A snowman made of threads is a craft that can be made with children before the New Year. If you approach creativity with all seriousness, then the snowman will turn out to be quite cute, and it can be placed in the house in the most conspicuous place so that he cheers up with his presence.
It is necessary
- - white thick threads (two or three skeins);
- - five balloons;
- - five tablespoons of starch;
- - 500 ml of water;
- - PVA glue;
- - colored paper;
- - a cap and a scarf (you can sew it yourself).
Instructions
Step 1
The first step is to weld the glue: put starch in cold water, heat the water to 80 degrees, then beat everything thoroughly. Add two tablespoons of PVA glue to the mass.
Step 2
Next, you need to inflate the balloons: one balloon to a diameter of 25 centimeters, the second - 20, the third - 15, and the fourth and fifth - 10.
Step 3
Dip the threads into a bowl of glue and let them soak thoroughly. Wrap each ball with threads, trying to distribute the threads evenly. As a result, there should be exactly five balls. Allow the blanks to dry completely (it is best to leave them for a day in a well-ventilated area).
Step 4
After the threads are completely dry, you need to remove the balloons. The easiest way is to pierce them with a needle and pull them out with tweezers.
Step 5
Next, the most interesting thing is collecting a snowman. To do this, you need to connect the resulting parts as follows: put a ball of the largest diameter (25 cm) in front of you and slightly crush its upper edge. Next, grease this part with PVA glue and attach a ball of a smaller diameter (20 cm). Glue the same ball with a diameter of 15 cm. As a result, you should get a figure of three parts, outwardly similar to a pyramid.
On both sides of the medium-sized ball, carefully attach the two remaining small balls of thread (these will be the hands of the snowman).
Step 6
Now, using colored paper, you need to make the nose, eyes, mouth and buttons. Orange paper cone - nose, eyes - black paper circles, mouth - an arched piece of red paper, buttons - red paper circles.
The snowman is ready, now all that remains is to put a hat and a scarf on him.
