The New Year is approaching, which both adults and children are waiting for. The main attribute of this kind and happy holiday- Christmas tree. It's time to think about decorations.

Making a snowman yourself is very simple, without spending a lot of money.

For this you will need the following materials:

  • Threads;
  • pearl barley or rice;
  • beads, rhinestones, buttons, ribbon.

Take a sock and cut off the nose. Let's put it aside.

We take most of the sock (with the heel) and tie one side with a thread. It must be tied tightly so that there is no hole left.

We fall asleep in the sock of cereals. It is better to take pearl barley or rice, because they are light and will not show through white sock. We fall asleep almost to the very end, leaving a little bit of fabric so that we can tie it with a thread.

We tie a sock. It turns out a white ball or oval.

We put the sock on one of the sides with a tied bun (preferably with the one that turned out to be thicker). We begin to wrap the filled sock with a thread just above the middle. The bottom part should be larger than the top.

Let's start decorating. Between the balls, which are separated by threads, we tie a ribbon. The ribbon is a snowman's scarf.

We take rhinestones or beads and glue them like eyes, nose and mouth. It is better to glue on the glue-moment.

Liquid glue will not work, it is absorbed into the sock and the beads fall off.

We take the cut off nose of the sock and make a bend. We put it on the head of a snowman. It turns out a hat.


Two beautiful snowmen come out of a pair of socks. They are very cute and uplifting. Will become wonderful decoration for the holiday.

Another snowman with the help of your skillful hands will settle in your house.

Materials and tools:

  • Two foam balls of the same size;
  • thin red felt;
  • green fleecy wire;

From the packaging material, polystyrene or foam, we cut out a circle of a slightly larger diameter than our balls.

Carefully cut a small hole in the middle.

Lubricate with glue and install the first ball cut up.

On the first ball, smearing it with glue, put the second - cut down.

Then cut out a rectangle from the felt. The larger side of this rectangle should be equal to the circumference of our ball, and the smaller side should be equal to its diameter - this will be a hat. A long strip of felt is a scarf. Mittens - 4 parts.

Glue the gloves to the handles.

Lubricate the felt for the hat with glue and apply to the head.

Attaching handles.

Do-it-yourself napkin stand with a snowman

New Year festive table never goes without a hot meal. In order not to spoil a beautiful tablecloth, hostesses often use special coasters. But they can be made to appearance in harmony with the atmosphere of the holiday. For example, link them in the form of a snowman.

To knit a stand in the form of a Christmas tree toy, we need any yarn of medium thickness of any dark color (otherwise the appliqué will merge with the background color), hook No. 1, jeans yarn white color, pieces of glue-based felt, a decorative bow, two beads, scissors.

We recruit from dark yarn 4 air loops and close them in a ring with a connecting loop.

We knit the first row with single crochets, inserting the tool into the hole of the ring. The number of columns does not matter, the main thing is that the knitting does not bend. We also close the row with a connecting loop.

The next rows are also knitted with single crochets. To prevent knitting from bending at the edges, it is necessary to periodically make additions. We make additions in each row, but their number will vary depending on the numbering of the row. For example, in the second row we make 3-4 additions, in the third - 4-5 and so on. The number of additions can also vary from yarn, so, most importantly, make sure that the knitting does not fold and the additions are at an equal distance from each other.

The total number of rows for the base is 5-6. You can make larger ones if you want the base to be larger.

In the next row, with a thread or a yellow marker, we designate 4 points that are equidistant from each other. In this row we also knit single crochets, but at the points marked to us we knit three single crochets into one loop.

We knit the third row in the same way as the second.

After that, we will tie the edge of the stand. To do this, we attach white yarn to the edge of the circle and knit the following pattern: 3 air loops for lifting, 1 double crochet in the same loop, 3 air loops, “picot” of these three air loops, 2 double crochets in the same loop.

We repeat the pattern to the end of the row, only instead of 3 air loops we knit a double crochet.

After that, we knit single crochets in the same way as we did when knitting the warp.

From pieces of glue-based felt we cut out a “bucket” and a “carrot”.

We form eyes from beads, sew all the details and glue them to the base so that we get a snowman.

Hot stand "Snowman" is ready. The author of the master class is Elena Sharygina.


In winter, in snowy weather, children are happy to roll snowballs, and then make big and small snowmen out of them. It immediately becomes clear to everyone that the basis of such crafts should be balls different size. If you transfer this object to paper, be sure to show round details. They can be easily drawn with a compass. But what to do if the child is still small, he does not know how to handle a compass at all, and this sharp object is dangerous for him.

Another thing is the tubes from toilet paper. Quite decent crafts are obtained from rolls. Naturally, the paper is gray on top, but it can be pasted over with a white sheet. And you can even not use a gray fragment, but immediately make a thin long cylinder of white cardboard.

Thus, to show a snowman figurine, it is not necessary to cut out 2-3 circles. You can make a white top hat and add distinctive details - a long carrot nose, skis, a broom. All this develops the baby's imagination, makes it possible to use non-standard materials and techniques to perform unusual crafts.

What to prepare for making a paper snowman:

  • white paper and a roll of toilet paper for the torso;
  • orange paper for the nose;
  • yellow and blue paper for headphones;
  • black paper for skis;
  • branches and tape for a broom;
  • scissors;
  • glue;
  • red and black pens or markers.

Make a white cylinder - the basis of the whole craft. This will be the blank completely for the entire torso of the snowman. Either stick a white sheet on the gray surface of the roll, or use white cardstock. Cut a strip from the cardboard, twist it into a cylinder, fasten it with glue or a stapler. Thus, central part will be single, smooth and even, and not consisting of separate circles.

Make an orange nose in the form of a cone, it will look like a carrot. Take a circle, make an incision along the radius. Holding with your fingers, twist to get the desired part, glue the ends of the cone. Draw on a white roll round eyes with pupils with a black pen, a wide mouth with red. Now the face is marked on the cylinder.

Lubricate the base of the cone with plenty of glue. Glue the nose to the face.

Cut out blanks from the prepared paper: black skis, a blue stripe and 2 yellow circles for headphones. Gather a few short branches into a bundle, wrap the base with tape. You will get an imitation of a broom, which is usually inserted into the hands of snowmen, who are molded on the street from snow.

Glue a blue strip on the top of the cylinder on the sides. From above, mask the ends of the stripes with yellow circles. Headphones are ready.

Glue the side of the broom using tape or a piece of paper. The figurine seems to be holding it in his hands.

Now put the whole structure on skis. To stick them, use additional pieces of paper or tape.

The little paper snowman is ready. He rushes through the snowdrifts and celebrates the New Year. And you can also entrust him with a letter for Santa Claus, which he will definitely give to the addressee. In winter, we see a snowman in the yard, and we will see another small copy on the shelf after repeating this lesson.

A children's craft in the form of a snowman is made without much effort, so it is perfect for the smallest children. Everyone knows the modeling technique, because the creation of snowmen and snowmen is a favorite activity for all children in winter. There are a lot of snowdrifts on the street in the cold season, and one is drawn to go out into the yard, go sledding, play snowballs. And at home, no one forbids doing interesting work.

In this lesson, we will not only create an interesting figurine, but also decorate it at our discretion, because plasticine allows you to realize any fantasy. After reading this master class, you will not need to look for new ideas for winter creativity, you will definitely like this work.

To create a plasticine snowman craft, prepare:

  • white plasticine;
  • black, orange, red, blue, brown plasticine, but in small quantities;
  • match and toothpick.

Choose a white block from the set. It is he who looks like real snow - the same pliable, easily deformed into clods. But plasticine is not cold at all, it will never melt, even with water it can be moistened. Of course, you won’t be able to play snowballs, but you can do something unusual.

Cut off 2 pieces, leave a little for the limbs (no one forbids making arms and legs for our snowman). Roll 2 balls for the head and torso. These two details will be enough to form the figure.

Stretch the body slightly. Prepare a match for connection. This little detail will not only hold it together, but also make the figure moveable.

Connect the figure's head and body. Use the head of a match to push the eyes on the ball-head. Instead of the usual bucket that children in the yard can put on a snowman's head, make other accessories. Let it be bright headphones.

Blind a thin blue strip, glue it on the head with a semi-arc. Glue red cakes on the sides of the strip. These headphones are fashion trend winters. And they are also very to the face of the snowman.

Fill the eyes squeezed by the match head with black plasticine. Glue on the nose. It can be either a carrot or a wide bright ball. Make a mouth and blush. The cheerful face of the charming snowman is ready, he is smiling at us, and therefore we need to immediately move on to the next steps.

Glue bright red buttons on the front of the body, press them down with the tip of a toothpick. After that, use a toothpick to create a broom. A snowman usually stands at a post in the yard, a broom is inserted into his hands-branches.

Glue a few brown threads from one end of the stick, press down around the circumference with your fingers. Make oblong arms and legs. Better to keep them small. The main part of the craft is the torso and head.

The snowman turned out to be mischievous and festive, bright and noticeable. Insert the broom into his hands and seat him under a small tabletop Christmas tree. The New Year is rushing to visit us, with such a sentry we do not miss the most interesting, we will definitely prepare for the holiday and have fun.

Nature tirelessly fantasizes in winter and sends us dozens, hundreds, thousands of snowflakes from above. Scientists who have studied them under a microscope claim that they are all different. Of course, it’s hard for us to believe this, because snowflakes are so small, so tender, they instantly melt from a light touch or breath.

And we, too, can experiment and create something unique, we don’t even need to look at snowflakes under a microscope for a long time and look for certain distinctive features. We have at our disposal all kinds of materials for creativity: plasticine, paper, threads, felt, beads and much more.

Start with what you understand, with the easiest. Children love plasticine very much, and therefore they will gladly agree to make some kind of craft out of it, especially if it is.

To create a snowflake like the one suggested here, prepare:

  • plasticine;
  • stack.

How to make a fancy snowflake

The proposed snowflake is creative, not like the white and blue crafts that have become traditional for us. Why not use Brown color, it is so similar to chocolate, which is loved by children, which is sure to be in new year's eve in gifts, on the branches of the Christmas tree, on the festive table.

Is it possible to refuse the sweetest treat? Nevertheless, we can make additional white elements, moreover, we can also time the image on the snowflake to the New Year. For example, it will be a snowman - the middle of a snowflake and fluffy twigs - rays.

From a brown portion of plasticine, make the body of a snowflake. At first it will be a round cake, press it well to a hard surface, smooth it on top. Also show 6 rays using the stack. Press the cake around the circumference in 6 places. It is enough to make light cuts.

Make a very thin white cake, much smaller. Also walk around the edge of the stack. Glue to the center. Add another white cake, dock it with the previous part. This will be the head of the snowman, and first we prepared the torso. The figurine consists of two parts.

Stick it on your head Christmas hat. It is not difficult to make it if you have red and green plasticine on hand. Stick an imitation of a bright hat with a green border on your head. Add bubo.

Now you need to somehow decorate your craft, make the rays of a snowflake. Glue small pellets along the edge of the torso cake, pierce each with a sharp stick. Glue a branch of white thin plasticine threads on each ray. Make an imitation of spruce needles using a stack.

Glue spruce branches along each ray. The more magnificent the design, the better. Complete the snowman with a bright scarf so that it does not freeze at night, decorate with buttons. Glue black eyes and a nose in the form of a carrot. The figure looks elegant and wintery.

An interesting plasticine snowflake is ready. According to the same scenario, it is easy to perform other crafts that are bright and stand out against the general background; you can depict on them not only snowmen, but also Santa Claus, the Snow Maiden, a Christmas tree, a deer and other festive images.

How to make a snowman out of felt

In this master class, I propose to sew interesting toy from felt for the new year with your own hands.

To sew a New Year's toy, we need:

  • soft felt (blue or blue, white, a little red for the spout);
  • floss threads in blue or blue;
  • two buttons;
  • filler for a snowman (synthetic winterizer, holofiber);
  • beads or beads for eyes;
  • lace.

We draw three circles with a diameter of 5 cm, 4 cm and 3 cm with a compass. We cut out two circles according to these patterns, one of which has a small square at the top, in order to make it convenient to sew the circles to each other.

We take two large circle and sew them together, gradually filling with filler.

We put two more circles on top, which are slightly smaller and sew them together as well, filling them with filler.

We do the same with the third round.

Cut out a strip of blue felt for a scarf 1 cm wide and a snowman long.

We attach a scarf to the snowman and sew a button in the middle of the scarf.

Sew another button between the bottom circles.

At the edge of the scarf, you can make small cuts with scissors.

Cut out a small triangle of red felt for the nose and sew to the face.

Sew on small beads for the eyes.

For handles, cut out small circles about 1 cm in diameter and sew.

Cut out two squares 1 cm by 1 cm for boots.

We cut the edges of the squares so that we get triangles and sew them to the snowman.

At the top of the snowman, we cut a hole with a ripper to thread the cord.

Thread a string through the hole.

The snowman is ready, it remains only to hang it on the Christmas tree or give it to someone as a souvenir.

How to tie the application "Snowman"

No one New Year not complete without a snowman. And in this master class we will knit a flat appliqué in the form of this wizard! The product can be hung at home or at the workplace so that it reminds of the upcoming holiday and evokes a cheerful mood.

For knitting such an application, we need:

  • Yarn of red, white, black and peach (beige) colors;
  • Hook 1, 75 mm;
  • Scissors.

For applique, it is better to take a thin yarn. Suitable yarn "Children's novelty". The hook is better to use no more than 2 mm.

Let's start knitting with peach-colored yarn, as we will first knit the face for Santa Claus.

We form a ring of 6 loops, but do not close it.

We make 1 lifting loop and unfold the knitting. Next, we will knit in each loop 2 stbn.

Then again we make 1 lifting loop and knit with an increase through 1 loop.

We turn around and make 3 lifting loops. Then we knit 4 more sts at the same point. In the next loop we make 1 stbn. We skip 1 loop and in a new one we perform 5 sts.

So we will continue knitting to the end.

The beard was tied, now let's start making the hat.

For this we need red yarn.

We join from above in a peach loop from one edge and knit along peach loops. We simply do 1 stbn.

Gradually, the cap will narrow. In order for the edges to be even, we will make the strapping stbn.

Embroider eyes with black thread, and embroider nose with peach thread.

Now take the white thread again and make a few horizontal stitches under the nose. And we will perform 1 vertical stitch in the center of the horizontal ones.

The hat is ready, but you can decorate it with a voluminous pompom.

To do this, we attach the thread to the topmost central loop on the cap. We collect 10 in. Next, we join with a white thread in the last ch. We will now knit a magnificent column of 5 crochets. But we do not knit the nakida all at once, but 2 loops each. At the end we will knit 1 ss.

So we knitted a pompom for a hat. We tighten the thread and cut it off. We hide all the ponytails between the loops on the left side of the application.

What can you make a nose for a snowman

Experienced needlewomen simply do not have problems with what to make a nose for a snowman from. For beginner craftswomen, this task may seem quite difficult. When choosing a material, it is necessary to take into account the size of the craft and what it is made of.

A snowman's nose made of fabric can be sewn. For this, a red or orange patch is suitable, from which you need to make a cone. If the toy is very small, then instead of a fabric cone, you can use an ordinary bead or button, a piece of a red-colored toothpick. True, the option with a toothpick is only suitable if the toy is intended as a gift for an adult, and not for a child.

The choice of material for the nose of a homemade snowman should not be difficult. The main thing is to take into account what the craft itself is made of. The knitted nose of a snowman made of disposable cups will look ridiculous, in this case it is much better to resort to using plasticine. It would be unwise to stick and soft toy paper nose, in this case it is better to use fabric or beads, buttons. The solution often comes already in the process of work and can be quite unexpected. Most often, the nose of a snowman is done as follows:

  • sew from fabric;
  • glued from colored paper or cardboard;
  • draw;
  • glue the bead;
  • molded from plasticine;
  • sew on a button;
  • insert a piece of toothpick.

Do-it-yourself snowman from threads

From the threads you can make both a large and a very miniature snowman. The craft is ideal for an exhibition in a kindergarten or school. Yes, and in a homely cozy interior, it is written off perfectly. In order to make such beautiful toy will need:

  • threads;

Armed with everything you need, you can get to work:

  1. Five balloons are inflated, their size must correspond to each detail (torso, arms and head).

  3. Wrap each ball tightly with thread and leave to dry in this form. This will take about five hours.
  4. Only after the glue has completely dried, all the balls begin to burst, holding the tip outside. Just pierce them with a needle and take out the rest.

Each composition is special, unusual and original. Such a snowman will definitely appeal to children, will give a holiday atmosphere.

Hello! The New Year 2016 will come very soon. Nice to decorate your home interesting crafts made by hand. I wanted to make one snowman, but the lesson turned out to be so exciting that without stopping, I made a company of three cute snowmen who, making their way through a snowy forest, carry Christmas trees to our house :)

In order to manufacture New Year's snowmen, I needed foam balls of different sizes (large and small), wire, eyes - beads, soft fabric(fleece or felt) in four colors: red, blue, green and yellow, silicone gun hot glue, buttons, scissors, felt Christmas trees, ballpoint pen, wire tinsel for pom-poms, stationery knife.

Having picked up 3 pairs of balloons, I decided to make three snowmen, a snowman in a red hat with a pompom and a scarf - the smallest and most remote. I made it first and for its manufacture I used a red fleece fabric (felt type).

For the scarf, I cut a strip of fabric 3 cm wide and 20 cm long. At the edges of the strip, I cut a fringe (I made cuts about 1.5 cm long with a distance between cuts of 2-3 mm).

For the hat, I cut out a strip of fabric 14 cm long and 7.5 cm high. I cut a fringe on the top of the strip and pulled the pom pom using wire tinsel.

I cut out a triangle from red fabric and glued the edges, giving it the shape of a nose and drew a mouth with a black ballpoint pen.

Having pierced the body through the wire (16 cm long), attached the sleeves (3.5 cm wide and 4 cm long) to it, cutting them out of the green fabric folded in half, and then glued red mittens, also double, to the ends to hide the edges of the wires inside. Now the snowman can move his arms.

Bending the handles, glued it to right hand Christmas tree, and glued green buttons on the body of the snowman ...

For large snowmen, I selected foam balls in size: smaller for the head, and larger for the torso. I glued them together, cutting off the tops of the balls with a clerical knife, which I then use for shoes.

To dress these snowmen you will need 2 scarves different color 30 cm long and 3.5 cm wide.

For hats, the size of the strips of fabric: 23 cm long and 10 cm wide. I cut one edge of the hat with a fringe and tighten it with wire tinsel.

I glued 2 pockets, buttons and a Christmas tree. I glued stars on the hat and pockets. The Christmas tree was decorated with rhinestones.

From pieces from the tops of Styrofoam balls, she made cute shoes for snowmen, gluing cloth the color of clothes on the soles.
