Origami Snowman by Jo Nakashima
Christmas origami by Jo Nakashima

Did you know? In America the snowmen are made from 3 snowballs, but in Japan you make it with only 2. I made the Japanese version first because it was easier.Then, I just added another module to make the third snowball and changed the arms position a little bit. The hat and scarf gives a special touch to the model.
