Snowman made of threads

New Year is a long-awaited celebration for children and also for adults. And what would this day be without a snowman? Of course not!

We recommend making this craft with your children; this unique activity is easy to make. The snowman will decorate the New Year's interior of an apartment or office and will delight everyone with his presence.

The snowman will measure approximately 60 cm in height.

Required

In order to make a New Year's snowman from threads, we will need:

one skein of white thread (not too thin, made of cotton);
balloons (five pieces);
PVA glue (one jar);
needle;
cotton wool

Making the body of a snowman

First you need to inflate the balloons; we will need them for the torso (three different sizes) and arms (two identical).

Then thread the needle and pierce the bottle of PVA glue with it. The thread becomes saturated with glue, put the needle aside, we will need it later.

Coat each inflated ball with vegetable oil to prevent the thread from sticking. Wrap a thread soaked in glue around the balls in a chaotic manner.

The balls should be wrapped so that there are no gaps. Then hang them in a warm and dry place until the threads are completely dry (best for 24 hours).It's worth being patient! The balls should become hard.

Once everything is dry, take each ball, pierce it sharply with a needle and pull out the remains by the tail of the ball.

For greater stability, the bottom ball should be covered inside with cotton wool, and a paper disk (preferably made of cardboard) greased with PVA glue is glued to the bottom.

Then connect all the parts of the snowman, first making a recess in the body. We take a spray bottle and spray the selected area of the joint, carefully make a depression in the moistened area. Then we sew the parts together with a needle and white thread. For better fastening, it is worth applying glue to the stitching areas. Leave the future snowman to dry completely.

Now that the body of our New Year's guest is ready, let's work on the hands. Glue two small balls to the middle ball at the same height.

Decorating the snowman

Then we glue the eyes with Moment super glue. The nose, mouth and buttons can be made from colored paper or fabric.

We put on a scarf, a hat and the final touch - brown the snowman. A little blush will not hurt the snowman, but will only decorate him. Blush can be applied using a cosmetic brush and regular blush, which all women have in their makeup bag.
