New Year's Eve is a premonition of fairy tales and magic.
So it's time to make a snowman craft with your own hands. This is a favorite time for children of both school age and those who go to kindergarten. Therefore, they, as well as mothers, are interested in learning how to make a snowman out of thread. The result of a simple and fun activity will be an original holiday snowman craft that family members will be delighted with.
Tables:
only Of the favorite New Year's characters of adults and children is the snowman. The modeling of snow figures has been known since ancient times. In Rus', snowmen were held in high esteem, as they were considered winter spirits. That is why a broom was usually placed next to them - so that they could “fly away” into the sky, and the cold would stop as soon as possible.
And today the snowman remains one of the favorite symbols of the New Year and Christmas.
Children make them in the yard, and adults buy figurines and Christmas decorations in the form of snowmen. But what could be better than handmade crafts?
Contents:
A merry New Year's snowman is made from a variety of improvised materials. Cotton pads, landscape paper, cardboard, fabric, plastic, socks will do! The toy is hung on the Christmas tree, to give to close friends. The main thing will be the feeling that the snowman is made with love, with his own hands. Of course, it is the children who will enjoy the joint needlework.
A fake made from the simplest materials, like threads and stationery glue, will become quite original. It will take a couple of hours to create a snowman, and he will decorate the house beautifully.
You will need white and orange yarn (yarn), colorless stationery glue, beads or beads, paper, clear acrylic lacquer, needles, some balloons and wrapping paper.
The exact number of balloons depends on the snowman's handles. Stationery glue can be replaced with PVA. In addition, scissors are also needed.
Begin shaping the snowman by inflating balloons. For the torso, you will need one large ball, and another smaller one.
By the same principle, the size of the ball for the snowman's head (if desired, for the hands) is selected. Fingertips of the appropriate size will also fit - the main thing is that when inflated, they take on a spherical shape. The ends are tightly tied with threads.
The next step is to lightly grease the balls with vegetable oil to make the threads move away from the ball more easily, or with cream. The main thing is not to overdo it, because the threads can slip off when winding.
The next stage is quite predictable. The thread is well smeared with glue. In this case, you can use a sewing needle.
Balls are evenly wrapped with white thread, being careful not to leave too much gaps. A sense of proportion is required here, because if the winding is too tight, the balls can burst, and if the thread is too loose, they simply will not take the desired shape.
Wrapped balloons or fingertips are left until completely dry.
As a rule, children can't wait to start making the craft itself early, but you need to explain to them that patience is necessary, otherwise the snowman simply won't turn out. The recommended time for complete drying is one day. It is possible to speed up the process by using a hair dryer, but it is better not to risk it, otherwise you will have to start doing it again.
The balloons or fingertips are now pierced and carefully removed from under the threads, being careful not to deform the frame itself. A small oblong and blunt object is perfect for this.
The snowman's nose is also made of thread, but this time it is orange.
Such threads are wound on a special paper blank in the form of a sharp cone, wrapped in a plastic bag. Pay special attention to the tip of the nose.
The nose can be made together with the rest of the frame, since it will also take time to dry completely.
After removing the blank, the nose of the orange threads is cut to the desired size. It is carefully sewn to a spherical blank intended for the head.
The eyes are embroidered with black thread, or beads (dark beads) are glued on. Of course, here you can dream up - come up with a mouth for a snowman, blush it with a makeup brush, etc.
The balls are connected to each other by threads in the most rigid areas. If they want to hang the craft, do not forget to also make a thread loop at the top. If desired, the snowman can come up with a hat and a scarf. Small twigs are suitable as hands, although this is absolutely not necessary.
When the craft is ready, it is sprayed with varnish.
It can be either matte or with sparkles - at your own discretion. This will make the snowman even more solid.
If the craft is not suspended, but placed, the bottom ball can be glued inside with cotton wool, or a cardboard disk (paper disk) sufficiently smeared with PVA glue can be glued to the bottom.
Helpful Hint: when connecting different parts of the body, you can make small indentations in the places of such connections, first spraying the area with a spray bottle. If the craft will be hung, it is better to do without it. The stitching points can also be smeared with glue so that they hold better. Leave the snowman for another day until completely dry.
The process of making crafts is quite exciting, and children of school and preschool age will certainly take part in it with pleasure. You should not be limited to the above recommendations, because you can come up with a whole costume for a snowman!
Any other one will be a worthy alternative to a snowman from threads - for example, crocheted and stuffed with cotton wool or padding polyester.
To do this, use a white buckle and a hook of 0.85 millimeters.
An interesting craft will be a snowman sewn from a white sock and stuffed with cotton. A headdress is sewn from colored fabric, you can also have a caftan. Black beads are perfect for eyes. A scarf will also look on such a snowman.
This craft looks good as a Christmas decoration. It can also be placed under the Christmas tree along with gifts.
From plastic cups, as you can see, you can even make a snowman with your own hands and not only.
