I hope that this counts. I genuinely had a really hard time finding materials with which I could build a snowman, and today one of my dad's Christmas gifts was packed in some styrofoam so I went ahead and made a snowman out of that, a paper hat, and colored with markers. I also put the two sections together with a toothpick.

This thing was a pain to stand up against something lol, took me a solid five minutes to find a good place :p

I started to eat him after taking the photo but then remembered I'm on a post-Christmas diet so I spat him out. Sorry snowman.
 
I know this is literally a ?crumpled paper with Sharpie face? but I didn?t have much things to make a snowman out of :^(
To make things more creative, I used some colored notes and shaped them to look like a dango family! It?s a dango-family-turned-snowman. Hope this counts! :)

Every time I have been to the beach it has either been too windy or I?ve been too distracted by kite surfing to remember and now that the deadline is getting closer I?m afraid to announce that that will be no sandman but I did use my spare time to make this little fella.

I hope you appreciate his little hat since I didn?t have a top hat of sorts!
 
I present to you now my sweet sugar cookie son, born of the finest ingredients and made with loving care by my own hands. Behold his dapper blue scarf which was crafted, like his facial features and torso buttons, using sprinkles.

His soft body could barely withstand the insertion of his toothpick arms, so he cannot stand upright. As such, I gave him a nice backdrop to lay on instead. Why should he have to stand anyway? It's Christmas, I say he's entitled to laze about, as are we all.

Please accept him, he might cry otherwise. His existence is tragic enough; to live for but a short time, only to be torn apart piece by piece and devoured. He needn't be burdened with any more sorrow.
 
For this event I made a real snow bunny to celebrate the cute new collectible! I also made a snow cat for it as a friend so it isn't lonely! Say hello to Kaamos the snow bunny and Susi the snow cat!

I busted out the cottonballs to bring to life my fluffy snow friend!

Ended up knitting at 3am omg. x3

His torso used to be upside down to look like a snowglobe. Now not upside down, made from an empty bottle I decorated with resin and stars, snowy flower made by wire. His comparatively small head... is a light bulb that just burnt out.
His eyes and nose used to be someone else's - some other snowboy that was on the Christmas Card - I ripped it off him bless him.
Now here's my little amigo the side kick at my kitchen counter. (at 3:30 am)

I hope this counts. His arms fell off 9 times so I gave up on them. His name is crumple if you're wondering. Also I couldn't find anything to use as a hat.

So I have to be at work right now (not enough PTO to take off a lot of the holidays) but that doesn't mean that I have to be productive. So instead I made a snowman friend to go on my officemate's desk. I'm sure she will love it when she gets back lolololol

this reminded me of the pixel art contest from that one fair lol

Hi there! While this is super cute and I'm a sucker for pixels, I'm afraid I can't accept as it goes against the following rule:

The final result must be three-dimensional - no paper cutouts.

Please feel free to send me a forum PM if/when you change your entry!

I'll accept this if you can redo it a bit so more effort is evident. You could add a hat, scarf, arms, or other items so it looks more like a snowman craft instead of just a paper ball with a face. Please PM me once you've done this and I can add your name to the list!

Here's my stab at a Vintage snowman, I couldn't find sticks or anything for arms and he had a face, but it wouldn't stays on. :/ his nose is a potato, lol, is was that or broccoli.
This is the first white Christmas we've had in many years to my memory.

He might look a bit funny but he's a real snowman at heart.

I want a droopy the snowman collectible!
 
Here’s the best I could do

so much wrong with this LoL
SxDxDFG.jpg

tried to make it out of icecream but you'd think it was 500 degrees in my house by how fast it started melting. And I very unfortunately had to take the picture with my 3DS camera because I blew the extremely short window of time I had to take the pic with my phone before it shut off (currently not working unless its connected to power) by forgetting the name card the first time. Bleh.

Soo lmk if this is too lame and I'll make another out of paper.. we're not getting any snow for a long while yet. :,[

This is super cute thou! And creative, I haven't seen since cream used yet.
 
Here's my snowy sidekick down below:

- My snow buddy kept falling apart when I tried to tape it together, but I eventually got it to stick together and added some stuff on to it.

My snow dude! I wish I got better stuff but I think this one came out really well! I used a bottle of nail polish as its body base and the tiny hat from my new eraser (next to my creation).
