That's amazing ❤❤❤
Thank you so very much. ☃️❄️❤️
Love this idea! Great craft for seniors in a hospital!
Ooooo that's such a great idea. Didn't think of that. But they are light and easy to manage!
Omg this is the cutest thing I've seen,
Awww thank you so very much. I do hope you try it! ❤️
This is so fun! Makes me want to try! Even got an idea from this to make giant ornaments! Hmm!
Yessss try it and let me know how it turns out for you. I made giant ornaments last year! Doing it this year again! The best! ⛄❤️
Hello beautiful how is your day this is awesome snowman thank you for sharing have a great day
Hello there and thanks for your lovely comment. You're welcome and have a great Christmas🙂 🎄❤️
Miss Crystal, you were the FIRST creator to give me ALL of the pertinent information! I am SO thankful to you. No one else I found told me what size of cups and the different oz. for each dome. No one said about starting the second row in the groove of the first row and that it would line itself up as you go. No one told me HOW MANY cups to use for each consecutive dome.
I say this because I saw this craft last year and started it by following what I could see from the tutorial I found. Well as I continued it just got more out of wak. I gave up in frustration because it wasn't looking like what I could see on the video. Bless you girl! For understanding that people need to know this stuff. Obviously you have a new subscriber and I will now check out your other content.
Be well! And I hope your channel blows up as it should. Much success to you!
From PA. USA
Awww Ish. Thank you so much for your very kind and wonderful comment. I'm so thrilled you feel like you have all the necessary information to create this craft yourself now.

Wonderful project. You are a joy to watch
Oh Elizabeth! Thank you so much for your comment. I'm so happy you enjoyed the video. Merry Christmas ⛄❤️
Wonderful project! You are so great👍
I know this is a couple of years ago, I just came across this today Nov 9, 2023. I liked how you explained about the different sizes of the cups.
It's in bottom 19 cups, middle 17 cups and head 15 cups?
Hello there Barbara. Thank you for your lovely comment. The answer to your question is no....I used 393 cups in total to make the snowman. Each section of his body (base, middle and head) uses a certain amount of cups....I outline in the video how many cups I used for each ROW of the section I was creating....as each sections has numerous rows of cups. I hope this helps. ☃☃☃
@@CrystalBest It does help a lot. How many of packages of each size did you get for this project?
I don't think I asked the question correctly. What I meant is on the first row of cups, did you use 19? I was trying to refer the the starting row of the base for each section.
May try this for the office!
Oooo yayyyy you have to show me how it turns out ❤️🤗⛄⛄⛄⛄⛄
Sending love from the TnT women's forum 😍❤💯

❤❤❤this!!!
Kiriiiii! ❤️ Thank you dear. ❤️
I so needed to see this. I'm doing a decorating contest at my job and I wanted to do the cup snowman on the door. And I wasn't sure if foam cups would work. This was extremely helpful
Oh yayyyy. I'm so happy to hear this. Please let me know how it all works out. ❤️
@@CrystalBest are the cups the plastic white ones NOT styrofoam? I want to make one for me & one for my sister too
Looks like so much fun. I would like to make one
@@June-rb1nx The cups are Styrofoam ones. I'm sorry it has taken me so long to respond but CZcams only notifies me of new comments.
@@lindabutler5055 awesome!!
So I am in the process of making this and I got all of my cups from smart and final and my
#of cups being used is not adding up to your description. I tried to do 26 for the bottom but it’s seems like it’s too many because now some of my Cups are not touching from
Top to bottom, it’s either to rim touches and there’s a gap at the bottom of the cup or vice versa. So instead of 26 cups for the bottom, I used 24(and kind of feel like I can take away on more to give it a more leveled & stable base)…..
Is anyone else running into this issue ??
I've heard this before. Apparently different brands of cups are made differently (taller and thinner, or shorter and wider yet they hold the same amount of liquid) so this cannot be avoided unless you get the exact brand I used. I'm glad you found a way to make it work still and hope it turns out great for you. Merry Christmas ⛄
I'm currently making now. I got all the cups from the link, and yes, 26 cups are to many.
This is so cute, I’m going to make some this year, can you think of a way it can be placed outside without filling with rain water or blowing away?
I was thinking that you can weight him down by sticking him on to something heavy.....like a block or piece of wood and with regards to filling with water.... Maybe use cup covers.... I honestly only use mine for inside so I'm just guessing here. 😁😂❤️ Let me know how it works out for you hun.
I am doing this. ❤️❤️❤️
Awesome. Tag me so I can see when you do it.
Can this be used outside? And if so what would you recommend I use to anchor it or weigh it down?
I really really love it!!
I definitely think it can be used outside.....cups are literally made for liquids! You may have to go turn him over if it rains tho lol. To anchor him maybe use a really sturdy glue on to a block of wood or use a sand bag on the inside.....oh that's a clever idea....so put the bag empty inside and then fill with sand and tie it. That ought to keep him put! Hopefully it wouldn't crush the cups. Hmmm so not too much sand I guess...if you try it let me know what works. I've only ever used mine inside. This is my 4th year using the same one. It lasts long!!! ☃️☃️☃️☃️☃️ Happy Holidays!
And thank you for watching and taking the time out to leave a kind comment. ❤️❤️🎁
Awesome! I definitely just liked and subscribed 🥰
Aww thank you so much for your subscription. I really appreciate it. ❤️
this is great! you have the best ideas - I am a new subscriber
Aww thank you so much for subscribing. I really appreciate it and I'm so happy you enjoy the video! ❤️
Hey Miss Crystal! It's me again. I could tell plainly that you left the top of the bottom snow ball, the base, open at the top so that the middle section, the body, could sit in the, I'll call it the cradle. But the I did not see if you used the same method between the middle and the top?
Did you just sit the head as a complete sphere on the middle as a complete sphere?
Or did you leave a section of the middle open like the bottom and sit the head down into it for stability?
If you just put the complete spheres together, how did you adhere them so they won't roll of if bumped or wind blown?
Thanx for ur help if you can. I'll understand if you can't. Be well!
Hi there Ish. No problem at all ❤️❤️ Yes I absolutely left the bottom section more open to fit the middle ball. The top and middle are full circles and just rest on each other for me. The scarf and the lights help them stay together. I only use mine inside so blowing away isn't an issue for me and it goes in a corner where it wouldn't be knocked down. You can. However hot glue them together if you would like. Or you can leave one of the rows off the top section of the middle ball so the top ball fits in nicely. I left mine as is because I like to break it down to store it so I can use it over and over. I've had the same one for 4 years now. ☃️❤️
@@CrystalBest Oh thank you! You're such a delight. Yes mine will be for outside and I will surely bolt it down somehow. I'll just bug you one last time to let you know if I worked everything out and was successful. 😃💌
I so love this new watcher found you on ig and I'm loving it here
Aww thank you so very much for your kind comment. Welcome to my channel. I'm so glad you like it here. ❤️
@@CrystalBest thank you I'm fasho making this for my house and the refreshing snowman do you have any ideas for a front door

Hi there. It was a 100 light string. 🎄❤️ and you’re welcome. Thank you for watching
Can you staple the cups together
Hi there. I believe you can. I have never tried it that way personally, but surely have seen people do it successfully! ☃️❤️🎄

It's all detailed in the description box of this video.

What did you use to make it eyes nose and mouth with
Hi 👋, I used black cardstock cut into a circles for the eyes and buttons, orange cardstock made into a cone for the nose (you can learn to make a cone with me here czcams.com/video/-CwYZFJnhm8/video.htmlsi=r8d0oiC6khWq2c68) and a strip of black foam sheet for the smile. All this info and more is in the video description ❤️
I can't find where you out how many cups for top and bottom.
It's all outlined in the description box of this video. ❤️
How many cups of each do we need approximately?
Hi there. I used 393 cups in total! In the video description I outline how many of each I used. You can check there for all the info you need. ☃️
Would love to make a small one for my desk at work . Any suggestions?
Tiny cups! 😁😁😁 You can maybe use small shot glasses 😍
could I use 8.5 ounce cups?
Truthfully, you can use any size cup you desire Brianna....and once you follow the instructions you should be able to make one whatever size you want. :) The only thing that may differ is the amount of cups you use for each row. Please let me know how it turns out. Happy Crafting.
Looks great! Wonder where to find instructions?
All the instructions are in the description box of this video. Let me know if you find it.
So how many cups for the bottom middle and head and sizes
All of that information is outlined in the description box of this video. Check it out and let me know if you understand everything ❤️

@@CrystalBest Hope u also support me
Can you give me a short guide on making this cutie snowman?
This is the guide. Doesn't get much shorter then this!! 😁☃️❄️
What did you use for the nose and buttons and did u hot glue the buttons? What is that hat made of
Hi there. The nose and buttons are all thick (at least 100 lb) Cardstock. They were put on using double sided tape and here's how to make the hat: czcams.com/video/y1S6J0CmeSQ/video.html
He's great❣️ How'd you make the hat?
Thank you. Here's the tutorial for his hat ☃️❤️ czcams.com/video/y1S6J0CmeSQ/video.html
How can you make the lower part of body. I cant get 26 cups in a circle for the base!
Hey, thanks for your comment. Are you certain you have the right size cups? At 12oz they definitely are suppose to make a circle.
Doesn't the hot glue melt the cups? Don't the lights melt them too?
It didn't melt my styrofoam cups at all! I believe it will melt plastic cups so it depends on what you are using.
love this snow man yet I can not get 26 12oz cups to line up, I can get 19 to line up. what am I doing wrong
Hi there. I'm so thrilled you are trying the craft. I'm not certain what you're doing wrong. What type of cups are you using and how are you sticking them together?
@@CrystalBest Hi Crystal thank you for your response, I appreciate that. I am using the 12oz foam cup, I did a still shot of yours because mine has a lip on as does yours. I got 19 around for perfect circle, then when I tried to keep going the shape got distorted. I ended up finishing the bottom part, and looks so cute. no-one else seems to have had the same problem as myself within your comments🤔 I will let you know how my little guy turns out. love your videos
Its be great if u included the cost for the projects
Thank you for the recommendation.
I can NOT find 6 oz cups anywhere in my city! Or online on Amazon either!
Whoa!! That's crazy!
I made it, a lot of nervs, 12 oz 7 oz and 4 oz, it did not work for me with 12 oz 8 oz and 6 oz, thanks for your presentation
Ahh I'm happy you found a way to make it work for you. Apparently diferent brands of cups comes in different sizes and arent lining up perfectly. You're welcome. Im glad you enjoyed the video. ❤

Absolutely. It's outlined in the description box of this video. ⛄⛄⛄ Let me know if you find it. ❤️

Absolutely!! The smaller the cups....the smaller your snowman would be! I'm working on something cute for this year so stay tuned! 🎄🎄🎄❤️
Sorry but my 26 bottom cups aren't working, what am I doing wrong
Oh no, how come? Are they the right size cups and are you using how glue to stick it together hun?
Yes I'm using hot glue , and I'm using the 12 once cups
Same here, 26 cups don't fit around. I think your cup count around is off.
Are you using hot glue #CrystalBest
Yes a regular hot glue gun ❤️
