What is the symbol snowy winter? Of course, a snowman! Unfortunately, not all areas of our homeland are lucky with winter precipitation... However, you can give the interior a winter flavor and decorate the Christmas tree by making snowmen from ornamental materials.
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, tied 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. From pompoms
This furry friend is made from two pompoms, which are also easy to make using string. Or you can use pompoms left over from old hats and scarves.
2. Snowman made of wooden buttons.
Your little one will have fun painting large wooden buttons with a felt-tip pen. All that remains is to tie them with threads and put on a hat made from the finger of an old glove.
2. From salt dough.
Amazingly cozy and homey little snowman! By following the link, you can read about New Year's.
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, and draw a face with acrylic paints.
2. Snowman candle holder from a jar
The New Year is rushing towards us! Very different, but very snowy - snowmen!
Snowman made of burlap and jute rope.
To make such snowmen you need:
Foam balls (can also be made from papier-mâché or crumpled up from paper and tied with thread);
- burlap/linen fabric;
- jute rope/twine;
- buttons;
- paper towel reels/ toilet paper;
- plaid fabric (for example, an old shirt);
- felt/black felt;
- pencil, scissors, stationery knife, kebab stick, glue.
Snowman made of burlap and jute rope
Take one foam ball ik and cut off its edge to give it proper stability (photo 2). Cut the burlap into triangles, as in photo 3. The height of the triangle should be equal to the volume of the ball. Cover the balls with burlap (photo 4-5).
Wrap a foam ball for the snowman's head with twine or jute rope; use a hot glue gun with hot glue (photo 6-7). Connect the balls using a kebab stick (photo 8).
Make a cylinder from a paper towel/toilet paper reel and cover it with black felt/fleece (photo 9-10). Cut a piece of pencil from which to make a carrot nose for the snowman (photo 12).
Glue on the button eyes. Make a scarf from an old shirt by cutting a piece into a rectangle. Decorate the finished snowmen at your discretion.
DIY snowman.
White and green terry cloth;
- fleece of any shade;
- padding polyester/holofiber (for filling);
- black beads for eyes;
- glue, threads.
DIY snowman step by step:
The snowman will consist of three fabric balls of different diameters. Each ball, in turn, will consist of six “wedges”. Fold white terry cloth in half and mark “wedges” (you need to make three elements of each size). Don't forget to leave space between the pieces. The diagonal dimensions of the wedges should be 10.5 cm, 8.5 cm and 7.5 cm (photo 1).
Machine stitch each piece on one side (photo 2). Cut out all the parts, making small indentations along the edges. As a result, you should get nine double elements (photo 3).
Then place all three elements of each ball together (photo 4) and secure with pins (photo 5). Sew (photo 6). Turn out and stuff. Get beautiful, round balls(photo 7).
Sew them together in the given decreasing order (photo 8). And admire the already formed snowman (photo 9)
Next, the snowman needs to make a carrot nose with his own hands. Make it from a piece of orange fabric, in this case knitwear was used. Fold the fabric in half and mark a triangle (photo 10). Sew, turn inside out and stuff with filling (photo 11). Sew the snowman to the head using blind seam(photo 12-13)
Sew on the eyes (photo 14). Give the snowman legs and arms. Fold the white terry cloth in half again and outline the arms and legs. The diagonal length of the handle should be 11 cm (photo 15). Sew, leaving an opening for filling (photo 16).
Turn out and stuff (photo 17). Sew up the hole (photo 18). Secure the handles with thread (photo 19). Do the same manipulations with the legs, sewing them with a hidden stitch (photo 20).
Next you need to dress the almost finished snowman with your own hands (photo 21). Start with the hat and cut out a rectangle of fleece (here it measures 21x15 cm) (photo 22). Fold in half (photo 23). Stitch. Get something like this. On one side, cut off the edge using zig-zag scissors (for decoration) - this will be the “fold” of the hat (photo 24).
On the other side, cut the fringe into strips (photo 25). Place the hat on the snowman's head and gather the resulting fringe into something like a pompom (photo 26). Next, glue the edges of the cap (photo 27-28).
Then make a scarf. To do this, fold a piece of fleece in half and mark a stripe for the future scarf. Strip size 25x6 cm (photo 29). Cut the ends of the scarf into fringes using the same scissors (photo 30).
Tie a scarf on the snowman. All that remains is to put on his mittens (photo 31). Also fold the fleece in half, mark the mittens, stitch, turn inside out (photo 32).
Decorate the edges with the same theme using zig-zag scissors (photo 33). You can also hand something to the snowman so that he doesn’t get bored. In this case, it was decided to give him a Christmas tree (photo 34). Mark the triangle and the bottom of the future tree on green terry cloth. The size of the triangle for the Christmas tree is 17x16 cm (photo 35).
Fold the triangle in half (photo 36). Sew, leaving an opening for filling (photo 37). Pin the bottom of the Christmas tree with pins for security (photo 38). Sew (photo 39). Turn inside out, stuff and sew up the hole (photo 40).
Sew the resulting tree to the finished snowman. Decorate the Christmas tree with multi-colored ones (glue it with glue) to make it look like New Year's.
Your DIY snowman is ready!

Snowman made of pompoms.
To create a pompom snowman you will need:
White yarn;
- needle, scissors, thick cardboard,
- Additional materials to create eyes, nose and mouth, as well as his clothes (for example, a scarf and hat).
Pom pom snowman step by step:
First of all, you will need to create the pompoms themselves, for which you can wrap yarn around your fingers, as shown in MK, and also use cardboard rings.
The snowman can be made from either two or three pompoms. Pompoms should be of different diameters and have a spherical shape. You can create handles for a snowman using the smallest cardboard rings. The thread must be wound very tightly.
After creating the pompoms, they need to be lined up in decreasing order of size and sewn together in the center; you can also connect them with a kebab skewer.
Snowmen can be created with or without handles; you can also use twigs and anything else that comes to your mind instead of handles.
Make a scarf and hat for your snowman from pompoms. You can sew it from leftover fabric or knit it. It is advisable to make them from bright materials.
All that remains is to design the snowman’s face. For the eyes, use beads, buttons or threads, for the nose - orange fabric, which must first be rolled into a thin tube. You can also make a nose from tangerine peel. The snowman's mouth can be woven from red or dark thread in a pigtail. Sew or glue finished parts.
Creating such a soft toy will bring a lot of pleasure to both children and adults.
You can also create other New Year's crafts from pompoms, such as Christmas trees and figurines of other New Year's characters.
Snowmen on the Christmas tree.
To make snowmen you will need:
Packaging polypropylene pallet (from the store);
- multi-colored threads, hook;
- thin needle;
- glue (you can use a glue stick);
- paper, pen/pencil, scissors;
- tangerine peel.
The process of creating snowmen for the Christmas tree:
Take a tangerine peel and cut out noses for snowmen and dry them.
On paper, draw a template of a snowman and mittens. Cut off the bottom of a polypropylene pallet and trace templates on it (tip: you can use writing pen, which can only be used to draw an outline, then there will be no traces of ink left along the edges). Place the parts not end to end, then it will be convenient to cut them out.
Cut out the pieces. for 1 snowman you will need 2 pcs. torso and 4 pcs. mittens. The rest can be used to create the next snowmen. Knit a hat and scarf. You can also sew it from fabric (optional).
Draw a face for the snowman, glue on the nose and embroider snowflakes. Cut some dark thread to create handles.
Take the second piece and attach the handles to it, place the piece with the face on top, secure them and sew the edges (tip: don’t pull the thread too hard, otherwise it will cut through the polypropylene!).
Embroider a snowflake on one part of the mitten, place a thread handle on it, cover it with the second part on top and sew along the edge, repeat with the next mitten.
Dress up the finished snowman as a snowman with a hat and scarf (secure the hat with thread).
The snowman is ready to decorate your Christmas tree!
DIY sock snowman.
To create snowmen from socks you will need:
White children's knee socks (tights)
- socks with colored patterns
- an orange pencil rod for a carrot nose
- needle and thread
- on Moment-Crystal glue
- decor for snowmen: laces, ribbons, ties, buttons
Sock snowmen step by step:
Cut off the extra parts from the tights that we don’t need - the foot and top part.
Turn the snowman's future body inside out. Tie the top part with a string. Tie tightly enough so that the millet from the snowmen cannot fall out.
Add millet and tie the top.
Dress up a snowman: make a hat from the foot of a sock, and from the top part you will get an excellent blouse that can be decorated with buttons, ribbons, and bows.
The eyes and nose can be made from any materials. You can use buttons for the eyes, and a rod from an old orange pencil for the carrot nose. It will need to be sharpened, and for strength, glue it with Moment-Crystal glue.
Sock snowmen are ready!
Snowman. Dry felting technique.
To make a snowman you will need:
White carded wool (about 50 g);
- some orange and red wool;
- padding polyester for the base;
- two beads for eyes;
- large needle and coarse thread;
- sponge, glue, nail file;
- 4 fine needles and 1 coarse;
- dry pastel + brush.
Snowman using dry felting technique step by step:
Choose a picture of a snowman. You don't have to make an exact copy, but the ratio of the snowman's body parts is important.
Making the body:
The snowman's body will consist of three balls of different sizes and handles. Take the padding polyester, roll it tightly and sew it with thick thread. This will be the base for the largest ball. Fluff a small piece of wool and apply it to a ball of padding polyester, and press it with a thin needle (photo 2). Cover the surface of the entire ball with a layer of wool. Try to avoid any bald spots and ensure that the fur lies flat. Next, work with a coarse needle (photo 3-4).
Start making the next ball. For this you will need a small piece of wool, which must first be fluffed so that “creases” do not occur. Form into a ball, working carefully with a coarse needle. Start small and then add pieces of wool, while constantly turning the ball in your hands. Make it the size and density you need. It is important not to overload the workpiece (photo 5-6).
When starting to work, try to get the needle between your fingers. Make two balls of different sizes and try them on. Attach the center ball to the bottom ball. Cover the joint with a small piece of wool (Pic 7-10).
Start making arms for the snowman. Take two identical pieces and fluff them. Felt the wool, turning it in your hands, giving it the desired shape. You need to make two identical elements. You need to alternately form one hand and then the other. Add wool to achieve uniform size and density (photo 11-12).
Then fluff out the upper arm and secure it to the body (photo 13-15). “Attach” the arms to the body using wool. Compare the sizes of the handles (photos 16-18).
If the snowman turns out to be thin, add fur to the sides and belly (photo 19-20).
Making the head:
Move on to the next part - make a ball for the head. Seal it and measure it. Attach the head to the body, lining the joint with wool (photo 21-22). Deepen the eye sockets and glue/sew beads into them (photo 23).
Work on his facial expressions - make his cheeks and chin. Make a blank oval shape from a small piece of wool. We attach it to the head. Next, make two identical balls for the cheeks. Felt them, not forgetting about symmetry. Draw the mouth (photo 24-26).
To create eyelids, use a sponge. And to speed up the process, you can tie three thin needles using a money elastic band. Start by taking two pieces of wool of the same size. Fluff them and place one of them on the sponge (photo 27).
Gently seal the top first on one side and then on the other. Form a smooth edge. Press the wool again on both sides. Make two identical elements (photo 28-30). Do it by analogy upper eyelids. Start attaching from the lower eyelid (photo 31-32).
The snowman's facial expression will depend on the shape of the eye shape (photo 33-34). The eyes are ready - make a mouth. Deepen the mouth line using a coarse needle. And mark a place for the spout (photo 35-37).
To make mittens, use red wool. Begin to carefully create the desired shape by turning the wool in your hands. Make a couple of mittens at once and compare their sizes periodically. Make a finger out of a small piece and attach it to the main part. Add wool if necessary. Leave the area where the mitten is attached to your hand fluffy (photo 39-44).
Make a nose for the snowman - form a cone from a small piece of orange wool and secure it in the intended place (photo 45-47).
Sanding the snowman:
After forming a dense body, proceed to grinding. Take a piece of wool the size of a penny. Fluff it well and gently roll it to the body using a thin needle. Lay the fur like fish scales, covering the entire surface of the toy (photo 48-50).
One handle can be lowered to make the snowman look natural. To do this, press on top of your hand and work well on the line connecting the arm and torso (photo 51-52). Don't forget to sand the mittens (photo 53). Attach the “buttons” by first felting three small balls (photo 54).
Snowman tinting:
For tinting, you can use dry pastel in earth tones. Grind the pastel on a file, and then tint the surface with a brush. Then dress the finished snowman in a scarf and hat.
DIY snowman made of threads.
To create a snowman from threads we will need:
Skein knitting threads white(other colors can also be used)
- 4 balloons or fingertips
- PVA glue
- starch
- colored paper
The process of creating a snowman from threads:
First of all, you need to prepare a sticky mixture, for which take half a liter of water, 3 tbsp. l. starch. Cook for a while and cool the resulting paste.
Inflate 4 balloons in sizes corresponding to the parts of the snowman's body - head, torso and two arms.
Dip the threads into the paste, and then begin to evenly wrap each of the balls with them. During the winding process, it is advisable to keep the remaining threads in the adhesive mass all the time.
Leave the balls until the threads are completely dry. After which you need to carefully remove the ball, for which you first deflate it.
Next you need to connect all the parts of the snowman together. To connect the body to the head, make a recess in it, for which you spray a small space with a spray bottle at the site of the future connection and carefully create a recess in a moistened place.
You can glue the body to the head using a paper circle coated with PVA glue on both sides. Leave until the glue dries completely.
By analogy, glue your hands. Decorate the snowman by making eyes, a carrot nose, and a smile from colored paper. The nose can also be made from threads, for which you twist a sheet of paper into a cone and wind threads around it orange color, soaked in paste (the paste also needs to be tinted orange acrylic paint).
As a headdress, you can make something like a bucket from an ice cream cup covered with brown paper.
Your DIY thread snowman is ready! You can create snowmen of any shape at your discretion, both with and without crustaceans.
Happy New Year!
Knitted snowman.
To create a knitted snowman you will need:
Threads of red, green, white gold;
- hook of the required size;
- a tennis ball and a bead, slightly smaller in diameter;
- needle and thread to match (thin);
- golden waxed thread;
- PVA glue + brush.
- two black bugles and two black beads;
- paper.
Crocheted snowman step by step:
To create the body of a snowman we will need 2 beads of different sizes. You can also use a tennis ball as a base for the body. The blanks for the head and body must be white in order to original color did not show through the knitting. To do this, use white beads or paint them with acrylic paint of the appropriate color (Figure 1).
To tie round shapes, use the following algorithm.
2. You need to finish adding loops when the knitted piece and the ball are not equal in diameter (put the knitting on your ball and take the measurement, looking from above).
Figure 2 shows that you will need to tie more, according to at least, one row so that the knitted piece and the tennis ball are equal in diameter.
Figure 3 clearly shows that the diameters of the workpiece and the tennis ball are the same.
3. Any middle round shape you need to knit without adding loops in the number of rows determined by eye. Thus, you will need to knit about 1/4 of the surface of the ball.
4. You need to decrease the loops according to the adding pattern, only in the reverse order. To complete the knitting, decrease the stitches until the ball is completely hidden under the knitting.
Figure 5-6 shows ready-made, tied blanks of the head and body of the future snowman.
To connect them firmly, you will need to thread the end of the thread from the body blank through the penultimate rows of the head blank (Figure 7). Pull tightly and tie in a knot (Figure 8).
Knit a scarf for a snowman bright color, for which cast on 10 loops thin knitting needles, and tie the fabric with a regular elastic band about 20 cm long (Fig. 9-10).
Make a nose from strands of glue. Roll a piece of paper into a bag, secure the end with PVA glue (Fig. 11). Pull the orange thread through the resulting workpiece (Fig. 12).
Now knit the hat using the body knitting algorithm. Those. knit first by adding loops, then several rows without adding (Fig. 15).
Take beads and glass beads that will serve as eyes for the snowman. Sew them on. Tie a ready-made scarf (Fig. 16).
Attach the nose by threading a thread through the base of the nose (Figure 17). Using a needle, first fasten one end of the thread, pull the nose, and then fasten the other end of the thread (Figure 18).
Hang the snowman by threading gold waxed thread through the tip of the cap.
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 a 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 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. By dotted lines bending is performed. 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. Glue these paper figures most convenient at 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 with 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!
Crafts made from fabric and felt with patterns
And now, a whole section for needlewomen! We will look at what can be made from felt and fabric. Of course, it will take more time and perseverance here than in previous sections. However, the level of difficulty will be higher.
Master class No. 1. We are sewing a snow tower. I'll give you the pattern.
Master class No. 2. Let's sew Stuffed Toys. To do this, choose a fleecy soft cloth. Great white will do, gray or blue velvet.
Let's take:
- velvet,
- threads,
- needles,
- pin.
We take this pattern and transfer it first to a sheet of paper, and then to wrong side fabrics.
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.
Pattern No. 1. These beauties are quick to make. Use the pattern provided. Stuff a little filler inside to give the craft some volume.
You can make both voluminous and flat crafts from fabric and felt.
These flat hangers are very easy to make. The main thing is to sew the edges with a decorative seam.
Another cute idea that is easy to implement. Take two as a basis floral ornament different sizes. And for the stick you can use a toothpick.

How to make a snowman from a sock with your own hands
White socks are an excellent preparation for a snowman. Mom's or dad's things will turn into a big snowman, and socks small size Suitable for making snowmen.
So we need one white sock, scissors, stuffing, thread or elastic.
- Cut off the bottom part of the whole sock.
- We tie one end with an elastic band and then turn it inside out.
- Fill a sock with any cereal. Bulk products will make the toy more stable and make it easy to shape it into the desired shape.
- We also tie the other end with an elastic band.
- Using our hands we give the snowman a little elongated shape. And to highlight the snowman’s head and torso, we tie the piece just above the middle. The bottom part should be slightly larger and thicker than the top.
- Now you can make a hat from the remaining part of the sock. A narrow piece of any fabric will replace a scarf for a snowman.
- All that remains is to make the eyes and nose, and glue two or three buttons to the bottom.
To get acquainted with the master class in more detail and learn better how to make a snowman from socks, watch the video.
How to make a snowman from plastic cups
A snowman made from plastic cups turns out to be large and charismatic. It can be placed in the classroom and in the children's room. Just leave more space!
The snowman will require more than three hundred plastic cups, a large stapler and glue. Our product will consist of two large balls. Let's start assembling the snowman from the bottom.
- We fasten the first row of 25 cups in a circle using a large stapler. We connect the cups to each other neatly and evenly.
- Now we place the following cups in turn on the resulting circle and connect them to each other and to the previous row. Thus, we complete the first half of the ball. By analogy, we perform the second half.
- The top part of the snowman is also done, but for the first row of the head, 22 cups are already taken. Glue the resulting balls together.
- We make the eyes and nose.
All that remains is to come up with a headdress for the snowman and choose a suitable scarf.
And the available video tutorial will clearly demonstrate the process of making a snowman from plastic glasses.
How to make a snowman from threads
The next master class will help you learn how to make aerial snowmen. They are based on balloons, glue and thread.
We choose PVA glue, it has good adhesion and does not leave yellow marks. We take white threads of any thickness.
- Inflate the balloons so that one is slightly larger than the other. Let's connect them with tape.
- Let's prepare the adhesive composition. To do this, pour a little PVA glue into a small container, then add water and mix everything.
- Soak the threads in glue and begin to wind them in random order, first on one, then on the other ball.
- After drying, you need to pierce both balls and pull out their remains through the threads.
The result was lace balloons. You can attach a thread or string to them and hang them on the Christmas tree. But we need a snowman made of threads. Therefore, we glue the balls together to make a snowman.
All that remains is to come up with a headdress and a scarf. Glue on the drawn eyes or buttons. A carrot-shaped nose is made from orange paper, folded into a narrow cone, or plasticine. Ready!
All the details of the master class are shown in our video.
DIY light bulb snowman (master class)
Don't rush to throw away your old incandescent lamps. Let's make cute snowmen from light bulbs that will decorate any Christmas tree. You can remove the internal parts of the lamp, but this will require carefully disassembling the top of the base. It's up to you to decide whether you will do this painstaking work.
- The first step is to paint the glass part of the lamp with acrylic paint, using a sponge to apply it evenly over the surface.
- After the paint has dried, the base is tied with a rope and a loop is glued to hang the toy on the Christmas tree.
- The eyes, mouth and nose are made using beads or painted with paints, as in the photo.
Light bulbs are quite fragile, so you should not leave children unattended while working with them.
The full version of the master class can be seen on the video.
How to make a paper snowman
Paper is the most popular material among children. It gives a lot of possibilities for making various crafts and souvenirs.
How to make DIY Christmas cards with snowmen
Here's how to make a New Year's card with a snowman applique.
Prepare a white sheet of thick paper, cardboard, cotton wool and glue.
- Fold the sheet in half widthwise and set it aside for now.
- From white cardboard you need to cut out two touching circles, one slightly larger than the other.
- We apply a layer of glue to the base of our snowman, and on it - thin layer cotton wool.
- We cut off all the excess and glue the snowman onto the main sheet.
- We finish his hat, eyes and nose from beads.
Now let’s use our imagination and decorate the card at our own discretion. And our video will help with this.
DIY New Year's paper snowman in 3D
Looks interesting gift card with volumetric or so-called 3D application. This result is achieved by cutting and bending the elements of the postcard.
We will need two sheets of paper, and the white one should be 1 cm shorter in width and length than the colored one.
- Fold a white sheet of paper in half widthwise and make two parallel cuts. This is how we designate the lower part of the snowman.
- We bend the part resulting from the cuts and direct it inward.
- We make two smaller cuts on one of the folds. And we also direct the bent part inward.
- All that remains is to make the last two small cuts and again bend the resulting small element inward.
Now we open the postcard, and what we have inside is: volumetric snowman. Glue the wrong side white sheet to color. More details in the video.
The main element of such a card is a snowman made of several layers of paper, which give it volume and splendor.
- For the base of the postcard, take a thick sheet of cardboard, or two sheets are possible. different color. Fold them in half.
- The snowman is made from two circles. For a fluffy snowman you will need at least 20 circles of each size. We cut them out of white paper and bend each one in half.
- We glue one upper and lower circle completely so that along the fold they coincide with the fold of the base sheet. Apply glue to the remaining circles only along the outer part of the fold, and glue them to the previous circle. And so on for all the top twenty pieces.
- And then the bottom twenty.
- All that remains is to decorate the card.

New Year's craft: paper snowman - garland
If desired, windows, walls and the Christmas tree can be decorated with a garland of snowmen.
- Fold a white sheet of A4 scale in half lengthwise and cut along the fold line.
- We put one part aside, and fold the second in half widthwise, and then again in the form of an accordion.
- Now on the front side we draw the silhouette of a snowman so that its handles end at the edge of the sheet. This will be the place where the garland adheres.
- We cut out the design along the contour, and we have part of our garland of four snowmen ready.
- We also make a few more links of our product, and then fasten the parts (where the handles are) together with narrow tape.
Here's how it was done in the video masterclass:
Snowman on the window
The windows of houses with New Year's paintings. And if not everyone can take on Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden, then even a child can handle a snowman. Two or three white circles, a mouth, nose, eyes, a bucket on the head - and one of the main characters of winter is ready!
Today we told and showed how to make a snowman from paper, thread, plastic cups, socks and even ordinary light bulbs. Do not forget to use our material if you want to do original decoration for your home or as a gift to friends, or at school or garden, a crafts competition will be announced.
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;
- rubber bands;
- white yarn;
- buttons;
- needle with thread.
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. Do right and left small balls, stretching a sock with pieces of padding polyester with an elastic band - we got 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 his head thin rubber 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 how to find a use for used plastic cups. If you have a lot of them, then it will work 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.
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 glass, 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. Length larger side the rectangle should be equal to the diameter of the circle. You will also need a rim for the cylinder, in the figure it is indicated as number 3. Cut out blanks from colored or white cardboard, coloring them in 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 your head New Year's snowman 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;
- a little orange for the nose polymer clay;
- big needle.
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.
Remained finishing touches. 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
With this figurine you can decorate a sweater, potholder, decorative pillow. The patterns clearly demonstrate how such knitted snowmen are created. This one shows that you will need eight colors of thread.
Color number:
- - white;
- - yellow;
- - violet;
- - red;
- - blue;
- - sea wave;
- - blue;
- - green.
Such knitted snowman performed using technology stockinette stitch. 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 the desired shade with the one you finished knitting the last loop 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 yellow 6 knit stitches. 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 drawing look good, after completing the work, place it on the front side tied up snowman, place damp gauze or cloth on it and iron it with an iron. If your knit item uses a ribbed pattern, you do not need to iron it, otherwise it will stretch.
