- ¼ sheet of colored paper;

- corner hole puncher;

Do-it-yourself paper snowman postcard: a description of the manufacture in step-by-step photos

Step 1. We make the basis for a card with a snowman.

Cut a sheet of A4 white cardboard or landscape sheet into 2 equal parts. Fold 1/2 sheet of cardboard in half.

Step 2. Making a frame.

1/4 sheet of paper of blue color reduce by cutting off 1.5 - 2 cm on both sides (the amount depends on how much you want to leave the frame in white).

Using a corner hole punch, draw the corners on blue paper.

Lubricate with glue wrong side edges of blue paper and stick it on white cardboard so that a white frame remains on all sides.

Step 3. Making a snowman template.

Cut out cardboard according to the size of the postcard (from a notebook cover or from a box of chocolates), on which mark two circles with a compass: the top one is slightly smaller than the bottom one or circle any two round objects. In this case, the diameter of the upper circle is 4.5 cm, the lower one is 5.5 cm. Cut out two circles, getting a shape in the form of the number 8 inside the cardboard.

You will end up with a sheet of cardboard that has a hole in the shape of the number 8 (our snowman template) inside.

Apply the template to the postcard.

Step 4. Draw a snowman.

Attach the cardboard template to the card with paper clips. Dip a sponge or a piece of foam rubber into white paint and stamp it on blue paper inside the circles, leaving the most upper part where the snowman's hat will be.

Step 5. Let's see what we got.

Remove the template from the postcard. Here's what you got.

Step 6. We draw snowdrifts.

Similarly, apply white paint around the snowman - these are snowdrifts. You can press the sponge stick harder to print a white circle - snowballs.

Step 7. Draw a snowman's hat.

Draw a hat with a lapel and a pompom in bright color.

Step 8. We make out the face of a snowman.

draw orange nose - carrot. Outline the mouth with black paint, and with the help of ear stick put two dots - eyes.

Step 9. Draw a scarf.

Draw a scarf, fringe with bright paint. And draw stripes with several lines of black paint.

Step 10. We draw handles and buttons.

With dark green paint, use an ear stick to put 3 dots on the bottom circle of the snowman - these are buttons. And with brown paint with a thin brush draw handles - panicles.

We admire, our snowman is ready!

Of course, you can choose the colors by color yourself! Instead of a hat, you can draw a bucket, a pan, a hat with earflaps, a beret, a cap - this is your creativity!
