DIY Christmas crafts: a lot of ideas and master classes! From plastic bottles. Magic snow globe
Here comes another year. What will the coming year bring us? And, as always, we look to the future with hope and expectation and begin to prepare for the New Year. Often the preparation brings more joy and pleasant sensations than the holiday itself. And always, as in childhood and adolescence, I want to celebrate the holiday somehow in a special way, to amuse my children, to congratulate parents and relatives, to come up with something unforgettable. Perhaps in this article you will find something for inspiration. Together with your children in the evenings you will make crafts for a fun holiday. After all, in order to feel the holiday, you need to create an atmosphere: light, cheerful, unusual. Decorate your home not with products bought in a store, but with toys made with soul and warmth.
Small toys cut out of thin felt, felt or other plain soft fabric will be a wonderful decoration for the Christmas tree and will never break.
Lightly fill such soft New Year's toys with synthetic winterizer or cotton wool so that they acquire volume.
Armed with fabric glue and various scraps, try making a garland out of these houses. And for fastening, any twig picked up on the street is suitable for them.
It is easy to make New Year's men from the remains of different fabrics. To do this, glue the cardboard tubes in advance and come up with characters that you will make. Use special fabric glue to glue the cardboard tubes with material, giving them an invented look.
Such a panel house is easy to make with your own hands, you can give it as a gift or keep it. Make a wish for the New Year, so that this house becomes a talisman for your big house and keeps the happiness of the family.
Make soft postcards for your family. To do this, stick pieces of fabric on the landscape sheet and arrange them in a pattern. Be sure to write the most tender wishes inside.
Postcards can also be made from thin cardboard. Cut out hearts, flowers, bells, stars, Christmas trees, whatever you can think of and sign New Year wishes to family and friends.
And to decorate boxes or gift bags, cut out snowflakes. We still remember from childhood how to fold paper to make especially delicate snowflakes. Take not white paper (or ordinary napkins), but colored paper.
Instead of snowflakes, Christmas trees cut out of colored paper are suitable for decorating gifts.
You can lay out small gifts in such hollow Christmas trees inside. They are easy to glue from any paper.
If not Christmas trees, then fish. Look how spectacular these goldfish are. Accompany such a gift with wishes that the fish can fulfill.
It is generally easier to make sweets from gift paper for wrapping gifts in them with the help of adhesive tape and two ribbons or ribbons.
If you make a removable roof for such a house, then you can put a gift for a child inside, and the house will become a home for toys.
Decorate your homemade Christmas tree with angels made by yourself. To do this, take any white cloth, starch it and dry it. One liter of hot boiling water will require one tablespoon of starch, which is first diluted in a small amount of cold water, and then hot is added. The solution must be constantly stirred. From the dried fabric, cut squares or circles, find the middle. This will be the head of the angel. Insert a small ball into the middle of the fabric and tie it with a thread. The head is ready, you can draw eyes, nose, lips on it. Cut out the wings from another piece of fabric and attach discreetly with a pin.
If you know how to crochet, knit such colored or white snowflakes, stars, Christmas trees. They can also serve as coasters for a tea mug.
And if you really try, you can even sew gift bags in the form of New Year's heroes.
And your children can make such toys for the Christmas tree. To do this, you need to string various beads and beads on a thin but strong wire, and then give the wire an invented shape: a star, a fish, a Christmas tree.
And these toys can be made if dad cuts figures out of thin plywood in advance. But you can cut it out of cardboard, and then stick coins or corks. Paint it any color or leave it as is.
Paper, cardboard (white and colored), glue, paints and brushes are the main helpers in decorating the house for the holiday. Help your children trace, cut out, and glue on the tree-shaped palms. Get an unusual and funny panel.
From the palms circled on paper, wonderful holiday deer are obtained. These are harnessed to the New Year's team to deliver gifts.
If you fold colored paper in the shape of a fan, and glue the ends together, you get a circle from which you can make a dial. The sizes can be very different. Hang such a light, unusual clock around the room, waiting for guests to arrive at the New Year's table.
Many of us in childhood made chains from strips of colored paper and such lanterns. Be sure to teach your children this too. Place deep thick glass candlesticks inside such lanterns. Take care of fire safety!
Just cones glued out of paper and faces painted on them, and what characters! Think with the children what emotions the faces of your little men will express.
Funny snowmen (or Santa Clauses, owlets, hares) are obtained from bottle caps. They are made like this: they take three corks, a strip of thin cardboard no wider than the cork, glue and a brush. Corks are carefully glued onto cardboard. Do not forget to glue a ribbon to the top cork so that the toy can be hung on the Christmas tree. When the glue is completely dry, paint the corks. Another option to make a cork toy is this: the corks are glued to cardboard on both sides of the cardboard strip, then the toy will turn out to be double-sided.
If you love ice cream sticks and have accumulated enough of them, they will make wonderful Christmas decorations. You just need to apply ingenuity and patience.
From inexpensive improvised materials, you can come up with a lot of interesting crafts for the holiday. For example, disposable paper plates easily turn into a New Year's clock.
Even kids can easily make them.
Or ordinary plastic planters can turn into a smart snowman. To do this, glue one flower pot to another with plastic glue. When this seam dries, take a hard brush and apply PVA glue to the surface of the planter. But first prepare finely chopped rain or tinsel. Then evenly sprinkle the places smeared with glue with small chips from the rain prepared by you in advance. In order not to cut the rain or tinsel, you can come up with something of your own to sprinkle, for example, coconut or confetti. Draw the snowman's eyes, make a nose out of plasticine. Think about what your character will be wearing.
For example, you can make such funny gnomes or housework.
Or snowmen.
And the picture below shows the process of turning an ordinary cone that is lying under your feet into a Christmas tree.
If you don’t want to mess with cones and plasticine, you can simply pour them into transparent glass vases interspersed with large walnuts.
Let's start creating a festive mood in your home long before the holiday. Paint thin twigs of any tree with silver paint, pour pine or spruce cones into a transparent glass tube vase. When the branches are dry, place them in a vase and decorate with bows of any color you like. Such bows are easy to make from pieces of fabric or paper cut into strips. It is only necessary to tie them in the middle with a thread or twine.
Hang a New Year's wreath next to graceful branches and light candles.
And these monkeys are sewn from an old sweater or even from socks. Clothing from any materials at hand.
Meeting the year of the Monkey, bake any cake, but decorate it with the “face” of the primate.
What will be this "face", decide for yourself. Lots of options.
Decorate another cake with a clock face. The more original cakes you bake, the more reasons you will have to sit with your family for tea.
The clock will turn out from cookies or gingerbread if you draw numbers on them with cream. But you can not draw, but lay out the numbers with small dragee candies. Then you need to try to stick the sweets on the fondant, which is spread on the gingerbread, while it has not yet frozen. Gingerbread cookies need to be laid out along the edge of the plate, and arrows should be made from the top layer of the waffle.
The festive table, decorated with various figurines, will please children first of all.
And such a cookie-clock, and even with a surprise, will delight them.
It is also easy to figure out how to decorate bottles with drinks that you will put on the festive table. For example, make such a New Year's clock out of paper folded like a fan and glued together. Pass the twine through them and make a loop so that you can hang bottles on the neck. Additionally, you can attach notes to the bottles with comic wishes to those who will open them.
Do not live dull and monotonous! Get ready, wait and celebrate the holidays! Happy and prosperous New Year everyone!

Snowflake designs are only limited by your imagination. Just use a good strong glue. Lay the snowflakes out on wax paper to dry. Move them periodically to prevent sticking to the paper.

The most vivid and colorful memories, of course, come from childhood. Remember how with trembling anticipation we were waiting for the most fabulous holiday of the year? They dressed up the Christmas tree, decorated the room with garlands and, of course, waited for a miracle! But isn't the expectation of a holiday a miracle? Remember how magical garlands of colored paper seemed, and sweets in shiny wrappers - the best Christmas decorations?
Let's plunge into the pre-holiday atmosphere and create a miracle with our own hands. Christmas decorations, decorations for the room, and just DIY crafts, what can be nicer and warmer than homemade gifts or souvenirs.
The most pleasant thing about creating New Year's crafts is that it does not require outstanding skills and any special materials. After all, an unusual little thing can be created from ordinary materials.
paper kingdom
Paper is perhaps one of the simplest and most affordable means for creativity. Paper crafts can be as simple as they can be easily handled by kids, or they can be complex designs.
Snowflake is an openwork carved figurine familiar to everyone since childhood. It is very easy to cut it, especially since there are many patterns.
A beautiful decoration made of snowflakes will refresh a forgotten candlestick and inhale the expectation of a holiday into it. A snowflake can be not only flat, but also voluminous, made using the quilling technique.
Vytynanka is a direction of needlework when working with paper, these are the most beautiful patterns and whole plots cut from an ordinary sheet. Very often, with the help of this technique, they create a beautiful New Year's window decor.
Christmas tree - can be made in various ways, but the simplest, which the baby can handle, is as follows. Roll the green paper into a cone shape, trim the bottom and decorate with bright sequins and beads.
And if you want a larger Christmas tree, make several cones of different sizes, fix it in the form of a pyramid, and use scissors to make a fringe on the edges of the pyramid levels.
Balls for the Christmas tree - technically making such a ball is very simple. We cut strips of the same length, it is better to use different colors and textures, then we glue each strip from opposite ends. Next, we collect a ball from such multi-colored rings.
There are a lot of options for crafts and ways to make paper. Lanterns and garlands made of colored paper, which come from our childhood, are relevant to this day. Having this simple material available and letting your imagination fly, there will be no question of how to decorate a room for the New Year.
Unusual from the usual
Often, designer items are obtained not from expensive materials brought to order, but from ordinary improvised means that either stale on the mezzanine or simply forgot to throw them away.
Buttons
Beautiful decorations for the New Year are obtained from ordinary buttons. You can make a creative New Year's beauty with your own hands, thereby saving a living Christmas tree from cutting down. We need green cardboard, thread and buttons.
Make a cone out of cardboard, wrap it in a chaotic manner with woolen thread and decorate with multi-colored buttons using glue or pins. In the same way, you can decorate a Christmas tree decoration, just take a foam ball for this and decorate with buttons in the same way.
Beads
A beaded Christmas toy made with soul will be a wonderful gift for friends and relatives. Even a novice craftswoman will successfully master the technique of beading, and a wonderful idea for crafts of this kind can be offered as a symbol of the coming year. Here is a wonderful souvenir and a kind of talisman.
light bulbs
If you are still using incandescent bulbs, then do not rush to throw out the burnt ones, you can give them a second, and no less radiant life. Arm yourself with acrylic or gouache paints, and do not contradict yourself in any creative impulses!
Funny snowmen, just a white light bulb with eyes and a hat, but how cute. Touching symbols of the year: bunnies, chickens, or just a string of garlands.
Threads
An unusual Christmas ball can be made from simple knitting threads. Inflate a balloon of the diameter you need, grease it with PVA glue and wind the threads in random order. Set aside until completely dry.
When the glue has dried and the threads have become stiff, carefully remove the balloon after piercing it. Then you can decorate the finished ball with contrasting bows, beads or ribbons, or you can not decorate, because the decoration is self-sufficient.
From several balls made in this way, you can make a snowman, a hat and a carrot, and a unique character is ready.
modeling
Funny and unique crafts can be molded from plasticine, and to make cute figurines happy for as long as possible, make them from polymer clay. After drying, polymer clay hardens and perfectly holds its shape.
You can also use salt dough for modeling, though you must not forget to dry the finished product thoroughly in the oven. What figurines to make depends only on your imagination or pay attention to the photo of crafts for the New Year from polymer clay.
cones
A special material that I would like to highlight from all the others is cones. She herself looks like a small Christmas tree with her appearance, so we won’t go far - an elementary New Year craft is almost ready. You just need to paint our mini Christmas tree with paint and stick on beads or sequins.
If you have accumulated a lot of such natural material, then you can make a forest beauty of rather impressive dimensions and indescribable beauty. Roll a cone out of thick cardboard, fill it with either old newspapers or any other sealant.
Fix on a round stand with a diameter slightly larger than the base of the cone. Then, using a glue gun, we attach the cones to the base.
The finishing touch, of course, is an outfit for our Christmas tree. If the tree turned out to be not small, you can decorate it with a garland, and beads, tinsel, in a word, everything with which you decorate a classic spruce, are suitable for small crafts.
From cones, according to the same principle, you can assemble a Christmas wreath for room decor. For the base, almost any plastic material of circular cross section, which can be shaped into a ring, will do. Further, according to the worked out scheme: we glue the ring with cones, beads, bows - everything that fantasy whispers to you.
Cones and felt make infinitely cute Christmas toys-animals: bunnies, chanterelles, birds, very funny gnomes and much more.
Postcards
A wonderful idea for a souvenir to family and friends is a handmade postcard. If you presented a homemade postcard in the form of a double-folded album leaf and the inscription "Happy New Year", then this is not so for a long time.
Do-it-yourself postcards are a whole direction in needlework and are called scrapbooking. Yes, of course, the basis has remained the same, in the form of a small booklet, where you congratulate your loved ones and wish something pleasant. But the decor has truly become a work of art, especially since the material for this type of creativity is striking in its variety.
It is so nice to spend a quiet pre-holiday evening with your family for a pleasant creative activity. It does not matter at all which of the crafts you choose, the main thing is that the process itself brings pleasure.
