A little bit about safety

Please note that making decorations is quite a time consuming process. The main thing is. Advise your child how to properly handle materials and use sharp objects. Do not leave the youngest needleworkers unattended, as a child can swallow small parts or hurt himself.

So, let's proceed with a review of the main ideas

Snow Maiden from paper

Surely many of you have the Snow Maiden and Santa Claus at home under the Christmas tree. If these characters are absent, the holiday does not look like a fairy tale. If you do not have figurines, you can make them yourself!
To begin with, let's look at the simplest option, making a snow maiden from paper.
What we will need:
Glue or stapler, also a thread with a needle to replace the "stapling" materials may work.
A sheet of cardboard or A4 paper or larger.
Colored pencils, paints or felt-tip pens.
Beads and beads.
Pieces of fabric.

In addition, you may need:

Pencil,
Eraser,
Wire,
A fishing line,
A glue brush.

Where do I start?

As you may have already guessed, the first step is to properly lay out the leaf. To do this, take an A4 sheet of paper and fold it with a cone. Next, cut the "bottom" so it was as flat as possible, since according to our idea Snow Maiden will stand.

Perfect. Now our workpiece is ready. Symbolically, you can fix the Snow Maiden in this position, or unfold the sheet and pencil outline ideas for future decoration. This is especially useful (to work with the unfolded sheet) for those

Who is going to make different "patches" on the snow maiden. These can be beads on her dress, or some elements of the fabric. By the way, a very popular idea for the "face" of the Snow Maiden was the prototype of the Disney character Elsa from the cartoon

Cold Heart, so you can make a Snow Maiden in her image, which will especially appeal to young children and fans of the cartoon.

Once you are done with the painting, patches and additional elements, it's time to assemble the snow maiden. You can make sleeves from the same paper in the form of hands, and the Face can be painted in the form of a portrait. On the head, too, you can add an ornament in the form of a tiara or our, traditional Russian female headdress.

Additionally, you can decorate the Snow Maiden with cotton, foil, and other "snow" elements, which will add to her festive entourage.

In addition to volumetric snow maiden you can draw a picture and paint it with paints or felt-tip pens, and then you can sew additional decorations in the form of snowflakes and ornaments on it.

The Snow Maiden from a Bottle

Moving on to the basic "volumetric" Snow Maiden. For this we will need a plastic bottle of any size. You can do on the basis of a glass bottle, but don't forget to think about safety.

Then there are countless options. You can sew a "doll" of fabric, similar to the version with the paper cone Snow Maiden and then it can be put on the bottle as a base.

You can make a scrap bottle and just the same apply the imagination and sew on top of the bottle fabric, add our snow maiden holiday look.

For the basis, you can take one of the printouts from the Internet and already make a Snow Maiden, with all the decorative elements, according to the sample. In the same way, you can make little Snow Maidens for decorating on the Christmas tree.

The Snow Maiden from Thread

To make this Snow Maiden, you will need a skein of thread or cut strips of blue paper. You just tie them in the manner of an old Slavic doll, add a base of wire to hold the construction or attach the Snow Maiden to paper.

The Snow Maiden of beads

It has become quite popular to make Christmas toys out of beads. They look very cute on any Christmas tree, and their multiplicity adds to the holiday atmosphere.

Patterns for the Snow Maiden are present in a wide variety of variations.

Snow Maiden Barbie

If there is an old doll on hand, you can use it as the basis for the next idea. The essence remains the same. Just "dress up" and add festive elements to the dress of the granddaughter of Santa Claus.

Plasticine Snow Maiden

Plasticine, one of the most favorite materials for creativity of children. It can be used as a base for a cardboard or plastic figure and with the help of other colors or beads add different details to our Snow Maiden.

Like a mosaic the figure is transformed. In addition to the beads, you can use beads and other elements. Plasticine sticks together securely, and for an additional coating, you can use transparent varnish.

Instead of plasticine, you can give your child salt dough.

As you can see from the examples, taking an idea as a basis, you can develop it into a full-fledged creativity, which is not limited to fantasy. Allow your child to express himself and make the most original Snow Maiden under the Christmas tree.
