For crafts you will need: any chocolate bar, white paper (A4 sheet for a printer), felt-tip pens, scraps of bright fabric and thread, small black buttons, a small piece of orange felt, as well as other decorative elements to taste and desire.
Work order:
1. Wrap the chocolate bar with white paper and secure the paper with a drop of glue.
2. Glue small black buttons where the snowman's eyes, mouth, and buttons should be. Cut out a small triangle from the orange felt and glue it between the snowman's eyes and mouth. You can do it easier: with a black felt-tip pen, draw eyes, a snowman's smile and buttons in the form of large dots. With an orange felt-tip pen - a nose in the form of a triangle.
3. Wrap the top of the chocolate bar with a piece of bright knitwear to imitate a snowman's hat. Secure the fabric at the back with a couple of blind stitches or a small amount of glue. Top tie the fabric with a narrow strip of the same fabric and cut the top of the "hat" into strips. Where the snowman's neck is supposed to be, tie a narrow strip of the same fabric.
The second way to decorate a chocolate bar is even easier
On the white paper in which it will be packed, we print a cheerful face on a color printer (download a picture from the Internet), and then wrap a chocolate bar in it (make sure that the snowman's face does not move to one side). In the middle we tie several bright woolen threads folded together with a double knot. On the upper part we glue two rectangles of black cardboard or felt (the large one is the crown of the hat, the narrow and wide one is the field on top of the crown). If desired, a small button, bead or bow from a narrow satin ribbon can be glued to the side of the snowman's hat brim.
By the way, such a chocolate bar in the form of a snowman can also be used as a kind of postcard - just write a congratulation on the holiday on the back.
Good children's associations with the New Year are, of course, Santa Claus, Snegurochka, we have them chocolate and very kind. A fabulous house made of chocolate, a chocolate snowman and a chocolate tree will be a great addition to the winter holidays.

On the magical New Year's holiday, all gifts should be packed unusually, even if it is a simple chocolate bar.
Ordinary chocolates, which are presented in packs during the New Year holidays, can be unforgettably decorated by turning into a snowman.
Watch a master class with a video on how to decorate a chocolate bar in the form of a snowman using improvised materials that can be found in every home.
Everyone can do such a craft for the New Year with their own hands, but the recipient will have a lot of impressions!

When buying sweets and chocolate, look at the expiration date of sweets, it is best to purchase products that were released no earlier than October, then they will definitely please all the sweet tooth with their excellent taste.
How to make a new wrapping for chocolate "Snowman"
1. Cut out a piece of paper that is the right size to wrap the chocolate along the length and seal it on the back.
2. Seal with a strip of double-sided tape, as shown in the video, first securing one side with a piece of tape so that the chocolate does not “ride” inside.
3. Draw on the front side of the snowman's eyes, first with a pencil, and then circle with a pen or marker. As an option, if you find it in a needlework store, glue on “shifting eyes”.
4. Make a nose out of orange paper by rolling it into a tube and twisting the tip of the "carrot". Then wrinkle the tube a little for more realism and charm of our fairy-tale hero.
If there is no such paper at hand, you can use a cloth or just draw a nose. Or print the finished face from the Internet.
5. Mark a place for the nose and draw a snowman smile with a pencil.
6. Then glue the nose with Moment-Crystal glue.
7. To make a blush on the cheeks, boldly draw with a red pencil on a piece of paper, collect the paint with a cotton swab and rub the snowman's cheeks.
8. For the hat, cut off the toe behind the heel so that the heel remains on the side we will be using.
9. Turn the sock inside out and sew up the hole that turned out at the cut point, as in the video.
10. Gather the heel to make a pom-pom.
11. Put a hat on the snowman.
12. For a scarf, cut the rest of the sock in a spiral (in a circle) to get a strip of the same width.
13. Wrap around the chocolate one or two times and tie.
14. Fix the ends of the scarf with tape. Draw the buttons.
15. Decorate the snowman with shiny fluffy wire (tinsel, rain), attach spruce branches, berries, beads that you have in the house from the New Year's decor.
Everything is ready! Watch the video.
Ideas for decorating chocolates in the form of a snowman photo
for balls - basics
100 g walnuts
10-15 pcs. tonsils
100 g dried apricots
50 g raisins
100 g prunes
a little cinnamon to taste
100 g white chocolate to cover
+ about 50 g white chocolate for decoration(it will undoubtedly take less, but it is better to have an extra one than not enough)
+ 100 g dark chocolate and 20 g (1 full tablespoon) honey for mastic
A little dark chocolate for garnish
+ multi-colored sugar balls, sprinkles, etc. for decoration
Parchment paper, brushes for drawing (high-quality! so as not to leave hairs on the surface)
Making the base:
Grind the nuts in a blender until fine crumbs. Grind the dried fruits separately with a blender until smooth (if they grind poorly, you can add a drop of water, but just a little bit!).
Mix chopped nuts and dried fruits in a bowl with your hands. From this mass roll the balls of the desired size. If there is excess mass left, you can make candy balls out of it, roll in cocoa or sesame seeds and eat ...
Melt white chocolate in a water bath:
cut it into pieces, put it in a saucepan and put it in a larger saucepan with water, but so that the bottom of the saucepan with chocolate does not touch the water! Put on a small fire. As soon as the chocolate begins to melt, turn off the heat and stir the chocolate until it is completely melted.
For tempering: put a bowl of liquid chocolate in the freezer until the chocolate begins to solidify (it should not become completely hard, but just start to solidify). This happens very quickly, in just a few minutes, so check the chocolate!
Then melt it again in a water bath, as described above. Dip balls into melted chocolate and place on parchment paper to set. No need to put in the refrigerator.
After hardening, glue the head balls to the body balls with chocolate. It is good to close the place of their connection with chocolate, smearing with a brush.
Making mask:
A lot has already been written about mastic on our website, but I’ll still tell you how I did it, suddenly it will come in handy for someone ... I did it for the first time, so if I did something wrong, correct me .. .
Melt dark chocolate in a water bath, add honey there and stir with a spoon until the mass easily separates from the walls of the bowl.
Take it in your hands and knead it properly, knead it thoroughly with your hands. A lot of oil will come out, so it's best to do this over a bowl. If the mastic cracks and crumbles when kneading (as in the first photo), this means that you need to add a little more honey (for this I warmed up the mastic a little again).
The finished mastic (on 2-4 photos) is very plastic.
After cooking, it must be wrapped in a film and put in the refrigerator for at least an hour.
Before work, the mastic needs to be slightly warmed up and kneaded again with your hands. I don't have a microwave, so I just kneaded it until it was warm and soft and pliable.
Dressing up snowmen
Scarf- roll a long sausage from mastic. Squeeze it with your fingers to make a flat tourniquet. "Put" this tourniquet on the snowman, cross the ends, cut off the excess. Mark the place of the "knot" on the scarf with a knife.
Beanie- make a rounded hat from a piece of mastic, attach it to the snowman's head. Make a small flat flagellum (as we did for a scarf), attach along the contour of the hat at the bottom. Roll a pom-pom out of a small piece of mastic and attach.
Arms- Roll up a small sausage and cut into two parts. At the end of each sausage, make an incision with a knife - this will be a finger, slightly round it. Give the handles a slightly rounded shape and attach to the body. Don't be afraid that the snowman's hands are dark, we'll paint them later...
The basis of the hat for the "girl"- cut a thin circle from the mastic. Roll along its edge with a stick so that the edges become thinner and wavy. Attach this circle to the head, gently press with your finger in the center, form waves along the edge.
The dress- roll a long sausage from mastic, divide into equal parts. From each part, pressing and stretching with your fingers, make the shape of a drop. Roll along the edge of the drop from the wide side with a stick to fill it (as we did with the base for the hat). Cut off the excess.
Alternately attach these drops to the body, slightly overlapping. Form waves along the bottom with your fingers. Handles do the same as described above.
Vest- roll out a long flat strip of mastic, cut off excess rounded edges (try it on a snowman to cut off the excess).
Wrap the strip around the snowman so that it fits snugly on the widest part of the body, but the ends do not converge in front. And near the head, she should sit freely, and the ends should converge.
Cut out small triangles along the top of the vest with scissors (you get a kind of "tuck" that will help the vest to "sit" better). You can cut out as many triangles as needed to fit the vest evenly on the snowman with your fingers. The adjacent ends of the vest strip must be folded over to form a collar. You can leave it like that, or you can still cut triangles on the collar with scissors (see the fourth photo).
A cylinder hat for this snowman can be made from a mastic circle and a small piece of cylindrical mastic can be attached to it on top.
Now that all the snowmen are dressed, it remains to melt some more white chocolate, keep it warm so that it does not freeze, and decorate the snowmen with a brush and colored sugar sprinkles.
I'm sorry, but I don't have detailed photos of how I decorated them. I just didn't have the energy to take any more pictures.
But I think that everything will be clear here, looking at the finished figure.
Snowman in a vest
Trace the waistcoat around the contour with white chocolate, sprinkle with sugar balls (just press them into the mastic). On the hat - a strip of white chocolate sprinkled with sugar balls. Eyes made of brown sugar balls, or you can simply draw them with dark chocolate, put a white dot on the side. Draw dark chocolate mouth and eyebrows. Paint the upper part of the hands with white chocolate, leave the lower part brown. We got pens in mittens!
