What's up guys? This is Shane Starr with Expert Village, today I'm going to teach you how to make a snowman. Starting out with your snowman is important that you have to get a nice good snowball just in your hands with your wet snow that we have talked about. Get a good pack going for you. You see this is packing really easy not coming apart too much for me. So get a good snowball in your hands like this and then you start by just rolling it. You roll it to pick up more snow with it. I'm going to illustrate here a little bit. Just start putting it down and roll it around and it gradually gets bigger. Alright guys as you see I have a big ball rolled up here and the key to make it bigger and strong base for your snowman is you have to have the bottom of it. It has to be wide, it has to be wide. Don't make it a complete ball you want to fill it in a little bit right at the bottom here so it is not going to fall apart on you at all. He is going to carry a little bit of weight so we have to get that strong up there. You want to try to get as round as possible make the prettiest snowman as you can. It is going to be round. Most people are only going to see one side of it so that back is usually not too important. Just make it pretty on the front and you would be good to go.
