Master Class. Volumetric applique “Snowman” made from napkins. Volumetric applique “Cheerful Snowman Plastic cups – let’s turn them into a snowman

The winter holidays are coming very soon, and it’s time to pick up master classes on which you can make a snowman with your own hands for the New Year 2018 for kindergarten or school - from paper, from thread, from cotton pads, from socks and from other improvised materials.

Winter and New Year are all things that children look forward to. For kids, a festive tree, gifts, fluffy snow, winter fun, snowmen and snowballs are the most desirable winter entertainment. And we offer to learn how to make a snowman with your own hands for the New Year. You can make a wonderful snow beauty from the materials you have at home, together with your child, and decorate a room, a Christmas tree, or for handicraft competitions in kindergarten or school.

In order to create an adorable snowman with your own hands for the New Year from socks, there are several ways. All of them are based on the fact that part of any sock is fastened on one side and filler is stuffed into the sock. And then you need to pull the socks in the middle, tie them at the top and decorate them.

The article will provide several variations with tips and descriptions to make the creative process more exciting and fruitful. We will try to make funny snowmen from various materials, from everything that can be found at home:

• socks;
• plastic cups;
• paper;
• disks;
• thread

Let's start! The first master class is dedicated to a snowman made from simple socks.

Snowman made from socks

In order to make such a beauty yourself you need:

1. Socks. You need to take white ones for the snowman’s body and you can take colored ones for the cap and clothes.
2. Threads with a needle.
3. Glue gun.
4. Paints and brush.
5. Beads.
6. Felt.
7. Sintepon.
8. Scissors.

Now look at several collections of photos with step-by-step instructions for a DIY snowman for the New Year:

Step-by-step photos of making a snowman from socks

Pretty simple instructions, not a complicated process, amazing results. This is all a formula for success for creativity with children. You can decorate a snowman made from socks to your taste, completely different from the one in the photo. Here you can use your imagination and use any material you find at home.

Video tutorial on making snowmen:

We use threads

Next, we will describe two options for how to make a snowman with your own hands for the New Year from threads. One of them is quite simple. This is a snowman made from pompoms, which can be made for a competition for school or kindergarten. For it we need:

• white threads. Here it is better to take acrylic or wool mixture;
• half beads for eyes and decorations;
• ribbon or decorative braid;
• fluffy wire. It is sold at any craft store;
• twigs for pens;
• glue. You can use a hot glue gun or Moment Crystal instant glue.

Now let's start creating a fluffy snowman:

1. Initially you need to make 2 pompoms from threads. To do this, take 2 cardboards. One is wider, the other is a little narrower, since we need to make one large pom-pom, the other smaller. You need to wrap as much thread as possible on these cardboards. The pomp of the pompom depends on the number of threads. Then we stretch the thread inside the wound threads, tie it at one end, and cut the other. We get two pompoms for the bottom and top of the snowman.
2. Now you need to tie both pompoms together using the tails of the threads.
3. Our snowman is ready. All that remains is to glue on his eyes and nose, buttons and branches on the sides of the handle.
4. We tie a ribbon scarf to the snowman. Before this, the edges of the tape must be cut in a special way. To do this, fold the tape lengthwise and cut it diagonally from the middle to the tip, unfold the tape, and lightly scorch the edges with a lighter.
5. Now we make headphones from fluffy wire. Let's bend it as shown in the picture and put it on the snowman's head.

Step-by-step photos of making New Year's snowmen

• white threads. This snowman requires knitting cotton;
• PVA glue;
• air balloons;
• twigs for pens;
• buttons for eyes and for decoration;
• paper or felt for the hat;
• a piece of fabric for a scarf;
• hot glue.

When everything is ready, we begin to make an openwork thread snowman:

1. Inflate two balloons. We make one large, the second smaller.
2. Pour PVA glue into a bowl and soak the threads there.
3. After that, we immediately begin to wind the threads in glue onto the ball in a random order, chaotically.
4. When both balls are wrapped with thread, leave them to dry. It's better to leave the balls overnight.
5. When the threads are dry, you need to burst the balls and carefully pull them out.
6. Now we glue both balls, the small one on top of the large one.
7. At the bottom of the large ball, cut off the rounded part with scissors so that the snowman stands steadily.
8. Glue handles from twigs to the snowman.
9. We cut out the hat, glue its parts and put it on the top of the snowman’s head, securing it with glue.
10. Now we need to glue buttons in the form of eyes onto the snowman’s body for decoration.
11. We make a carrot out of paper or felt and glue it in place of the spout.
12. We make a scarf from a piece of fabric and tie it to the snowman.

It should be noted that the process is quite labor-intensive, since you need to carefully make the balls themselves from threads in glue, but when this stage is completed and the balls have dried, all that remains is a pleasant job that you can do together with the kids.

Such a snowman, made with your own hands for the New Year 2018, will be very good for an exhibition or decoration for a kindergarten or school group.

Original ideas made from paper

Paper crafting is a very simple and surprisingly enjoyable activity. Kids really love this type of creativity. For the New Year, you can make a snowman out of paper with your own hands. Below are several options for ideas with a step-by-step description of their implementation. Let's see how you can make amazing snowmen from plain paper or paper napkins.

Snowman made from palms for a school competition

• white, blue, orange paper;
• pencil;
• scissors;
• glue.

Let's get started:

1. On white paper you need to circle your palms and cut them out. You need to make as many of these palms as possible.
2. From blue paper we cut out a cap - a triangle and three snowflakes for buttons.
3. Now we glue the palms. You need to make 3 circles out of them: 1 large, 1 smaller and small.
4. Glue all three circles together.
5. Now we glue the cap on top and snowflakes in place of the buttons.
6. The nose, eyes and smile can be cut out of colored paper and pasted, or drawn with paints or felt-tip pens.

The snowman made from palms is ready. It can be attached to the wall of a child’s room or in a kindergarten group.

Snowman made from paper napkins

Let's prepare everything we need:

• white paper napkins;
• pencil;
• scissors;
• glue gun;
• three foam balls of different sizes;
• skewers or toothpicks for connecting the balls together;
• buttons for eyes;
• felt or paper orange cone for the spout;
• twigs for pens.

Let's start tinkering:

1. Napkins need to be cut into squares.
2. Cut off the bottom of the largest ball so that the bottom is flat for stability.
3. Now we cover each ball with napkins. We will glue using the trimming technique. To do this, twist a square of napkin onto the other end of a pencil or any wooden stick. Dip it into PVA glue and apply it to the ball. So we cover all the balls. Glue all the elements close to each other, so the balls will turn out fluffier.
4. Then glue the balls one on top of the other.
5. We attach the branches - arms and eyes with a nose.

The paper napkin snowman is ready. You can decorate it to your liking, put a scarf or hat on it.

Look at some more photos with ideas on how you can make a snowman with your own hands for the New Year:

Applications with snowmen

Surprisingly, applique can be made not from paper. Below is a step-by-step master class on how to make a snowman with your own hands for the New Year from cotton pads, which you can send to a competition at school or kindergarten. This will be a beautiful New Year's applique. The child himself will be happy to do it, but under the supervision of his parents.

To tell your child what to do, let’s take a closer look at how to do this. Let's get ready first:

• cotton pads. We will make a snowman and snowdrifts from them;
• thick cardboard for the base. It can be any color. Blue, cyan or purple will be very good;
• glue. You can use PVA or any other for paper;
• colored paper;
• scissors.

Now let's begin:

1. On the cardboard base we glue a snowman made of three or two cotton pads. Just glue the disks one on top of the other. You can make one or two such snowmen on one cardboard.
2. Now you need to paint the snowman. Cut out a cap, eyes and nose from colored paper. Cut out the scarf and handles with mittens. We glue all the details onto the snowman.
3. We will also paste snowdrifts from halves of cotton pads onto the panel of snowmen. You can cut out rectangles of houses and glue them to the sides, drawing the windows with a felt-tip pen.

The child can dream up his own imagination and come up with something to add to the applique. It could be the sun, clouds, and so on.

In addition, cotton pads can be used to make an excellent toy. You can hang it on the Christmas tree or decorate it with a Christmas wreath, walls and so on. Let's get ready for work:

• cotton pads;
• threads with a needle;
• a little padding polyester;
• felt;
• a pair of beads for eyes;
• glue. It is better to use a second Crystal Moment.

Now let's get started:

1. Let's take 2 disks for the lower part and 2 for the upper. We will cut the ones for the top a little in a circle, making them smaller in diameter.
2. Now you need to sew the parts together with a seam over the edge. But let's leave a little unstitched edge for filling and sewing them together.
3. Let's fill both parts with padding polyester.
4. Let's put them together one on one where there is an unsewn gap and sew them up.
5. Now let's decorate. We cut out a cap from felt and sew it to the snowman on the top of the head using the same seam.
6. Next we will glue the beads - eyes. Cut out a triangle of orange felt and glue it in place of the spout.
7. We will cut out a strip of felt - a scarf and tie it to the snowman.
8. You can make decorations by cutting out leaves and berries from colored felt and sticking them on the snowman.

This beauty can be hung on a Christmas tree by attaching a string to it or used to decorate a wreath or for other purposes.

Plastic cups - turn them into a snowman

Now let’s make a snowman with our own hands for the New Year 2018 from cups, ordinary plastic disposable cups.

This DIY snowman will turn out to be quite large. They can decorate an apartment, a group in a kindergarten, a classroom at school. You can place a garland inside and then the snowman will glow. But let's talk about everything in detail and in order.

Let's prepare everything for work:

1. Plastic cups. For one snowman we need as many cups as large as you need the snowman. For a big snowman you need quite a lot. The first row alone will take 25 cups.
2. Stapler and staples for connecting cups.
3. You can take a real hat and scarf and then dress up the figurine.
4. For the eyes, you can take balls equal in size to the neck of the glass. We'll paint them black and put them in the cup itself in the right places.
5. Glue the nose into a carrot-shaped cone from orange felt.
6. We will also need a glue gun.

Let's get started:

1. Lay out the first row like this. Place the cups in a circle with the bottom inward and the neck outward. We fasten the glasses together with a stapler. We make several rows in this way, each subsequent one is smaller than the previous one, since we place the glasses between those in the previous row.
2. Now let's make the head. The first row for the ball under the head consists of 18 cups. We do everything exactly the same.
3. Then we attach the head to the body with a stapler.
4. Now we insert the balls - eyes. We will first paint them black and attach them with glue.
5. Then we attach the spout.
6. We tie a scarf and put a cap on top. For reliability, secure with glue.
7. You can place a garland inside or leave the snowman like that.

The snowman can be decorated to your liking. You can attach twigs to him as handles and “give” a broom in his hands. You can attach a wide felt strap to the snowman, or a real one if you can find the right size. Attach it with a stapler.

You can make buttons from exactly the same balls by attaching them to the neck of the glass in suitable places. Or cut out snowflakes from colored paper and glue them to the snowman anywhere, as if real snow fluffs lay on top of our handsome man.

You can make such a snowman for a competition for school or kindergarten!

Another wonderful snowman that you can make with your own hands for the New Year is presented in the video below:

These cute snowmen were recently made in kindergarten. I really liked the idea. A few napkins, a sheet of cardboard - and now you have a fluffy, embossed snowman made from napkins with your own hands!

Moreover, even kids can make a snowman out of paper napkins. And it will be not only interesting, but also useful! Shall we try?

Needed:

• white paper napkins;
• A5 size cardboard – blue or light blue;
• colored paper, scissors with rounded tips;
• PVA glue.

How to make a snowman from napkins:

I was very surprised when suddenly... they gave me homework in kindergarten! Yes, DZ is here now! But it turned out to be cool and interesting: parents who came to pick up their children at kindergarten were given several napkins with a request to roll a lot of small balls out of these napkins for tomorrow. The parents, of course, didn’t “get it” right away, but they were reassured: “The children know, they will show you how to do it.”

And so we sat down in the evening and rolled out napkin balls together. This is done like this: tear off the edge of the napkin, squeeze it into a ball with your fingers and roll it into a ball. There is no need to make large ones, the size of a pea will do just fine. An activity for fine motor skills - just what you need! Just as exciting and useful as sorting through cereals, sculpting or finger painting.

Tomorrow everyone brought their “homework” to kindergarten and during class they made an applique of snowmen: on a sheet of cardboard we draw the silhouette of a snowman - three circles, grease it with glue and fill it with snowballs.

And we prepared the balls at home, because the kids wouldn’t have time to make them during class. After all, when the silhouette of three fluffy circles is ready, you still need to complement it with accessories: cut it out of colored paper and glue two ember eyes, a carrot nose, a bucket and a broom.

The snowmen made from napkins turned out very cute - fluffy, like real snow, and when you touch them they are not cold, but pleasant! And everyone is different, each with their own facial expression, silhouette, their own character! I liked them even more than

Decorating a Christmas tree is a fun activity for both adults and children. But it’s even more interesting to dress up the New Year’s beauty with toys made with your own hands. This DIY snowman toy will attract the attention of both children and adults. It doesn't require much. A DIY snowman can become both a Christmas tree toy and a fun applique for a postcard. In our case, this is a Christmas tree toy.

So, how to make a snowman with your own hands. We will need:
· Napkins (white – 4 pcs., yellow-brown, red – 1 pc.).
· Narrow ribbon (12 cm).
· Cardboard (1 sheet).
· Scissors.
· Compass.
· Stapler.
· PVA glue".

Step-by-step instruction

We make a snowman figurine out of cardboard. The head is a circle with a diameter of 6 cm, the body is a circle of 4 cm, the hat is 3 cm high.

Fold white napkins and yellow napkins into quarters.

From white napkins we cut out two circles with a diameter of 6 cm and 4 cm. From a yellow napkin - two squares with a side of 3 cm.

We connect the layers of napkins by punching them in the middle with a stapler so that the staples are crosswise.

We make cuts along the edge with a depth of 1 cm.

Lift the top layer and compress it around the center. We do the same with the remaining layers. You can lift and press 2-3 layers at once.

Glue the napkins onto the cardboard figure on both sides.

Tear off small pieces from a brown and red napkin and roll them up. Lay out the eyes, mouth, nose and glue.

We make hands from two strips of brown napkin.

We make buttons by rolling circles from pieces of red and yellow napkin.

Attach the loop of tape using glue or a stapler.

Or you can tie a colored scarf from a yellow or red napkin to a snowman.

The napkin snowman is ready. May the New Year holiday be joyful with him!

Progress of the lesson

Introductory conversation.

Coal eyes and a carrot nose,
I love the New Year and the prickly frost.
Go out into the yard with your friends,
Blind the same friend from the snow.

Who is the poem talking about?

Which one of you made a snowman? How did you do it?

Children's statements.

Let's make a paper snowman today!

How can this be done?

Children's suggestions: applique, folding.

I suggest making a snowman out of paper napkins.

I’ll show you how to make “lumps” from napkins. We will need a simple pencil, circle templates, a stapler and scissors.

Making a snowman. Getting to know new technology.

Materials and tools are distributed.

Watch carefully and do as I do.

Step-by-step demonstration of work.

Operating procedure:

Separate the napkins into layers. Take 2 layers, fold each into four and place on top of each other in an even stack.

Using the templates, draw three circles on the top side of the stack.

Using a stapler, fasten the middle of each circle with two staples crosswise.

Cut circles from napkins. Don't throw away the trimmings!

Form them into lush hemispheres. To do this, each layer of the napkin, except the bottom one, needs to be separated from the rest and gathered with your fingers in the center.

Then lightly fluff the resulting lump.

Picture 1

-The “lumps” are ready, now we will create a snowman. How can I do that?

Children's statements: stick napkin "clumps" onto cardboard.

Sheets of cardboard and glue are distributed.

Children glue on the details.

What else does a snowman need?

Children's statements: hands, bucket, eyes, carrot nose, etc.

The order of further work is discussed and determined.

Making a bucket.

From the selected piece of colored paper (leftover from previous lessons), mark and cut out a square with a side of 6 cm according to the template and fold the familiar classic origami model “Cup”.

Working with children's memory:

Who remembers how to fold a “cup”?

What basic shape is it made from?

How to mark the point to which we will bend the side corner?

How to secure folded corners?

How to add volume to a glass and make it round?

Work according to the pattern of folding the product (if none of the students can remember making a cup).

The drawing (drawing) of each folding stage is examined and read.

The teacher's questions are approximately the same.

Note: at the end of folding, we hide the last corner, bent outward, inside the cup. Then we give it a three-dimensional shape.

Glue the finished bucket onto the snowman's head.

Making carrots for the nose.

The carrot is an origami “Claw” model folded from orange or red double-sided paper. Square with side 2 cm.

The work is structured similarly to the work of making a bucket.

Making eyes.

What are snowmen's eyes made of? (From coals.)

Pre-cut squares of black corrugated paper are distributed.

How to make “coals” from these squares?

The teacher demonstrates the technique of twisting a ball with the thumb and forefinger.

Face design.

Children stick a nose, eyes and mouth on their face.

Making hands.

What are snowmen's hands usually made of? (From sticks, branches.)

Cut strips of black corrugated paper are distributed.

How to turn these strips of paper into stick hands? (Twist into a flagellum.)

The teacher or one of the children demonstrates the technique of twisting a flagellum.

Children twist the “arms”, bend them at the elbow and glue them to the snowman.

Making feet (legs).

How are snowman feet made? (They make small lumps of snow.)

We will also roll up lumps of napkins with our palms. So the trimmings came in handy for us! And so that the lumps do not fall apart and are smoother, we will wrap them in a piece of napkin and turn them over.

The manufacturing technique is demonstrated.

Making feet and gluing them to the snowman.

Snowmen are ready! Let's take a break and warm up.

Physical education minute.

Children perform actions to the words of the poem:

We are not afraid of powder,
We catch snow-clap in our hands.
Hands to the sides, at the seams.
There's enough snow for us and you!

Snowman design.

The snowmen are ready, but so far they are all very similar. How to make your snowman different from others? Or maybe not everyone made snowmen, perhaps among them there are snow women or girls - snow maidens?

We are the snow woman
Made yesterday
And the woman's hat
Was from a bucket,
And the nose is made of carrots,
And the hands are made of sticks,
Broom - from a broom,
And the braid is made from a washcloth:
(Yuri Kushak)

Children's statements.

Designing a broom.

What is a broom made of? (A broom knitted from twigs and a straight stick).

What kind of paper will we make the rods from? (Twist thin flagella from corrugated paper).

How to make an even “stick”?

You can roll a thin tube from a strip of colored paper. We will screw it onto the rod of a ballpoint pen.

The teacher demonstrates the technique of twisting a tube.

The rod is applied to the corner of the paper strip at an angle of about 30?. First apply a drop of glue to the opposite corner of the strip.

After winding the strip around the rod, secure the end with glue.

Figure 2

The necessary paper is distributed. Children make "rods" and a "stick" for a broom.

How to attach rods to a stick? (Glue, tie).

For a real broom, the rods are first tied with wire or rope into a broom, then I put it on the broom. Our paper broom has rods that can be folded around a stick and tied with thread. You can also glue it at the binding site. This work must be done in pairs: one holds the rods and a stick, the other ties them.

The teacher, paired with one of the students, shows how to assemble a broom.

Manufacturing of accessories

Scythe. (During production, you will most likely need the help of a teacher.)

Who knows how to braid? How is it woven? (The hair is divided into three strands and braided).

For a paper braid, take a strip of corrugated paper of a suitable color, cut it twice lengthwise, not reaching the end by about 1 cm. The resulting strip-strands are woven into a braid and tied with a rope made of corrugated paper of a different color.

Scarf. Colored corrugated paper 1x12cm. Cut the ends of the strip into fringes.

The beads are made from rolled balls of corrugated paper.

Background. The cardboard around the snowman is decorated with small paper snowflakes.

Selection of necessary materials and independent production of additional accessories.

Closing conversation.

Children show off their completed works.

What interesting snowmen you made! Everyone is so cute and different.

Who can please with such work? Who should I give it to?

Children's statements. (For New Year's to mother, sister, brother, grandmother, etc.)

You can give it as simple as a beautiful winter picture, or make a card with this snowman, write congratulations and wishes.

A postcard can talk
Beautiful and kind words.
She knows how to give joy
She stays with us for a long time.

A congratulation from a snowman could be like this:

Happy New Year!
With winter snowy weather,
Happy clear days
With skis, skates,
With the New Year's tree,
With joy, fun!

Note.

This work can be used in classes with children of senior preschool age and students in grades 1-4 in extracurricular activities or in technology lessons.

Completion time 2 hours.

For preschoolers, some details can be simplified. For example, do not fold a carrot from a square, but simply cut it out. Give all squares and strips of paper ready-made (marked and cut out). I recommend using the broom with students in grades 3-4.
