What is an integral part of a children's New Year's gift? Of course, sweets! Surely you, when going to visit friends who have a child, bought him chocolate. And if you present it in a special way, decorated in New Year’s style, the gift will turn into not only a tasty, but also a fun surprise. An ordinary chocolate bar can be beautifully packaged by making a snowman out of it. So, he will tell you in detail and consistently how to make the packaging for the Snowman chocolate bar with your own hands, the master class offered below.

To create a festive New Year's packaging for a chocolate bar in the shape of a snowman you will need:

- any chocolate bar;
- a sheet of white paper;
- PVA glue;
- some orange paper;
- double sided tape;
- a simple pencil;
- black felt-tip pen or gel pen;
- two scraps of fabric for a hat and scarf;
- stapler;
- paper for buttons.

The procedure for creating New Year's packaging for the Snowman chocolate bar with your own hands

1. Cut out a piece of white paper into which you can wrap the chocolate so that the edges overlap. Instead of snow-white paper, you can use soft blue, but in this case, you need to use contrasting material for the hat and scarf so that the packaging looks festive.
By the way, you can also make a cute one that can be hung on the Christmas tree. Children will also love this souvenir.

2. Glue the edges of the base of our Snowman chocolate package on the back side using double-sided tape. Scotch tape will help us do this as carefully as possible.

3. Using a simple pencil, draw a funny face on the front part without drawing the nose. When everything is drawn correctly, you can outline the sketch with a black felt-tip pen.

4. We make the nose from a piece of orange paper, rolling it into a cone and pressing it a little. Glue it with glue.

5. We cut out the buttons from colored paper, but when creating a festive New Year's packaging for a chocolate bar in the shape of a snowman, you can use your imagination and use real buttons, for example. We also plant them on glue.
6. Cut out two flaps from the fabric - one for the scarf (longer and narrower), the second for the hat. The width of the fabric for the hat should be such that it fits tightly around the chocolate bar and can also be overlapped.

7. The fabric for the hat must be stapled on the back side, and the remaining area must be tied with a beautiful ribbon.

8. Tie a scarf. That’s it, the packaging for the “Snowman” chocolate bar is ready with your own hands, the master class, we hope, will help you create the same one.

for balls - basics
100 g walnuts
10-15 pcs. tonsils
100 g dried apricots
50 g raisins
100 g prunes
a little cinnamon to taste

100 g white chocolate for covering
+ about 50 g white chocolate For decoration(no doubt less will be needed, but it’s better to have some left over than not to have enough)
+ 100 g dark chocolate and 20 g (1 full tbsp) honey for mastic

A little dark chocolate for decoration
+ colorful sugar balls, sprinkles, etc. for decoration

Parchment paper, painting brushes (high-quality ones so that they don’t leave hairs on the surface)

Making the base:
Grind the nuts in a blender until fine crumbs. Separately, grind the dried fruits in a blender until smooth (if they don’t grind well, you can add a drop of water, but just a little!).

Mix chopped nuts and dried fruits in a bowl with your hands. Roll balls of the desired size from this mass. If there is any excess mass left, you can make candy balls out of it, roll it in cocoa or sesame seeds and eat it...

Melt white chocolate in a double boiler:
chop it into pieces, put it in a saucepan and place it in a larger saucepan with water, but so that the bottom of the saucepan with chocolate does not touch the water! Place on low heat. Once the chocolate begins to melt, turn off the heat and stir the chocolate until completely melted.

For tempering: Place the bowl of liquid chocolate in the freezer until the chocolate begins to harden (it should not become completely hard, but just begin to harden). This happens very quickly, literally in a few minutes, so check the chocolate!
Then melt it again in a water bath, as described above. Dip the balls into melted chocolate and place on parchment paper to harden. There is no need to put it in the refrigerator.

After hardening, glue the head balls to the body balls with chocolate. It is good to cover the place where they join with chocolate, brushing it with a brush.

Making mastic:
A lot has already been written about mastic on our website, but I’ll still tell you how I made it, in case it comes in handy for someone... I did it for the first time, so if I did something wrong, correct me.. .

Melt the dark chocolate in a water bath, add honey and stir with a spoon until the mixture easily separates from the walls of the bowl.

Take it in your hands and knead it thoroughly, knead it thoroughly with your hands. There will be a lot of oil released, so it's best to do this over a bowl. If the mastic cracks and crumbles when kneading (as in the first photo), this means that you need to add a little more honey (for this I warmed the mastic a little again).
The finished mastic (in photos 2-4) is very plastic.

After cooking, you need to wrap it in film and put it in the refrigerator for at least an hour.
Before work, the mastic needs to be warmed up a little and kneaded again with your hands. I don't have a microwave, so I just kneaded it until it was warm and soft and pliable.

Dressing up snowmen:

Scarf- roll a long sausage from mastic. Squeeze it with your fingers to make a flat rope. “Place” this tourniquet on the snowman, cross the ends, trim off the excess. Mark the location of the “knot” on the scarf with a knife.

cap- make a round-shaped hat from a piece of mastic and attach it to the snowman’s head. Make a small flat flagellum (as we did for the scarf), attach along the contour of the hat at the bottom. Roll a pompom from a small piece of mastic and attach it.

Hands- roll a small sausage and cut into two parts. At the end of each sausage, make a cut with a knife - this will be a finger, slightly round it. Give the arms a slightly rounded shape and attach to the body. Don’t be alarmed that the snowman’s hands are dark, we’ll paint them later...

The basis of a hat for a "girl"- cut a thin circle from mastic. Roll along its edge with a stick to make the edges thinner and rippled. Attach this circle to your head, gently press it with your finger in the center, and form waves along the edge.

Dress- roll a long sausage from mastic, divide into equal parts. From each part, pressing and stretching with your fingers, make a drop shape. Roll along the edge of the drop from the wide side with a stick to ripple it (as we did with the base for the cap). Cut off the excess.

Attach these drops to the body one by one, slightly overlapping. Form waves along the bottom with your fingers. Make the handles in the same way as described above.

Vest- roll out a long flat strip of mastic, trim off the excess rounded edges (try it on a snowman to trim off the excess).
Wrap the strip around the snowman so that it fits tightly on the widest part of the body, but the ends do not meet in front. And near the head it should sit freely, and the ends should meet.

Using scissors, cut small triangles along the top of the vest (you get a kind of “darts” that will help the vest fit better). You can cut out as many triangles as necessary to “fit” the vest evenly on the snowman with your fingers. The touching ends of the vest strip must be folded back to form a collar. You can leave it like this, or you can also use scissors to cut triangles on the collar (see fourth photo).
A cylinder hat for this snowman can be made from a circle of mastic and a small piece of cylindrical mastic can be attached to it on top.

Now that all the snowmen are dressed, all that remains is to melt a little more white chocolate, keep it warm so it doesn’t harden, and use a brush and colored sugar sprinkles to decorate the snowmen.
I apologize, but I don’t have detailed photos of how I decorated them. I just didn’t have the strength to take any more photographs.
But I think that everything will be clear here, looking at the finished figure.

Snowman in a vest
Trace the outline of the vest with white chocolate, sprinkle with sugar balls (just press them into the mastic). On the hat there is a stripe of white chocolate sprinkled with sugar balls. The eyes are made of brown sugar balls, or you can simply draw them with dark chocolate and put a white dot on the side. Draw the mouth and eyebrows with dark chocolate. Paint the upper part of the hands with white chocolate, leaving the lower part brown. It turned out to be hands in mittens!

Progress

You can choose anything you want as New Year's gifts, but for the people close to you, the most precious ones will probably be the gifts you make with your own hands. These can be completely different things: holiday cards, decorative Christmas trees, interior items, topiaries decorated with pine cones and twigs, New Year's candles and toys, knitted items and much more.
If you are planning to prepare New Year's gifts and souvenirs yourself, it is advisable not to put it off until the last day. It is better to plan everything in advance, because before starting work, you need to carefully think through the list of gifts, based on the hobbies or preferences of your loved ones, and also prepare all the necessary materials.
I offer you a simple and budget-friendly gift-souvenir for the New Year “Snowman”. Remember, whatever you give, it must be given from the heart. After all, the main thing is not the price of the gift, but attention!

Necessary materials:

-chocolate bar
-fleece
-album sheet
- red felt
-a simple pencil, an eraser, a pink colored pencil
-ruler
- red gel pen
-multi-colored buttons
-eyes for needlework
-scissors
-stationery knife
- glue “Moment”

To begin work, you need to measure the width, length and height of the chocolate bar with a ruler. This is necessary in order to transfer the dimensions to the landscape sheet.

Using a simple pencil and a ruler, transfer the resulting dimensions onto a landscape sheet, taking into account the two sides of the chocolate and the space for allowance.

Using scissors, cut along the contour.

Using a stationery knife, make vertical cuts on the workpiece along the pencil line. Attention! Don't cut all the way through! Draw the line with light pressure. This is necessary so that the paper can be easily bent in the right place.

Erase the pencil lines on the workpiece with an eraser. We bend in the cut places.

This is what the “case” should look like.

Apply Moment glue to the allowance line and glue it.

It turns out like this rectangle. He puts a chocolate bar in there.

Form a hat for the future snowman from fleece, cut it to the required size.

Glue the fleece onto the workpiece with Moment glue

Cut two narrow and long strips of fleece. One will be used to form a pompom for a hat, and from the other we will make a scarf.

Forming a pompom. We tie it well and cut off the excess. We make cuts on the pompom.

From the second long piece of fleece we make a scarf for the snowman. Seal with Moment glue

From felt we cut out a nose in the shape of a carrot. We glue the snowman's nose and eyes.

Using a red gel pen we draw a mouth.

We glue the buttons under the scarf.

Use a pink colored pencil to “rouge” the snowman’s cheeks.

Earlier I made a girlfriend for the snowman

New Year's greetings from a snowman
The snowman sends a letter to his friend:
"I wish you a blizzard...
So that the blizzard lasts all year...
Ice, snowdrifts, snow slides,
And the frost is minus forty...
And warmth!"
(A. Usachev)

Watch a master class with a video on how to decorate a chocolate bar in the shape of a snowman using available materials that can be found in every home.

Anyone can make such a craft for the New Year with their own hands, but the recipient will have a lot of impressions!

What do you need:

• big chocolate bar
• thick white paper (a piece of whatman paper)
• double sided tape
• pencil
• black gel pen or marker
• orange corrugated paper
• glue "Moment-Crystal"
• Red pencil
• cotton swab
• new bright sock
• needle and thread

When buying sweets and chocolate, look at the expiration date of the sweets; it is best to purchase products released no earlier than October, then they will definitely delight all those with a sweet tooth with their excellent taste.

How to make new packaging for the Snowman chocolate bar

1. Cut out a piece of paper of suitable size to wrap the length of the chocolate bar and seal it on the back side.

2. Seal with a strip of double-sided tape, as shown in the video, first securing one side with a piece of tape so that the chocolate does not “move” inside.

3. Draw the snowman's eyes on the front side, first with a pencil, and then outline with a pen or marker. Alternatively, if you find it in a craft store, glue on “running eyes.”

4. Make a nose out of orange paper by rolling it into a tube and twisting the end of the carrot. Then crumple the tube a little for greater realism and charm of our fairy-tale hero.

If you don’t have such paper on hand, you can use fabric or just draw a nose. Or print a ready-made face from the Internet.

5. Mark the place for the nose and draw a snowman’s smile with a pencil.

6. Then glue the nose with Moment-Crystal glue.

7. To make a blush on the cheeks, draw boldly on a piece of paper with a red pencil, collect the paint with a cotton swab and rub the snowman’s cheeks.

8. For the cap, cut the toe behind the heel so that the heel remains on the side we will use.

9. Turn the sock inside out and sew up the hole that appears at the cut point, as in the video.

10. Gather the heel to create a pompom.

11. Put a hat on the snowman.

12. For the scarf, cut the remaining part of the sock in a spiral (in a circle) to create a strip of the same width.

13. Wrap around the chocolate once or twice and tie.

14. Secure the ends of the scarf with tape. Draw the buttons.

15. Decorate the snowman with shiny fluffy wire (tinsel, rain), attach fir branches, berries, beads, whatever New Year’s decor you have in your house.

All is ready! Watch the video.
