There's no wrong way to make a snowman, but there are a few tips to prevent him from looking like a snow monster.

To complete this How-To you will need:

Snow
Warm winter clothes
Sticks and branches
A carrot
Buttons or charcoal
A little imagination

Step 1: Let snow settle

Wait for the snow to settle. It should be packing snow, not fresh powder.

Tip: If you can make a decent snowball that stays intact in flight, the snow is ready.

Step 2: Form snow into ball

Using gloved hands, gather snow and form it into a ball. Continue adding snow to the ball until it is too large to hold.

Step 3: Roll snowball

Slowly roll the snowball away from you, letting snow accumulate on the outside of the ball. Continue packing the new snow onto the ball with your hands.

Step 4: Position base

When the ball reaches the size that you want for the base, move the ball to wherever you want your snowman to stand.

Step 5: Make smaller ball

Make another ball of snow and build it up like you did the first. This ball should end up slightly smaller than the first one.

Step 6: Place 2nd ball on 1st

Place the second ball on top of the first.

Tip: If the second ball won't stay on top, pack snow between the two balls—or push a long stick into the first snowball and slide the second one onto the stick.

Step 7: Create 3rd ball

Create a third ball and place it on top of the first two. Now you have your basic snowman.

Step 8: Give snowman arms

Give your snowman arms with sticks or branches.

Step 9: Make a face

Make a face using a carrot for a nose and buttons or charcoal for the eyes and mouth.

Step 10: Customize

Customize with whatever you choose to give your snowman personality.

@TheSkulltear i don't cause ive never seen snow>:O

i always thought you just make a huge pile of snow in one spot and shape it into a ball....and ive always wondered how you stack the huge balls of snow without breaking them in the process, because it seems like they would just fall apart as soon as you lift them.
