Step 2: Make the snowman

  • Print our free honeycomb snowman template and cut out the shapes.
    (We recommend printing the template on cardstock or copying the pattern onto cardboard for a sturdy template that’s easy to trace).

  • Trace the snowman body onto white cardstock and cut out 35 pieces.

  • Fold each of the snowmen in half lengthwise.

  • Open the fold and add 2 horizontal lines of glue where the "snowballs" meet.
    Honeycomb Snowman
  • Fold in half again, pressing down to make it stick. Repeat for the rest of the pieces.
    Honeycomb Snowman
  • Add three horizontal lines of glue to the folded snowman, 1 in the center of each snowball.

  • Set another of the folded snowmen on top. Line up the edges as you connect the 2 pieces of paper.

  • Repeat this gluing process until all the snowman pieces are connected.

  • Line up the edges neatly and then attach a binder clip to the papers so they stay together as the glue dries.

Step 3: Make the hat

  • Cut 25 hat pieces from black cardstock.
    Honeycomb Snowman
  • Fold each of the hat pieces in half from right to left.
    Open the hats and add 2 horizontal lines of glue, 1 to the top and 1 to the bottom.
    Honeycomb Snowman
  • Add a horizontal line of glue across the center of one of the folded hats.
    Honeycomb Snowman
  • Stack and glue the rest of the hat pieces and secure them with a binder clip as the glue dries.

Step 4: Open the shapes and glue together

  • Once the glue is completely dry, remove the binder clip from the snowman and slowly open the papers to reveal a honeycomb shape.
    Honeycomb Snowman
  • Add the 3 lines of glue to one of the flat sides (the former top or bottom of the bundle).
    Honeycomb Snowman
  • Bring the outside edges together, creating the 3D snowman shape. Secure each of the glue spots with a small binder clip.

  • Use the circle template to cut a circle from white cardstock.
    Honeycomb Snowman
  • Add a generous amount of glue to the circle and place it on the top center of the snowman's head. This will allow the hat to sit straight.
    Honeycomb Snowman
  • Open the hat honeycomb and then add the line of glue to the center.
    Honeycomb Snowman
  • Connect the outside pieces and then clip the hat together as it dries.
    Honeycomb Snowman
  • Once all the glue has dried, remove the binder clips and glue the hat to the top of the snowman's head. Again, allow glue to dry.
    Honeycomb Snowman
  • Optional: Cut a 12 inch piece of ribbon in a festive holiday colour and drape it around the snowman's neck as a scarf. Glue one layer of ribbon to the other so it stays in place.

  • Your honeycomb snowman is complete!
