MY FIRST SNOWMAN

Ok so I was sitting in my lounge and was kinda bored. What could I do that can keep me busy for a while and entertained?

BUILD MY FIRST SNOWMAN.

So I grab my gloves and went outside and started building the traditional way. If you don't know what that is, its when you make a snowball and you just roll until you get the ball size you want. I tried this and it was not working out for me. SO I came up with my own technique. It might have been the hardest way and possibly the longest way but it served its purpose. The event was meant to keep me busy and do something fun at the same time.

Step 1-

My technique started with me creating a ball as you normally would do and putting it in the center of the place of your snowman. Once you have your ball in place you just keep pilling more and more snow on it from around the area while pressing it and patting it to make it firm. Once you get the size/height you want, what i did was made like a flat platform. The third pic below displays what I mean if you can see it.

Step 2-

Repeat step one really just on top of your bottom. The most important thing to remember is that the center has to be solid or it will all fall apart. Than just do the same for the head just smaller.

So this is just the way I did it. I am sure if you youtube or google search, you can find a quicker technique. I had no prior knowledge and just went with it while I was out there as I was doing it and thats what my result was. My snowman came out very solid. You can literally push it at the top and it would start to tip over.

I am very pleased with it for my first snowman.
