Winter is coming, which means one of the most favorite holidays of the year will soon come - New Year. To give to yourself and your loved ones festive mood, we offer to make a funny snowman from plastic cups with your own hands. Using our step by step instructions, this will be easy to do. The product will not only decorate the house or yard, but also give a lot of joy to you and your children.

What you need to make a snowman out of plastic cups

Making a snowman out of disposable cups is not difficult at all. They taper downward and this shape allows the formation of spherical structures. You won’t need expensive materials or any special tools, because glasses are cheap, and there is a stapler in almost every home. In addition, the manufacture of such crafts will not take you much time and will become great way fun for the whole family.

You may need the following tools and materials:

• plastic cups - 300 pcs.;
• stapler;
• staples - a pack of 1 yew. PCS.;
• glue or glue gun;
• transparent tape;
• Double-sided tape;
• scissors;
• elements for decoration.

The number of cups may vary. This primarily depends on the size of the snowman, the number of parts of which it will consist, and the shape of the body - a sphere or a hemisphere. Cups can be selected as one size or different. For the body, you can take ordinary cups of 100 ml, and for the head, small ones, 50 ml.

Choose glasses with narrow rims as they are easier to staple.

It is better to buy glasses with a small margin, because during operation some of them may be damaged and become unusable.

The main tool for creating a snowman is a stapler. You will need the most common stationery stapler and a pack of staples (approximately 1000 pcs.). The number of staples used will depend on how the snowman is made. If you decide to use glue or double-sided tape, then you will need much less.

Glue is better to take universal polymer, which is designed to connect plastic parts. Great if you have a glue gun. With it, it is very convenient to apply glue pointwise. You can also use double sided tape.

Glue and tape are more of an auxiliary material. It is not necessary to use them, since the cups can be connected using the same brackets.

Instead of traditional white cups, you can use transparent ones. The stapler will need a small size to fit easily in a cup You can do anything with a glue gun Scotch is better to buy with a cutting knife With the help of double-sided tape, you can connect large parts of the structure Eyes, nose, mouth, headdress and buttons are made from colored cardboard.

Variants of snowmen from plastic cups

All options are quite similar to each other. The glasses are connected in such a way that the result is a ball or a hemisphere. This can be done in two ways: using a stapler or glue. Let's consider both methods.

Step-by-step instructions for creating with a stapler

This is the simplest and fast way. In addition to the stapler, you will also need tape. For decor, prepare colored cardboard, tinsel to decorate the Christmas tree, or a regular scarf. Cardboard is needed to make eyes, nose and buttons. Tinsel or scarf is tied between the “head” and “torso” so that the image of our homemade snowman is complete.

The snowman will consist of two parts - the body and the head. The cups are connected to each other only with the help of a stapler. We suggest making the lower part of large cups (164 pcs.), And the upper part of small ones (100 pcs.). You can, of course, use the same dishes, but then the head and body of the snowman will be the same.

"Sculpt" a snowman in stages:

1. The lower part of the body.
2. Head.
3. Attaching the body to the head.
4. Decoration.

First make the bottom. So that the snowman can stand on the floor, the bottom ball is not completely closed and a hole is left. The head is “molded” from small cups and also not completely covered. A small hole will be needed to attach the top to the bottom.

The cups are placed upside down inside the ball, aligning the outer walls with each other.

As for the decor, you can limit yourself to making eyes, a spout and buttons. Or you can give yourself and your loved ones a real holiday and place an LED garland inside the finished snowman.

Consider step by step how to make a snowman:

1. Open the packaging with the cups and take them out of each other.
2. Lay out a circle of 17 pieces and fasten the cups together with a stapler from the side of the rim.

   Lay out a circle of glasses on the floor and staple them together

3. This will be the basis of the "body".
   

   You should get a circle of glasses

4. Line up the second row in a circle: the upper glasses are placed between the two lower ones, as if filling the space between them.

   Lay the glasses on top and fasten them to the bottom

5. Fasten together the top row with the main one (the top glass with the bottom one and so on in a circle).
6. Fasten the glasses from the second row together.
7. Do the rest of the rows in the same way. You should get a hemisphere - this will be the upper body.

   Gradually you will have a hemisphere

8. In the same way, make the lower hemisphere, only it will already have a small hole and consist of four rows.
9. Connect the bottom of the sphere to the top using the same stapler.

   Don't forget to leave a hole in the bottom ball

10. Now proceed to the manufacture of the "head". Everything is the same: we build the main row of small glasses (also 17 pieces), then the next row (15 pieces) and so on until a sphere is obtained.
11. In the "head" we also leave a hole the size of one glass.

    Leave a small hole for the head, the size of one glass

12. Now you need to make a "rod" to connect the head to the body.
13. Take 2 glasses and make three cuts on each, 4 cm deep.
14. Position one glass at the very top of your torso so that each notched part of it is lower in the glass.
15. For reliability, wrap the glass with tape so that the cuts do not “go” up.
16. Put another glass on top of the first and also fasten with tape.
17. To prevent the glasses from falling out of the structure, glue their ends with adhesive tape to the inner walls of the cups.
18. Put the "head" on the resulting rod.

    When you attach the top to the bottom, you will get this design

Everything, the snowman is almost ready. It remains only to glue the eyes and nose, as well as make a headdress.

A snowman can be made in three parts, but then it will be unstable and you will need more cups and staples.

How to decorate and "revive" a snowman

Prepare colored cardboard, scissors and glue. It is better to use two types of glue. One for working with paper, that is, ordinary stationery or PVA, and polymer glue for gluing decor to a snowman. If you have double sided tape, you can use that. What and how to do:

From the same cardboard you can make a headdress, for example, a cylinder.

In the same way, you can connect the details of the structure with glue. Glasses are arranged in a circle and glued together.

If you want a snowman to glow like Christmas tree, then put inside the LED garland and connect it to electricity.

How to make a product with your own hands using a glue gun

You will need about 300 cups of the same size, a stapler, staples, and a glue gun. The essence of this method is that you need to combine the connection with brackets and the connection with glue. Do the following:

1. Lay out a circle of glasses (17 pcs.) on a flat surface. This will be the main row.

   By connecting the glasses together in this way, you will be able to form a circle

2. Secure each glass with a stapler.

   Don't worry if the cups are wrinkled

3. Apply glue to each glass approximately in the middle (make a circle).
4. Lay the next row of glasses on top. This way you will form a hemisphere.
5. Wait a few minutes and let the adhesive "seize".
6. Additionally, fasten the glasses together in the top row.

   Before you have time to look back, two rows of glasses will be interconnected

7. Next, lay the glasses in such a way that they move inside the structure.
8. Apply glue to each row and fasten the glasses together in one row.
9. When the upper hemisphere is completely ready, proceed to the lower body.
10. For the first row, you should need 15 cups (just in case, count how many glasses you got in the second row of the hemisphere).
11. The lower hemisphere should be unfinished, it is enough to make three rows. Then the snowman will stand steadily on the floor and not fall.
12. Make a head, also from two hemispheres. You don't need to leave a hole.
13. When the head and torso are ready, make a "rod" out of two glasses. With it, you will connect the upper and lower parts.
14. Connect the cups together so that the rim of one glass enters the rim of the other (you can make several cuts on one glass).

At experienced needlewomen problems with what to make a nose for a snowman simply do not arise. For beginner craftswomen, this task may seem quite difficult. When choosing a material, it is necessary to take into account the size of the craft and what it is made of.

A snowman's nose made of fabric can be sewn. For this, a red or orange patch is suitable, from which you need to make a cone. If the toy is very small, then instead of a fabric cone, you can use an ordinary bead or button, a piece of a red-colored toothpick. True, the option with a toothpick is only suitable if the toy is intended as a gift for an adult, and not for a child.

The choice of material for the nose of a homemade snowman should not be difficult. The main thing is to take into account what the craft itself is made of. The knitted nose of a snowman made of disposable cups will look ridiculous, in this case it is much better to resort to using plasticine. It would be unwise to stick and soft toy nose made of paper, it is better to use fabric or beads, buttons in this case. The decision often comes already in the process of work and can be quite unexpected. Most often, the nose of a snowman is done as follows:

• sew from fabric;
• glued from colored paper or cardboard;
• draw;
• glue the bead;
• molded from plasticine;
• sew on a button;
• insert a piece of toothpick.

• paints;
• tree branches;
• plasticine or Christmas tree toy (for the nose);
• cap fabric or yarn;
• air balloons;
• PVA glue.

Armed with everything you need, you can get to work:

1. Five balloons are inflated, their size must correspond to each detail (torso, arms and head).
2. The thread is inserted into the needle and the bottle of glue is pierced through. The thread at the exit from the bottle will be completely saturated with glue.
3. Wrap each ball tightly with thread and leave to dry in this form. This will take about five hours.
4. Only after the glue has completely dried, all the balls begin to burst, holding the tip outside. Just pierce them with a needle and take out the rest.

If you want to make a three-dimensional figure to put in the yard, then you will need some experience and special skills. But a simple snowman can be made using only wire cutters.

The stiffness of the wire does not matter. Its length will depend on how much craft you want to make. With the help of wire cutters, we begin to twist the segment into a spiral. The body should consist of 5 turns, no more will be required.

We fasten the spiral with a small piece of wire, otherwise it will simply unfold.

It should be noted that we do not cut off the remaining piece of wire, but wrap it in reverse side. We also fix the second circle, and cut off the excess with wire cutters.

As a result of such actions, we should get such a blank.

The last item is the hat. We will form the necessary shape from the wire, fix it and cut off the excess ends.

At the next stage, we fasten all the parts, and our snowman is ready.

To ennoble the craft, paint it. Choose the color you like best.

You can connect the balls with glue, or with toothpicks, as shown in the photo below.

So, the base of the snowman is ready. Now let's start decorating. First, let's make a hat. In our case, we use fleece with a width of 13-15 cm. To determine the length, simply wrap the material around your head.

Now we apply a strip of glue on one side and fix the material.

We cut out mittens from the material, which we glue to the base, and tie a strip of fleece as a scarf.

Using beads and buttons, we make eyes for the snowman and buttons on the base. We fix them with glue.

The original papier-mâché snowman with your own hands

Papier-mâché is paper pulp with adhesives, from which you can make various crafts. In our case, we will make New Year's snowman.

For the base, we need foil. We tear off a small piece and form one ball, and then the second with smaller sizes.

And now we fasten them with hot glue.

The plastic mass is made from single-layer paper and PVA. Just gradually mix them until we achieve a homogeneous mass. The resulting mixture is applied to the base of the foil. To do this, use a spatula or knife.

Let it dry for about two days. After that, we begin to create a scarf. To do this, we use the mass as plasticine. We just roll it into a sausage and form a scarf around the neck, which we pre-lubricate with PVA glue.

At the next stage, we make buttons and carrots from the mass. We also fix them with glue.

We make the base of the hat from foil. First the fields, and then a small barrel and glue them to the snowman's head. Since the foil is quite thin, it will not be easy to apply the mass. Therefore, we simply dilute PVA glue with water, put toilet paper on the hat and moisten it with a brush. We leave the craft for two days so that it dries well.

Now you need to decorate the toy. Coloring the snowman acrylic paint into white. The hat should be black. Paint the rest of the details in the color that you like best. Leave for an hour for the paint to dry.

The next step is to start artificially aging the toy. To do this, we dilute the brown paint to a liquid state, apply it with a brush on the toy and immediately wipe it with a damp textile cloth.

Draw the eyes and mouth with contour paint.

The vintage snowman is ready. It can be placed under the Christmas tree or simply decorate the room.
