Do-it-yourself snowman made of paper napkins. Christmas toy from napkins "Cheerful snowman

Today I will tell you about the volumetric application of ordinary paper napkins. This exciting work is very popular with children even of preschool age, who still do not know how to use scissors. The main thing is to go to the store and buy more colorful napkins. And then every day create small masterpieces with your children. This application is interesting for both boys and girls.

- colored sheet - the background of the work;
- white napkins;
- colored napkins (blue and pink);
- a tube of PVA glue;
- markers.

For the base, you can use any colored paper or cardboard. Our craft will be white, so the background should be dark. Purple colored paper works great.
First, decide on the number of balls for the snowman (there may be two, three or more). Apply PVA glue to the base, as if drawing a snowman.


Then take one white napkin and form a ball. Try not to compress the thin paper too tightly to get a voluminous blank.


Glue the largest ball on the bottom.


Then form two more balls, slightly smaller. And apply glue to the places where the arms and legs of the snowman will be.


To make them, you need to divide one napkin into four equal parts and form oval blanks.

Note.

This work can be used in classes with children of senior preschool age and students in grades 1-4 in extracurricular activities or in technology lessons.

Runtime 2 hours.

For preschoolers, some details can be simplified. For example, do not fold a carrot from a square, but simply cut it out. Give out all squares and strips of paper ready-made (marked and cut out). I recommend making a broom with students in grades 3-4.

And we offer you to learn how to make a snowman with your own hands for the New Year. A wonderful snow handsome man can be made from the materials that are at home, together with a child, and decorate a room, a Christmas tree, or for handicraft competitions in a kindergarten or school.

In order to create an adorable snowman with your own hands for the New Year from socks, there are several ways. All of them are based on the fact that a part of any sock is fastened on one side and the filler is stuffed into the sock. And after the sock you need to drag in the middle, tie on top and decorate.

The article will provide several variations with tips and descriptions to make the creative process more fun and fruitful. We will try to make funny snowmen from various materials, from everything that can be found at home:

  • socks
  • plastic cups;
  • paper;
  • disks;
  • thread.

Let's start! The first master class is dedicated to a snowman made of simple socks.

Snowman from socks

In order to make yourself such a handsome man you need:

  1. Socks. You need to take white ones for the body of the snowman and you can take colored ones for the cap and clothes.
  2. Threads with a needle.
  3. Glue gun.
  4. Paints and brush.
  5. Beads.
  6. Felt.
  7. Sintepon.
  8. Scissors.

You can decorate a snowman from socks to your taste, not at all like in the photo. Here you can reap the will of imagination and use any material that you find at home.

Video tutorial on making snowmen:

We use threads

Next, we will describe two options for how to make a snowman with your own hands for the New Year from threads. One of them is quite simple. This is a pom-pom snowman that can be made for a school or kindergarten competition. For it we need:

  • white threads. Here it is better to take acrylic or wool mixture;
  • half beads for eyes and decorations;
  • ribbon or decorative braid;
  • fluffy wire. It is sold in any needlework store;
  • twigs for pens;
  • glue. You can use a hot glue gun or Moment Crystal instant glue.

Now let's start creating a fluffy snowman:

  1. Initially, you need to make 2 pom-poms from threads. To do this, take 2 cartons. One is wider, the other is a little narrower, since we need to make one large pompom, the other is smaller. On these cartons you need to wind the threads as much as possible. The splendor of the pompom depends on the number of threads. After we stretch the thread inside the wound threads, we tie it from one end, and cut the other. We get two pompoms for the lower part and the upper part of the snowman.
  2. Now you need to tie both pom-poms together by the tails of the threads.
  3. Our snowman is ready. It remains to glue his eyes and nose, buttons and twigs on the sides of the handle.
  4. We tie a ribbon scarf to the snowman. Before this, the edges of the tape must be cut in a special way. To do this, fold the ribbon along and cut it obliquely from the middle to the tip, unfold the ribbon, lightly burn the edges with a lighter.
  5. Now we make headphones from fluffy wire. Let's bend it as shown in the picture and put it on the snowman's head.

Step by step photos of making Christmas snowmen

  • white threads. This snowman needs cotton for knitting;
  • PVA glue;
  • air balloons;
  • twigs for pens;
  • buttons for eyes and for decoration;
  • paper or felt for a hat;
  • a piece of fabric for a scarf;
  • hot glue.

When everything is ready, we begin to make an openwork thread snowman:

  1. Inflate two balloons. We make one big, the second smaller.
  2. Pour PVA glue into a bowl and soak the threads there.
  3. After that, we immediately begin to wind the threads in glue on the ball in random order, randomly.
  4. When both balls are wrapped with threads, leave them to dry. It is better to leave the balls overnight.
  5. When the threads dry, you need to burst the balls and carefully pull them out.
  6. Now we glue both balls, a small one on top of a large one.
  7. At the bottom of the large ball, cut off the rounded part with scissors so that the snowman stands steadily.
  8. We glue the handles from the twigs to the snowman.
  9. We cut out the hat, glue its details and put the snowman on the top of the head, fixing it with glue.
  10. Now we need to stick buttons in the form of an eye and on the body of a snowman, for decoration.
  11. We make a carrot out of paper or felt, glue it in place of the spout.
  12. We make a scarf from a piece of fabric and tie it to a snowman.

It should be noted that the process is quite laborious, since you need to carefully craft the balls themselves from threads in glue, but when this stage is completed and the balls have dried, only pleasant work remains that you can do with the kids.

Such a do-it-yourself snowman for the New Year 2018 will be very good for an exhibition or decoration for a kindergarten or school group.

Original paper ideas

Crafting from paper is a very simple and surprisingly pleasant experience. Toddlers love this kind of art. For the New Year, you can make a snowman out of paper with your own hands. Below are several options for ideas with a step-by-step description of their implementation. Let's see how you can make amazing snowmen out of plain paper or paper napkins.

Snowman from the palms for the school competition

  • white, blue, orange paper;
  • pencil;
  • scissors;
  • glue.

Let's get to work:

  1. On white paper, you need to circle the palms and cut them out. Such palms need to be made as much as possible.
  2. Cut out a cap from blue paper - a triangle and three snowflakes for buttons.
  3. Now glue the palms. You need to make 3 circles from them: 1 large, 1 smaller and small.
  4. Glue all three circles together.
  5. Now we glue on top of the cap and snowflakes in place of the buttons.
  6. The nose, eyes and smile can be cut out of colored paper and glued, or you can draw with paints or felt-tip pens.

The snowman from the palms is ready. It can be attached to the wall of a child's room or to a kindergarten group.

Snowman from paper napkins

Let's prepare everything we need:

  • white paper napkins;
  • pencil;
  • scissors;
  • glue gun;
  • three foam balls of different sizes;
  • skewers or toothpicks to connect the balls together;
  • buttons for eyes;
  • felt or paper orange cone for the spout;
  • twigs for pens.

Let's start crafting:

  1. Napkins need to be cut into squares.
  2. At the largest ball, cut off the bottom so that the bottom is flat for stability.
  3. Now we cover each ball with napkins. We will glue using the facing technique. To do this, we wind the square of the napkin onto the back end of a pencil or any wooden stick. Dip in PVA glue and apply to the ball. So we glue all the balls. We glue all the elements close to each other, so the balls will turn out more fluffy.
  4. Then glue the balls one on top of the other.
  5. We fasten the branches - handles and eyes with a spout.

The snowman made of paper napkins is ready. You can decorate it to your liking, put on a scarf or a hat.

Applications with snowmen

Surprisingly, but the application can be made not from paper. The following is a step-by-step master class on how to make a snowman with your own hands for the New Year from cotton pads, which you can send to a competition at school or kindergarten. This will be a beautiful New Year's application. The child will do it with pleasure, but under the control of the parents.

To tell the baby the procedure, let's take a closer look at how to do it. Let's get ready first:

  • cotton pads. From them we will make a snowman and snowdrifts;
  • thick cardboard for the base. It can be any color. Blue, blue or purple will be very good;
  • glue. You can use PVA or any other for paper;
  • colored paper;
  • scissors.

And now we start:

  1. On cardboard - the base we glue a snowman from three or two cotton pads. Just glue the discs one on top of the other. Such snowmen can be made one or two on one cardboard.
  2. Now you need to paint the snowman. From colored paper, cut out the cap, eyes and nose. Cut out a scarf and handles with mittens. We glue all the details on the snowman.
  3. We will also glue snowdrifts from halves of cotton pads on the panel from the snowmen. You can cut out the rectangles of the houses and glue them on the sides by drawing windows with a felt-tip pen.

The child can dream up and come up with how to complement the application. It can be the sun, clouds, and so on.

In addition, you can make a wonderful toy from cotton pads. It can be hung on the Christmas tree or decorated with a Christmas wreath, walls and so on. Getting ready for work:

  • cotton pads;
  • thread with a needle;
  • a little synthetic winterizer;
  • felt;
  • a pair of beads for the eye;
  • glue. It is better to use a second Moment Crystal.

Now let's get started:

  1. Take 2 discs for the bottom and 2 for the top. Those for the top will be cut a little in a circle, making them smaller in diameter.
  2. Now you need to sew the parts together with a seam over the edge. But let's leave a little open edge for stuffing and stitching them together.
  3. Fill both parts with synthetic winterizer.
  4. Let's put them together one to one where there is an unsewn gap and sew.
  5. Now we decorate. We cut out a cap from felt and sew it to the snowman on top of the head with the same seam.
  6. Next, glue the beads - eyes. Cut out a triangle of orange felt and glue it instead of the spout.
  7. From the felt we cut out a strip - a scarf and tie it to the snowman.
  8. You can make a decor by cutting out leaves and berries from colored felt and sticking them on a snowman.

Such a handsome man can be hung on a Christmas tree by attaching a string to it or used to decorate a wreath or for other purposes.

Plastic cups - turn them into a snowman

And now we will make a snowman with our own hands for the New Year 2018 from cups, ordinary plastic disposable cups.

Such a snowman, made by hand, will turn out to be quite large. They can decorate an apartment, a group in a kindergarten, a class at school. You can put a garland inside and then the snowman will glow. But about everything in detail and in order.

Let's get everything ready for work:

  1. Plastic cups. For one snowman, we need as many cups as you need a snowman. For a big snowman, you need quite a lot. The first row alone will take 25 cups.
  2. Stapler and staples for connecting cups.
  3. You can take a real hat and scarf and then dress up the figure.
  4. For the peephole, you can take balls that are equal in size to the neck of the glass. We will paint them black and close them in the cup itself in the right places.
  5. We glue the nose from orange felt into a cone in the form of a carrot.
  6. We also need a glue gun.

Let's get started:

  1. Lay out the first row like this. We put the cups in a circle with the bottom inside and the neck out. We fasten the glasses with a stapler to each other. So we do several rows, each subsequent one turns out to be smaller than the previous one, since we put the glasses between those that go in the previous row.
  2. Now we make the head. The first row for the ball under the head consists of 18 cups. We do everything exactly the same.
  3. After we build the head to the body with a stapler.
  4. Now insert the balls - eyes. We will paint them black in advance and fix them with glue.
  5. Then we attach the nose.
  6. We tie a scarf and put on a cap on top. For reliability, fix with glue.
  7. You can put a garland inside or leave the snowman like that.

The snowman can be decorated to your liking. You can attach twigs to him as handles and “give” a whisk in his hands. You can attach a wide felt strap to the snowman or a real one if there is a suitable size. Attach it with a stapler.

You can make buttons from exactly the same balls by attaching them to the neck of the cup in suitable places. Or cut out snowflakes from colored paper and stick to the snowman anywhere, as if real snow fluffs lay on top of our handsome man.

Such a snowman can be made for a competition in school or kindergarten!
