From felt
Recently, felt toys in the New Year's style have become very popular. Figurines made of felt serve as the main decor for the Christmas tree and at home, because they are safe, non-shattering, eco-friendly and bright.

Desktop mini-trees are often found, as well as toy keychains. Let's consider the manufacturing process of the first option.
For the frame of the future Christmas tree, you will need a large bead, for example, amber, 2 cm in diameter. Insert a small stick into its hole. To make the frame more stable, glue it to a large coin or flat button. Then we work according to the scheme.

Decorate with red beads and you're done!
Garland of threads
What is New Year's Eve without a garland? The more garlands the better. The school class will probably also be decorated, and a garland of threads will become a very unusual decoration! Plus, weaving with threads is a very exciting and soothing experience! How to weave, see the MK below.
Crafts for the New Year to school: grade 4
Well, we smoothly approached the New Year's crafts for school for grade 4. These guys are already quite adult and independent, so simple nonsense is indispensable. We have selected a dozen rather difficult master classes that will appeal to girls, boys and their parents!
Felt herringbone
Let's start with the simplest and most obvious - the Christmas tree. Herringbone is one of the most integral attributes of the New Year. In grade 4, we propose to make a Christmas tree out of felt, more precisely from a miniature felt flag garland. For crafts you will need: a cone-base (can be made of thick paper or cardboard), felt, scissors, glue. See step-by-step MK below.
Balloons from old light bulbs
Miniature ribbon wreath
A wreath of ribbons can be woven. Such a product looks very impressive, but in fact there is nothing complicated in manufacturing. Follow the step-by-step instructions and you will succeed!
Crafts from thread and glue: step-by-step MK with photos and descriptions
You can make original Christmas tree decorations from knitting threads and glue. These can be stars, Christmas trees, balls and other figures. The main thing is to master the technology, and then it's up to your imagination. So, for manufacturing you will need: thick yarn, PVA glue, a disposable tray (thermobox or something similar), safety pins (matches or small carnations can be used). Place the desired figurine on the tray with pins. Thoroughly coat the threads with glue (it is better to pour the glue into the container and place the thread there). Wind the thread around the shape and then fill in the inner space. Wait until the glue is completely dry and remove the pins. Attach a thread and the Christmas tree toy made of glue and threads is ready!
Volumetric paper snowflake
A voluminous paper snowflake is perfect as a school craft for the New Year. You will need six paper squares. Fold the square diagonally. We make the cuts at a distance of about 1-1.5 cm. It is important not to reach the fold line. Next, we glue the strips into rings on one side and the other, alternately. See step-by-step MK below.
Volumetric Snowman: Exploring Polygon Modeling
As a New Year's crafts for school in grade 4, you can make a volumetric snowman out of paper. The craft will help explain to the child the essence of three-dimensional modeling based on a simple New Year's craft. Adults, by the way, will also be interested!
House of paper tubes
But the miniature paper house will appeal to both boys and girls. A paper house will take its rightful place under the Christmas tree or will be an excellent decoration for a school class. How to make a house out of paper with your own hands, see below.
Christmas wreath made of plastic bottles
Boys will love the plastic bottle wreath. Serious work on cutting plastic bottles and cutting stars out of them is a responsible task, and most importantly an interesting one. Well, which of the boys does not like to smash and break? And this time everything is legal and even on the initiative of the parents! In general, let's go to the neighbors to collect unnecessary plastic bottles and go ahead to create a masterpiece!
Paper garland "Bulbs"
The ideal option for New Year's crafts for school for those who have absolutely no time left, i.e. for those whose child recalls the creative task at 11 am the day before the deadline. Simple, fast, original! And most importantly, everyone is happy! See below for a master class on creating a paper garland "Bulbs".
Christmas ball in artichoke technique
An excellent option for New Year's crafts for school for diligent girls will be a Christmas ball using the artichoke technique (patchwork). The essence of the technique is to sew on the base of the cut out parts in a certain sequence. In this MK you will learn how to make a ball using the artichoke technique from ribbons.
Santa Claus made of salt dough and an old light bulb
If your child has a penchant for sculpting, be sure to try this master class. We suggest making Santa Claus out of salted dough on a frame from a burned out light bulb. As for the dough, you can paint it after making the figurine, or you can immediately paint it in the desired colors by adding a few drops of food coloring while kneading. Girls may like the idea of creating a Snow Maiden more.
New Year's crafts to school: grade 5
So, grade 5, your child has already moved to high school, has become more independent and meaningful. On the one hand, you can't get off with a simple five-minute craft, five-graders are too important to waste time on a nonsense activity. On the other hand, this is a great opportunity to do something difficult and interesting not only for the child, but also for the parents. We have selected 11 master classes for New Year's crafts for grade 5 school, which will be appreciated by both children and parents!
Volumetric stars on an LED garland
Let's start with the volumetric stars that can be used to decorate the LED garland. Basically, a 3D star is a simple polygonal model. We draw a blank, cut it out, bend it, glue it together. The star is ready!
Crafts from threads and nails
"Adult" fifth-graders (both boys and girls) will love this craft made of nails and threads. You should not start with too complicated work, it is better to choose a picture without small details. Of course, you cannot do without the help of adults, but even miniature mothers can drive small nails into the board. The picture should be transferred to tracing paper, fixed on a board, hammered in carnations along the contour, and then remove the tracing paper. Well, then trace the contour with threads and fill in the center.
Christmas wreath of paper roses
But for a school New Year's exhibition, you can prepare a New Year's wreath from paper flowers. The work is painstaking, but the girls will definitely be delighted. Plus, the harder the job, the more enjoyable it is to reap the benefits! How to make a wreath of paper roses, see below.
New Year's craft "Winter in the bank"
Especially for those who like to surprise - the craft "Winter in the bank". To do this, you will need a glass jar with a lid, a pine cone, sparkles, and glue. Glue the cone to the lid of the jar and cover the base with cotton wool, pour the sparkles (more) into the jar itself, screw the lid on and shake it! To make the glitter sink more slowly, pour glycerin into the jar.
Kanzashi herringbone
If satin ribbons are lying around at home and you don’t know where to attach them for many years, their finest hour has come! We will make a Christmas tree using the kanzashi technique for the school New Year's exhibition. The work is painstaking and even jewelry. In addition, each petal is sealed with fire (flame of a lighter or candle), therefore, it should be done strictly under the supervision of adults. Well, children of any age will be able to collect petals in flowers and glue them on a cone.
Snowflake in quilling technique
Patient and diligent girls will love crafts using the quilling technique. You can come up with many ideas on the New Year's theme. but for beginner needlewomen, we recommend starting simple, with snowflakes. In the snowflakes of our MK, only basic quilling elements are used, which everyone can do. Mom, of course, will have to help her child, at least in drawing a template for a future snowflake!
Origami star
Origami lovers will be delighted with the New Year's star in this technique. Indeed, creating real masterpieces from paper without using additional funds is real magic. See step-by-step MK of a star below.
House of paper
A great idea for New Year's crafts for school will be a model of a winter house made of paper. By the way, this is a great opportunity to tell your child about the work of an architect. The model of our house can be downloaded from the link below, and in the master class you can familiarize yourself with its assembly. Creative parents together with their children can come up with their own layout, for example, the estate of Santa Claus or the Palace of the Snow Queen.
Felt roses herringbone
As a New Year's craft for school, 5th graders can get confused with a Christmas tree made of felt roses. More, of course, is suitable for girls. You will need a cone base (you can use foam from a store or homemade from thick paper), felt, glue. Cut out their felt circles and cut them in a spiral. It is better to make the spiral wavy, this will add naturalness to the colors. Next, turn the spiral into a flower and put it on the glue on the cone-base. In an hour or two, the craft will be ready!
New Year's house made of salt dough
A fabulous house made of salt dough on a frame made of a plastic glass will impress classmates. You will need to look for a half-liter plastic glass (for example, from sour cream or yogurt), prepare salted dough and stick around the frame. When the house is finished, send it to dry. It will take a lot of time (a day or even more). Only after the craft is completely dry, you can proceed to painting it.
Polygonal model
Well, the most crowned New Year's craft for school will be a polygonal model. In my opinion, the first place will be guaranteed! It should be noted right away that this craft is not the easiest one, you have to tinker. To get started, we recommend starting with something simpler, for example, a trophy chanterelle head. You can download a ready-made template from us, which will remain cut, bent in the right places and glue. We recommend printing the template on thicker sheets, at least on a Whatman paper. And the best way is to make a polygonal model out of cardboard. It is also worth remembering that some lines are bent towards themselves, and some - away from themselves.
If you want to try to do something more difficult, then you can pay attention to a rabbit or a pig that is relevant in 2019. The reamers can be downloaded from the links below the pictures:
Note! Bend along the dotted lines towards yourself, along the dotted lines with a dot - from yourself! Good luck!

The troubles before the new year are always pleasant, and I want to give my friends and loved ones more attention and give them something that is necessary and at the same time inspiring. What can be the ideas of gifts for the new year with your own hands? List of basic handmade gift ideas:- any item with a photo (magnet, album or pillow);
- toy or trinket;
- do-it-yourself accessory;
- sweet gift;
- a useful thing that you have uniqueized with your own hands;
- interior item or home decor.
This is something that an absolutely ordinary person can cope with if desired, if he shows a little ingenuity or finds a good master class. If you have a hobby related to needlework, then you can do something in your favorite style.
A person who is fond of embroidery with beads will certainly be able to embroider a small Christmas tree decoration or make a motivating picture for the interior, a good knitter will come up with unusual scarves for the whole family, and a woodcarver will be able to please loved ones with handmade ornaments.
But what if there seems to be no handicraft skills, but you want to make a gift? First of all, turn on your imagination and come up with several gift options.
New Year's souvenir
New Year's souvenirs bring the spirit of the holiday, so it's better to give them a little in advance - so that the gift has time to settle down in the house and create the necessary atmosphere for a cheerful holiday. It may be something related to the Chinese calendar - next year will be under the sign of the Pig (boar), which means that any cute pig may well become a wonderful holiday gift.You can try to make a decoration for a Christmas tree or give a handmade Christmas tree. watch an easy master class:
If this is a Christmas tree toy, then you can:
- sew a toy in the shape of a pig, for example, from a sock;
- cut out several complex silhouettes of piglets with an openwork pattern from designer thick paper;
- make a figurine of a pig using the technique of dry or wet felting;
- weave from wire.

Photo gifts
This is the easiest and at the same time very touching way to make a present for parents for the New Year with your own hands, especially if you consider that you practically don’t have to do anything “with your own hands” - the main thing is to find a good idea and devote some time to preparation.
Gifts decorated with pictures will highlight your feelings for your parents and will remind them of you all year long.
What could it be:
- calendar;
- phone cases;
- decorative pillows;
- mugs and dishes;
- photo book.
For example, for the calendar, you can choose beautiful photos of the whole family or some funny moments, or you can make a special photo session for this. By the way, a simple family photo printed on a huge canvas can also be a good gift - it will not only decorate your parents' living room, but will also warm them every day.
If you want to make a photo gift, then choose the brightest and highest quality frames. It is not necessary that there are people in the pictures - someone will like a mug with a portrait of their beloved cat, and my husband's mother was delighted with a wall calendar with photographs of her precious orchids, which she grows herself.
Take a closer look at a person's daily life, pay attention to what he devotes most of his time and try to use it somehow - then you will really like the gift!
Sweet gifts
To be honest, this is my favorite way to do someone. If you like to cook, then prepare a magical gift for your loved ones - sweets immerse each of us in childhood, and those with a sweet tooth simply cannot imagine a good holiday without all kinds of sweets.What sweet gifts you can make yourself:
- gingerbread cookies for the New Year tree;
- painted gingerbread;
- chic gingerbread house;
- cake;
- cakes;
- handmade candies.
Where is the difference between a regular gingerbread and a festive one? First, the dessert you make must be well done. If you are sure that your dough will burn, and instead of neat sand men you will get mummies, then it is better to choose another gift.
Secondly, at the first glance at such a gift, it should be clear that it was made with love and for a specific person. A small gingerbread house can look very impressive, but it is not too difficult to assemble it.
While baking and decorating a fancy cake is not very easy (although, there are secrets here too). And finally, thirdly, the gift must be well wrapped. I'm not talking about the usual gift wrapping, colorful paper and fluffy bows, no.
Watch the video tutorial on how to create sweet sleds:
Or you can make such a Christmas tree from sweets and tea:
Watch the video tutorial on how to create a candy tea tree:
Make a small bundle of pure, unbleached linen, tie a gift tag to a ribbon, and hang a small wooden star to highlight your gift and make it special.
If you want to make a do-it-yourself gift in the form of sweets for your mom for the New Year or Christmas, then choose an original recipe - for example, an exquisite cookie with drops of dark chocolate, ginger and pepper, cook it well, decorate it and pack it well, and mom will be delighted with the gift, because that it will feel your concern.
Handmade postcard
Made by hand can be both an addition to a gift and a small independent present - for example, to a colleague or boss. You should not fall into childhood and try to cut a postcard from old unused wallpaper - visit a handicraft store, where you can purchase a blank for a postcard (specially folded cardboard), as well as the necessary decor.
It is best to watch a lesson on making a postcard with your own hands, and then buy materials from the list - for example, it can be a blank, New Year's cutting (volumetric elements made of thick cardboard), decorative scotch tapes (most often paper, with an ornament) and various decorations.
Some of the materials can be replaced (for example, colored powder for embossing can be easily replaced with any coloring pigment - including decorative shadows or glitter for manicure). Try to make the card not only beautiful, but also neat.
Handicraft as a gift
This category includes decorative items for the home, and various knick-knacks, and hand-knitted accessories. You can make gifts for the new year 2019 with your own hands, even if you do not know how to do needlework at all, but you are ready to try your hand and you like original gifts for the new year.Do-it-yourself gift for the new year:
- decorative clocks;
- knitted scarf;
- sofa cushion;
- decorative panel;
- soft toy;
- any interesting trinkets.
Interior panel, clock or toy. A good idea is needed here. The mechanism for watches can be purchased at any craft store, you can use plastic or thick cardboard as a base, you can also make a watch based on a white plate, which you can decorate to your taste.
The best place to start is with an idea. To make a gift to your beloved husband for the new year with your own hands, you need to imagine at least a little what your spouse will be happy about. Is he into extreme sports? Make him a fun, extreme style wall clock. Rooting for a sports team? Place the names of the players under the appropriate number instead of the numbers on the dial.
An interior panel as a gift to a loved one is quite simple, you need a large wooden or plastic frame in which you will make your panel. You can try to make a portrait using an unusual technique - from different photographs or threads, from fingerprints or ordinary scotch tape.
Think about what a new year gift a guy would like to receive from you? Perhaps a confirmation of your feelings? Or something that can bring out the best in him?
Knitting or sewing
If you do not know what to present to your dad for the new year, then try to do something with your own hands from threads and nails, for example, a similar picture in the style of string art.
How to do this, see the video instructions:
If you have minimal knitting skills, then you can try to tackle something really difficult - a sweater or socks, and if you are far from this type of needlework, then it is better to knit something small.
A hat, scarf, or something simple. In this case, the main thing is to choose a good yarn that can hide any pattern errors and not too confident loops. By the way, the guy-motorist will enjoy a funny cover for a steering wheel or headrest knitted from fluffy yarn like a teddy bear.
Best Memories Jar
This present will suit both lovers and parents or best friends. Remember and write on small pieces of paper all the warmest and brightest memories associated with the recipient, then fold the pieces of paper, tie each with a ribbon and put them in a beautiful jar.
Now you can choose a gift of your choice and make it yourself, and you also know what to look for when packing.
There is a New Year's Eve tradition: buying gifts at the last moment helps, you know, not to lose the rhythm of life. But such a number will not work if you decide to make them yourself. We suggest taking a closer look at a dozen interesting directions for finding ideas for a New Year's gift and starting to work on them. It will take time.

Bake delicious gingerbread cookie on this recipe and pack it in a beautiful Christmas box. You can make holes in it in advance and add ribbons so that it can be hung on the tree.
Very popular in the west gingerbread men- they have already become a kind of symbol of Christmas and New Year. And it is really easy to make nice souvenirs from them, for example, for colleagues or classmates. The cooked little people can be "individualized" with the help of colored glaze - add glasses, just like the accountant Olya, a beard like the programmer Vitka, and a tie, like Pal Andreevich, and put them in CD packages (ingenious - simple!) - edible ginger colleagues are ready to please their prototypes!
If you get gingerbread men, then you can move on to the next level of culinary skills - cook Gingerbread house, just like in the fairy tale about Hansel and Gretel. Details for him can be baked according to the same cookie recipe, then assemble the resulting "constructor" with the help of glaze and decorate the exterior of the fabulous building with it. Here is an example diagram -
From the same series - homemade, fragrant and aromatic jam... Traditional and tried-and-true is best to ask your grandmother or mom, but you can also search the internet for something exotic. We hang tags with wishes on the jars ( "Raspberry jam for cough and winter blues", "Jam from garden cherries and my love", "Currants for good luck!", "Gooseberry jam for the best dad in the world") we wrap it in a nice colored fabric or paper, we tie it with ribbons. Don't forget about honey- the most important and tasty protector from winter snowstorms and blizzards.
