Let’s Get Started on Crafting the Snowman!
Follow our guide to craft a snowman or several, which you can string together into a chain. The snowman chain can be used as winter decoration for the Christmas tree or windows.
Step 1: Begin by connecting the two foam balls using half of a toothpick, placing the smaller ball on top and the larger one on the bottom.
Step 2: Cut a scarf shape from the felt. This will be stylishly draped around the snowman’s neck.
Step 3: Shape a turnip-like nose from the modeling clay. Use a toothpick to create a hole in the snowman’s head and insert the carrot nose. Quickly draw the eyes, mouth, and buttons of the snowman using a black felt-tip pen.
Step 4: For the snowman’s hat, cut out a 7 × 7 cm piece of felt. Wrap it around a paper-formed ball and tie the fabric at the bottom with a bit of yarn. Place the hat on the snowman’s head using a piece of toothpick.
Step 5: If you want to create a lovely chain of snowmen, repeat these steps until you have the desired number. Thread the yarn through the bodies of the snowmen using a needle, arranging them side by side.
Crafting a snowman chain is a delightful and creative activity that adds a touch of winter charm to your home. Enjoy the process and the resulting festive decorations!
