To create a New Year's Snowman we will need:
- Newspaper or white landscape paper;
- Scotch;
- Scissors;
- Toothpicks;
- Glue gun or Moment glue;
- Sugar;
- Decor snowman (2 small buttons; 2 eyes; satin ribbon; small piece of orange cardboard).
Step 1. Take a small piece of newspaper or a white landscape sheet. Now let's roll a small ball. If you roll the newspaper for a long time, it will roll into a fairly dense ball. Its size depends on how many newspaper sheets you use there. You need to roll it up so that the ball turns out really dense (a snowman will turn out denser from a landscape sheet than from a newspaper). Let's make just three of these balls. The first will be large, the second will be medium, the third will be small.
Step 2. Cover each ball with tape. This is necessary in order to give them a more rounded and even shape.
Step 3.Now comes the interesting part. For this we need sugar. Use a toothpick to pierce our smallest ball. It is necessary that it is tightly seated on the toothpick. We will do this so that it is convenient for us to hold it. Let's apply glue to the entire ball; this can be done using a glue gun or Moment glue. Next, roll the ball in sugar, this will create the effect that the snowman is made of snow.
Step 4. Now take our medium and large balls, roll them in sugar in the same way. Connect all three balls together using toothpicks. It is necessary that the balls are securely fixed to each other. There should be a large ball at the bottom, then a medium one and, finally, the smallest one.
Step 5. All that remains is to decorate the Snowman. Take a satin ribbon and wrap it around the snowman's neck - this will be a scarf. Next we glue 2 small eyes; they can be replaced with small beads. We will also glue two buttons on the body.
Step 6. Let's make a loop from a thin rope so that you can hang the snowman on the Christmas tree, attach it to the Snowman's head. All that remains is to make the nose. Make a small cone from a small piece of orange cardboard and glue it. If you wish, you can make the Snowman a headdress, such as a small hat or bucket. Imagine!
Well, that's all, the Snowman is ready!
Such a wonderful toy will certainly decorate the New Year tree, and the sugar will create the effect that a snowman is made of snow. And if you involve children in this work, they will simply be delighted!
