When it's too cold outside to make snowmen out of snow, it's time to stay inside to make, sew, or cut them out from scraps and even waste materials. Snowman crafts can be used to decorate your home, Christmas tree or table. New Year, give to loved ones, bring to school/ kindergarten for an exhibition or just use for games. 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 Stuffed 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:
- White sock;
- Filler – any small cereal or padding polyester/cotton wool;
- Thick threads or thin rope;
- 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;
- Glue and thread with a needle to sew on buttons and a hat;
- 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, for example, from 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.
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. C reverse side Glue the branch handles onto 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 some disposable plates, you can glue them together and use them as a base for a craft.
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:
- Balloons (2 pcs);
- A skein of thick white thread (you can use latex or waxed thread, but it’s better to try to find just cotton thread);
- PVA glue;
- Hot glue gun;
- Glue container;
- Paints;
- Scissors;
- Scotch;
- 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 instruction 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.

Step 8. Now the work remains small. Tie a scarf on the snowman, glue a couple of buttons. Then glue eyes and a smile cut out of black cardboard onto the face. Finally, roll the orange paper into a cone and glue it under the eyes. Voila, the “snowy” cutie is ready for the holidays!
Master class 4. Large snowman made of plastic cups
Do you want your home snowman to be as big as a real one, to be able to withstand even outdoors, and even glow from the inside? We suggest making a snowman with your own hands from plastic cups as in the following photos.
This craft is done quite easily and quickly. The main thing is to stock up on cups (about 400 pieces) and even more staples for the stapler. You can learn how to make a snowman from plastic cups with your own hands from this video.
Master class 5. Snowman made from toilet paper rolls
Toilet paper or paper towel rolls are great for New Year's crafts-snowmen. Wrap the sleeve in white paper or paint it white, then draw eyes and buttons on the stomach 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.
You can even make an Olaf out of a toilet paper roll!
Master class 6. Christmas tree decorations made from light bulbs
Another idea for making snowmen from waste materials is Christmas decorations from incandescent light bulbs. True, you need to work with them as carefully as possible and only with the help of an adult. But made with your own hands New Year's snowmen will be able to decorate the Christmas tree more than once.

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 (plain office paper will do, although a thicker one will work best).
- Paper of other colors (for the nose, scarf and outfit).

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.

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 paper crafts There are a lot of them in the form 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 plain paper, 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 teamwork 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.
