Step 1: Building the Base
Create a stable base using twisted newspapers or pool noodles.
Attach the base to a balloon.
Apply Loctite foam around the base, spritz with water, and let it cure for 20 minutes.
Step 2: Covering the Ball (Method 1)
Spray Loctite foam slowly onto the balloon.
Wait for a slight film to form (2-3 minutes).
Spread the foam thinly with gloves, layering as needed.
Smooth and allow to harden between layers.
Step 3: Connecting the Parts
Use tape to connect the snowman’s parts securely.
Step 4: Covering the Ball (Method 2)
Spray foam onto the snowman in sections.
Spritz with water and wait 5 minutes.
Press and shape the foam.
Add more foam, carve as desired, and fill holes.
Apply another layer using Method 1 for a smooth finish.
Pro Tips and Final Touches:
Protect your snowman from direct sunlight, as it may cause discoloration. Consider using enamel or oil-based paint to protect it further.
Get creative with accessories. For example you might want to add a scraf or a face shape!
