- The hair of the Snow Maiden is formed from yellow paper, for this the strips are cut into small curls. To make the hair more close to the real hairstyle, their ends can be curled with scissors.
- A dress of the Snow Maiden is glued from blue paper, which has puffy sleeves.
- After creating the basic elements of the craft, you can start decorating. Several strips are cut out of white paper, which are cut on both sides to form a lush fringe. Such blanks are attached to the lower part of the dress and to the sleeves. If desired, you can use rain instead of this kind of fringe.
- A hat is made of blue paper and faces are drawn for the Snow Maiden.

Use of napkins
When choosing a material for creating DIY Snow Maiden crafts, you should definitely pay attention to paper napkins. They belong to the most pliable material, due to which they can be glued, torn and rolled into balls. And having prepared three-layer napkins of different colors, you can create a Christmas decoration in the form of a Snow Maiden.
The manufacture of such a craft is carried out according to the following plan:
- The paper is divided into layers, folded in four and held together with a stapler;
- After the formation of a dense bundle, a circle is cut out inside and the top layer is pulled out (thus, the paper turns into a flower);
- The figure of the Snow Maiden is formed from these buds, and they are attached to a cardboard cone.
When using this material, it is not recommended to use paper clips more than # 10, since the paper breaks from large fasteners and the craft is deformed.
