Fun paper crafts delight children and help adults escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. They can be used for home decoration, gifts, postcards or Christmas tree. Today we want to share with you 10 beautiful and easy ideas on how to make a paper snowman with your own hands!
1. Origami paper snowman
Take a colored sheet of paper with a white inside out so that the snowman is in a bright hat. Mark the diagonals and tuck the corners with a ladder to the center, as in the diagram. Carefully lay in and tuck all the protruding parts so that the snowman's body resembles balls.
2. Snowman flashlight
This snowman is made on the same principle as paper lanterns, so you can put lights from a garland inside. Fold a piece of paper so that one part is slightly smaller, and make cuts before reaching the edge. Roll it into a cylinder and shape.
3. Quilling paper snowman
You will need a lot of thin paper tapes, glue and an awl, a pencil or a thick needle. Twist the ribbons into a spiral and give each piece the shape you want. Then, from such blanks, lay out a snowman, like a puzzle.
4. Snowman made of fans
To assemble the figure, you need to make blanks that resemble fans. Fold each sheet with an accordion, then in half, and connect in a ring. It remains to make eyes, a nose, a scarf and a hat or top hat.
5. Bulky paper snowman
For such a craft, take a thicker paper and a thin ruler to evenly smooth out each fold. Cut out the workpiece according to the scheme - one larger and one smaller. Fold, paint the face, buttons and make a nose.
6. Snowman-book
From such a snowman, you can make a Christmas tree toy, a keychain or a card with wishes. Cut several circles of paper, bend each in half and glue the sides together into a book.
7. Snowman made of paper cylinders
A very simple scheme that even kindergarteners can handle. Roll three cylinders out of three strips of paper of different widths, glue them together and paint.
8. Postcard with a snowman
Making a paper snowman for a card or gift wrap is as easy as shelling pears. Just cut out three circles and all the decorative details. Some of them can be made voluminous or textured.
9. Snowman from a cardboard sleeve
Wrap a cardboard sleeve with white paper, and cut a thin and wide strip of colored paper, felt or fabric. It will be a scarf and a hat with a pompom. It remains to make the snowman's arms, legs and face.
10. Openwork snowman
Ideal if you have curly scissors, but you can carefully cut the blanks with regular ones. The craft will look neater if the top circle stays flat.
