If the snow falls apart, it’s no good for making a snowman. If you are making the snowman close to a building also provides shade for some of the day. {“smallUrl”:“https://www. wikihow. com/images/thumb/3/37/Make-a-Snowman-Step-3-Version-5. jpg/v4-460px-Make-a-Snowman-Step-3-Version-5. jpg”,“bigUrl”:"/images/thumb/3/37/Make-a-Snowman-Step-3-Version-5. jpg/aid24191-v4-728px-Make-a-Snowman-Step-3-Version-5. jpg",“smallWidth”:460,“smallHeight”:345,“bigWidth”:728,“bigHeight”:546,“licensing”:"<div class="mw-parser-output">

Make sure you are wearing warm, waterproof gloves, or your hands will start to hurt from handling the snow.
Stop rolling the snowball in the spot where you want the snowman to be. Make sure you start somewhere near that spot, and roll the ball so that you end up there. It often works well to roll the ball in a large spiral, but take note that this will leave an obvious pattern in the snow. Pat your snowball together every so often to keep excess snow from falling off.
Roll the snowball in a circle around the bottom section, or in a straight line away from it and back to it. This way when you finish the ball you won’t have to carry it a long way to the bottom section.
It helps if you flatten the top side of the bottom ball and flatten the bottom side of the middle ball. This helps the middle section sit firmly on the bottom section.
Making the snowman your own is all about creativity. If you have something else that you think would look cool as a nose, use that instead.
Other options to use for eyes are yellow ping-pong balls, blue rubber bouncy balls, or large green plastic gems.
Cut a mouth out of felt, stick some fake plastic teeth in the face, or bend a piece of rubber tubing into a smile.
Before the arms, if you want, put a shirt or coat of some kind around the body of the snowman. Also use old broom sticks, golf clubs, or fake skeleton arms!
Add a tie, sunglasses, or any other accessories to make the snowman stand out from the rest.
