Steps to make Christmas Snowman:
• Outdoor Snowman: There are two ways to go about the basic structure - two-tier design or three-tier design. The two-tier design has a large sphere at the base, representing the whole body, and a small sphere at the top, representing the face. The three-tier style has an additional sphere of intermediate size, positioned in the middle.
- Making the body: Put two or three spheres stacked over one another
- Eyes: Fix the black buttons or marbles as eyes on the topmost sphere. Be cautious to place them well to prevent them from falling off later.
- Nose: Similarly, attach carrot for the nose area.
- Mouth: Place and press individual peppercorns one by one, tracing the shape of the snowman's smiling mouth.
- Muffler: Wrap the scarf or muffler around the neck.
- Hat: Place the hat.
- Hands: Attach the branches as the two hands to the middle or lower sphere, as the case may be.
• Indoor Snowman
- Body: Take three white Styrofoam balls. If you do not have the color, paint them in white. Paste the three balls together or skip the middle one, as above.
- Eyes: Use black marker, peppercorns, or beads to make the eyes.
- Nose: Create a small cone from red or orange construction paper for the nose area.
- Mouth: Make mouth with red or black marker.
- Muffler: Wrap the ribbon or piece of a scarf around the neck.
- Hat: Glue the cap or hat.
- Hook: Fix the craft hook on the back. You can construct one using the wire.
- Hands: Take three small pieces of wire. Twist them together all along the length, except a little part at one end. Bend out the wires from at the loose end to form a trident like structure. Fix it as a hand on the middle ball. Repeat Steps 9 to 11 for the other hand.
