangle in half (Pic 36). Sew, leaving the filling hole (Pic 37). Pin the bottom of the Christmas tree with pins for reliability (photo 38). Sew (Photo 39). Turn out, fill and sew up the hole (Photo 40).

Sew the resulting tree onto the finished snowman. Decorate the Christmas tree with multi-colored (glue) to make it look like a New Year's.

A snowman with your own hands is ready!

Snowman made of pompons.

To create a snowman from pom-poms, you will need:

White yarn;
- a needle, scissors thick cardboard,
- Additional materials to create a peephole, nose and mouth, as well as his clothes (for example, a scarf and a hat).

Snowman made of pom poms step by step:

First of all, you need to create the pom-poms themselves, for which you can wind yarn around your fingers, as shown in MK, and also use cardboard rings.

A snowman can be made of either two or three pompoms. Pompons should be of different diameters and spherical. You can create handles for your snowman using the smallest cardboard rings. The thread must be wound very tightly.

After creating pompons, they need to be lined up in order of decreasing size and sewn together in the center, you can also connect them with a kebab skewer.

Snowmen can be created with or without handles, you can also use twigs instead of handles and whatever comes to your mind.

Make a scarf and a hat for the snowman from the pom-poms. Can be sewn from leftover fabric or knitted. It is advisable to make them from bright materials.

It remains only to design the snowman's face. For the eyelet, use beads, buttons or threads, for the nose - orange fabric, which must first be rolled into a thin tube. You can also make a spout out of mandarin peel. A snowman's mouth can be braided from a red or dark thread with a pigtail. Sew on or glue on the finished parts.

Creation of such soft toys will bring a lot of pleasure to both children and adults.

You can also create other New Year's crafts from pompons, such as Christmas trees, and figures of other New Year's characters.

Snowmen on the Christmas tree.

To make snowmen you will need:

Packaging polypropylene pallet (from the store);
- multi-colored threads, hook;
- a thin needle;
- glue (you can use a glue stick);
- paper, pen / pencil, scissors;
- tangerine peel.

The process of creating snowmen for a Christmas tree:

Take tangerine peels and cut out noses for snowmen from it, dry.

Draw a pattern of a snowman and mittens on paper. Cut off the bottom of the polypropylene pallet and circle the templates on it (advice: you can use a non-writing pen that can only draw a contour, then there will be no ink marks around the edges). Place the details not end-to-end, then it will be convenient to cut them out.

Cut out the details. 1 snowman will need 2 pcs. torso and 4 pcs. mittens. The rest can be used to create the next snowmen. Tie a hat and scarf. Can also be sewn from fabric (optional).

Draw a face for the snowman, glue the nose and embroider the snowflakes. Cut off some dark thread to create handles.

Take the second part and attach the handles to it, put the part with the face on top, fix them and sew the edges (advice: do not pull strongly on the thread, otherwise it will cut through the polypropylene!).

Embroider a snowflake on one part of the mitten, put a pen thread on it, cover it on top with the second part and sew along the edge, repeat with the next mitten.

Dress up the finished snowman as a snowman in a hat and scarf (fasten the hat with a thread).

The snowman is ready to decorate your Christmas tree!

DIY sock snowman.

To create snowmen from socks, you will need:

White children's knee-highs (tights)
- colored socks
- the core of the orange pencil for the nose-carrot
- needle with thread
- on glue "Moment-Crystal"
- decor for snowmen: laces, ribbons, ties, buttons

Sock snowmen step by step:

Cut off the excess parts from the tights that we do not need - the foot and the upper part.

Turn the future body of a snowman inside out. Tie the upper part with a string. Tie tight enough to keep the snowman millet from spilling out.

Sprinkle in the millet and tie the top.

Dress the snowman: make a hat from the foot of the sock, and an excellent blouse will come out from the top, which can be decorated with buttons, ribbons, bows.

The eyes and nose can be made from any material. You can use buttons for the eyelet, and a rod from an old orange pencil for the carrot nose. It will need to be sharpened, and for strength, glue it to the Moment-Crystal glue.

Sock snowmen are ready!

Snowman. Dry felting technique.

To make a snowman you will need:

White carded wool (about 50 g);
- some orange and red wool;
- synthetic winterizer for the base;
- two beads for the peephole;
- a large needle and a stern thread;
- sponge, glue, nail file;
- 4 fine needles and 1 coarse one;
- dry pastel + brush.

Snowman using dry felting technique step by step:

Pick up a picture of a snowman. You don't need to make an exact copy, but the ratio of the body parts of the snowman is important.

Making the torso:

The snowman's body will consist of three balls different sizes and pens. Take a synthetic winterizer, roll it up tightly and sew with a thick thread. This will be the basis for the largest ball. Fluff up a small piece of wool and, applying it to the synthetic winterizer ball, weld with a thin needle (photo 2). Cover the entire ball with a layer of wool. Try not to create bald spots, and the coat lies flat. Then work with a coarse needle (photo 3-4).

Start making the next ball. For which you need a small piece of wool, which must first be fluffed up so that no "creases" arise. Shape into a ball by gently working with a coarse needle. Start small and then add the wool pieces while constantly turning the ball in your hands. Make it the size and density you need. It is important not to overload the workpiece (photo 5-6).

At the beginning of work, try to keep the needle between your fingers. Make two balls of different sizes and try on. Attach the center ball to the bottom ball. Cover the joint with a small piece of wool (Photo 7-10).

Start making pens for the snowman. Take two identical pieces and fluff them up. Roll the wool, turning it in your hands, giving it the desired shape. You need to make two identical elements. It is necessary to alternately form one or the other hand. Add wool to achieve the same size and density (Pic 11-12).

Then fluff up the upper arm and secure it to the torso (Photo 13-15). "Fasten" the handles to the body with wool. Compare the sizes of the handles (Pic 16-18).

If the snowman is thin, add fur to the sides and belly (photo 19-20).

Head making:

Move on to the next part - make a ball for the head. Seal and measure. Attach the head to the body, smoothing the joint with wool (photo 21-22). Deepen the eye sockets and glue / sew beads into them (photo 23).

Work on facial expressions - give him cheeks and a chin. Make a blank oval from a small piece of wool. We attach it to the head. Next, make two identical balls for the cheeks. Weld them without forgetting about symmetry. Draw a mouth (Pic 24-26).

Use a sponge to create the eyelids. And to speed up the process, you can knit three thin needles with a money rubber band. Start by taking two pieces of wool that are the same size. Fluff them up and place one of them on the sponge (Photo 27).

Gently seal the top on one side and then on the other. Form an even edge. Tighten the wool on both sides again. Make two identical elements (Pic 28-30). Make the upper eyelids by analogy. Begin fastening from the lower eyelid (photo 31-32).

The expression on the face of the snowman will depend on the design of the eye section (photo 33-34). The eyes are ready - make a mouth. Deepen the mouth line with a coarse needle. And mark the place for the spout (Photo 35-37).

Use red wool to make mittens. Begin to carefully create the desired shape by turning the fur in your hands. Make a couple of gloves at once and compare their sizes periodically. Make a finger from a small piece and attach it to the main part. Add wool as needed. Leave the place where the mitt is attached to the hand fluffy (Photo 39-44).

Make a nose for the snowman - form a cone from a small piece of orange wool and fasten it in the intended place (Pic 45-47).

Grinding a snowman:

After the formation of a dense body - proceed to grinding. Take a dime-sized piece of wool. Fluff it up well and gently weld it to the body with a fine needle. Lay the fur like the scales of a fish, covering the entire surface of the toy (photo 48-50).

One handle can be lowered for a natural looking snowman. To do this, press on top of the hand and work out the line of connection between the handle and the body well (photo 51-52). Don't forget to sand the mittens (photo 53). Attach the "buttons", having previously felted three small balls (Pic 54).

Snowman tinting:

For toning, you can use dry pastels of earthy shades. Rub the pastels on a file and then tint the surface with a brush. Then dress the finished snowman in a scarf and hat.

DIY thread snowman.

To create a snowman from threads, we need:

A skein of white knitting thread (other colors can also be used)
- 4 air balloon or a fingertip
- PVA glue
- starch
- colored paper

The process of creating a snowman from threads:

The first step is to prepare an adhesive mixture, for which take half a liter of water, 3 tbsp. l. starch. Cook for a while and cool the resulting paste.

Inflate 4 balloons in size corresponding to the parts of the snowman's body - head, torso and two arms.

Dip the threads into the paste, and then begin to evenly wrap each of the balls with them. In the process of winding, it is advisable to keep the rest of the threads in a sticky mass all the time.

Leave the balls on until the threads are completely dry. After that, you need to carefully remove the ball, for which first blow it off.

Next, you need to connect all the parts of the snowman together. To connect the body to the head, make a depression in it, for which sprinkle a small space from a spray bottle at the place of the future connection and carefully create a depression in a moistened place.

You can glue the body to the head with a paper mug smeared with PVA glue on both sides. Leave until the glue is completely dry.

Glue the hands by analogy. Decorate the snowman by making eyes, a carrot nose, a smile from colored paper. You can also make a nose out of threads, for which you twist a sheet of paper into a cone and wind orange threads dipped in paste over it (the paste also needs to be tinted with orange acrylic paint).

As a headdress, you can make a semblance of a bucket from an ice cream cup, pasted over with brown paper.

A snowman made of threads with your own hands is ready! You can create snowmen of any shape you like, with or without crustaceans.

Happy New Year!

Knitted snowman.

To create a knitted snowman, you will need:

Threads of red, green, white gold;
- hook of the right size;
- tennis ball and bead, slightly smaller in diameter;
- needle and thread to match (thin);
- waxed thread of gold color;
- PVA glue + brush.
- two black glass beads and two black beads;
- paper.

Crochet knitted snowman step by step:

To create the body of a snowman, we need 2 beads of different sizes. You can also use a tennis ball as a base for your torso. Blanks for the head and torso should be white so that the original color does not show through the knitting. To do this, use white beads or paint them with acrylic paint of the appropriate color (Fig. 1).

For tying round shapes, use the following algorithm.

2. You need to finish adding loops when the knitted blank and the ball are not equal in diameter (put the knitting on your ball and measure, looking from above).

Figure 2 shows that you will need to knit at least one more row so that the knitted blank and the tennis ball are equal in diameter.

Figure 3 clearly shows that the diameters of the workpiece and the tennis ball are the same.

3. Any middle round shape you need to knit without adding loops in the number of rows determined by eye. Thus, you will need to knit about 1/4 of the surface of the ball.

4. It is necessary to decrease the loops according to the addition scheme, only in the reverse order. To complete the knitting, decrease the loops until the ball is completely hidden under the knitting.

Figure 5-6 shows the finished tied blanks for the head and body of the future snowman.

To firmly connect them, you will need to thread the end of the thread from the body blank through the penultimate rows of the head blank (Figure 7). Pull it tight and tie in a knot (Figure 8).

Tie a scarf for a snowman bright color, for which, cast on 10 loops with thin knitting needles, and tie the canvas with an ordinary elastic band about 20 cm long (Figure 9-10).

Make a nose with a string of glue. Roll a piece of paper into a bag, fix the end with PVA glue (Figure 11). Pull the orange thread through the resulting blank (Figure 12).

Now knit a hat using the torso knitting algorithm. Those. knit first by adding loops, then several rows without adding (Figure 15).

Take the beads and bugles that will serve as eyes for the snowman. Sew them on. Tie a ready-made scarf (Figure 16).

Attach the nose by passing the thread through the base of the nose (Figure 17). Using a needle, first secure one end of the thread, pull the nose, and then secure the other end of the thread (Figure 18).

Hang the snowman by pulling a gold waxed thread through the end of the beanie.
