Recently, it has become very popular to give small gifts made by oneself to one's relatives and friends for the holidays. More and more people appear who are passionate about this or that technique of making souvenirs. There are new master classes that describe in detail how to make crafts with your own hands and what holiday they can be timed to. For example, a snowman will be a very relevant and cute gift for New Year's celebrations. A cheerful character familiar to everyone since childhood. It is very easy to make and does not require any special skills.

So, in order to make a New Year's snowman, you will need the following materials and tools:

- white yarn;

- glue gun;

- several beautiful branches of elm;

- sheet of cardboard;

- a small piece of blue satin or other fabric;

- ribbons, beads, small buttons.

A snowman will be made from threads of white or cream color. It is based on two pompoms, similar to those that are made on knitted hats. For those who are familiar with knitting, making them will not be difficult. They are made very simply. A thread of yarn is wound around the index and middle fingers of the left hand and pressed against the palm with the thumb. After that, slowly, we wind eighty turns on the hand. So that the threads are not tightly pressed to the fingers, periodically push them to the side, loosening the tension. Having made the last turn, we cut the thread.

Now we need a strong rope about 30 centimeters long. It will need to be passed between the fingers and the coils. It is better to do this maneuver as carefully as possible so that the threads of the future pompom do not bloom. Having threaded the rope, we tie the turns of yarn into a tight knot, and on the opposite side, on the contrary, we cut it. We have our first pom-pom. In order for the snowman made of threads to be neat as a result, it is necessary to cut off all uneven threads with scissors. The rest of the parts are made in the same simple way. To make the pom-poms larger, use three or four fingers instead of two.

After all the details of the snowman are made, they will need to be fastened together. Tie the pompoms with the ends of the ropes that tied the turns of threads and, for reliability, glue them with a gun. Trim any protruding threads.

Now let's put aside our craft and take care of the stand. It is made from durable thick cardboard. Cut out a circle with a diameter of 15 centimeters and paste on top of the blue satin. Now we attach the bottom pom-pom to the base with glue. Press as hard as possible. This thread snowman is ready.

You can go tocraft decoration. This will require imagination and creativity. From large beads we make a nose and eyes. You can knit a fun hat with a small pom-pom from colored yarn. Our thread snowman must have handles. They are made, as a rule, from thin branches of elm, but if desired, they can be replaced with colored wire. We tie a narrow ribbon around the neck, which will be a scarf. Glue three small buttons or beads in a row on the bottom pompom. The design is completely dependent on the wishes and capabilities of the master.

Craft "snowman" - the simplest and most original small present for the New Year. It can be done with children. Such a souvenir will delight your loved ones and decorate their homes.
