Masterclass with photos and descriptions will tell you how to make your own hands a children's hand-crafted snowman
Winter is the time when children go skatingsledding down a hill, playing snowballs and, of course, making snowmen. This master class will tell you how you can make a snowman with your child from yarn. This activity is exciting and not at all difficult.For this we need:
- cardboard;
- scissors;
- glue;
- the yarn is white;
- felt blue, orange;
- beads.
First, we cut out four circles from cardboard. Two of them should be large and two more small.In each circle we need to make a hole. To do this, take scissors and carefully cut it out. In order to get into the middle, we simply cut the edge of the circle.
Then we take the first two circles (the big ones) andwe put them next to each other. It is better to put them so that the cuts are directed in different directions. We only needed them to cut out the middle. Now we start winding white yarn onto the cardboard rings. The yarn needs to be unwound. It should not be very short, but you should not make it long either, as it can get tangled. When the yarn runs out, simply unwind the thread from the ball again and tie it to the end of the already wound yarn. And so we continue winding.
We wind a lot of layers. We need to wind until the hole is completely covered with threads.
Take the scissors again or use a stationery knife for convenience. And start cutting the yarn along the edge all around the circle.
Now we thread the thread between two cardboard pieces.circles and tie a knot, pulling it tight. We take out these cardboard circles and straighten our pompom. It may not be quite even. In order to fix this, we will take scissors and trim the protruding threads. That is, we will simply trim our ball.
This will be the biggest lump for ours.future snowman. Now we will make another ball, but smaller. And for this we take two other small circles. We also put them on top of each other and wind the threads. After that we simply tie the resulting pompoms together.
Now we will make a hat and a scarf for the snowman.For this we take blue felt. But you can take another color. It's up to your imagination. And cut out a strip, one small circle and one large one. Cut out the strip as wide as you want the cylinder to be. And the same with the brim. If you want it wider, make a bigger circle. And the smallest circle is the top of the snowman's hat. Cut it out as big as you want. The diameter of the cylinder will depend on its size.
Now let's take a glue gun and glue it well.heat it up. Roll the strip into a cylinder. You can roll it into a roll, or leave it empty inside. Glue a small circle on top and a large one on the bottom. This is what the hat should look like.
Let's make a nose for the snowman.It can be either orange or red. We take red or orange felt and make a tiny cone. It can also be glued with a glue gun or you can use a needle and thread.
We make a scarf very simply. We cut a strip of the required length from blue felt (the same color as the hat) and make cuts along the edges to imitate fringe.
Glue the nose and eyes to the snowman's head. For the eyes, you can use regular small beads or even buttons.
Let's glue the hat on and put on a scarf.This is the fluffy snowman we get! You can attach a thread to it and hang it on the Christmas tree. Or you can just put it on the window and admire it all winter, and maybe even not only winter.
