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 so that creative process became more exciting and fruitful. We will try to make funny snowmen from different material, from all 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.

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:

threads white. 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:

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 pull the thread inside the wound threads, tie it at one end and cut it at the other. We get two pompoms for the bottom and top of the snowman.
Now you need to tie both pompoms together using the tails of the threads.
Our snowman is ready. All that remains is to glue on his eyes and nose, buttons and branches on the sides of the handle.
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.
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:

Inflate two hot air balloon. We make one large, the second smaller.
Pour PVA glue into a bowl and soak the threads there.
After that, we immediately begin to wind the threads in glue onto the ball in a random order, chaotically.
When both balls are wrapped with thread, leave them to dry. It's better to leave the balls overnight.
When the threads are dry, you need to burst the balls and carefully pull them out.
Now we glue both balls, the small one on top of the large one.
At the bottom of the large ball, cut off the rounded part with scissors so that the snowman stands steadily.
Glue handles from twigs to the snowman.
We cut out the hat, glue its parts and put it on the top of the snowman’s head, securing it with glue.
Now we need to glue buttons in the form of eyes onto the snowman’s body for decoration.
We make a carrot out of paper or felt and glue it in place of the spout.
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 a few ideas with step by step description their incarnations. Let's see how you can make amazing snowmen from plain paper or from paper napkins.

Snowman made from palms for a school competition

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

Let's get started:

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

Napkins need to be cut into squares.
Cut off the bottom of the largest ball so that the bottom is flat for stability.
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.
Then glue the balls one on top of the other.
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. It will be 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:

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.
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.
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:

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.
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.
Let's fill both parts with padding polyester.
Let's put them together one on one where there is an unsewn gap and sew them up.
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.
Next we will glue the beads - eyes. Cut out a triangle of orange felt and glue it in place of the spout.
We will cut out a strip of felt - a scarf and tie it to the snowman.
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.

Such a snowman, made with your own hands, will turn out pretty big size. 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:

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.
Stapler and staples for connecting cups.
You can take a real hat and scarf and then dress up the figurine.
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.
Glue the nose into a carrot-shaped cone from orange felt.
We will also need a glue gun.

Let's get started:

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.
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.
Then we attach the head to the body with a stapler.
Now we insert the balls - eyes. We will first paint them black and attach them with glue.
Then we attach the spout.
We tie a scarf and put a cap on top. For reliability, secure with glue.
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!

Who is the snowman?
Snowman (Snow Woman) is a simple snow sculpture created in winter - mainly by children. Making snowmen is a children's winter game that has come down to us from ancient times, which originated when clearing snow from the yard or paths. The most in a simple way To clean the snow during the thaw, it was to roll it into a snow globe, from which snowmen were made.
The simplest snowman consists of three snow globes (lumps), obtained by making snowballs and rolling the lying snow onto them. The largest lump becomes the snowman's belly, the smaller one becomes the chest, and the smallest one becomes the head.
The snowman's hands can be represented by two branches, but sometimes symbolic hands are made from two small lumps of snow. The snowman is often given a shovel or broom in his “hands,” which is stuck into the snow next to the figure. Sometimes the snowman is equipped with two feet made of snowballs, as if peeking out from under the skirt of his fur coat. The canon requires that the snowman's nose be made of carrots (carrots were well preserved until winter in old Russian peasant farms), but in reality modern conditions more often, more accessible materials are used (pebbles, sticks, coals), which also indicate other facial features. Sometimes a bucket is placed on the snowman's head.
In Russians New Year's tales and cartoons often appears as a companion of Santa Claus. The snowman helps deliver and distribute gifts to children, just like the Snow Maiden. This role is most assigned to the snowman in New Year's cartoons, but in reality he often stands in the yard, pleasing the eyes of those around him and those passing by.
Stages of completing the craft:
1. To make a snowman, prepare white cardboard. Below are the templates. They can be printed on a sheet of A-4 format.
Trace and cut out all three parts.

2. Place and glue the shapes in the following order.

3. Cut out eyes, nose and mouth from colored cardboard and glue to the base.

4. Cut out and glue on a brown hat.

5. Cut out “branches” from brown cardboard. We have chosen the following form. You can cut two parts at once. Glue on the wrong side.

6. You can decorate it by adding large blue “buttons” made of paper.

7. What is a snowman without a broom? Our broom is a strip of cardboard 1 cm wide and 15 cm long. The end of the broom was cut into thin strips and slightly twisted using a scissor blade.

8. The plot was complicated by adding green Christmas trees. These are isosceles triangles made of green cardboard of different sizes.

9. Let's place our snowman with a broom near the Christmas trees.

10. To make the broom serve its intended purpose, we added fluffy snowflakes.
Well, this is real snowfall!

Our snowman will participate in the school children's competition for the new year.
Thank you everyone for your attention to children's paper art!

Paper snowmen

You can make snowmen with your own hands from any materials, even the most unexpected ones, but we will start with something simple - with paper.

Spread it with white paint and make an imprint. Draw in the face, handles and buttons with felt-tip pens when the paint is completely dry. A hat and scarf can be made from colored tape, colored paper or felt, for example.

Snowmen Christmas balls

You can make a snowman with your own hands from Christmas balls. For such a craft, you will need either a special blank or an old Christmas ball. Below are several master classes on making snowmen from Christmas tree balls with your own hands.

To make such a snowman you will need a ball blank, an old sock, acrylic paint(or gouache), marker. Cut the sock and put it on the ball. Pour a little paint inside the ball and twist the workpiece so that the paint evenly covers the inside of the ball walls. Tie the sock at the top and draw eyes, nose and mouth for the snowman.

Fill the blank with foam or white beads to the top, close the ball and draw a face. The New Year's snowman ball is ready!

Here is another variation on the theme of foam balls or beads. The only difference between this MK and the previous one is the decor of the ball itself, i.e. snowman. In this craft, the Snowman is additionally decorated with warm headphones. As an option, you can put on him a hat, a cap, or a more traditional option for us - a bucket.

But here is approximately the same snowman made from a Christmas ball, only artificial snow is poured inside the blank.

Here is a great craft option for kids. Kids don’t yet know how to draw properly, but they can definitely decorate a Christmas ball with snowmen made from fingerprints. For detailed MK, see the photo below.

This option is suitable for those who do not have a blank, but have a regular, undecorated Christmas ball.

Snowmen made from scrap materials

It often happens that you want to get creative, but there is nothing at hand. Some people get upset and leave this idea until better times, while others look for other opportunities. And that’s right; you can make crafts with your own hands from a variety of different and sometimes unexpected materials, which are sure to be found in every home. Now we will talk about such crafts.

#1 Snowmen made from cotton pads

It is difficult to find a woman or girl who does not have cotton pads. And they make wonderful New Year’s crafts, especially when it comes to snowmen. Cotton pad already initially has the correct round shape, so you don’t need to cut anything out.

To create the volume of the craft, you can put a little ordinary cotton wool between the disks. Then the craft will resemble a miniature soft toy.

With kids, you can make appliqués from cotton pads, frame them like a picture, or make, for example, a postcard for grandma or dad.

If you can’t find cotton pads, cotton balls are also suitable for crafts. As a last resort, just tear small pieces of ordinary cotton wool and glue. It will be even more interesting.

Well, how exactly to glue the cotton wool is up to you to decide. Use your imagination, and the ice cream snowman is the limit!

#2 Paper plate snowmen

Cool crafts can be made from ordinary paper plates. Step-by-step master class How to make a snowman-skier can be found below. Both toddlers and older children will enjoy this craft.

And here is a simpler option: a triangle snowman. Ideal for kindergarten.
