How to make the perfect snowman
Do you want to build a snowman? Here are a few tips for making one that’ll be the envy of your neighborhood.
Preparing
Choose a flat and shady area so that your snowman will stand straight and won’t melt in the sun. Make sure that the snow is sticky enough by making a small ball in your hand. If it holds together and doesn’t crumble between your fingers, you’re good to go.
Building
First, shape three balls with your hands until they become too big to hold. Then roll them in the snow until they’re as big as you want them to be. Remember, the middle ball must be smaller than the bottom one, and the top one smaller than both of them. Flatten the top of each ball before placing another one on top. Finally, to keep everything together, pack snow around the base of the bottom ball and between each layer.
After, all that’s left to do is decorate your creation.
The record for the tallest snowman was set in Austria in 2020. The sculpture was just over 124 feet tall.
