How to make a snowman. Product made from cups. Snowman made of crumpled paper, master class with photo

And today I want to show you many ideas for homemade snowmen. All of them can be made with your own hands from scrap materials. You might even be surprised what opportunities are hidden in ordinary socks and plastic cups.

The main thing is to do all the crafts with the children, this way you will create community in the family and unforgettable memories. Of course, not all crafts will be easy; there are some that will require accuracy and perseverance. But what will be the result!

ABOUT! Now let's do something very interesting! Specifically, let's make a cute snowman out of a sock. This is very simple craft, even a preschooler can handle it. Such a handsome man looks very neat and dignified. Basically, let's find a pair of white, blue or light blue socks with the toes and heels intact. And let's reserve 15 minutes of time.

Before I give you detailed master class, please find beads or pins for the eyes and nose, buttons, ribbons or other decor. I want the craft to turn out elegant.

And we will make such a handsome man.

Let's take:

• 1 sock,
• thermal gun or glue,
• scissors,
• pins,
• buttons,
• thread.

First of all, cut the sock in half.

We take the part that has two open ends. And we tie the thread on one side. This must be done from the wrong side.

Now we hide the knot inside, turning the sock outward, and pour rice inside.

You can use any large grain - peas, buckwheat, lentils, etc.

Now we need to make sure that the cereal does not spill out of the workpiece. Therefore, we tie the top of the sock tightly.

All that remains is to mark the place where the head will be. To do this, we tighten it with threads.

The preparation already resembles a craft. All we have to do is decorate it and put on a hat.

The cap can be fixed using hot glue. To do this, the second part of the sock needs to be folded up and put on the craft.

There is another very functional idea for a snowman made from a sock. Here it performs both a decorative and useful function.

Let's take:

• sock,
• hot glue,
• bottle,
• cotton wool or synthetic winterizer,
• threads, felt for a hat.

It is better to take a glass bottle rather than a plastic one. This way it will be more stable and will not fall under the weight of pencils or flowers.

So, the first thing you need to do is measure the height of the bottle and put it on your toe. All excess must be cut off from it.

Then apply a drop of hot glue from a hot glue gun to the bottom of the bottle and put the sock on the bottle. This is how we fixed the fabric and glass.

Now you need to make the craft soft and voluminous. To do this, place cotton wool or padding polyester in the space between the sock and the walls of the bottle.

We form the head with threads.

Tighten the edge of the sock at the neck. We also do this with threads. Then we designate the nose, eyes and mouth. The child can take markers for this purpose.

From felt we cut out a ring and a strip that is equal to the diameter of the inner part of the ring.

Glue the hat in place.

This craft can act as a pencil holder or a vase. Everything is to your taste.

More similar master class creation of the popular snowman Olaf. The first scheme I described was taken as a basis.

From such crafts you can create entire compositions.

Beads, ribbons, braid, sequins and even pine cones are used for decoration.

And if you wish, you can sharpen up and move away from the templates.

This beauty will definitely deserve its due place of honor under the tree.

How to make a craft from plastic cups, step-by-step instructions

Another popular idea for creating a snowman is from plastic cups. The craft is voluminous and resistant to rain, snow and winds. Therefore, it is often made to decorate the yard, street, or as a decoration for school.

Again, everything is quite simple and clear. However, it takes a lot of time, because you need to process a lot of cups.

Let's take:

• cups,
• stapler,
• cardboard,
• scotch.

So, you will need more than 200 cups. Stock up in advance. The circumference is up to you. The more you lay out the first circle, the wider the ball will be.

So, we lay out a circle from the cups. Then we use a stapler to fasten each piece to its neighbors.

We make subsequent rows in the same way, but reducing the number of glasses. Don’t forget to connect the rows with a stapler.

You need to make 2 balls. One is more, the other is less.

We connect them together so that the smaller piece is higher - this is the head.

Now we make the nose out of cardboard. To do this, roll it into a cone shape and cover it with tape. If this is an outdoor craft, then you need to completely cover all the cardboard.

We insert the nose into the glass and decorate the snowman with scarves, vests or hats.

But you can make even less out of cups voluminous toys. All you have to do is turn them upside down and decorate them beautifully.

What do you think of the idea? I think that all this is very simple, however, it greatly inspires the creation of such crafts.

DIY snowman for the New Year made of thread and glue

Children will also love the idea of ​​threads and PVA glue. Let's take the usual ones as a basis. air balloons. The technique is quite simple; we have already made crafts based on it before.

Let's take:

• threads,
• PVA glue,
• ball,
• paper.

We need to inflate the balloon to the size we need. Then we take out threads and PVA glue. It is better to take it in large jars. Now there are two options: You can wrap the threads around the ball, simultaneously coating each row with glue. Or you can use knitting needles to poke a hole in a tube of glue and thread a thread through it. This way it will immediately be saturated with the composition and easily stick to the ball.

Then we leave the ball to dry completely. After 6-12 hours, burst the rubber shell and carefully tear it off the threads. The result is a ball shape! We need at least two of these balls.

Now let's make carrots. To do this, roll the cardboard into a cone and wrap it with cling film. And according to the described scheme we wrap it with orange threads and glue. Dry it, take out the cone and peel off the polyethylene from the threads. All that remains is the decor.

You can combine entire compositions from such crafts.

Original volumetric paper snowman and other ideas

Now let's take paper and think about what can be made from it. And there are a great many ideas at once!

We will do several options. And first of all I want to show you this volumetric craft. The entire process of its creation is shown in detail in the photo.

Master class No. 1

You will need two A4 sheets to draw a snowman and a picture of trees. This is applied to different leaves to achieve a volume effect.

Then take two blue sheets of cardboard. One will act as the background, and the other as the front frame.

We also fold six sheets of A4 wide (short side) like an accordion. They will be the frame to which all the sheets are glued.

And now from complex to simple. A couple more master classes in the photo that kids can easily repeat.

Master class No. 2

Master class No. 3

Now the idea is more complex, but no less attractive.

Master class No. 4

You can make such a voluminous snowman using this pattern. The fold is made along the dotted lines. And the part is cut out along straight lines. The edges with “indents” are intended for gluing.

And here is the assembly diagram itself.

I think that all the kids will be delighted by the snowman on the window! There are many stencils and protrusions for cutting.

You can create entire compositions.

Like here, I will attach a template below. It is most convenient to glue such paper figures on toothpaste or paste. They are then easily washed off with water.

You can make many different pendants and garlands from paper, cardboard and felt.

It is convenient to connect them together with threads, wire or double-sided tape.

That's not all! Now we will find a use for paper towel and toilet paper rolls.

We draw eyes, carrots and mouths on them. Glue on the hats and scarves and enjoy such a quick and cute craft.

If desired, the bushings can be covered with corrugated paper, colored sheets or fabric.

You can also make applications. To do this, take the drawings that I have given below and color them. Or we fill the voids with plasticine and colored sugar. For small children, you can take different cereals.

These are such cute ideas!

Master classes on cotton wool crafts

Our house is full of cotton wool. It somehow ceased to be used for its intended purpose with the advent of cotton pads. But it’s great for New Year’s crafts!

So, let's make a snowman from cotton wool, and below are ideas for creating one from cotton pads.

Let's take:

• cotton wool,
• kebab skewer,
• PVA glue,
• decor.

First of all, we form two balls of different sizes from cotton wool. We simply roll the fiber in our hands.

Now we need to prevent these balls from falling apart. To do this, coat them with PVA glue. And to keep them together, you can use skewers, wire, and a pencil. We stick it between the balls, stringing it. The excess part of the stick needs to be cut off.

What can you make from cotton pads?

Well, of course, a snowman! This is the first thing that comes to mind. After all, the shape of the discs allows you not to bother cutting out even circles!

Make these hangings for your Christmas tree. They are a great replacement for Christmas tree decorations.

In combination with paper, you can create an entire application.

Did you like cotton wool as a material? Then let's implement such an idea!

Felt, paper and any decor stick perfectly to the discs. To prevent the edges from becoming fluffy, they can be sewn up with a decorative seam.

I think the kids will find something to do!

To prevent the pieces from slipping off the fabric, pin them to both sides of the velvet. Trace the patterns and cut out several parts at once.

Now we sew all the blanks from the wrong side, leaving one edge unconnected.

Through it we turn each piece inside out and stuff it with cotton wool or other filler. Sew the edges and attach all the details.

Now let's turn our attention to the felt. We will need different shades of it. Of course, we will choose white as the main color.

And they even depicted the hero of today’s article on the aprons!

The idea of ​​connecting pompoms onto a skewer.

Try to repeat the entire master class and make such a beauty.

We have prepared several interesting master classes for you and your children.

1. Snowman made from a sock.

Here a piece of white children's leggings is used for the body, and a hat and jacket are made from a striped sock. The nose and eyes are made of beads. The ends of a piece of leggings need to be tied and stuffed with synthetic padding or cotton wool, pulled with thread to form a body, and then put on our hero.

Another similar option, but here we add cute fabric scarves.

2. DIY snowman made from old hats.

This beauty is made from two old children's hats, stuffed with padding polyester and decorated with large bright buttons.

2. Crochet

Even little knitters can cope with this task. Two circles knitted with a single crochet, the mouth is made of thread, the eyes are made of buttons.

2. Snowman made of lids.

Even from ordinary bottle caps you can make something interesting. You need to glue a ribbon to the back surface, decorate the hero’s neck with a ribbon and a button, acrylic paints draw a face.

2. Snowman candle holder from a jar

To make such a funny character, you can use socks that are out of fashion or that have become too small for your child. To work you will need:

• light sock;
• colored sock;
• padding polyester;
• round rubber bands;
• white yarn;
• buttons;
• needle with thread.

The size of the socks depends on how big you want your snowman toy to be. You can use small or large. Take a sock and fill the bottom 3cm with rice.

White grains are not visible through the fabric. This filler will help the structure to be stable. If you don’t have rice and the sock is thick, you can pour another light grain into it, for example, millet.

Place padding polyester on top of the cereal, thus filling the sock to the heel. Make small balls on the right and left by pulling the sock with pieces of padding polyester with an elastic band - you get blanks for handles. Just above this place, in the middle, also tie the sock with an elastic band. This is a snowman's throat made from a sock. Now we need to make his head. To do this, fill part of the sock with padding polyester above the neck, round it, and tie it on top with an elastic band.

Shows how to make a snowman with your own hands photo above. Looking at it, you will understand that at this stage you need to replace the elastic bands with white yarn.

Next, we make a cap for a funny character. A colorful sock will go with it. Put it on the head of this assistant of Santa Claus and tie it at the back of the head with a thin elastic band. The length of the hat can be any, cut off the excess, tie yarn instead of an elastic band. Decorate the tip of the cap as you wish by cutting its edge, or leave it as is.

Now let's start creating the face. Buttons of blue color will serve as the eyes, and the brown one as the nose. Sew three black buttons onto his belly, use scraps of a sock to make a scarf with fluffy ends and hang it around the snowman’s neck.

The next craft is no less interesting - the idea will tell you what use can be made for used plastic cups. If you have a lot of them, then you will get a big snowman. It can be placed in the office, on the street, next to any institution. It will decorate the building and attract the attention of passersby.

DIY snowman made from plastic cups

For this craft, in addition to empty containers, you will need a stapler. For decoration you will need:

• carrot;
• colored paper;
• cardboard;
• textile.

Start by making the top ball. To do this, fasten the cups together with a stapler, placing them evenly to each other, with the bottom in one direction. Soon they themselves will accept the required form circle. In the same way you will make the second half of the snowman. The top ball should be smaller than the bottom one.

Both of these figures are circles; they do not need to be completed to the end; the bottom must remain free so that the snowman made from plastic cups is stable.

Connect his head to his body using a stapler, tie this place with a scarf from corrugated paper. From it, or from ordinary colored paper, you will make buttons and eyes of the figure. For the nose, you can put a carrot in a cup, cutting a circle of small diameter in it, as shown in the photo, or make it out of cardboard.

How to make a cylinder headdress can also be seen in the figure. Cut out a rectangle and a circle from cardboard. The length of the larger side of the rectangle should be equal to the diameter of the circle. You will also need a rim for the cylinder, indicated in the figure as number 3. Cut out blanks from colored or white cardboard, painting them in the desired color. You can cut the same blanks onto fabric, cut them out and paste them onto cardboard. Now all the parts need to be glued together, as shown in the figure, and you can place the cylinder on the head of the New Year's snowman you created with your own hands.

There are many ideas for such creativity. As a result of the implementation of the following, the craft will turn out to be openwork and airy. Using this technique you can also make a new lampshade.

In addition to the materials listed, you will need:

• 5 balloons of different sizes, for the body - large, for the head - smaller, for the arms - even smaller;
• white threads;
• PVA glue;
• brush;
• for eyes 2 black buttons;
• for the nose a little orange polymer clay;
• big needle.

The exciting process begins with inflating balloons. You can involve the whole family in this. Now you need to wrap each ball with threads. To prevent the balls from bursting, this is done carefully, without stretching the threads too much.

Now generously coat the windings of the balls with PVA glue. It should cover all sections of the thread well. Hang the balls by the ropes that tie them at the top and let them dry thoroughly. To do this, it is better to leave the blanks overnight, then your morning will start very happily, since now you need to burst all the balls with a needle. After that, remove them through the holes between the threads.

Now place the largest piece on the floor or some kind of base. Attach a slightly smaller ball to this large ball, and on top - a snowman's head made of threads. Glue its handles in the same way and let the pieces dry.

The finishing touches remain. A beautiful nose is made from polymer clay or cardboard. For the latter, it is cut out in the shape of a triangle, then one side is placed on the other and the joint is glued. Sew the button eyes in place, make a headdress as in the previous case, and the thread snowman is ready.

To make your polymer clay nose strong, mold it in the shape of a carrot, and then put it in boiling water for 8-10 minutes. Then the workpiece will become hard and at first glance it will be difficult to distinguish it from a real carrot.

Knitted snowman

You can decorate a sweater, potholder, or decorative pillow with this figurine. The patterns clearly demonstrate how such knitted snowmen are created. This one shows that you will need eight colors of thread.

Color number:

1. - white;
2. - yellow;
3. - violet;
4. - red;
5. - blue;
6. - sea wave;
7. - blue;
8. - green.

If you don't have yarn of a certain shade, you can replace it with another. So, the character’s hat, scarf, and legs may be of a different color.

This knitted snowman is made using the stockinette stitch technique. That is, on the front side you will knit with facial loops, and on the reverse side with purl stitches.

To change the color to another, twist the thread of the desired shade with the one you finished knitting the last stitch with. Then the junction of different yarns will be invisible and done neatly.

A knitted snowman is created with knitting needles from the first loop of the bottom row. In the diagram it is the lower right corner. As you can see in the figure, 10 loops are knitted from right to left up to the number 20, and then another 7 loops with blue thread. Next, the snowman's leg begins. Twist the yellow and blue thread, knit 6 knit stitches with yellow. Also knit until the end of the row, but with blue yarn.

Turn the work inside out, knit 39 loops using blue yarn according to the pattern, then 8 with yellow yarn and the remaining 16 with blue yarn. In the same way, focusing on the snowman knitting pattern, create the entire fabric. It consists of 92 rows, and 60 loops are used horizontally. In the diagram, cell 1 is one loop.

When you need to finish knitting a piece of a certain color, cut and tie the end of the thread so that it does not unravel. When alternating colors, your threads should be on the wrong side.

To make the design look good, after completing the work, place a knitted snowman on the front side, damp gauze or cloth on it and iron it. If your knitted item uses a ribbed pattern, you do not need to iron it, otherwise it will stretch.

Snowman for kindergarten made from a plastic yogurt bottle

If your beloved child was asked to make such a New Year's attribute, use available materials for this. Even Small child will be able to make a toy using an empty Rastishka container.

A bottle snowman is easy to make; in addition to this, you will need:

• green corrugated paper;
• glue stick;
• scissors;
• soldering iron;
• a piece of red plasticine or cardboard of the same color.

Remove the label from the bottle. Fold a rectangular sheet of paper to form a narrow strip, start wrapping it around the neck of the bottle, not forgetting to shape the neck. This way you will simultaneously close the hole and make a snowman hat with your own hands.

Now use a soldering iron to make a hole in the bottle. If you are creating a craft with your child, take on this part of the work yourself. Meanwhile, let the baby roll a piece of plasticine in the shape of a snowman’s nose between his palms. Attach it to the resulting hole; you can also use a folded piece of colored paper or cardboard for the nose.

To help the paper stick better, use glue. Use it to attach sparkles or circles in the middle of the snowman's body, these are improvised buttons on his clothes. Make eyes from colored paper new toy. After the glue has dried, New Year's craft For kindergarten and the schools are ready.
