Materials you will need:
- 3 styrofoam balls (small, medium, and large)
- White acrylic paint
- Paintbrush
- Black and orange felt
- Glue
- Scissors
- Twigs
- Fabric scarf
- Buttons or beads (optional)
Step 1: Paint the Styrofoam Balls
Start by painting each styrofoam ball with white acrylic paint. This will serve as the base color for your snowman. Let the paint dry completely before moving on to the next step.
Step 2: Assemble the Snowman
Take the largest styrofoam ball and place it at the bottom as the snowman’s body. Use glue to secure it in place. Repeat the same process with the medium-sized and small styrofoam balls, stacking them on top of each other to create the snowman’s head and body.
Step 3: Decorate the Snowman’s Face
Cut out two small circles from the black felt to create the snowman’s eyes. Glue them onto the middle styrofoam ball. Cut a small triangle from the orange felt to make the snowman’s carrot nose. Glue it below the eyes. Allow the glue to dry before proceeding to the next step.
Step 4: Add Arms and Buttons
Find two twigs that are approximately the same length and glue them to the sides of the middle styrofoam ball to create the snowman’s arms. If desired, you can also glue buttons or beads onto the snowman’s body to resemble buttons on a coat.
Step 5: Finishing Touches
Wrap a fabric scarf around the snowman’s neck to add a cozy touch. You can also get creative and give your snowman a hat, earmuffs, or a broomstick made from additional materials you have on hand. Let your imagination run wild!
And there you have it – a beautiful snowman crafted from styrofoam balls. Display it proudly on your mantel, as a centerpiece, or anywhere you want to bring a touch of winter magic.
If you’re feeling extra creative, invite your friends and family to join in on the fun and have a snowman-making party. It’s a great way to bond and create lasting memories during the winter season.
