1. Choose a white tube sock. You are welcome to use other colors, but white works best for snowmen.
选只白色的袜子，其它颜色的袜子也行，但白色是做雪人的最佳选择。

2. Fill the bottom of the sock with dry beans or rice until it is about 3/4 filled to the heel.
在白色的袜子里装入米和豆子，装到3/4满即可。

3. Tie a rubber band tightly around the sock just above the beans or rice. This creates the bottom section of the snowman. Repeat to create slightly smaller middle section of snowman.
在袜口绑上橡皮筋，在填充物中部稍微偏上的位置再绑一圈，这样雪人的身子就做好了。

4. Fill the top section of the snowman with cotton.
在最上面的一部分袜子里装入棉花。

5.Secure the top with a rubber band. Make sure the sock snowman can "stand".
再把袜子的顶部绑上橡皮筋，确保雪人可以站起来。

6. Fold the open end of sock over itself so it looks like a beanie or hat.
把剩余的开口部分挽起来，就像给圣诞老人带了个帽子。

7. Glue buttons going down the front of the snowman.
用胶水顺着雪人的前襟粘上扣子。

8. Use a permanent marker to draw a mouth of the snowman or cut out a piece of belt to glue on as a mouth.
用油性笔画一个雪人的嘴巴，或者剪一条塑料带用胶水粘上。

9. Cut a strip of fabric 3/4 inches to 1 1/4 inches (2-3cm) in width and any desired length. Try to use holiday-themed fabric if you can.
剪一条布，长短适中给雪人当围巾，条件允许的话，最好选择和节日相关的颜色。

10. Cut two small holes in the sides of the snowman. Find two small sticks and place them in the holes as arms.
在雪人的身子两侧剪一个小洞，插两根树枝在小洞里，作为雪人的身子。

11. Feel free to add more decorations like ribbon, stickers, buttons, and small trinkets or toys.
你可以随意的给雪人打扮，比如丝带、贴纸、纽扣、小饰品和小玩具，都可以用来装饰它。

12. Give your snowman as a gift or set up a winter scene with it.
你可以把这个小雪人送给朋友，也可以用来当做圣诞节装饰。
