Start attaching the plastic cups to each other using the stapler until you get a full circle. You should make this on a straight surface as on floor or on a table or your snowman will be uneven in the end. After fisrt circle, make another one placing new cups on top of the previous ones and staple them. The important point during stapling is that you will decide the size of your snowman according to the size of circles.If you are going to make a big one so, the circles should be large ones or vise versa.
