DIY Snow Man

I am in love with this month of December. We can see houses, shops and malls all are in Christmas and New Year spirit. Festivities everywhere and shops are full of decoration items like artificial Christmas trees, bells, ornaments, snow flakes, Santa clause toys, lights, stars and many more items. But some hand made items at home brings a different level of satisfaction and joy. So here I am sharing an idea on how to make snow man. 


Items required are:
1- Cotton bundle (I got it from a pharmacy store)
2- Glue
3- Old invitation cards
4- Ribbon
5- Thread
6- Buttons and beads
7- Scissors
8- Bottle cap (optional)


Step-1
Take a big piece of cotton and fold it like the image below. 


Step-2
Make a round shape and tie it with thread.


Step-3
Try to pull the upper portion and make another round shape. But upper one should be smaller than the lower one. Then tie it once again with thread. Body of the snow man is ready now.


Step-4
Take a piece of ribbon and tie it around the neck. Cut the sides of the ribbon to give it a muffler look. 


Step-5
Now for making a hat cut two circles one big and one small and a strip from invitation card. I made two hats so I have cut four circles and two strips.


Step-6
By using glue join the pieces and your snowman hat is ready .



Step-7
Take a yellow or orange invitation card to make the carrot nose of snow man. Cut a small triangle and fold it. Then stick the sides with glue to make nose. 



Step-8
For mouth cut a small half circle piece from ribbon. Now the final step that is stick the hat, eyes, nose, mouth and buttons with glue.  


And now the super cute snow man is ready J


I made a snow man family for this Christmas. Used a bottle cap as hat for the baby snowman. If you want to hang your snow man then stick a thread on the hat. 


Hope you liked this DIY and will soon make your own snowman for this Christmas. If you have already made anything like this then share on my Facebook page I would love to see it. For more ideas click here to like my page on Facebook.
