Snowman postcard

Making such a paper snowman is very simple. Even a preschooler can cope with the task. You need to cut out three circles of different sizes from thick white paper. It is advisable to shade the edges of the circles so that they stand out better against each other. This can be done using crushed pencil lead or eye shadow. Also cut out a scarf, pens, a carrot nose, eyes and buttons from colored paper. Glue all the parts of the snowman sequentially onto the blank of your New Year's card. To give the snowman volume, it is better to fasten the circles together using double-sided tape.

With kids 2-3 years old, you can make a “Snowman” applique card from cotton pads.

Snowman painted with snow paint

Recipe for volumetric snow paint. If you mix equal amounts of PVA glue and shaving foam, you will get wonderful airy snow paint. She can draw snowflakes, snowmen, polar bears and winter landscapes.

Making a snowman out of cups couldn't be easier. This snowman craft will never melt and will delight your children for years to come. To make a snowman from plastic cups you will need many, many plastic cups and a stapler. One ball takes about a hundred cups.

For one snowman you will need to make two balls: a larger one (for the body) and a smaller one (for the head). Each ball will consist of two hemispheres. To make one hemisphere, you need to lay out cups on the floor in the shape of a circle of the diameter you need. Fasten the cups together. Next, add new rows of cups on top, not forgetting to fasten them with a stapler. As more and more cups are added, they themselves will naturally take the shape of a hemisphere. When one hemisphere is ready, make another one exactly the same. We only advise you to leave the upper parts of the hemispheres unfinished, so that the snowman stands steadily on the floor, and to make it easier to attach the head later. Now all you have to do is connect the two parts of the ball together and fasten them. The body is ready. You need to make the head in exactly the same way.

Making such a paper snowman with your own hands is not at all difficult.

You will need a large piece of whatman paper or old wallpaper, colored paper, and buttons.

Snowmen made of snow, snow sculptures

Crafts for children

SNOWMAN WITH CANDY.

From paper or cardboard you can make these cute snowmen that hide inside a candy gift and a folded note with New Year's wishes. This craft can be easily done by children in kindergarten or elementary school students during a labor lesson at school.

The design of candy packaging in the shape of a snowman can be very different. For example, the snowman in the photo below has a hole on his tummy, thanks to which everyone can see the pot-bellied chocolate candy.

These candy snowmen can be made not only from thick paper, but also from a fashionable craft material - FORMIAMA (colored thick sheets similar to rubber - sold individually or in a set).

CRAFTS-GARLAND

from snowmen.

You can make an elegant garland from a chain of snowmen. The paper is folded into wide strips - like an accordion. On the folded accordion we draw the silhouette of a snowman (so that the edge of the paw extends beyond the edge of the accordion), then we cut it all out, unfold it and paint it. From one A4 sheet you get 3-4 snowmen, then we glue these chains of snowmen into one long strip and hang them on a wall or window.

You can cut out all the snowmen separately from white paper, come up with colorful decorations for them (hats, brooms of different styles and sizes) and then collect all the snowmen on a long string. The rope is stretched in two places of the snowman - on the left and right we pierce the snowman in the neck area and stretch the twine.

In order for the snowmen to hang on the twine at intervals (not to move the beads into one pile), you need to make a STOP at the point where the rope extends - this can be a paper clip from a stapler, click directly on the rope and the snowman will not slide along the twine, or it can be a lump of plasticine on rope, or a piece of tape. This way, each snowman will take its place on the rope and will not run into its neighbor.

If you do not want the rope to be visible, you can stretch it behind the backs of the snowmen (put the snowmen on the table in a row - lay the rope on top of them - secure the rope with tape in two places on the snowman.

You can make a garland of white plastic plates and stick a nose and eyes on them. Or draw with gouache (to make gouache paint on slippery plastic, add liquid soap or dishwashing detergent to it).

Craft Snowman

VERTICAL.

Kids love making these snowman crafts that can be placed upright like a postcard.

Here is a postcard craft, the front of which is covered with scraps of white paper napkin. The result is a relief texture - very pleasant to the touch. On top of this relief roughness we make an applique of a scarf and a hat from thick colored paper. A beautiful craft that children in the middle group of kindergarten can do.

But here is a craft where the child needs to do it himself - cut a sheet of A4 paper diagonally - and then fold this sheet three times - we get this zigzag hill, similar to snowy hills - on such a hilly slope you can place snowmen, Christmas trees and other New Year paraphernalia. After this, we attach our paper fold to the back background sheet of cardboard, and then the craft can be placed vertically.

A sheet of cardboard can be designed as a stand for paper silhouettes of snowmen (photo below).

To do this, fold a sheet of cardboard in half - make a cut not reaching the edge (this cut will separate the high area of ​​the stand from the accordion area.
We do not touch the high zone (it remains sticking up). But we bend the second zone several times, forming an accordion.

I have attached a diagram of such a postcard-stand with snowmen below. I specifically figured out what was what and drew a template so that everyone could make such a beautiful craft with their own hands.

And here is a snowman craft, where we fold a sheet of paper into a small accordion, then we unfold it, draw an oval snowman’s tummy on it, cut it out and fold the accordion again along the same fold lines. In the folded accordion we make a hole with an awl, insert a cocktail tube or wooden putty into it, glue on a head, hat, scarf or bow tie, we get a snowman craft as in the photo below.

Craft SNOWMAN

from large pieces of cardboard.

If you have access to large pieces of cardboard, you can make large snowman crafts.

Here's the first idea for a great snowman craft - which can be turned into an accuracy game. We will throw balls in order to get into the round hole on the snowman.

Or this craft-lamp in the shape of a snowman. We cut out the silhouette of a snowman from cardboard. We poke holes in it here and there. Along the back wall of the snowman there will be a regular New Year's garland with small LED bulbs. We put the light bulbs through the holes in the snowman. Thus, the garland itself is hidden behind the snowman and we see only the light points. The result is a beautiful New Year's lamp - an excellent New Year's craft for an exhibition at school or kindergarten.

Snowman made of paper strips.
volumetric 3D craft.

1. Cut out of paper stripes- the lower part of the strip is thicker, and the upper half of the strip is slightly narrower.
2. Next we cut it out of paper circle(this will be the bottom of the snowman). We glue the strips to the bottom circle - radially, like rays of the sun. When the glue sets well, lift each strip up.
3. From another strip of paper we make ring. And we fasten the upper ends of the strips with glue onto this ring-rim - in a circle.
4. Now bend each strip fingers in the place where it goes from thick to thin (we do the bend of the neck). We secure this fold with a ribbon tie.
5. Leftover from paper fold your hat and put it on the snowman. You can make a hat from a jar of yogurt and paint it with black gouache. To prevent the gouache from sliding on a smooth jar, add liquid soap or dishwashing gel to it.

Snowman craft

FROM PAPER DOUGH.

1. Take a roll of toilet paper. Tear into pieces and throw into a bowl.
2. Pour boiling water over and leave to swell.
3. Squeeze the swollen mass through a sieve or mosquito net.
4. Add PVA glue to the squeezed mass. We make a snowman figurine from such dough.
5. Dry on a sunny windowsill until it becomes wooden. Cover with white gouache, dry, and spray with hairspray.
6. We draw eyes, buttons, mittens. We decorate with other decor from paper, fabric, thread, beads and other things.

Craft with snowfall.
Snowman in a snow bank.

You can make a REAL SNOW GLOBE WITH SNOWFALL and a snowman inside. Take a jar with an iron screw cap. We make a snowman out of plasticine, attach the figure firmly to the bottom of the lid (ideally, it is better to take a plastic snowman and glue it to the lid with thermal glue).

Pour salt water (a strong strong salt solution) into a jar. Add white and silver nail polish, sequins, beads and other tinsel to the water to act as snow. The salt water should reach the very edge of the jar. We put a lid on the jar (so that the snowman hangs upside down) and SCREW it TIGHT. Turn the jar upside down. And we watch how the sparkles and beads slowly settle in the water... and how the snow falls over the snowman. THIS SALT WATER prevents the particles from quickly settling to the bottom and causing them to swirl and dance. A beautiful craft - my daughter made me one for the dog’s year, we have a plastic dog in a jar under the snow.

Note 1- it is better to stick several layers of thick polystyrene foam (foam packaging) or other material that does not rot in water onto the lid - such a thick backing WILL RAISE THE SNOWMAN so that it is a little higher on an elevated surface. Or, for the same purpose, you can make a SLIDE from plasticine on the lid and only then stick a snowman to it.

Note 2- if you are afraid that your snowman will come off in the water, you can provide a wire frame. We bend a piece of wire in half - we stick the wire inside the snowman, two branches of wire remain below - we bend them in different directions, and we embed these wire tendrils into plasticine stuck in a thick layer on the lid.

Crafts for the window

paper snowmen.

We are all used to covering the window with snowflakes made of white paper, or small figures, New Year's silhouettes.
If you are already making a silhouette white lining applique for the window, then let it be a large, respectable size. Here are some ideas for making two snowmen. You can print this picture enlarged and draw a template based on it. Or you can simply redraw it by eye - this is not a complex drawing (simple geometry of circles and stripes).

But it’s better to decorate the window in winter with COLORED applications with snowmen. Such crafts look more elegant and more festive.

Such crafts made from colored paper CAN ALSO be glued onto SOAP, just like white snowflakes. This way you won’t have to scrub the sticky tape off the glass later.

Come up with different funny snowmen yourself. And slap them on your windows - let the winter be bright with emotions and rich in entertainment.

Here is a pendant craft in the form of a snowman made of colored paper, on which snowflakes are held on strings. This applique is beautiful to hang on a window or door. Both decoration and crafts. In kindergarten, such work can be done collectively.

Here is a snowman craft on transparent paper. Fits baking paper or parchment for patterns or inner packaging from ordinary Soviet cookies.

We cut out a base ring from cardboard (we cut out the same ring from colored paper). We insert parchment between the rings and make a snowman applique on it. This beautiful craft is suitable for middle and high school children.

In the older group of kindergarten you can make snowmen from paper rolls. Children themselves will bend the umaga strips into rolls and fix the gluing. And then they will assemble such a snowman and stick it on cardboard.

If you have a bright paper napkin, then HURRAY!!! you can make a craft like this: AN IMPOSANT SNOWMAN. Cardboard silhouette - a hat made of colored paper. Using a utility knife, make 2 slits on the tummy. We fold the napkin like an accordion, lift the slot with our fingers, push the napkin through, straighten the folds - and beauty. This craft is suitable for children of the middle group, who are just this year learning to fold an accordion out of paper.

CARDS WITH A SNOWMAN.

For the New Year, you and your children can make greeting cards with snowmen. This will be a beautiful work that can be decorated with great artistic taste - add a paper openwork cutout (half or quarter of a snowflake), sprinkle glitter imitating sparkling snow. Glue sprigs of pine needles or scales of a cone.

The basis for an applique with a snowman can be a print of a child's foot. We paint the child's foot with white paint, carefully press the foot onto a sheet of cardboard - the print is ready. Note - if you want to apply a paint print on GLOSSY cardboard (slippery shiny) - then be sure to add dishwashing detergent to the gouache; without soap, the gouache will simply form droplets and will not paint.

We crumple the newspaper into a lump, wrap the komak in a new sheet of newspaper, then in another, then in another sheet until our newspaper sack grows to the size we planned. Then we fix the bag with tape, hide the tape places behind pieces of pasted newspaper (we dip pieces of newspaper in PVA glue, apply them on top of the tape, dry them. We paint all the surfaces of the snowman with white paint, attach the nose, eyes, hands.

We make a hat from a jar of yogurt - we also cover it with pieces of newspaper wet with PVA glue, dry it and cover it with black gouache, fix the gouache with hairspray). You will find even more interesting newspaper shapes of snowmen in our article.

At home, we pour warm water into a bowl, add soap there - tear off a piece of wool with your hand, dip it in water and roll it into a ball with your hands in soapy warm water, it becomes small and dense. Once again we add wool to the ball and again roll it in soapy water with our hands (we mold it as if from plasticine) - the felt very quickly rolls into dense balls. We dry the balls on the window in the sun. We assemble a snowman from them, decorate it with knitted or sewn accessories.

2. We place the second row between the cups of the first row. The cups should go slightly inside the ball to form a hemisphere. An ideal ball is unstable, so you need to strive for a hemisphere. For the second row you will also need 25 plastic cups.
3. We lay the following rows. For the bottom ball you need to lay 7 rows of glasses. With each row, fewer and fewer cups will be required, since they are cone-shaped and your craft will take the shape of a ball. The workpiece should remain open; we will install the next ball on it.
4. To make a snowman's head from plastic glasses you will need 18 pieces. Smaller head. We also lay them out in a circle until the finished head is obtained. If it was not possible to finish the ball on top, then you can put a hat or cap on its head and thus cover the hole.
5. Place the small ball on the large one, check how stable this craft is and fasten it together.
6. Decorate the head - create eyes from fabric or plasticine, a nose - a cone from orange colored paper, hang tinsel around your neck, and place a Christmas tree garland inside for illumination.
7. If a snowman made from plastic cups is made from 3 balls, it will turn out to be very unstable.

The second method is more convenient - you need to thread a needle and pierce a tube of PVA glue with this thread. The thread passing through a jar of glue will itself be wetted in the glue.
3. We wrap the ball with glue thread through the center, creating a pattern. If it seems to you that the ball is not completely saturated with glue, then you can additionally coat it with glue on top.
4. Let's make two more smaller balls in this way.
5. Do we leave the balls to dry for 10 - 12 hours? then we puncture the balloon and remove it.
6. After drying, glue the balls to each other with a glue gun. To make them stick to each other better, you need to make a small indentation near one of the glued balls.

(Snowman)

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.

Since childhood, everyone knows that the best gift is a gift made with your own hands. And the best decorations for the home and under the Christmas tree are DIY snowmen.

This material presents 7 master classes and 40 inspiring photo crafts for the little ones and older children.

Master class 1. Snowman made from a sock

Looking at these soft toys, it seems that they were sewn by skilled needlewomen, but in fact, every child can make the same snowman with their own hands in just 15 minutes from... a sock.

Materials:

1. White sock;
2. Filler – any small cereal or padding polyester/cotton wool;
3. Thick threads or thin rope;
4. Decoration materials:

• For eyes and nose: beads or pins with colored heads. You can also simply draw them with felt-tip pens or acrylic paints;
• Cloth: buttons;
• Scarf: a piece of colored material (can be cut from a colored sock) or ribbon;

1. Glue and thread with a needle to sew buttons and a hat;
2. Scissors.

Step 1. Cut the sock into two parts as shown in the photo. The lower part of the sock (it should be without a heel) is the future hat, and the upper part is the body of the snowman.

Step 2. Take the top part of the sock and turn it inside out, then use a thread to tightly tie one end of the sock (preferably the heel part) and turn our workpiece right side out again. You will end up with something like a bag.

The slider below clearly shows the process of how to make a snowman's body from a sock.

Step 3. Fill the resulting bag with filler, for example, rice as in our master class. For convenience, you can pull the sock over a roll of tape (see photo).

Shape the snowman's body, then tie the top with thread and trim the ends.

Step 4: Now tie the thread around your neck. Hooray! The snowman is almost ready, all that remains is to decorate it.

Step 5. First, we’ll dress the figurine with a scarf and at the same time hide the thread around the neck. The scarf can be cut from any soft fabric, such as a colored sock or fleece. If the selected fabric does not crumble too much, you can cut fringe at the ends of the scarf.

Make a snowman hat from the remaining part of the sock.

Glue the buttons in the middle. If desired, they can be sewn on.

Step 6. Finally, make the eyes and nose of your snowman. To do this, you can simply stick pins, draw them with felt-tip pens, cut them out of felt, or sew on beads.

If you wish, you can make a whole family of snowmen using different materials and socks of different sizes and colors.

And here is a selection of photo ideas for decorating snowmen made with your own hands from socks.

Master class 2. Snowman made of cotton wool and cardboard

Children over one year old will surely love the idea of ​​making a snowman from cotton wool and cardboard. You will need very little help from adults. The famous Olaf was made in this project, but you can make the most ordinary snowman.

Materials:

• Cardboard;
• Scissors;
• Pencil;
• PVA glue;
• Cotton wool balls (or just cotton wool);
• White paper, black and orange marker;
• Small twigs (collect them on a walk, wash and wipe dry).

Instructions:

Step 1. First you need to draw a silhouette of a snowman consisting of three balls on cardboard. If you want to make Olaf, then copy him from a picture found on the Internet. You can tell the child that Olaf’s body consists of a large and a small ball, his legs are made of two small balls, and his head looks like an elongated diamond.

Step 2. Cut out the drawn figure.

Step 3. Pour PVA glue onto a piece of cardboard or saucer, pour cotton balls or regular cotton wool in front of the child. Next, you need to cover the entire figure with cotton wool according to the “dip-and-stick” pattern (you can say that). If you use regular cotton wool in a roll, then first you need to tear off a piece from it, then roll it up like a bun and only then glue it.

Step 4. Glue branch handles to the back of the cardboard. Don't forget to glue three branches to the head too.

Step 5. Now draw and cut out three small balls, paint them black and glue them onto the craft. Then draw, cut out and glue on the eyebrows, eyes, mouth and carrot nose. Olaf is ready! You can glue a loop to it and hang it on your door or tree.

By the way, if you have disposable plates lying around, you can glue them together and use them as a base for crafts.

A cotton wool snowman can also decorate a wall panel or postcard.

Master class 3. Snowman made of threads

The next craft idea is a snowman made of threads, which a child can make with his own hands with a little help from an adult.

Materials:

1. Balloons (2 pcs);
2. A skein of thick white thread (you can use latex or waxed thread, but it’s better to try to find just cotton thread);
3. PVA glue;
4. Hot glue gun;
5. Glue container;
6. Paints;
7. Scissors;
8. Scotch;
9. Decoration materials:

• Hands: branches;
• Eyes and mouth: black cardboard or black buttons;
• Nose: orange paper/cardboard or white paper and orange paint;
• Cloth: buttons;
• Scarf: a piece of colored material or ribbon;
• Top hat (optional): cardboard, printer and tape.

Step-by-step instructions on how to make a snowman from threads with your own hands:

Step 1. Inflate balloons: one larger (torso), one smaller (head).

Step 2. Connect the balls using tape.

Step 3. Place newspaper on the table to protect it from glue. Pour glue into a saucer, lower most of the thread into it, then proceed to randomly wrap the balls, starting from the neck. Remember that the thread should always be generously covered with glue. Don't try to wrap the snowman too tightly.

Step 4. When the entire figure is covered with threads, leave the glue to dry overnight or 24 hours.

Step 5. Now that the glue is completely dry, pierce the balls with a needle and carefully pull them out. If you are afraid to widen the hole between the threads, pull out the balls under the neck, because it will still be tied with a scarf.

Step 6. Cut out a small circle at the bottom of the figure. This is necessary so that the snowman can stand.

Step 7: Trim the branches to the desired length and glue them using a hot glue gun.

Step 7: If you want your snowman craft to have a top hat, print out the template below on cardstock, cut out all the pieces, and glue them together. The cylinder can then be decorated with ribbon.

Master class 5. Snowman made from toilet paper rolls

Rolls from toilet paper or paper towels are excellent blanks for New Year's snowman crafts. Wrap the sleeve in white paper or paint it white, then draw eyes and buttons on the belly with a felt-tip pen, glue on a nose and a scarf cut out of colored paper.

If desired, the snowmen can be insulated with scarves and hats cut from colorful socks

Pipe cleaners and felt were used to decorate these snowman crafts.

Master class 6. Christmas tree decorations made from light bulbs

Another idea for making snowmen from waste materials is Christmas tree decorations made from incandescent light bulbs. True, you need to work with them as carefully as possible and only with the help of an adult. But hand-made New Year's snowmen will be able to decorate the Christmas tree more than once.

Santa Claus and reindeer will make excellent company for the snowman

Step 6. Cut a scarf from a piece of fabric, tie it and, if necessary, secure it with glue. Draw or glue a couple of buttons on the stomach.

Master class 7. Springy paper snowman

And finally, we suggest making a snowman simply from colored paper. If you make a lot of these crafts and hang them on a ribbon, you will get a beautiful New Year's garland.

Materials:

• Two sheets of white paper (regular office paper will do, although thicker paper will work best).
• Paper of other colors (for the nose, scarf and outfit).
• Black marker.
• Glue, scissors.
• Optional: paper cupcake tin, glitter, buttons.

Step 1. Cut the paper into strips in two lengths, for example, cut one sheet of paper across and the other along the length.

Step 2. Now collect the strips into a ball, fixing it with glue.

Step 3. Draw or glue all the details: eyes, nose, buttons. Cut a long strip of colored paper and make a scarf. You can also use a paper cupcake liner as a hat.

Step 4. If you want the snowman to be able to stand, then glue a coin or small stone to the bottom of it.
