We make a snowman with our own hands. How to make a snowman in winter: tips, original methods, video tutorials. Making snowmen without snow from cotton wool How to make a snowman with your own hands

Hello dear readers and guests of the blog. We continue to prepare for the New Year, and today we will look at the question of how you can create everyone’s favorite winter character - the Snowman - with your own hands.

Of course, you will immediately say that the most popular way to make a snow hero is to sculpt it from snow. But it can be very cold outside, and besides, you can’t bring such work into the house, because it will melt.

Therefore, I want to offer you exclusively homemade creativity. Let's try to sew, knit, glue snowmen from different materials at hand. And you can use ready-made crafts to decorate your home or holiday table, as well as for your loved ones, or take part in various exhibitions in kindergartens and schools.

And be sure to involve your children in the process, because this is a very exciting and educational activity.

A super-issue has been prepared for you with detailed master classes on making funny Snowmen. So get ready, it's going to be hot! 😀

We will start our needlework from ordinary plastic cups. They are very suitable for creating a snow character. Especially if you take white cups as a basis.

Here is a very simple and, most importantly, fast manufacturing method. At the same time, such souvenirs are excellent quality.

You will need:

• Plastic cups;
• Glue;
• Colored paper or cardboard;
• Scissors;
• Colored laces;
• Wire.

Manufacturing process:

1. Take the glass and turn it down. This will be the body and head of the future craft.

Or you can simply draw these elements with a felt-tip pen or sculpt them from plasticine.

3. Glue the parts onto the base. Using wire and colored laces, make a headphone handle. Glue it. Additionally decorate the product as you wish.

And hand-drawn options.

Or the cup can only be used as a body, but the head can be cut out of thick paper.

And now the most popular way to make a winter character from a large number of cups. The work is not difficult and even children can do it. But you need to prepare more disposable cups.

You will need:

• Plastic cups;
• Stapler;
• Hot glue;
• Thin scarf fabric or scarf;
• Colored paper;
• Scissors.

Manufacturing process:

1. Fasten the cups to each other using a stapler in the form of a circle with the bottoms facing inward. Choose the diameter at your discretion, depending on the size of the craft you need.

2. Add cups in the next row to the resulting circle, fastening everything with a stapler. Continue this work, while the first round sphere should have a hole so that the souvenir stands stable.

3. As a result, you should end up with a large ball with a hole at the bottom. Using the same technology, make another ball, but with a smaller diameter than the previous one.

4. Glue both balls together.

5. Tie a scarf or wide ribbon around your neck; you can also sew a scarf yourself from fabric.

6. Now make a hat from colored paper or cardboard, following the photo instructions. Cut out eyes, buttons and roll a carrot cone out of orange cardboard.

7. Glue the prepared parts.

8. Your work is ready. And put a garland inside, then the snowman will also glow.

Thanks to this technology, you can create funny and mischievous characters. Turn on your imagination and create!

I hope you enjoy this creativity and inspire you to create new crafts.

You will need:

• Sock;
• Threads;
• Scissors;
• Rice for filling;
• Buttons;
• A piece of fabric;
• Needles with a bead at the end.

Manufacturing process:

1. Take a clean sock and cut it into two parts.

2. Take the top of the sock.

4. Hide the resulting knot inside.

5. Now fill the workpiece with rice, or padding foam or cotton wool.

6. Use your hands to form the body and head.

Craft “Snowman” from papier-mâché. Step-by-step instructions for beginners

Remember, in childhood, papier-mâché technology was a fashionable technique for making various products?! She is still trending. After all, the most basic materials are needed for execution, and the whole process will not take much time.

Well, the souvenirs turn out amazing, you can’t even immediately tell what they are made of. Just a miracle! For the New Year, crafts in the papier-mâché style are just right!

If you are ready, then let's quickly start the process.

You will need:

• Toilet paper;
• PVA glue;
• Vata;
• Paints;
• Cardboard;
• A piece of fabric;
• Scissors.

Manufacturing process:

1. Prepare all materials. Cut out a blank for the legs from cardboard.

2. Tear the toilet paper into pieces.

3. Add glue, stir the contents.

4. From the resulting mass, mold three balls of different diameters. Glue the first ball onto the cardboard base, the second onto the first, and the third onto the second.

5. Now pinch off pieces of cotton wool and coat them with glue. Cover the workpiece with pieces.

Additionally, the cotton wool can be coated with glue already on the product to smooth out all the unevenness.

6. Dry the workpiece. Meanwhile, cut out handles and a spout from paper or cardboard. The nose, by the way, can also be made using the papier-mâché technique.

7. Once the product is dry, it can be painted with white paint. Or don't do it. If you choose painting, first paint and dry the souvenir again. And only then draw the eyes, mouth, eyebrows, smile and buttons. Glue the handles and tie a piece of fabric (this is a scarf). If you choose the second option, then do absolutely everything except painting.

The craft turned out to be very bright, and the snowman looks like it’s alive.

You can also make souvenirs in the following images.

Crocheted and knitted snowmen with patterns

Now, lovers of knitted products, sit closer to your monitor screens. Ideas for crocheting and knitting amiguru toys have been put together especially for you). Save the diagrams and description, and get to work. You will still have time to knit a couple of soft souvenirs.

Master class on making a three-dimensional paper snowman

Now we will create from a material accessible to everyone - from paper. I’ll say right away that there are a lot of paper crafts in the shape of a Snowman, so we won’t be able to sort them all out. This needs to be written as a separate article. Therefore, here and now we will consider the most popular manufacturing methods.

First, I suggest making a winter character from ordinary crumpled paper. Children will really like this activity. It’s so simple, just crumple the paper).

You will need:

• White paper (A4 format) – 1 whole sheet and 1 cut in half;
• White paper (A3 format) – 3 pcs.;
• Orange paper in the shape of a square - 8 by 8 cm;
• Red paper in the shape of a rectangle - 4 by 15 cm;
• Blue paper in the form of a strip - 1 by 18 cm;
• PVA glue;
• Markers.

Manufacturing process:

1. Take a whole white sheet of paper and crumple it into a ball.

2. Now unroll it and smooth it out with your hand. After this procedure, crumple the paper again. Repeat the smoothing and scrunching steps until the paper is completely soft. Do the same with sheets of A3 paper.

Such lumps can be made from several crumpled leaves. Just wrap each lump with another sheet.

4. Also crumple the orange paper and form a cone. This is a carrot nose.

5. Now glue the resulting parts together.

7. Glue it on the head. Make a scarf from a blue strip and secure it around your neck.

8. Draw eyes, mouth, hair and buttons for the winter hero.

Now the technology is more complicated, namely quilling. Although there is nothing complicated here, just train your hands a little and everything will work out.

You will need:

• Quilling paper (various colors);
• Glue;
• Scissors.

Manufacturing process:

1. Cut sheets of white paper into strips 5 mm wide. Next, twist them into two large spirals. This will be the head and torso.

2. Glue them together.

3. Now cut strips for the hat from different colors. Twist them and arrange them in the form of a pyramid. Glue the parts together. You can decorate the top with a pompom.

But from corrugated paper you can make an option similar to the one from the first master class with crumpled paper. And also take and hide a gift in the product. Cool idea!

And here is a diagram for its manufacture.

Of course, do not forget that snow heroes can decorate not only the interior, but also. Therefore, make different applications from colored paper.

Or pendants made from ordinary wide stripes look very good. And there is nothing complicated here. I cut out wide strips of different sizes, glued them together and decorated them. Now the souvenir is completely ready.

You can also use only one wide strip, and use small chocolates as a base. It turns out to be a sweet gift.

Or think about products made from ordinary circles, when you bend them and glue them together. Thanks to this technology, you can make a toy for the Christmas tree.

You can take ready-made stencils and make cool little people out of them. Or use the origami technique.

By the way, it’s great if you take not just paper for making crafts, but for scrapbooking. Look, the works are very bright.

An ordinary “accordion” made of paper is also suitable for creating such heroes.

Or these striped Snowmen.

And this is the technology for making paper striped balls.

But for team work, use your palms. From them we can glue our character.

And of course, you can simply cut out the snow hero from paper and decorate the window glass with it. That is, do it. Here are the stencils for you. Save, print and cut!

You can also search for finished products yourself. Everything regarding paper is done in an easy and understandable way.

DIY New Year's snowmen: master class

They turn out very beautiful DIY Christmas snowmen, master class will show you how to complete this fun craft step by step. As a rule, it is on New Year's Eve that everyone is busy with creativity, some decorate the Christmas tree, some decorate the house or the lawn in front of the house, some create cards with their own hands, where congratulations will be written for relatives, and some prefer to make souvenirs -presents. As a matter of fact, if you decide to make a snowman, then they can be used both for decoration and as a gift.

If you're interested, how to make Christmas snowmen with your own hands, then, first of all, you need to pay attention to the technique of sewing toys using felt. If you have decided to try this type of needlework for the first time, then do not worry, since this material is very convenient, easy to cut, does not fray, so you do not need to additionally process the edges. After all, remember how difficult it was to work with satin ribbons, when we made them, they may come in handy for you too. And if you fill the sewn parts with down, you will get a beautiful three-dimensional figure.

Among the materials that we will need, felt comes first - white, burgundy, black, blue, green, red, orange. The filler will be holofiber; you also need to take six beads for decoration, felt-colored threads, glitter, and Dragon glue.

Before cutting out the parts, you need to trace them on felt, and first you need to prepare a sketch or pattern of all the elements. It can be printed, or transferred from the monitor to paper (just place an A4 sheet in the monitor and trace the elements with a pencil).

Now you need to cut out the elements on paper. Take white felt and fold it in half (because this material does not have a reverse side). We will use it to complete the base of the snowman. We attach two circles of paper (which we cut out) on top; this can be done using pins. You can cut out as many bases as you want to end up with snowmen.

Next, you can sew the circles together using threads of a contrasting color, for example, green. Hand stitches look very beautiful on this material, but they must be neat. The circle does not need to be sewn up to the end right away; first it must be filled with holofiber, and only then sewed up. On top of this already formed circle, you need to put both sides of the upper, second part, combining them. Also secure with pins and sew with hand stitches. At the junction, you also need to sew first on one side, fill it with holofiber and sew up the second side.

The base is ready, it's time to decorate it. The snowman should have a beautiful black cap. Cut it according to the pattern using black felt. You can trace the details along the contour with chalk or a piece of dry soap. There should still be two parts for each element of the craft.

Now we attach the cap to the head, it must be “put on” over the head and secured with pins. Cut a strip from the burgundy color that will be attached to the front side. It must be glued with Crystal or Moment.

We make the eyes using black beads; they must be sewn or glued. Orange material will be needed to cut out and then sew the nose, and attach the finished nose to the face (glue it). You need to embroider the mouth of the toy using hand stitches so that it looks just like natural.

You also need to embroider a snowflake on the bottom circle using hand stitches. You need to cut a Christmas tree out of green. Sew hand stitches down the center, sewing it to the base.

Cut a couple of stripes from blue. Glue one on the neck, so you decorate the snowman with a scarf, and form the other strip into a bow and secure it in the center.

We got these beautiful ones DIY Christmas crafts: snowman must be original, so decorate each next one with other elements.

If you like sewing from felt, then be sure to try it, they will tell you what color material to buy.

DIY Christmas crafts: snowman

DIY Christmas snowmen from bottles Decoupage techniques require special skills, so children do not always cope with this type of creativity on their own. But we offer you the simplest option - crafts from threads; here you only need to know how to make pom-poms. Naturally, we will need white yarn, and we will also need some blue yarn for decoration.

To make a pompom, you need a template that is an open ring. For each pompom you need to take two identical ones. It is better to do it from thick paper (cardboard, for example). The diameter of your template will determine the size of the pompom.

Now we need to remember how we sculpt a snowman, because for this we always use three snowballs of different sizes, the same must be done here, but the snowball will be pom-poms. Small will have a diameter of 4.5 cm, medium - 6 cm, large - 8 cm.

Two identical templates must be folded, wrapped with yarn, it must be wound tightly. Now cut a small piece of thread. Squeeze the workpiece tightly in your hand and cut the threads from the outside between the two template parts. Thread the prepared piece of yarn through and tie it. Now the finished pompom needs to be trimmed, cutting off all excess. Make three fluffy lumps and you can form a snowman, for this you need to use hot glue.

The eyes should be made of black beads, the nose should be made of orange felt, filled with holofiber. We will decorate our toy with a cylinder, which we will also cut out of blue material. The mittens are made of red, and the hands must be made of thick wire, wrapped with black yarn. At the end, decorate it with a blue knitted scarf.

DIY Christmas snowmen made of paper

DIY Christmas snowmen made of paper- this is an activity for the little ones who find it difficult to make crafts using sewing or pom-poms; for preschoolers you can offer very beautiful appliqués. A snowman can be made from napkins; although the activity is simple, it is very exciting and useful; thanks to such creativity, the child develops thinking, imagination, and fine motor skills.

In addition to napkins, you will also need scissors, a stapler, glue, and cardboard for the base (preferably blue). First you need to take ordinary white napkins (three pieces) and fold them together. Fasten them in the center with a stapler. Cut out a circle with scissors, which must first be drawn with a pencil.

Next, carefully lift each layer, holding it in the center. Do the same with the next batch of napkins, only this time the circle should be of a smaller diameter. Now take one napkin and fold it: in half and in half again. Cut out the smallest circle. Now you need to glue the three parts onto the cardboard base and decorate the snowman from napkins.

Cut out a hat from colored paper, make eyes from black plasticine, and a carrot nose from orange.

DIY New Year's snowmen made from socks

It’s always interesting to give a second life to old and unnecessary things, for example, it often happens that one sock is lost and the second one can be thrown away, but we offer you a creative idea on how to do DIY New Year's snowmen made from socks, you will also need an old small children's hat, a circle of thick cardboard, cereal, and white thread. Scissors, a needle, two small buttons for the eyes, a piece of red foam rubber.

You need to put a circle of cardboard into a white sock to make the craft stable. Then pour cereal into the sock (you can take rice or buckwheat). Tie the top with white thread. Then use a thread and a needle to outline the neck, tighten it, and give it shape. In the same way, you need to make the handles.

Cut off the top of the hat and bend its edges to make a hat for a snowman. Another piece needs to be cut off for a scarf.

Now you can sew on the button eyes. If there are buttons in the shape of hearts, then you can decorate the body with them.

DIY Christmas snowmen from bottles

A bottle of liquid caramel has the right shape to make a neat snowman out of it. You also need to take white plasticine, white, gray and yellow threads (for knitting), two toothpicks, beads for the nose, black plasticine for the eyes, superglue for joining parts.

The bottle should be coated with a thin layer of plasticine. Make a hole in the middle for your hand and insert a toothpick. Next, the entire bottle must be wrapped in white yarn, pressing it against the plasticine. Fasten and trim the ends.

As a bucket, which traditionally serves as his headdress, you need to take a jar of yogurt. It must be cut to the desired height and glued on top with superglue. Next you need to glue the nose, eyes and buttons.

You can find several more ideas for creating New Year's toys using various techniques and techniques. For example, you can make balls from threads: dip the threads in glue and wrap them around an inflated balloon; when they dry, the balloon bursts, and transform the resulting ball and two more of different sizes into a snowman figurine.

Making a snowman yourself is very easy without spending a lot of money.

To do this you will need the following materials:

• Threads;
• pearl barley or rice;
• beads, rhinestones, buttons, ribbon.

Take the sock and cut off the nose part. We put it aside.

Take a large part of the sock (with the heel) and tie one side with thread. You need to tie it tightly so that there is no hole left.

Pour cereal into a sock. It is better to take pearl barley or rice, because they are light and will not show through a white sock. We fall asleep almost to the very end, leaving a little fabric so that you can tie it with thread.

We tie a sock. The result is a white ball or oval.

Place the sock on one of the sides with the bun tied (preferably the side that is thicker). We begin to wrap the filled sock with thread just above the middle. The bottom part should be larger than the top.

Let's start decorating. We tie a ribbon between the balls, which are separated by threads. The ribbon is the snowman's scarf.

We take rhinestones or beads and glue them like eyes, a nose and a mouth. It is better to glue it with adhesive moment.

Liquid glue will not work; it gets absorbed into the sock and the beads fall off.

We take the cut off nose part of the sock and make a bend. We put it on the snowman's head. It turns out to be a hat.

Two beautiful snowmen come out of a pair of socks. They turn out very cute and lift your spirits. They will be a wonderful decoration for the holiday.

Other options for a DIY snowman made from socks

How to make a very beautiful snowman from stockings

With the help of your skillful hands, another snowman will settle in your house.

Materials and tools:

• Two foam balls of the same size;
• thin red felt;
• green fuzzy wire;
• foam material, such as polystyrene foam for the stand;
• orange polymer clay (plasticine is also possible);
• red threads;
• scissors;
• glue gun;
• acrylic paints or gouache - red and black;
• brush;
• stationery knife.

We take two prepared balls and cut off small segments from them.

We divide one of the cut segments into 4 parts with a knife. We leave the middle ones, from which we will make handles.

From packaging material, polystyrene foam or polystyrene foam, we cut out a circle with a slightly larger diameter than our balls.

Carefully cut a small depression in the middle.

Lubricate with glue and install the first ball with the cut side up.

On the first ball, smearing it with glue, place the second one - cut side down.

Then cut out a rectangle from felt. The larger side of this rectangle should be equal to the circumference of our ball, and the smaller side should be equal to its diameter - this will be the cap. A long strip of felt is a scarf. Mittens - 4 parts.

We glue mittens to the handles.

We grease the felt for the hat with glue and apply it to the head.

We attach the handles.

Lubricate the scarf with glue and wrap it around the neck area.

We make a carrot out of plastic or plasticine and place it in place of the nose.

Use a red thread to tighten the cap, cut the ends of the scarf and the top of the cap.

We twist a Christmas tree from green fleecy wire.

We draw the snowman's eyes, mouth, blush on the cheeks, and buttons. We give a Christmas tree in your hand.
Our craft is ready!

DIY napkin stand with snowman

The New Year's holiday table is never complete without a hot dish. In order not to spoil a beautiful tablecloth, housewives often use special stands. But they can be made so that their appearance is in harmony with the holiday atmosphere. For example, knit them in the form of a snowman.

To knit a stand in the form of a Christmas tree toy, we will need any medium-thick yarn of any dark color (otherwise the applique will blend in with the background color), hook No. 1, white denim yarn, pieces of glue-based felt, a decorative bow, two beads, scissors .

We collect 4 air loops from dark yarn and close them into a ring with a connecting loop.

We knit the first row with single crochet stitches, inserting the tool into the hole of the ring. The number of stitches does not matter, the main thing is that the knitting does not bend. We also close the row with a connecting loop.

We also knit the next rows with single crochets. To prevent the knitting from curling at the edges, it is necessary to periodically make additions. We make additions in each row, but their number will vary depending on the numbering of the row. For example, in the second row we make 3-4 additions, in the third – 4-5 and so on. The number of increases may vary depending on the yarn, so the main thing is to ensure that the knitting does not curl and the increases are at an equal distance from each other.

The total number of rows for the base is 5-6. You can make more if you want the diameter of the stand to be larger.

In the next row, use a thread or a yellow marker to mark 4 points that are equidistant from each other. In this row we also knit single crochets, but at the points marked for us we knit three single crochets in one loop.

We knit the third row similarly to the second.

After this we will tie the edge of the stand. To do this, we attach white yarn to the edge of the circle and knit the following pattern: 3 chain loops for lifting, 1 double crochet in the same loop, 3 chain loops, “picot” from these three chain loops, 2 double crochets in the same loop.

We repeat the pattern to the end of the row, only instead of 3 chain loops we knit a double crochet.

After this, we knit single crochets in the same way as we did when knitting the warp.

Cut out a “bucket” and a “carrot” from pieces of felt with adhesive backing.

We form eyes from beads, sew all the details and glue them to the base so that we get a snowman.

The “Snowman” hot pot is ready. The author of the master class is Elena Sharygina.

In winter, in snowy weather, children enjoy rolling snowballs and then making large and small snowmen from them. It immediately becomes clear to everyone that the basis of such a craft should be balls of different sizes. If you transfer this object to paper, be sure to show the round parts. They can be easily drawn with a compass. But what to do if the child is still small, he does not know how to handle a compass at all, and this sharp object is dangerous for him.

Another thing is toilet paper tubes. The rolls make quite decent crafts. Naturally, the paper on top is gray, but it can be covered with a white sheet. And you can even not use a gray fragment, but immediately make a thin long cylinder from white cardboard.

Thus, to show a snowman figurine, it is not necessary to cut out 2-3 circles. You can make a white cylinder and add distinctive details - a long carrot nose, skis, a broom. All this develops the child’s imagination and makes it possible to use non-standard materials and techniques to perform unusual crafts.

What to prepare to make a paper snowman:

• white paper and a roll of toilet paper for the body;
• orange paper for the spout;
• yellow and blue paper for headphones;
• black paper for skis;
• branches and tape for a broom;
• scissors;
• glue;
• red and black pens or markers.

Make a white cylinder - the basis of the whole craft. This will be a complete blank for the entire torso of the snowman. Either stick a white sheet onto the gray surface of the roll, or use white cardstock. Cut a strip of cardboard, roll it into a cylinder, and secure it with glue or a stapler. This way, the central part will be single, smooth and even, and not consisting of separate circles.

Make an orange nose in the shape of a cone, it will look like a carrot. Take a circle and make a cut along the radius. Holding with your fingers, twist to get the desired part, glue the ends of the cone. Draw round eyes with pupils on a white roll with a black pen, and a wide mouth with a red pen. Now there is a face on the cylinder.

Lubricate the base of the cone generously with glue. Glue the nose to the face.

Cut out blanks from prepared paper: black skis, a blue stripe and 2 yellow circles for headphones. Gather several short branches into a bundle and wrap the base with tape. The result will be an imitation of a broom, which is usually inserted into the hands of snowmen who are sculpted from snow on the street.

Glue a blue stripe at the top of the cylinder on the sides. Mask the ends of the stripes with yellow circles on top. The headphones are ready.

Glue the broom to the side using tape or a piece of paper. The figurine seems to be holding her in his hands.

Now place the entire structure on the skis. To glue them, use additional pieces of paper or tape.

The little paper snowman is ready. He rushes through the snowdrifts and celebrates the New Year. You can also entrust him with a letter for Santa Claus, which he will definitely deliver to the recipient. In winter we see a snowman in the yard, and we will see another small copy on the shelf after repeating this lesson.

This children's craft in the form of a snowman is completed without much effort, so it is perfect for the youngest children. Everyone knows the sculpting technique, because creating snowmen and snowmen is a favorite activity for all children in winter. There are a lot of snowdrifts outside during the cold season, so you’re tempted to go out into the yard, go sledding, and play in the snow. And at home no one forbids you to engage in interesting creativity.

In this lesson we will not only create an interesting figurine, but also decorate it at our own discretion, because plasticine allows you to realize any fantasy. After reading this master class, you will not need to look for new ideas for winter creativity; you will definitely love this kind of work.

To create a plasticine snowman craft, prepare:

• white plasticine;
• black, orange, red, blue, brown plasticine, but in small quantities;
• match and toothpick.

Select a white block from the set. It is exactly what resembles real snow – just as pliable, easily deformed into clumps. But plasticine is not cold at all, it will never melt, it can even be moistened with water. Of course, you won’t be able to play snowballs, but you can do something unusual.

Cut off 2 pieces, leave a little for the limbs (no one forbids making arms and legs for our snowman). Roll 2 balls for the head and body. These two parts will be enough to form the figure.

Stretch your torso slightly. Prepare a match for connection. This small detail will not only hold it together, but also make the figure movable.

Connect the figurine's head and body. Using the head of a match, press the eyes onto the ball-head. Instead of the usual bucket that children can put on the snowman's head in the yard, make other accessories. Let these be bright headphones.

Make a thin blue strip and glue it onto your head in a half-arc. Glue red cakes on the sides of the strip. These headphones are a winter fashion trend. And they also suit a snowman very well.

Fill the eyes pressed out by the match head with black plasticine. Glue the nose. It can be either a carrot or a wide bright ball. Make a mouth and blush. The cheerful face of the charming snowman is ready, he smiles at us, and therefore we need to immediately move on to further stages.

Glue bright red buttons onto the front part of the body and press them down with the tip of a toothpick. After that, use a toothpick to create a broom. The snowman usually stands at a post in the yard, with a broom inserted into his branch hands.

Glue several brown threads to one end of the stick and press it around the circumference with your fingers. Make oblong arms and legs. It's better if they are small. The main part of the craft is the torso and head.

The snowman turned out to be mischievous and festive, bright and noticeable. Place the broom in his hands and sit him under the small tabletop Christmas tree. The New Year is rushing to visit us, with such a sentry we will not miss the most interesting things, we will definitely prepare for the holiday and have fun.

Nature tirelessly imagines in winter and sends us tens, hundreds, thousands of snowflakes from above. Scientists who have examined them under a microscope say they are all different. Of course, it’s hard for us to believe this, because snowflakes are so small, so delicate, they instantly melt from a light touch or breath.

And we, too, can experiment and create something unique; we don’t even need to look at snowflakes under a microscope for a long time and look for certain distinctive features. We have at our disposal all kinds of materials for creativity: plasticine, paper, threads, felt, beads and much more.

Start with what you understand, the easiest. Children love plasticine very much, and therefore they will gladly agree to make some kind of craft from it, especially if it is.

To create a snowflake like the one suggested here, prepare:

• plasticine;
• stack.

How to make an elegant snowflake

The proposed snowflake is creative, not similar to the white and blue crafts that have become traditional for us. Why not use brown color, it is so similar to chocolate, which children love, which will definitely be in gifts on New Year's Eve, on the branches of the Christmas tree, on the festive table.

Is it possible to refuse the sweetest delicacy? However, we can add additional white elements; moreover, we can also time the image on the snowflake to coincide with the New Year. For example, it will be a snowman - the middle of a snowflake and fluffy twigs - rays.

Make the body of a snowflake from a brown portion of plasticine. At first it will be a round cake, press it firmly onto a hard surface, smooth it out on top. Also show 6 rays using stacks. Press the cake around the circumference in 6 places. It is enough to make light cuts.

Make a very thin white cake, much smaller in size. Also go around the edge of the stack. Glue it in the center. Add another white cake and join it to the previous piece. This will be the head of the snowman, but first we prepared the body. The figurine consists of two parts.

Place a New Year's hat on your head. It is not difficult to make if you have red and green plasticine on hand. Glue an imitation of a bright cap with a green trim on your head. Add bubo.

Now you need to somehow decorate your craft, make snowflake rays. Glue small pellets along the edge of the body cake, pierce each with a sharp stick. Glue a twig of white thin plasticine threads onto each ray. Make an imitation of spruce needles using a stack.

Glue spruce branches along each ray. The more magnificent the design, the better. Add a bright scarf to the snowman to prevent him from freezing at night, and decorate with buttons. Glue black eyes and a nose in the shape of a carrot. The figure looks elegant and winter-like.

An interesting plasticine snowflake is ready. Using the same scenario, it’s easy to make other crafts that are bright and stand out against the general background; you can depict not only snowmen on them, but also Santa Claus, the Snow Maiden, a Christmas tree, a deer and other holiday images.

DIY snowman “Skier”

How to make a snowman from felt

In this master class, I propose to sew an interesting felt toy for the New Year with your own hands.

To sew a New Year's toy we will need:

• soft felt (blue or blue, white, a little red for the nose);
• blue or blue floss threads;
• two buttons;
• filling for a snowman (sintepon, holofiber);
• beads or beads for eyes;
• lace.

Using a compass, we draw three circles with a diameter of 5 cm, 4 cm and 3 cm. Using these patterns, we cut out two circles, one of which has a small square at the top, in order to make it convenient to sew the circles to each other.

We take two large circles and sew them together, gradually filling them with filler.

We put two more circles on top, which are slightly smaller, and also sew them together, filling them with filler.

We do the same with the third circle.

Cut out a strip of blue felt for a scarf, 1 cm wide and the length of a snowman.

Place the scarf on the snowman and sew a button in the middle of the scarf.

Sew another button between the bottom circles.

You can make small cuts at the edge of the scarf with scissors.

Cut out a small triangle from red felt for the nose and sew it to the face.

Sew on small beads for the eyes.

For the handles, cut out small circles about 1 cm in diameter and sew them on.

Cut out two squares 1 cm by 1 cm for the boots.

We trim the edges of the squares so that we get triangles and sew them to the snowman.

At the top of the snowman we cut a hole with a ripper to thread the string through.

We thread the lace through the hole.

The snowman is ready, all that remains is to hang it on the Christmas tree or give it to someone as a souvenir.

How to knit the Snowman applique

Not a single New Year is complete without a snowman. And in this master class we will knit a flat applique in the form of this wizard! The product can be hung in your home or workplace to remind you of the upcoming holiday and instill a cheerful mood.

To knit such an applique we will need:

• Yarn in red, white, black and peach (beige) colors;
• Hook 1.75 mm;
• Scissors.

For applique, it is better to use thin yarn. “Children's Novelty” yarn is suitable. It is better to use a hook no larger than 2 mm.

Let's start knitting with peach-colored yarn, since we will first knit the face for Santa Claus.

We form a ring of 6 loops, but do not close it.

Make 1 lifting loop and unroll the knitting. Next we will knit 2 sc in each loop.

Then we make 1 lifting loop again and knit with an increase through 1 loop.

We turn around and make 3 lifting loops. Then we knit another 4 dc at the same point. In the next loop we make 1 sc. We skip 1 loop and perform 5 dc in the new one.

So we will continue knitting until the end.

The beard is tied, now let's start making the hat.

For this we need red yarn.

We join from above into a peach loop from one edge and knit along the peach loops. We simply do 1 sc.

Gradually the cap will narrow. In order for the edges to be even, we will make a sc stitch binding.

We will embroider the eyes with black thread, and we will embroider the nose with peach thread.

Now take the white thread again and make a few horizontal stitches under the nose. And make 1 vertical stitch in the center of the horizontal ones.

The hat is ready, but you can decorate it with a voluminous pompom.

To do this, we attach a thread to the very top central loop on the hat. We dial 10 VP. Next we join with a white thread to the last ch. We will now knit a lush stitch of 5 yarn overs. But we do not knit the yarn overs all at once, but 2 loops at a time. At the end we knit 1 ss.

This is how we knitted a pompom for the hat. We tighten the thread and cut it. We hide all the tails between the loops on the left side of the applique.

Time goes by very quickly and, despite the fact that there is no smell of snow now, the winter months will not take long to arrive! New Year 2020 is coming soon, the symbol of which is the White Rat. Pragmatic people prepare for everything in advance, maybe we should learn this too, so that the holiday does not take us by surprise. By the New Year, stores begin selling a variety of toys. But to decorate your home for the holiday, you can not only buy ready-made accessories, but also make them yourself. A DIY snowman is an original toy that makes the atmosphere festive.

Snowman made of corrugated paper
