How to complete this tutorial step by step?
Etape 1.
Here is the list of materials needed to create a snowman:
- A polystyrene ball Ø 7 cm
- A polystyrene ball Ø 5 cm
- 2 self-adhesive wiggle eyes
- 1 pipe cleaner (Length: 30 cm)
- 5 wooden sticks (Length: 5.5 cm - Width: 0.6 cm)
- 1 colored satin ribbon
- Permanent markers
Etape 2.
Cut 2 wooden sticks into 2 pieces each to obtain 4 smaller sticks.
Insert 3 of the 4 pieces obtained into the polystyrene ball Ø 7 cm to form a tripod (see photo beside).
Let the rounded part of the 3 sticks protrude by about 1 to 1.5 cm.
At the end of this step, the ball should balance thanks to the formed tripod.
Etape 3.
Insert 3 sticks into the polystyrene ball as shown in the adjacent photo.
The 2 lateral sticks will be the arms of the figure, and the central stick will support the head of the figure.
Etape 4.
Stick the polystyrene ball Ø 5 cm onto the central stick to attach the head of the snowman.
Insert the remaining half stick from step 2 into the center of the small ball to create the snowman's nose.
You can now start personalizing your snowman with self-adhesive wiggle eyes and permanent markers.
Etape 5.
Wrap a 30 cm caterpillar in a spiral and then insert one end of the caterpillar above the snowman's head.
Then, pull the other end of the caterpillar upward to add volume and create a hat for your snowman.
Etape 6.
To create a scarf, simply wrap a satin ribbon around the neck of your snowman.
Personalize your creation with permanent markers.
