Snowmen made of cotton wool

Cotton wool is a material that looks very similar to snow in its lightness and whiteness. It is not surprising that many crafts are made from it. In order for the snowman to keep its shape, a base is prepared from foil, plastic bottles, burnt out light bulbs or just lumps of paper, and cotton wool is already glued on top.

Step by step description

Cotton toys carry a special atmosphere. They are very light, pleasant in the hands and do not break. Everything needed for work can be found in every home. This master class by Svetlana Satina shows how to make a snowman from cotton wool and PVA glue.

Materials:
- cotton wool,
- newspaper or magazine,
- foil,
- white paper napkins,
- threads,
- PVA glue,
- brush,
- toothpick,
- awl,
- twine thread,
- Red ribbon,
- acrylic paints or watercolors.

Progress

Roll three balls of different diameters from an old newspaper. We connect them together and secure them tightly with foil.

Zig-zag cotton wool is more suitable for creating toys. It easily splits into strips and is easier to work with. We divide the cotton wool into strips and wrap them around the snowman, wrapping them tightly with threads. White threads are more suitable for work, as they are easier to mask with pieces of cotton wool. We try to pull the thread so that it lies in different directions. We increase the cotton mass until we get a figure of the desired shape and size.
Keep in mind that wet work awaits us, after which the snowman will increase in volume.

The figure in rough outline is ready, now you can move on to the details. We dilute PVA glue in half with water to make it more liquid. If you don’t have such glue on hand, you can always replace it with paste. By the way, our ancestors worked with him. The only downside of the paste is that after drying it turns yellow.
Again we split the cotton wool into thin pieces and paste them over the workpiece, thoroughly coating the cotton wool with glue. While working, we try to smooth out all the layers as tightly as possible so that the toy turns out with a good crust after drying.

While we are working with wet cotton wool, we constantly smooth it with our fingers, trying to press harder to expel excess air.
We form handles from two identical strips of cotton wool and glue them to the body. We make a small cotton cone and glue it to the place of the nose. Use a toothpick to draw a line for the mouth, and use it to outline the eyes.

In general terms, the snowman is ready, it's time to send it out to dry. This takes several hours, sometimes even days. To speed up the process, some dry the figures on a radiator, then the material shrinks less smoothly.
When the toy is completely dry, we begin to further shape it. We make a hat from white paper napkins. We fold the dry napkin spontaneously, as if creating a headdress. We coat the improvised hat with a large amount of glue. We wait until the napkin is completely wet and make folds on the hat.

To make a scarf, cut the napkin in half, fold it several times in width, apply glue to the inside and smooth it with your finger directly on the table. Then we wrap the scarf around the snowman's head, beautifully distributing the folds. If anyone has plain colored napkins on hand, then you can use them to make clothes for a snowman; you won’t have to paint them in the future. At this stage, we send the toy to dry again.

How to color a snowman

Our snowman is dry and ready for further action.

To paint the toy, take yellow acrylic paint, dilute it with PVA glue and apply it to the scarf and hat. While the yellow color dries, paint the nose of the carrot orange. We draw the mouth in red, put black dots in place of the eyes, and outline the eyebrows. Using the same color, we apply light strokes on the carrots, imitating cracks.
Acrylic paint dries quickly and you can start decorating the scarf and headdress. We draw red stripes on the scarf and put white dots. We put red paint on a flat brush, lightly wipe it on a napkin and use a dry brush to pass along the top of the cap. Overall, the snowman is ready, but something is missing. Among the New Year's toys there was a small golden ball that fit well on the snowman's hand.
In this form, the cotton wool snowman has a complete image. If there is no goal of hanging it on the Christmas tree, then you can consider the work finished.

To decorate the New Year's beauty with a toy, you need to make a puncture in the upper area of the hat with an awl. We thread a twine cord through the hole with a crochet hook, tie a knot and decorate with a red ribbon.

Now the toy is completely ready. And this is him paired with a friend.

New Year's decor of a chocolate bar in the shape of a snowman

It is always pleasant to receive a sweet gift, and if it is also decorated in a special way, then the surprise will be doubly pleasant. An ordinary chocolate bar can be decorated using the popular winter image of a snowman. This is a unique gift for the New Year. You can make it for a baby, put a yummy disguised treat under an elegant Christmas tree. Or the child himself can make such a New Year’s craft to give it to someone. The snowman will turn out to be cheerful and mischievous.

What you need to prepare to decorate the chocolate bar:

the chocolate itself - a traditional bar;
white paper, colored paper;
yellow and red fluffy pompoms;
green paper - plain or corrugated;
decorative tape with a beautiful pattern or grosgrain ribbon;
doll eyes or a black pen;
scissors;
glue or double-sided tape.

How to decorate a chocolate bar for the New Year step by step

1. Take a sweet gift and prepare everything you need for work - paper, fluffies, eyes. If there are no pompoms, then they can be replaced with real buttons or half beads. The snowman will be white, so a regular sheet of white office paper will be suitable as the main material. Any Christmas-themed items you have will work.

2. Carefully wrap the sheet around the chocolate bar, leaving a sweet gift inside. The top and bottom parts can be left unbent to use less glue. Seal only the back wall using a glue stick or double-sided tape. You can wrap the paper in one or several layers so that the pattern of the chocolate bar does not show through, and it is a surprise for the child what is inside. The excess parts at the top and bottom can be trimmed with scissors if desired. In front of you is a white rectangle, which is the basis of the craft. Next you need to turn him into a snowman.

3. Take a beautiful decorative or regular tape and stick it to indicate the head and torso, draw a small tail. The transverse stripe will visually divide the figure into 2 unequal parts. The ribbon will become the snowman's scarf. Attach doll eyes at the top or draw them with a black pen.

4. Attach 3 yellow pom-poms in the form of buttons at the bottom, and place a carrot near the eyes. This snowman decor is quite traditional. Cut out carrots from orange paper. This is the nose.

5. Make a hat using black or purple paper. Prepare a cylinder, glue 3 red pompoms on it and glue green leaves to make a Christmas flower.

6. When the hat is ready, stick it on the top of your head. Glue a decorative decoration – a heart – into the area of the heart, adding rhinestones to it. An interesting sweet New Year gift for a child is ready. You can make a whole basket of such products, using not only the image of a snowman, but also the famous Father Frost, Snow Maiden, deer, penguin, and so on. Get creative by introducing children who love candy to exciting creativity.

New Year 2019 of the Yellow Earth Pig is approaching, and each of us is preparing for this wonderful holiday. Some people plan to celebrate the holiday at home, with their family, while others, on the contrary, in a noisy company of friends, on the street. In both cases, I would like to beautifully decorate the New Year's meeting place. Typically, the New Year's decoration of the home consists of a Christmas tree, all kinds of garlands and beautiful festive compositions from Christmas tree branches and tinsel. On the street, traditionally, a snowman is made from snow and decorated with various fun accessories. But what if you want to have such a funny snowman in your apartment, or it happens that there is little or no snow outside? For such cases, we offer some great ideas on how to make a snowman for the New Year 2019 with your own hands from scrap materials.

Snowman made from plastic cups

In order to make such a rather unusual snowman, you don’t have to work hard, because creating such a miracle is as easy as shelling pears!

To make it you will need:

plastic cups - 300 pcs.;
PVA glue or stapler;
plasticine.

Progress:

30 glasses should be laid out in a circle and fastened together using a stapler or glue. The first row is ready. According to the same principle, we make the second and all subsequent rows. For each subsequent row, fewer and fewer glasses will be required, since they are cone-shaped. Thus, the first lump should be obtained.
The next lump should have a more round shape and smaller dimensions. We take 22 plastic cups and form the second lump in the same way as the first. After that, we turn it over and lay out the missing rows. If desired, you can make a third lump, however, in this case, it may be too unstable.
Connect both lumps and make sure that everything turns out correctly and evenly.
Let's start decorating. Make eyes from black plasticine and a nose from orange plasticine. Wear a hat or cap. You can also use a scarf, ribbons, fabric and other elements for decoration.
You can put a New Year's garland under the snowman, in which case it will also glow. The main thing: show your imagination! This decoration can be installed indoors or outdoors.

Snowman made of threads

One of the easiest options for making a snowman for the New Year 2019 with your own hands is using ordinary threads. It looks original and is done, surprisingly, quickly and easily.

PVA glue,
Balloons - 5 pcs.,
cotton wool,
Needle.

Progress:

First of all, you need to inflate the balloons, they will be the body. 3 - different sizes and 2 - the same (for hands).
Use a needle and thread to pierce a jar of PVA glue. The thread must be saturated with glue. We remove the needle and wrap the thread around the inflated balls, which have been previously coated with a small amount of vegetable oil (so that the thread does not stick to the ball). Try to wrap the balls as carefully as possible so that there are no gaps at all. Once all the balloons are wrapped, place them in a warm place to dry completely (at least 24 hours).
After this, pierce each ball with a needle and remove its remains by the tail.
We sew all the parts together with white thread. For maximum effect, you can coat the stitching areas with glue. Leave it until completely dry.
The eyes can be made from buttons or beads, the nose and mouth from colored paper. Wear a hat and scarf. Our snowman is ready for the New Year!

New Year's craft "Chocolate - snowman"

New Year's holidays in every family, of course, are not complete without sweets. But, given the fact that the New Year is a time of magic and the fulfillment of all cherished desires, you should definitely transform an ordinary chocolate bar into a rather cute snowman, thereby intriguing your children with beautiful homemade packaging.

white or blue paper;
Scissors,
Black felt-tip pen,
PVA glue,
Orange corrugated paper;
Scarf and hat (can be made from a sock or corrugated paper);
Fir branch with beads or other decorative elements.

Progress:

We take a clean sheet of paper and wrap a chocolate bar in it, and so that it does not unfold, we glue it with PVA glue.
On the finished snow-white tile, draw the eyes of the snowman with a black felt-tip pen, and form a nose from a small rectangular piece of orange corrugated paper, tightly wrapping it into a cone and gluing it with glue.
We draw a smile with a black or red felt-tip pen, and create a blush on the cheeks using a red pencil, which we use to shade on a small piece of white paper, and then lightly rub it on the cheeks.
We make a hat and a scarf from a sock: cut it in half and sew one part, where the heel remains, using a needle and thread. Using a thread from the top of the hat, we create a bubo. To make the hat seem mischievous, sit slightly at an angle and tighten one side of it with thread.
We cut the scarf in a semicircle from the second half of the remaining sock and tie it around the snowman’s neck. To prevent the ends of the scarf from sticking out in different directions, we secure them to the tile itself with double-sided tape. We decorate the scarf with fir branches and beads or anything of your choice. Ready!

A snowman is a symbol of winter. A snow woman or snowman is a snow sculpture that is created by children in all the courtyards of the country as soon as snow falls. Usually a snowman consists of three parts: the largest snowball is the stomach, a slightly smaller one is the chest, and the third one is the head. Hands are sticks, nose is carrots. It is customary to decorate snowmen with a scarf, sometimes even with mittens, which are worn over the sticks. And on New Year's Day, children are accustomed to receiving a chocolate Snowman as a New Year's gift.

Lubricate the jar with glue and sprinkle it thickly with coconut flakes. Glue on buttons and a carrot nose cut out of paper. Ribbon - for decorating the snowman. If the lid has holes, you will get a New Year's lamp. We put some cereal and peas inside and place a small candle.

tin cans of different sizes;
paints for painting;
thin rope or twine;
red fabric or felt.

First, we cover the top of the cans with white paint and paint the faces once dry. Decorate with fabric or felt ribbons.

In such jars it is easy to punch a hole with a nail using a hammer. We stretch rope/twine through the holes and secure them inside with knots.

Snowman with hairstyle

The simplest craft. We paint the jar as described above, and use New Year's candies in the shape of Santa's staff as hair. If we couldn’t buy them, we come up with a regular hairstyle - from twigs, threads, etc.

From glass jars

We paint small glass jars with white paint - preferably spray paint, then there will be no drips or brush marks. Let's draw a face. We put on a hat made from a piece of bright fabric.

Even without the caps, the snowman jars are adorable.

Another option for New Year's crafts. The decor is green and red, Christmas.

We use suitable shaped bottles for cosmetics and detergents.

Using the same principle, we turn ordinary glass bottles into snowmen.

Inverted glasses will serve as candlesticks for the holiday.

Snowmen from flower pots

You will need:

pots of different sizes, plastic or ceramic;
dye;
glue;
decor – ribbons, pine/spruce branches, flowers.

We turn the tray of the pot into a hat by gluing a pompom.

Here is a cap from a smaller pot. The eyes are purchased and glued on, but you can also draw them on.

The beauty of making Christmas tree snowmen from felt is that they are sewn by hand, and if you don’t have a sewing machine, this will not be an obstacle. All you need is:

white felt;
colored felt for decoration;
padding polyester - a tiny amount (can be replaced with cotton wool);
needle, thread, scissors;
beads, ribbons.
fabric glue – it is more convenient to glue small decorations rather than sew them on.

1. Cut off the top of one sock, starting from the heel.

2. Turn the cut piece of sock (the top part) inside out and attach an elastic band to one end.

3. Turn the sock inside out again and fill it with rice. Do this so that the bottom of the sock has a round shape, and there is still some rice left at the top.

4. Secure the top end of the sock with another elastic band.

4. Now put on another elastic band just above the middle. Do this so as to form two balls - one large on the bottom and a small one on top.

5. All that remains is to decorate the snowman:

*Use a piece of fabric to add a scarf to the snowman.

*Use beads, pins or buttons to make eyes and nose.

*Use the remaining piece of sock as a snowman hat. To secure it, you can use a thread and a needle or PVA glue.

* Sew a medium and large button onto the snowman.

* You can sew a piece of fabric cut in the shape of a flower to the hat.

DIY snowman made of cardboard and white thread

You will need:

White thick thread

Plates or compasses (to draw a large circle)

Thick cardboard or foam

Buttons

Orange cardboard or faux carrot (for making a snowman's nose)

Scissors or utility knife

A piece of fabric for a scarf

Wire and twine

1. Using a compass or plates of different diameters, draw three circles of different sizes on cardboard or foam.

2. Cut out the drawn circles - if you have cardboard, then use scissors for cutting, and if foam plastic, then a stationery knife.

3. From pieces of cotton wool, scrunch up many balls and place them evenly on each cut out circle.

4. Now you need to wrap each circle with cotton balls with white thread. To do this, first secure one end of the thread to one circle with glue. Start winding the thread around.

Repeat the same with the remaining circles.

5. Connecting the circles. Place one circle partially on top of the other and use glue to connect the large circle to the medium one and the medium one to the small one.

6. Prepare the snowman’s hat and hands. For the arms, you can use wire wrapped in twine or thin branches attached with glue to the circle.

To make the hat, use wire or cut a hat out of black cardstock and glue it to a small circle.

7. Glue the buttons to the middle circle. You can also glue buttons on the top circle to act as eyes.

8. Cut out a carrot from orange cardstock and glue it to a small circle. If you have an artificial carrot, you can simply glue it to the center of the small circle.

DIY "Chocolate Snowman" craft
