During the New Year holidays, you want to surround yourself withyour loved ones with something fabulous, light, and winter-like. Almost every home has a Christmas tree, rooms with tinsel and garlands, and white snowflakes glued to the windows. But having an openwork snowman in the house will be something special, especially if it is airy, light, and very cute. We suggest making a snowman out of glue and thread. Such a snowman will not only decorate your New Year's interior, but will also definitely create an atmosphere of a winter fairy tale.From simple threads you can create balls of any sizediameter. Also, the set of balls can be different: for the classic snowman model, use three balls. For another type of snowman, two spheres will do. To create our snowman, you will need: - two balloons - one skein of white thread - PVA glue - scissors - some bright knitted fabric - twigs for the snowman's hands - colored paperTo create the body and head of our snowmanYou need to inflate two balloons, preferably of different diameters. You don't need to inflate the balloons too much, they should look like two snow globes for a real snowman. Next, you need to wrap the balloons with a thread soaked in glue. You need to wrap the balloons in several layers, but with gaps so that it looks delicate. You will need a lot of glue, 2-3 tubes. You can wrap the balloons in two ways. The first way - you can lay out the threads on paper, coat them with glue and wrap the balloons with them. The second way - you need to thread the thread through a needle and pierce the tube of glue with this needle. The thread, passing through the jar of glue, will be moistened with glue itself, this method is much more practical and convenient. If it seems to you that the balloon is not completely saturated with glue, then you can coat it with glue on top additionally.After the threads on the balls have been soakedcompletely, you need to leave them to dry for 8-10 hours. It is important to wait until the threads are completely dry, otherwise the thread balls may become deformed. When the balls are completely dry, you need to pierce them, release the air and carefully remove them through the holes in our openwork threads. After this, the thread balls can be safely sewn together with any white threads.The snowman's arms can be made from any identical sticks or twigs. To do this, simply thread the twigs through the openwork ball, which serves as the base of the snowman's body.You can buy ready-made snowman eyes in the departmentfor handicrafts, or you can make them yourself. To do this, you need to cut out two circles of different diameters in black and white, glue the small black circles onto the larger white ones, and this will make eyes, which can also be easily attached to the snowman's face with glue.The snowman's nose is easy to make from red or orange colored paper.

We sew a rectangle of fabric along the edges, and get a cylinder.We fold one edge of this cylinder -This is the bottom of the hat. We gather the top edge and tie it with a strip of the same fabric, we get a nice frill on the top of the hat. We put the hat on the snowman's head, he becomes more and more cheerful.You can knit a scarf for a snowman, or you can make onealso made of fabric. To make a scarf we will need a rectangle of fabric longer and narrower than for the hat. The edges of the fabric need to be cut like this, the scarf looks almost like a real one.We wrap the resulting scarf around the snowman’s neck at the junction of the two balls that we previously sewed together.This is the snowman we made from threads!I am sure that the process of making a snowman will bring you a lot of positive emotions, and you will definitely want to make him a little girlfriend or friend.
