Etape par étape

Materials

To make a large snowman, you will need

- 2 polystyrene balls (Ø 10 cm)

- a wooden log (Ø 8 to 11 cm)

- snow effect dough

- a spatula

- 2 brown chenille stems

- 2 wiggle eyes

- a mini polystyrene carrot

- a small hat

- plastic buttons

- a black marker

- a glue gun

- a pair of scissors

Step 1

Glue a polystyrene ball to the center of the wooden log using a glue gun.

Step 2

Apply snow effect paste on the log using a small spatula.

Step 3

Glue 2 googly eyes and the small carrot onto the second polystyrene ball to create the snowman's face.

For the carrot, remove the tops to keep only the body.

Step 4

Draw the snowman's smile by making small dots with a black marker.

Step 5

Glue the head of the figure onto its body using the glue gun.

Tip: To strengthen the bond, you can attach the two balls to a small wooden skewer or a toothpick.

Step 6

Glue 3 plastic buttons onto the body of the snowman.

Step 7

Cut a brown pipe cleaner into 2 pieces of 15 cm to create the base of the arms for the figure. Then cut 2 small pieces of pipe cleaner and wrap them around the ends of the arms to create a branch effect.

Next, insert the 2 pipe cleaners into the foam ball, making sure to orient them upwards.

Tip: Make 2 holes in the foam with a toothpick before inserting the pipe cleaners.
