Master class "Cheerful Snowman" or DIY plywood Christmas tree toy. Snowman made of wooden saw cuts # 4 Volumetric snowmen

Tatiana Bezmenova

Every year in our group before the New Year's holiday there is a thematic exhibition of crafts made by parents, children, a teacher, as well as those made by joint efforts, the topic is different every year, we had Christmas trees and snowmen, and mittens, and just on the New Year's theme, this year was also no exception, but I decided to turn to an already familiar topic snowmen, make new ones and get carefully stored, some old works (hand does not rise to throw out)... I got all of our snowmen, looked carefully, everything seems to be quite good, in good condition, and only one snowman, made once upon a time by Viti Bocharov's dad from wood cuts, I was disappointed, I thought, well, what could happen to tree, as it turned out, the circles cracked, cracks formed, which greatly spoiled the work, and besides, the hat was lost, and the broom of our hero fell into disrepair, and in general the color was once white, turned gray and faded, I decided all this fix the matter, because snowman it is very good and compares favorably with all works, some by its strength, solidity, so to speak, fundamental. If I tweak it a little, I decided, then this snowman can please the guys for a long time, and become a real rarity of our group.

I got down to business, I found an old bottle, cut off the neck, wrapped it in foil, so a new hat is ready for snowman, broke off a twig from a broom, handed a snowman in a wooden handle, how "new" it turned out, well, and decided to fill the gap with cotton, it was possible of course to overlay the entire stand with cotton, but in my opinion it would be lost wood"view", and this is what I like most about him, that he is all of wood, starting from the stand and ending with the handles. When all the cracks were filled with cotton wool treated with PVA glue, the entire product was painted on top with white acrylic paint. This was the end of the restoration. snowman showed off at our exhibition, and then I put him in our corner of nature, the fact that he is from wood serves a good service, because it is quite heavy, the kids do not touch it, but just look with their eyes (after all, small children strive to take everything they see in toys, and this has a different purpose - to decorate and delight with their appearance)

Dear friends, I think each of you in the group will have at least one such job that you never want to part with, and many of you, just like me, fake, hem, repair your favorite craft.

I propose to make a Christmas tree toy "Cheerful Snowman". In my master class, I use 6 mm plywood, but if you are not ready to cut from plywood, you can replace it with thick cardboard, or glue a blank from several layers of thin cardboard.

Materials:

  • plywood or cardboard blank
  • acrylic paints: white, blue, orange, red, green, brown, silver, gold
  • brushes (columns, protein, synthetics) round No. 1 and 4, flat No. 8-10
  • cotton pads or a piece of foam rubber
  • cotton threads (for example, "Iris") - red and brown
  • thin crochet hook
  • scissors

Cut out parts for making a snowman

Step 1


Advice: so that the rows are even, you can first outline them with a thin line with paint or pencil.


Step 2

  1. We knit a scarf for a snowman with a thin crochet of red threads. The scarf should be about 8-10 cm long. If you are not knitting, you can make a scarf from fabric or braid.
  2. We connect the head to the torso, the torso to the legs using brown threads. In the hole on the mittens, we fasten the thread, folded in half. At a distance of 3-4 cm from the mittens, we tie a knot on the threads. We thread one thread through the hole on the snowman's body and fasten the resulting hand with a knot.
  3. You can hang a Christmas tree toy on a brown thread or on a decorative ribbon (satin, nylon, with lurex ...).
  4. Using PVA glue or "Moment" glue the "Box with gifts" on the body. We glue one mittens on the snowman's body, one on the box as if he was holding the box with his hand.
  5. We tie a scarf.
