Cute snowmen will be a wonderful decoration for your home or office. A small craft can be placed on your desktop, windowsill, under the Christmas tree or attached to gift wrapping. Purchased snowmen amaze with their magnificence and variety. Manufacturers offer a huge range of toys of various shapes, sizes and colors. But you can only make an exclusive decoration with your own hands. There are guaranteed to be no analogues in any shopping center. The main material for making the toy will be an ordinary white sock. You can take other shades, but the white option looks the most realistic.
DIY sock snowman - master class
To work, we will need a sock with an elastic band, the upper part of which must be immediately cut off. It is better to choose socks with the longest elastic band. Now you need to cut half of the sock inside out and tie it along the cut line. The product is turned inside out again. Further progress:
- We put batting or cotton wool inside the sock.To create the most natural appearance, you need to make the filling round so that parts of the toy resemble a ball of snow.
- Tighten the sock material in the middle using an elastic band. The snowman will have a waist.
- Push the top to close the hole.
- The task of the master is to give the product the most natural shape possible.
- We turn the second half of the sock into a toy hat. Using a needle and thread, we attach beads instead of eyes and nose. For the nose, choose a red or orange bead. You can sew bright buttons on the chest.
- Separately, cut out a small strip of any material to make a scarf. The craft will look natural if you make the edges of the scarf slightly loose.
Snowman made from a sock - step-by-step instructions
Before sewing a snowman from a sock, let's prepare the materials:
- Stationery pin with an orange bead – 1.
- Black stationery pin – 2.
- Bright colored buttons – 3.
- The strip of material is bright – 1.
- White thread – 1 skein.
- Glue, scissors.
- White sock – 1.
- A glass of dry rice.
We cut the sock into two parts along the foot area, as close to the heel as possible. We put aside the material where the toe is located, the upper part is turned inside out. We tie a strong knot over the heel area and turn the toe inside out. Pour rice into it up to the line where the elastic band goes. We squeeze the product with our hand above the middle so that it becomes curly.
We tie a knot above the level of the elastic band, and tie the sock closer to the top. This will be the neck of the toy. We wrap bright material around it - a scarf. We take the bottom part of the sock, make two cuffs, and put the crafts on the head. We glue buttons on the lower and middle balls, we make eyes and a nose from pins.

Another way to make a custom snowman will require the following materials:
- Beads, pins, buttons, needle.
- A little filler - batting or cotton wool.
- For blush - red paint. Sometimes replaced with lipstick.
- Felt red, brown, black.
- Thread – white, red.
- Glue gun.
- The sock is white.
- A glass bottle, small in size - half a liter or less.
First you need to place the bottle in the sock and remove excess material. Turn the sock inside out, coat the bottom with glue, press the sock onto the glue and wait for it to dry. Place the sock back on the bottle. Further:
- Fill the sock evenly around the bottle with filler;
- In the center of the bottle, make a line with white thread - the waist of the snowman. The ends of the thread are tightened and tied;
- Make a seam along the edge of the product, tighten the thread under the neck;
- Draw a face with a red marker - eyes, mouth, nose, sweep along the lines with thread. You can use buttons or leave the face drawn;
- Decorate the toy with buttons;
- Put on a hat. We trace the neck of the bottle, cut out a ring, diameter – 6-7 cm. We wrap the neck with felt, cut out the fields. Using hot glue, secure the hat.
