DIY snowman: master class
Long winters are a characteristic climatic featurefeature of our region. Therefore, a snowman in the yard of the house is not a surprising phenomenon. But a snowman at home is something special! Make a wonderful snowman from threads with your own hands with us, and your winter will be soft, smiling and pleasant, like this cute character! And if you make such a craft for the New Year, he will happily settle under the holiday tree.
To make a snowman with your own hands, you will need:
white wool threads; PVA glue in smallbottles - 3-4 pcs.; gypsy needle, through which the thread for the snowman would pass; three balloons; petroleum jelly; thick transparent glue (silicone, or "Titan" for ceiling tiles); glitter; toy or moving eyes; Christmas tree tinsel; a red cap from a felt-tip pen for the nose; a red ribbon for the snowman's mouth; silver beads.
Tips for making a snowman from thread:
- It is important that the threads are woolen or withwool content. Wool is not soaked with glue so quickly, so even after drying it remains somewhat elastic and is subject to deformation. Synthetic threads will make the ball "stone", which is not very convenient to work with and is not suitable for making a snowman.
- Clay will need a lot. Despite the fact that the photo shows only one bottle, you will need 3-4 of them (we had to buy more in the process). The thicker the glue, the more convenient it will be to work on a snowman made of thread.
- It is advisable to poke a bottle of glueneedle, and not pull the thread through the bowl with glue. Many recommend the last option, and it is in vain: thus it is very difficult to cope with the stretching glue, whereas at the exit the thread from the bottle is cleared of excess glue and comes out very convenient for work.
- At the exit point of the thread from the tube (just the exit, not the entrance), the hole needs to be slightly expanded, since thread during winding does not have enough time to gain glue.
- While winding it is necessary to slightly compress the tube of glue.
How to make a snowman from threads: description of work
1.We inflate three balloons - not much, just a little. But so that they turn out to be different sizes - like balls rolled from snow for a real snowman! Accordingly, for the head, body and base.
2. Thread the thread from the skein into the needle (there is no need to cut the thread) and pierce the bottle of glue with the needle through the entire jar at the very bottom, as shown in the photo below.
3. Grease the balls with Vaseline - then when you wind the threads for the snowman, nothing will stick to them.
4.We wrap the balls with threads in several layers, but so that there are gaps. The ball should be openwork. When the winding is finished, the balls need to be hung to dry - this is conveniently done on clotheslines, above the bathtub.
5. It is important to wait until the threads are completely dry.This may take from one to three days. Otherwise, the balloons will be deformed, because the threads are not hard enough. 6. When the balloons are completely dry, carefully untie the balloons, release the air from them and pull them out.
We press the balls a little at the points where they are connected and glue them together to form a snowman.
7. On a walk, look for a bush or tree with branches that look like handles. Coat them with transparent glue (you can use PVA) and roll them in glitter. Insert the handles into the middle ball.
8. Glue the eyes with transparent glue.
9. Roll a hat out of tinsel and put it on the snowman made of threads, threading the ends of the tinsel between the threads of the ball.
10. From tinsel of a different color, form a pompom and attach it to the hat and snowman in the same way.
11. A red felt-tip pen cap makes a great nose. You can just push it between the strings of the balloon - it stays there well.
12. The mouth was made from a red satin ribbon, pushing the edges inside the ball.
13. Finishing touches: silver bead buttons, a tinsel scarf and a bow made of red ribbon, bells on one handle. This is how the snowman made of threads turned out!
The best way to spend time before the holidays for the whole family is to make various crafts. We also recommend preparing a few - they will help you out more than once during the New Year's bustle!
