Then you will need to glue two more strips diagonally. If you want an airy result, you can stop there. If you want to make a more stable craft with a small number of holes, then you need to glue two more strips diagonally. Lift all the strips up and glue them together.

Now we draw 16 more circles, the diameter should correspond to the bottom circle of the silhouette. To simplify the work, fold the paper sheet in half three times, draw two circles and cut them out, we get exactly 16 blanks.
Next, take a rope or ribbon, fold it in half and glue it to the top part of the silhouette so that the ends of the rope extend beyond the bottom circle; these will be the snowman’s legs, which need to be decorated with beads.

We glue the second part of the silhouette on top of the rope, and the rope ends up inside the snowman.
We take 8 circles, fold them in half and start gluing them together, that is, we put the halves next to each other and get a three-dimensional ball, which we glue to one side of the snowman.
Now we take 8 more circles, also make a three-dimensional ball out of them and glue them to the other half, we get a three-dimensional round silhouette.
