In order to decorate the Christmas tree with unusual toys, you do not need to run around the shops looking for something that others do not have.

The first thing to do is to cut 8 circles of the same size (about the size of the neck of a regular glass, you can have a little more or less), and 2 more a little smaller. After that, the large circles fold in half twice (to end up with a quarter). The blanks are ready. Four of them need to be glued to one small circle, four more to the other.

Japanese crafts kanzashi

The novelty of the season in the field of decoration is jewelry made in the Japanese kanzashi technique. They can be of any shape - herringbone, flower, snowflakes ... individually or in a group. By the way, this is a great option not only for Christmas tree decorations, but also for a gift, as well as elements of a festive costume.

In their homeland, Japan, they symbolize closeness to nature. In our country, they are more like a nice souvenir than something meaningful ideologically. In order to do something in the kanzashi style, you need not so much - silk ribbons and desire!

Festive headband with snowflakes in Japanese technique

Thanks to the Japanese, anyone can bring joy to little and big princesses by making a wonderful headband that resembles a snowflake. It will not only complement the appropriate costume, but will certainly become that very missing highlight for any New Year's hairstyle.

So, in order to make such a wonderful accessory you will need:

  • blanks made of silver, blue and white ribbons (silver ones should be cut into squares measuring 2 * 2 centimeters, white - 5 * 5 centimeters, blue - 2.5 * 2.5 centimeters, in total there should be at least 42 squares of each color);
  • glue gun;
  • white rim (if there is a rim of a different color, then it can be easily turned into white by braiding with a ribbon);
  • scissors;
  • preparation of a snowflake measuring 3 * 3 centimeters.

So, after all the materials and blanks are ready, you can start working.

The first thing to do is 6 round petals made of white squares. They should be the largest, as they will form the "middle" of the future flower. Then - 12 triangular petals are also white, but they will turn out to be slightly smaller in size. Next, from 12 triangular blanks (white and blue), fold six petals consisting of two colors. And finally, the final touch of the preparatory stage - 42 small, silvery petals. The edges of each workpiece must be scorched with a lighter so that they do not disintegrate in the future. Otherwise, it can be an unpleasant surprise for the person to whom the bezel is intended.

After you have finished with the petals, you can wrap the snowflake with a white ribbon, attach it to the rim and, finally, collect the first petals in the “heart of the flower”. Its base will consist of 6 large white petals that need to be glued together. In no case should they disintegrate! After that, you can attach a blue-white composition of three more to each petal (two white petals at the edges and a two-color one in the center). And finally, each piece should be complemented by a silvery small petal that is inserted directly into the center of the glossy ones. As a result, you should get a kind of "fluffy" flower.

The finished composition can be decorated with sparkles, beads or anything else - at your discretion. The only thing that is not recommended is to varnish it, this can ruin the appearance.

Using this technique and from the same ribbons, you can make not only a rim, but also beautiful snowflakes. They will become an excellent alternative to traditional Christmas tree decorations and even a souvenir for family and friends who will surely appreciate your originality and warmth invested in such a gift.

You have not noticed that all possible exhibitions of handicrafts are immediately started in kindergartens and schools. For which the guys, together with their parents, do sometimes just not probable things.

And if you also decorate the decoration of a house, apartment, yard or office. Because, in my opinion, the use of New Year's attributes in the interior greatly enhances the expectation of the holiday itself and some kind of magical miracle. And who if not we ourselves will create this magical mood for ourselves.

So read the article just below, take your favorite examples for a note and be sure to involve your children, this will significantly raise your New Year's mood. And it will make the atmosphere of the holiday incredibly wonderful, with elements of magic and anticipation of a miracle.

When I first saw these cute toys, I could not believe that they were made of sock. And of course, we combed our hands to make them together with the children, it turns out it's very simple. To celebrate, we put on a lot of snowmen and decorated almost the whole house with them.

What is required to prepare them:

  • Two socks (white and colored) - 4 pieces;
  • Buttons - 10 pieces;
  • Black marker - 1 piece;
  • Rubber bands - 10 pieces;
  • Glue gun - 1 piece;
  • Filler (any cereal) - 300 grams.

We cut each toe into three pieces, thus getting rid of the heel. Tie the edge where the elastic was with an elastic.

We fill every detail with any prepared cereal.

After that, we divide them into two or three balls. As you like best.

Now we make clothes from a colored sock. Cut off half and put it on the craft. Sew buttons on the top, use different ones, it will look more interesting. Use the glue gun to decorate the craft to your liking.

It remains to sew on the eyes and the nose and the snowman is ready.

I construct my hands from toothpicks, having previously divided them in half.

You should start gluing the blanks from the very bottom edge in a circle. Then comes the second layer and, applying drops of glue, gradually move over the top of the structure.

Then we make a leg, for this, fasten the two bases of plastic glasses together, and attach it to the pasta tree.

You can paint each pasta separately with a brush, but I love using spray paint. Fast and convenient.

Then, after drying the paint, we decorate our beauty to our taste.

Glue the prepared decor onto the lid.

Be sure to make sure it doesn't dissolve in water.

We cut plastic snow into a jar. I made it from candy plastic.

Pour glycerin into the container and then water. For a tighter closure, I cut off part of the medical glove and put it on the jar.

You can add a little glitter if you wish.

Coat the lid with glue and screw tight. We decorate it with a beautiful ribbon and "veils" - the craft is ready !!!

Do-it-yourself star on the Christmas tree

And now for more details on this:

It is necessary to cut two blanks from paper of the desired color according to the template. Fold them in the center of each side and around the edges.

Lubricate the ends with glue and connect both parts. Allow the product to dry. The star for the New Year's beauty is ready!

Nobody would say that such beauty can be built from an ordinary plastic bottle. But this is possible. Be sure to involve children and grandchildren in the joint work.

And it turns out quite economically for your wallet.

You can decorate trees in the yard with such snowflakes, give them as a souvenir to friends and neighbors. Their main advantage in strength and durability, they are not afraid of rain and snow, and any frost.

Funny plasticine octopus

What you need:

  • Plasticine of different colors - 1 pack;
  • Stick - 1 piece;
  • Plastic knife - 1 piece.

Let's get started:

First, roll up two balls of the same color, but different sizes. This will be a torso with legs and a head.

We form a small droplet from a small one, and squeeze the second into a layer.

Using a plastic knife, cut the strips.

It turns out something like a flower, we make long tubes from each petal.

As a result, you should get such a star.

From a brighter color we form small balls and attach them to the legs.

Use a tube of balls to make them look like suction cups.

Now we bend the legs with suction cups in any shape.

We make the head like this: stick the plastic case from the chocolate egg completely with plasticine and attach the eyes. We attach the head to the body.

Pour liquid into a glass container and put an octopus in it, tighten the lid. Turn the jar over and decorate it with algae and colorful fish on top.

Snowman made of disposable glasses

Every year millions of people try to decorate their homes with New Year's symbols. Someone buys them, and someone makes them on their own. Recently there has been a fashion for making crafts from plastic dishes, so I decided to tell you about making a snowman from glasses. It is simple and quick, the main thing is to select the necessary materials earlier.

Required tools:

  • Plastic dishes - 300 pieces;
  • Stapler - 1 piece;
  • Decoration is at your discretion.

Let's start making a snowman:

For the first row, you will need exactly twenty-five cups, we lay them on the floor in an even circle and fasten them with a stapler.

The second row will go a little bit shifted, like colors on a chessboard.

Fasten each glass in several places, so the structure will be more stable and durable to the touch.

Move each row a little deeper to get a spherical shape. We do not finish it, seven rows will be enough.

We form the head from eighteen pieces in each row and close it completely.

Cut out eyes and a sharp nose from paper, decorate the head.

We connect both parts and fasten them as tightly as possible with a stapler.

Add decorative elements as you wish. At home, we put a light bulb inside and it turns out just fabulous in appearance.

Original Christmas tree made of threads

I make such beauty every year for the kitchen and for other rooms where no living beauty will stand. It also looks great in offices, or you can give it to your friends.

  • Decor - at the discretion;
  • Scotch tape - 1 piece;
  • Scissors - 1 piece;
  • Brush - 1 piece.

Let's start cooking:

To begin with, draw a circle out of paper and collect a cone from it. Better to glue it over with tape, so the threads will not stick. Then we start winding the thread on the cone. The tighter you wind, the less airy the tree will be.

Grease the threads with a thick layer of glue, after you have wound the whole thread. And set aside to dry completely. After the product dries, it remains only to remove the blank from the cone and decorate with decorative elements.

  • Sheet - cardboard;
  • Glue gun - 1 piece;
  • Spray paint - optional;

That's all my friends, I hope this article has become at least not much useful to you, and you have found interesting ways of making crafts for yourself. Write your opinion in the comments, it is very important to me. And now I say goodbye and write only until we meet again.

On the threshold of the long-awaited New Year's holidays, which are eagerly awaited not only by children, but also by adults. After all, New Year is a new hope, new plans, new life. To create a magical atmosphere in the house, we always prepare decorations in advance. Someone buys them in stores, but in this article we will show you how to make interesting DIY crafts for the New Year.

The fiery Rooster will be the patron saint of the upcoming 2017. It is his image that should be present in every home so that the whole year is successful and happy.

You can make a cockerel in different ways. In this case, the main thing is to show imagination. We will present several master classes on making DIY crafts of the symbol of the New Year 2017:

Rooster toy

The product will look like a soft toy. To create it, you need a pattern, cotton wool, two identical buttons and any thick fabric. You don't have to buy one, you can use an old sheet or shirt.

The only items available are two small pieces of red and orange felt to make a beak and scallop. You can also use any decorative elements for the cock. In the photo below, the craftsman used a straw to make a bow.

The uniqueness of this toy is that it is easy and quick to make. In a short period of time, you can sew dozens of such cockerels to present them as gifts to all your friends for the New Year 2017.

If you make small soft cockerels, then they can become decorations for the New Year's tree. It will only be necessary to sew ropes to them, for which they will cling to the Christmas tree branches.

You don't have to make the cockerels bulky. Just cut them out of felt, decorate with rhinestones, beads, feathers, ribbons and other decorative elements, attach ropes to them to hang the products on the tree.

Rooster made of buttons and old beads

  1. Draw the outline of the rooster on decorative paper.
  2. Using quick-drying glue, attach buttons and beads to the image, alternating them in colors and sizes
  3. The resulting product can be framed and hung on the wall in the hallway or in the kitchen

Painting "Rooster" in quilling technique

The quilling technique is very popular among needlewomen, because it can be used to make exquisite products using only special paper, a toothpick and glue. To make a picture with a cockerel, you will need the same material and whatman paper, which will become the basis for future crafts.

The work will be very painstaking, so you need to be patient:

  • First you need to cut the quilling paper into strips 5 mm wide and 25 mm long.
  • Then screw each strip onto a toothpick. Glue the ends to the finished paper spirals. All spirals need to be slightly lowered and squeezed in the shape you need.

  • Glue all the curls on the previously prepared contour of the rooster on a Whatman paper.
  • In addition to the rooster, other elements of the picture can be made in the same way - snowflakes, Christmas trees, snowmen, and so on.

As a result, you should have such a beautiful product:

The techniques we have listed are the most practical options for making a New Year's symbol that will last for a long time. You can use many other methods of making cockerels, for example, from disposable dishes or plastic bags, but they are unlikely to retain their original beauty for a long time due to their impracticality.

DIY Christmas tree craft

Despite the fact that a live or artificial Christmas tree is in any case decorated for the holiday in every home, we still make small original crafts for the New Year do it yourself in the form of a forest green beauty, so that the festive mood can be felt everywhere.

Of the many ways to create Christmas trees, we have selected some of the most interesting:

Christmas tree made of bright pictures

  1. To make such a beauty, you will need old magazines, newspapers or a children's book.
  2. Of them, using a shaped hole punch, you need to make as many round elements as possible - these can be flowers, ordinary circles.
  3. Each of the resulting circles must be twisted a little, wrapping them around a regular pencil.
  4. They will need to be glued in neat rows to a pre-prepared paper cone, starting from the bottom.

Christmas tree made of felt

From the minimum amount of material, you can make such a Christmas tree. You will need:

  • felt fabric in two colors
  • thick cardboard
  • quick dry glue
  • thin Christmas tree rain
  1. First, we make a cone from cardboard, which will be the basis of the future Christmas tree.
  2. Then we cut out circles of different diameters from felt, cut a hole in the center of each through which these circles will be threaded onto the cone.
  3. When all the felt details are threaded, you can proceed to decorate the product - glue the Christmas tree rain and other New Year's tinsel that you do not mind in a spiral to the product.

Christmas tree made of floral mesh and garlands

  1. To make such a tree, you first need to make a paper cone and wrap it with a plastic bag.
  2. Then it is necessary to cut flaps of the same size from the floristic mesh, moisten them in PVA and alternately glue them onto the cone in several layers.
  3. When all the layers are glued, the top of the mesh must be greased with PVA again and left to dry.
  4. After the mesh is dry, it must be removed from the cone. We won't need it anymore. Instead, a garland must be attached to the inside of the tree with a decorative wire.
  5. If you wish, you can also attach any decorations on the outside of the resulting Christmas tree.

DIY paper crafts for the New Year

Paper is a versatile material for needlework, but you can make short-lived products from it, although they are quite original. In this article, we decided to tell you how to make paper from paper easy DIY crafts for the New Year... We are talking about two designs of Christmas tree decorations.

Crafts from paper tubes

To make such a decoration for a Christmas tree, you will need scrapbooking paper and a ring from an old chain through which a decorative thread will be threaded.

What will be the algorithm of our actions:

  • Cut out a circle of any diameter from any cardboard and mark a center on it (the size depends on your desire, to make the same toy as in the photo above, you need to cut out a circle with a diameter of 5 cm);
  • From one sheet for scrapbooking we cut out squares with a side of 3 cm, and from the second squares with a side of 2.5 cm;
  • Expand all the squares so that they look like diamonds, then begin to bend the left and right ends of the square towards the middle as if you were swaddling a child;
  • Glue the resulting elements with quick-drying glue;
  • To the center in a clockwise direction, begin to glue the twisted elements to the pre-prepared cardboard so that each tube fits snugly against each other;

  • You will need to make several layers of these tubes so that in appearance the future product begins to remind you of a flower;
  • Attach an old brooch or pendant with stones to the middle of the toy, and glue rhinestones along the edges of the tubes.

Craft from paper squares and foam

The basic material for making such a beautiful paper cone is decorative paper and a foam ball. What you need to do with them:

  • Cut the paper into strips 2.5 cm wide;
  • Each strip must again be cut into squares with a side of 2.5 cm;
  • From each resulting square, you need to make such an arrow, as shown in the photo;

  • When all the elements are prepared, you can start gluing them to the foam ball in layers from bottom to top;
  • You can attach paper sheets and braid to the top of the cone, for which the resulting cone can be attached to the tree.

From above, each of the proposed toys can be covered with sparkles, sprinkled with New Year's tinsel, so that they look festive and elegant.

Crafts from cones for the New Year

Crafts from cones with your own hands for the new year look very original and natural on the New Year tree. From this beautiful natural material, you can come up with a huge number of different toys and table decorations. After all, the cones lend themselves to staining and gluing. As examples, we will present you several options for cone products for the New Year:

  • Having painted the cone green and sprinkled with white or silver sparkles, you can make a mini Christmas tree that will look beautiful as a New Year's toy, as a figurine on the fireplace.

  • The pine cone can be used as a torso for a toy bird or deer. You just need to figure out what to make them heads and limbs. It can be a sponge, cotton wool, wool - any material and decorative elements.

  • Pine cones can be used to make beautiful Christmas wreaths on the door. Moreover, they do not even need to be subjected to any processing. Through them you only need to thread a wire, with which the cone will firmly hold on to the wreath.

Crafts from the dough for the New Year

To create crafts from salt dough for the New Year children can also be involved. As a rule, children really like to sculpt different figures out of it, especially if they are timed to celebrate the most awaited winter holiday.

The most important thing here is to knead the dough correctly. It's very simple: you need salt, flour, starch and water. All these components are mixed with each other in equal amounts. If you already know in advance what color your products should be, then you can immediately add dyes to the dough. If not, then leave it colorless.

  1. To give contours to future crafts, you can use special confectionery molds - Christmas trees, snowflakes, gnomes or snowmen.
  2. Cut out the characters, then lay them out on a baking sheet and dry in the oven.
  3. When the products are dry, take them out and decorate - paint, glue all kinds of decorative elements to them.

Here are some examples of designs for New Year's products made from dough:

Crafts from candies for the New Year

Candy is the most festive stuff. As a child, each of us tied a string to them in order to decorate the New Year's beautiful Christmas tree with sweets. Today, sweets are used in a more original way. With their help, you can create not only interesting crafts for the New Year but also make sweet gifts for your loved ones.

For example, if you are going to visit godfathers or neighbors, you can make a beautiful Christmas tree from a bottle of champagne and loose sweets.

How to do it:

  • Lubricate a bottle with a holiday drink with glue, and attach New Year's tinsel to it.
  • Then, in a circle, glue the candies in the same way. You can use both the same sweets and different ones.
  • Decorate the resulting Christmas tree with bows, beads and that's it - this chic New Year's gift is ready.

If you go to a house where there will be children, then you can also make New Year's sweet gifts for them. Buy assorted chocolates and cane-shaped lollipops. From these sweets, you can make a sleigh:

  • Glue the chocolates to the candy canes with a glue gun
  • Put the rest of the sweets on the chocolates in the shape of a pyramid and wrap them with a beautiful ribbon
  • To complement the sweet gift, you can tie a toy deer to the sleigh

You can also make New Year's clock from sweets. To make them you will need:

  • metal cookie box
  • candies
  • Christmas tinsel

  1. First you need to decorate the cookie box with corrugated paper
  2. On one side, make a dial from old beads
  3. Glue all decorations and parts of the product to the glue gun
  4. Then glue the candies around the circumference of the box so that they fit tightly to each other.
  5. From above they can be wrapped with decorative tape.

When the main part is ready, you just have to complete the dial decoration. This is where your imagination comes in handy.

Crafts from disks for the New Year

Everyone in the house probably has old CDs that just take up space on the shelf in the closet. So that they do not gather dust simply, use them to create beautiful DIY crafts for the New Year.

You will only need to draw a beautiful winter pattern for them on the disk and give out decorative elements - paints, beads, beads, buttons. Children will already show their imagination and complete the decoration of CDs.

The panel pendants are a little more complicated by the manufacturing technique:

  1. The discs will first need to be coated with acrylic paint.
  2. Then pass the braid through the hole and fasten it tightly.
  3. The next step is to glue a pattern to the disk using decoupage technique, which we will need to paint and add volume to it with the help of salt, semolina and other improvised means, for example, toothpaste, from which we can make snowy mountains.

Beading is a real art, and not everyone can master at least the basics. But what to do if you really want to make of this material beautiful crafts for the New Year? There is an exit. We have selected several ideas for creating New Year's beaded decorations that even a child can make.
