The New Year 2019 of the Yellow Earth Pig is approaching, and each of us is preparing for this wonderful holiday. Someone plans to celebrate the holiday at home, with family, and someone, on the contrary, in a noisy company of friends, on the street. In both cases, I would like to decorate the New Year's meeting place beautifully. Usually, the New Year's decoration of the dwelling consists of a Christmas tree, all kinds of garlands and beautiful festive compositions from Christmas tree branches and tinsel. On the street, traditionally, a snowman is made from snow and decorated with various funny accessories. But what if you want to have such a funny snowman in your apartment, or it so happened that there is little or no snow on the street? For such cases, we offer some great ideas on how to make a snowman for the New Year 2019 with your own hands from improvised materials.

Snowman from plastic cups

In order to make such a rather unusual snowman, you should not work for a long time, because creating such a miracle is as easy as shelling pears!

For manufacturing you will need:

plastic cups - 300 pcs.;
PVA glue or stapler;
plasticine.

Working process:

30 glasses should be laid out in a circle and fastened together with a stapler or glue. The first row is ready. According to the same principle, we make the second and all subsequent rows. For each next row, fewer and fewer glasses will be required, since they are conical in shape. Thus, the first lump should turn out.
The next lump should be more round and smaller. We take 22 plastic cups and form the second ball in the same way as the first. After that, turn it over and lay out the missing rows. If desired, you can make a third lump, however, in this case, it may be too unstable.
Connect both lumps and make sure that everything turned out correctly and evenly.
Let's start decorating. Make eyes out of black plasticine, and a nose out of orange. Put on a hat or cap. You can also use a scarf, ribbons, fabric and other elements for decoration.
You can put a New Year's garland under the snowman, in which case it will also glow. The main thing: show your imagination! Such decoration can be installed in the house or on the street.

We remove the needle, and wrap the inflated balls with a thread, previously smeared with a small amount of vegetable oil (so that the thread does not stick to the ball). Try to wrap the balls as carefully as possible so that there are no gaps at all. Once all balloons are wrapped, place them in a warm place to dry completely (at least 24 hours).
After that, pierce each ball with a needle and remove its remains by the tail.
We sew all the parts with white threads. For maximum effect, you can coat the stitching points with glue. Leave it until completely dry.

We draw a smile with a black or red felt-tip pen, and create a blush on the cheeks with a red pencil, with which we make shading on a small piece of white paper, and then lightly rub the cheeks with it.
From the sock we make a hat and a scarf: cut it in half and sew one part, where the heel remains, with a needle and thread. From the top of the cap, pulling it with a thread, we create a bubo. To make the hat seem mischievous, sit slightly obliquely, we tighten one side of it with a thread.
We cut the scarf in a semicircle from the second half of the remaining sock and tie it around the neck of the snowman. So that the ends of the scarf do not stick out in different directions, we fix them to the tile itself with double-sided tape.

Craft "Snowman" from papier-mâché. Step by step instructions for beginners

Remember, in childhood, papier-mâché technology was a fashionable technique for the manufacture of various products ?! She is still in trend. After all, the most elementary materials are needed for execution, and the whole process will not take much time.

Well, the souvenirs are amazing, you can’t even immediately determine what they are made of. Just a miracle! For the New Year, papier-mache-style crafts are just right!

If you are ready, then let's get started as soon as possible.

You will need:

Toilet paper;
PVA glue;
Cotton wool;
Paints;
Cardboard;
A flap of fabric;
Scissors.

Manufacturing process:

1. Prepare all materials. Cut out the legs from the cardboard.

2. Tear the toilet paper into pieces.

3. Add glue, stir the contents.

4. From the resulting mass, mold three balls of different diameters. Glue the first ball to the cardboard base, the second to the first, the third to the second.

5. Now pinch off pieces of cotton wool and grease them with glue. Glue the workpiece in pieces.

Additionally, cotton wool can be smeared with glue already on the product to smooth out all the bumps.

6. Dry the workpiece. In the meantime, cut out handles and a spout from paper or cardboard. The spout, by the way, can also be made using the papier-mâché technique.

7. Once the product is dry, it can be painted with white paint. Or don't do it. If you choose painting, then first paint and dry the souvenir again. And only then draw the eyes, mouth, eyebrows, smile and buttons. Glue the handles and tie a piece of fabric (this is a scarf). If you choose the second option, then do absolutely everything except painting.

The craft turned out to be very bright, and the snowman looks like a living one.

You can also make souvenirs in the following images.

Master class on making a volumetric paper snowman

Now we will create from a material accessible to all - from paper. I’ll make a reservation right away that there are a lot of paper crafts in the form of a Snowman, so we won’t be able to make out everything. This should be written in a separate article. Therefore, here and now we will consider the most popular manufacturing methods.

First, I propose to make a winter character from ordinary crumpled paper. Kids will love this activity very much. It's so easy to crumple paper).

You will need:

White paper (A4 format) - 1 whole sheet and 1 cut in half;
White paper (A3 format) - 3 pcs.;
Orange paper in the shape of a square - 8 by 8 cm;
Red paper in the shape of a rectangle - 4 by 15 cm;
Blue paper in the form of a strip - 1 by 18 cm;
PVA glue;
Markers.

Manufacturing process:

1. Take a whole white sheet of paper and crumple it into a ball.

2. Now unfold it and smooth it out with your hand. After this procedure, wrinkle the paper again. Repeat the smoothing and wrinkling steps until the paper is completely soft. Do the same with sheets of A3 paper.

Such lumps can be made from several crumpled leaves. Just wrap each lump with another sheet.

4. Crumple the orange paper too and form a cone. This is a carrot nose.

5. Now glue the resulting parts together.

7. Stick it on the head. Make a scarf from a blue strip, fix it around your neck.

8. Draw eyes, mouth, hair and buttons for the winter hero.

Now the technology is more complicated, namely quilling. Although there is nothing complicated here, just train your hands a little and everything will work out.

You will need:

Quilling paper (different colors);
Glue;
Scissors.

Manufacturing process:

1. Cut sheets of white paper into strips 5 mm wide. Next, twist them into two large spirals. This will be the head and torso.

2. Glue them together.

3. Now cut strips for the hat from different colors. Twist them and lay them in the form of a pyramid. Glue the details. On top, you can arrange a pom-pom.

But from corrugated paper, you can make an option in the likeness of the first master class with crumpled paper. And take and hide a gift in the product. Cool idea!

And here is a diagram for its manufacture.

Of course, do not forget that snow heroes can decorate not only the interior, but also. Therefore, make different applications from colored paper.

Or pendants from ordinary wide stripes look very good. And there is nothing complicated here. I cut out wide strips of different sizes, glued them together and decorated them. Here is the finished souvenir.

You can also use only one wide strip, and take small chocolates as a basis. It turns out a sweet gift.

Or think about products from ordinary circles when you bend them and glue them together. Thanks to this technology, you can make a Christmas tree toy.

You can take ready-made stencils and add cool little men out of them. Or use the origami technique.

By the way, it’s great if you take not ordinary paper for making crafts, but for scrapbooking. Look, the work is very bright.

An ordinary "accordion" made of paper is also suitable for creating such characters.

Or such striped Snowmen.

And this is the technology for making paper strip balls.

But for teamwork, use your palms. From them we can glue our character.

And of course, a snow hero can simply be cut out of paper and decorated with window glass. That is, do it. Here are some stencils for you. Save, print and cut!

You can also search for finished products yourself. Everything that concerns paper, everything is done not difficult and understandable.

5. Take a clean toothpick and grease it with glue. Place two cotton balls on it, starting with the largest.

6. Glue bead eyes, button beads, orange nose. Insert the branches in place of the handles.

Naturally, do not forget about the application. Make postcards or pictures.

Snowman from plastic cups

In order to make such a rather unusual snowman, you should not work for a long time, because creating such a miracle is as easy as shelling pears!

For manufacturing you will need:

plastic cups - 300 pcs.;
PVA glue or stapler;
plasticine.

Working process:

30 glasses should be laid out in a circle and fastened together with a stapler or glue. The first row is ready. According to the same principle, we make the second and all subsequent rows. For each next row, fewer and fewer glasses will be required, since they are conical in shape. Thus, the first lump should turn out.
The next lump should be more round and smaller. We take 22 plastic cups and form the second ball in the same way as the first. After that, turn it over and lay out the missing rows. If desired, you can make a third lump, however, in this case, it may be too unstable.
Connect both lumps and make sure that everything turned out correctly and evenly.
Let's start decorating. Make eyes out of black plasticine, and a nose out of orange. Put on a hat or cap. You can also use a scarf, ribbons, fabric and other elements for decoration.
You can put a New Year's garland under the snowman, in which case it will also glow. The main thing: show your imagination! Such decoration can be installed in the house or on the street.

Try to wrap the balls as carefully as possible so that there are no gaps at all. Once all balloons are wrapped, place them in a warm place to dry completely (at least 24 hours).

We draw a smile with a black or red felt-tip pen, and create a blush on the cheeks with a red pencil, with which we make shading on a small piece of white paper, and then lightly rub the cheeks with it.
From the sock we make a hat and a scarf: cut it in half and sew one part, where the heel remains, with a needle and thread. From the top of the cap, pulling it with a thread, we create a bubo. To make the hat seem mischievous, sit slightly obliquely, we tighten one side of it with a thread.
We cut the scarf in a semicircle from the second half of the remaining sock and tie it around the neck of the snowman.
