To make a snowman out of cardboard boxes, you will need the following materials:
– Cardboard boxes
– White wrapping paper
– Glue
– 3 buttons
– Black craft foam
– Orange craft foam
– Scissors
Now let’s get started with the step-by-step process:
1. Wrap the boxes with white wrapping paper: Begin by measuring and cutting the white wrapping paper to fit around each cardboard box. Make sure to cover all sides of the boxes, leaving no exposed cardboard. Secure the wrapping paper in place by using glue or tape.
2. Glue the boxes together (optional): If you want to create a taller snowman, you can stack the cardboard boxes on top of each other and glue them together. Apply glue to the bottom of each box and press them firmly together. Allow the glue to dry completely before moving on to the next step.
3. Attach buttons: Take the three buttons and arrange them vertically down the center of the top box to represent the snowman’s buttons. Use glue to secure them in place. Make sure they are evenly spaced and aligned.
4. Trace circles for the eyes and mouth: Take the black craft foam and place it on a flat surface. Use something round, like a bottle cap or a small bowl, to trace circles for the eyes and mouth of the snowman. You will need two circles for the eyes and a curved shape for the mouth.
5. Cut out the shapes: Carefully cut out the circles and mouth shape from the black craft foam using scissors. Take your time to create neat and symmetrical shapes.
6. Add a nose: Now, take the orange craft foam and cut out a small triangle shape for the snowman’s nose. The size of the nose can vary depending on your preference. Make sure it is not too big or too small in proportion to the rest of the snowman’s face.
7. Attach facial features: Using glue, attach the black craft foam circles as eyes and the curved mouth shape onto the front of the top box. Place them in the appropriate positions to create the snowman’s face. Then, glue the orange craft foam triangle as the snowman’s nose right above the mouth.
And there you have it! You have successfully created a snowman out of cardboard boxes. You can personalize it by adding additional decorations such as a scarf, a hat, or even arms made from pipe cleaners. Get creative and have fun with your cardboard snowman!
