Crafts made from the simplest cardboard look no worse than expensive designer decor. Finding material is not difficult in any home, and in the store it is not too expensive. So arm yourself with material, scissors and glue and let's create stylish things. At the very bottom you will find a video master class and tips for working with cardboard.

Christmas tree decorations

Crafts made of cardboard for the New Year can be the simplest to perform, but very cute for decorating a home or a Christmas tree.

To create a Christmas tree decoration, we need:

  • scissors;
  • thick cardboard (you can use an electronics box);
  • watercolor paints;
  • brush;
  • simple pencil;
  • twine;
  • dry straw;
  • beads / pearls / rhinestones;
  • ribbons / bows.

First you need to decide what exactly you want to make out of cardboard: a cookie cutter, a herringbone, a deer, a star, a snowflake. Now you need to draw the future craft either directly on the material, or first on a draft, and then transfer it to cardboard.

Now the blank needs to be cut out, and then, using paints and decor, to give the Christmas tree decoration a complete look. Let's see what might come out:

Next year is the year of the dog, so the New Year's figure has already been determined.

Use twine to decorate a cardboard horse

And some more toys based on dense material with twine:

Use spray gold paint:

Decorative tree

This is a decoration from the category of volumetric cardboard crafts for the New Year. The dense material acts as a base here, and the following materials will be needed for decoration:

  • twine;
  • colored paper;
  • beads;
  • bows;
  • tree beads;
  • threads;
  • paints.

Everything is elementary simple - you need to twist a cone from the main material, which will act as the basis for the Christmas tree. Use a glue gun to secure the decor to the cardboard.

Use colored twine to create such an interesting Christmas tree.

By the way, pasta, peas, nuts, beans and other materials can be used as decoration for a cardboard Christmas tree.

Deer made of cardboard

A beautiful and stylish piece of Christmas reindeer head craft can be hung in the hallway or living room. For such a large cardboard craft for the New Year, you will need:

  • thick cardboard (box);
  • tailor scissors;
  • paints;
  • brush;
  • fir branches;
  • cones and other decor.

First you need to draw a template for the future deer: separately draw the head, antlers and base for the wreath. Fold the box flat and attach the template to the fold. You should go out so that the deer's nose will be the connecting link between the two parts of the head.

Now draw in the plane of the horns, which will then need to be inserted into the grooves of the head.

Connect the parts and, if necessary, glue with glue. Now go for the wreath. From the same material, you need to cut out a medium-width "bagel" on which you will glue the spruce branches. It remains to completely connect all the details and find a place for the Christmas deer.

You can make a huge interior composition with a deer and a sled.

For such a composition, you will need part templates, which you will then assemble together. Bulky cardboard crafts for the New Year look very impressive.

Corrugated cardboard crafts

Corrugated cardboard itself is a very beautiful material and original Christmas tree decorations are obtained from it. Use corrugated cardboard ribbons and create Snowmen, Santa Clauses, different animals, Christmas trees and other decorations:

Use glue, scissors and paint to bring your craft to life:

Let's try to create a corrugated herringbone step by step. You can buy it from a specialty art store or use industrial cardboard.

First you need to cut the cardboard into strips of medium width, twist them into circles and secure with glue. Make enough circles to connect them into a tree: the bottom row will consist of 4-5 circles, and then in descending order.

And to make such a bell, you need to take one long strip of red corrugated material and twist it into an oval. Then lightly squeeze the sides of the workpiece to give the desired shape. Now we make a bell shape from a separate strip and glue it to the oval. It remains to attach the bead and string.

How to Create White Cardboard Decorations

What white cardboard crafts for the New Year can you make? Use this material to create interesting "snowy" New Year's decorations that can be placed on the windowsill.

It is necessary to cut the Christmas trees according to the template and connect them with a stapler to each other. In the middle, you can put a garland on batteries and the New Year's mood will be provided for the whole year. And with a simple template, you can create a whole New Year's town out of white cardboard. Use nail scissors, PVA glue, and a stapler to create your Christmas craft.

You don't have to glue the houses, but place them on the chest of drawers in the plane:

How to make a "cake"

You can use this material to present a gift or make a "cake" with New Year's predictions in an original way. What you need:

  • thick cardboard;
  • scissors;
  • pattern;
  • beads;
  • tapes;
  • bows;
  • colored cardboard or paper.

First you need to print the template:

One template equals one piece of cake. The more such pieces there are, the larger the cake will turn out. You need to bend the part along the fold line and secure the part with hooks. The finished cake can be decorated with quilling details, beads, felt toys, Christmas tree beads. In each of the pieces, you can put a wish for the New Year.

Such a cake can be presented to children for the New Year, putting a small surprise in each piece.

You can make several tiers from different styles of cakes. The first tier will contain, for example, 6 large pieces, the next - 10 small ones, and the next - 12 very narrow ones.

At first glance, it seems that difficulties should not arise, but this material will be easy for you to succumb to if you work with it correctly:

  • use only sharp scissors or a utility knife to keep the edges of the cardboard neat;
  • use grooves and gaps to connect parts. The grooves can be pre-lubricated with PVA glue so that the structure is held tight;
  • use a ballpoint pen that is no longer writing to mark the fold lines. In this case, the cardboard will bend nicely and not roughly;
  • if you are using colored cardboard, then select the markers by color so that you can paint over the folds of the product;
  • do not give up needlework if the craft does not work the first time. Start with something simple, see how cardboard behaves in your hands. Then take on the harder work.

We are sure that you will prepare very carefully for the New Year and create coziness and a fairy tale at home with the help of your own handicrafts.

And as usual, at the end of the article, we offer a video master class on creating interesting crafts. This time, we are watching a lesson on how to create a Christmas tree from corrugated material:

Corrugated cardboard quilling. Master class with step by step photos

Master class: hand-made corrugated cardboard "Heart present for dad and mom"

Author: Fateeva Oksana Yuryevna, methodologist for decorative and applied creativity and fine arts MBOU DOD TsRTDiU, Kamensk-Shakhtinsky, Rostov region.
The master class is designed to work in a children's creative association for children 7-10 years old and older, for teachers, parents.
Purpose: This work is a handmade gift.

The purpose of the master class: master the technique of corrugated cardboard quilling.


Progress:
The cat consists of a torso-heart, legs-stand, muzzle, ears and tail.
At the first stage it is necessary to cut 10 strips 1 cm wide from red cardboard in length. These are blanks for the body-heart.


The heart consists of two parts - dense oval discs. For each disc, it is necessary to glue tapes of 5 strips with PVA glue.


And then, stepping back from the edge of 10 tubercles, twist into tight oval discs.


Press down the discs, giving the shape of a drop. We glue the heart.
Second phase: we prepare the legs-stand, muzzle, ears and tail. Cut 12 strips 5 mm wide from white cardboard.


Divide the first strip into two equal parts and twist a tight disk from each half.


We squeeze and shape into triangles - these are ears.


One whole strip is a tight disk. This is the cheek. The cat has two.


Give the cheeks a droplet shape


Stand feet require 6 strips. The base is two tight discs of two strips. We give them a droplet shape and glue them like a heart. For "fingers" we divide the strip into 4 equal parts. We twist a tight disk from each part.


Divide one strip in half. Twist a disk from the half - a beard for the muzzle. Cut the remaining half in half again and twist two more "fingers".


We make the tail from the remaining strips. After gluing them into a tape, and stepping back from the edge of 15-20 tubercles, we twist an oval-shaped disc, similarly to half a heart. The tail will turn out to be "loose", in order to strengthen it and give the desired shape, we will glue red stripes.


Stage three: preparing the details of the craft, we worked with PVA glue. But it's better to collect the craft with a glue gun. The assembly will not take long.

Crafts look very impressive.

Recently, my daughter and I discovered a completely new application for corrugated cardboard - voluminous crafts.

Bulky corrugated cardboard crafts are easy to perform. They can become a toy for a child or an interior decoration. But we have found another application for them -.

You will need:

  • corrugated cardboard sheets of different colors;
  • scissors;
  • ruler;
  • PVA glue;
  • shifty eyes;
  • a thin ribbon, or a beautiful thread.

Preparing for the craft

We cut sheets of corrugated cardboard into strips 1 cm wide. For some small parts, narrow strips of 0.5 cm will be needed. From these strips we will twist circles - the basis for crafts.

Looking ahead, I will say that for the manufacture of large parts (head, body), a strip 1-2 meters long is required. Standard sheets of corrugated cardboard about 28 cm long. Therefore, cut the required number of strips (3-4 strips for example) and in the process of twisting, simply glue them one next to the other.

The scheme of all crafts is the same. The only difference is in the scenery. Let's look at the production of basic parts using the example of a tiger cub.

1. For the head you need a strip 1 cm wide and 1 meter long.

We cut strips along the length of the sheet, measure and determine how many strips we need up to a meter (usually 3-4 strips). Then we take the first strip and twist it into a tight circle. We glue the end, and next to the joint we glue another strip.

For the muzzle, you need a strip 0.5 cm wide and 50 cm long.

For ears: width 1 cm, length 16 cm.

For the spout: width 0.5 cm, length 7 cm.

2. For the torso:

  • one orange strip 1 cm wide, 50 cm long.
  • one white strip 1 cm wide, 50 cm long.

3. For the feet: 4 strips 1 cm wide and 16 cm long.

The process of creating a tiger cub from corrugated cardboard

We twist a circle for the head, a circle for the muzzle, a nose, and two ears, gluing the ends of the corrugated cardboard. We form triangles from the circles for the ears with our fingers.

When twisting, we try to make the first turns tight.

My daughter and I did this: I began to twist tightly and passed it to Anya. When the tape ran out, Anya glued it on and twisted it on. Then I held the circle until the glue seized, at which time I began to twist the second part.

When all the details are ready, we glue them together, forming the face of the tiger cub and arrange it as you wish. Our tiger turned out to be angry - this is Anya's idea - a saber-toothed tiger from The Wizard of the Emerald City.

By analogy, we form the body.

To add volume to the corrugated cardboard craft, you need to squeeze out the middle of the circle with your finger, forming a dome. For strength, coat the inside with PVA glue. In a tiger cub, volume can be created on the tummy.

Christmas decorations made of corrugated cardboard

To make a Christmas tree decoration when twisting the head in the last circle, insert a thin tape and fix it with glue. We did not do this, as the idea with Christmas decorations came later.

But it doesn't matter. In the intervals, we will insert a regular thread with a needle and hang the tiger cub on the tree. And we will make the next toy - a volumetric snowman, as expected.
