Details to watch
- Glue overlapping areas only; the free mitten and scarf tips give a little lift. The snowman remains mostly flat.

- The colour comes from your paper. Leave the eyes white around each black pupil; no black paper pieces are needed.
How the craft comes together
These are the main making stages. The complete English PDF has 18 individually illustrated steps and the project patterns.
Prepare the named paper colours
Use white card for the body, head, feet, hat brim, pompom, mittens and eye ovals. Prepare teal for the hat, red for the scarf and ribbons, green and yellow for the gifts, pink for cheeks and orange for the nose.
Cut and dry-fit the snowman
Print or trace the patterns at full size. Place the body over the feet so about 1.6 cm of each foot remains visible, then overlap the head onto the body by about 3 mm. Check the arrangement before gluing.
Layer the hat and scarf
Add the teal cap, then its white brim and pompom. Place the red scarf tail before the collar so the collar hides the join. Leave the rounded lower scarf end free.
Make the presents and hugging hands
Put red cross ribbons on the green and yellow gifts, then their upright ribbons. Attach the green gift first and overlap it with the wider yellow gift. Place the white mittens over the gift edges with thumbs pointing inward.
Draw and finish the face
Draw black pupils inside the white eye ovals, leaving a tiny white highlight. Add pink cheeks and the orange nose pointing right. Practise a black U-shaped smile on scrap paper, then draw it below the nose. Let the glue dry before gently curling free tips.

Questions before you start
Do I need a colour printer for the snowman template?
No. Read the colour instructions on screen. Print pages 12-15 in black and white at Actual size / 100%, or trace the full-size outlines onto the named coloured paper.
Is this a flat snowman or a freestanding decoration?
It is a mostly flat layered-paper craft, about 13 x 22 cm. A few free mitten and scarf tips can be gently curled; the guide does not make a freestanding figure.
Which parts do children draw themselves?
Use a black pen for the pupils, U-shaped smile, scarf lines and mitten cuffs. The pink cheeks and orange carrot nose are cut from coloured paper.
Can younger children make this Christmas craft?
The suggested age is 6+ with adult help. A grown-up can prepare the smaller eye, cheek and ribbon pieces and assist with cutting.
