Everything you need to make a snowman
Progress of work
We fasten with a stapler 23 cups, forming a circle. Over it in the same way we make the second row of the same number of glasses, but now we fasten them not only among themselves, but also from time to time we take the first row.
The first two rows consist of 23 cups each
The following rows are attached to the previous ones with a small (0.5 cm) offset to the center. In the end it should leave a hole with a diameter of 15 cm so the third row will need 20 cups, the fourth 16, the fifth — 14 cups. It turned out the first hemisphere of the bottom of the snowman.

Then roll from the received parts of two cylinders with a diameter of about 10 cm and fasten with tape or office rubber bands. In the process one cylinder to increase the second so that the length of the finished rod was about four feet.
