Hello friends and welcome to Winter time~!!
It sure came fast, didn’t it??
Let’s celebrate by making a Snowman out of folded Rosettes, buttons, sticks, and paper accessories!!
Watch the video below!
Let’s start by making our Rosettes for the Snowman’s body!!
We’ll need two strips per snowball- so 6 total! The bottom of our snowman should be the biggest so we’ll use a 3” paper for that and 2” paper for the middle and top!
Score at a half inch along the length of the strip- do this to every piece!
We’ll ‘accordion-fold’ all of these, meaning you’ll fold back and forth along each scoreline.
Now that all of our papers are scored, we’ll glue the ends of two together on both sides, creating this ring!
Squish it flat and it will start to look like a rosette, tighten it a bit and use hot glue and a paper circle to secure it!
It will want to undo your hard work, so you’ll need to weigh it down to dry for a moment! You might need a helping hand for this part!
Glue all 3 rosettes this way!
Now it’s time to make some arms for this Snowperson! Take a twig and snap it in two, we’ll glue these to the middle of our SnowFriend!
Now we can attach the body bits with some twine! Let’s leave a long string on top so they can spin around in a windowsill!
We can also start making the Carrot nose, pick our favorite buttons for their face, and make some SnowClothes!
You can dress your Snowman up any way you’d like! A hat, a scarf, a flower, anything!!
I think I’ll give mine a fancy hat and a bowtie, oh and some ice cream!!
What would you wear if you were a Snowperson??
Thanks for creating with us today!!! I sure hope you’ve enjoyed watching us make a paper Snowman and now you’re INSPIRED to make your very own!!
