The New Year is approaching. It seems that only recently we have celebrated the Year of the Rooster, and soon the Yellow Earth Dog, the mistress of 2018, will take its place. And again you need to prepare for the holiday, think over the menu, put up a Christmas tree, decorate the house for the New Year, do everything with your own hands. There is some element of routine in this, but you can also enjoy it.

Children especially love to do crafts with their parents. Pamper them, devote a few evenings to decorating the house, create a magical atmosphere, then the approach of the celebration will be felt more sharply, and all worries and problems will recede into the background.

We decorate the house with garlands, transform the chandelier

New Year's decor doesn't have to be complicated. Simple garlands can also become a decoration. It doesn't matter what you make them from plain paper, natural materials, or specialty materials purchased from craft stores.

Cones in the New Year's decor

To make a garland of cones, you will need cones and twine. This is if you really want to do without decor. But the garlands of cones look very beautiful, on which bright bows from satin ribbons are glued. We will just make such a garland.

Vertical garland: stars

Most of us know horizontal garlands, which can be easily stretched between the walls of a room, they can be wrapped around a Christmas tree or hung along the walls, and there are other garlands - horizontal. They fall from the ceiling like a waterfall. Let's make a garland of paper stars.

	Draw a snowflake on a piece of paper. The template is easiest to make on squared paper. You need to draw two lines intersecting at right angles. The segments from the center of the future shape to the edge must be equal. Then divide the four sectors with new lines exactly in half. The segments should be equal to the first or slightly less.
	Use the resulting template to craft decorative paper stars.
	To make the star three-dimensional, you need to bend the corners with the tops in half to one side, and fold the inner corners in half to the other side. Don't try to do everything at once. First, just outline the folds, folding the workpiece each time.
	Tie a thread to the resulting star.
	Having made several stars, you can decorate the chandelier with them.

You will find many more detailed instructions for making.

Lighting Workshop

Not for nothing on New Year's Eve, everyone around is decorated with glowing garlands. On the one hand, flickering dim lights are soothing, pleasing to the eye, on the other hand, they create a festive atmosphere.

Decorative candlesticks

Candles are a special decoration. The flame of the candle radiates warmth, the dancing of its small tongues creates an iridescent effect. There are a lot of options for decorating candles, and one of them is beautiful candlesticks. If you put a candle in a decorative candlestick, then a real festive environment will be created. Let's make an eco-style decoration.

	Roll small balls out of plasticine.
	Stick small spruce twigs into these pieces of plasticine.
	Use a nail scissors to trim the needles.
	Decorate the branches with rowan berries, pricking them on needles.
	Write a year with a brush dipped in glue, or paint an ornament.
	Add artificial snow to the jar. Buy it from the store or grate it on a regular foam grater.
	Place the spruce branches inside.
	Tie a ribbon around the edge of the can. Use it to fix the rowan twig.

If you have some acrylic paint and glitter, or just want to make a glitter candlestick, follow the instructions below - it's very simple.

In previous workshops, we used tall candles, but let's not forget that there are tea candles that also look good in homemade candlesticks.

Eco design option - orange or tangerine peel. The most important thing in manufacturing is not to damage the peel by removing the slices. You can make not only a hole on top, but also cut out small patterns in the form of hearts, monograms, snowflakes on the side.

Tea candles can float, using this property, we will make candlesticks with water, decorated with bare thin twigs of deciduous trees.

Creative light with silhouette

In one of our articles, we suggested making a New Year's decor on a windowsill with a silhouette of a winter city or forest. You can watch the master class. And now we will make a lamp according to a similar principle.

	You will need: corrugated cardboard, synthetic winterizer, glue, a thermal gun, white paint, a garland, a blank of a winter city from thick cardboard.
	We need 6 long blanks of the sides and 6 short ones. You can choose the size according to your preferences. Glue each wall from three pieces of corrugated cardboard.
	When gluing the front side, place the blank of the winter city between the layers.
	When the base is assembled, paint it with white acrylic paint.
	Make a slot to lead out the wire of the garland to be placed inside.
	Cover the bottom edges of the box with hot glue and glue the bottom. Paint it white too.
	Decorate the cardboard with glitter (cover some areas first with PVA glue).
	Place a piece of foil inside to bounce light off the sides and bottom.
	Wrap the lamp with padding polyester.
	Place the electric garland tightly inside.
	Cover the top with a piece of padding polyester.

Window decoration - drawings on glass

Windows are decorated with a variety of materials: they make colored patterns in gouache, stick paper snowflakes, vytynanka and other decor. We offer to decorate the windows with toothpaste diluted in water, to create the effect of frost.

	Print and cut out some of the New Year's eve templates.
	Make a soap solution. You can just leave the remnants in the water, or you can shave off the soap and fill it with water. Apply the solution to paper blanks.
	Glue them onto the glass.
	Squeeze the toothpaste into a container.
	Add some water and stir.
	Dip your toothbrush in the toothpaste solution. Using pressure on the pile, spray the solution onto the glass.
	Peel the paper off the glass. Enjoy the airy New Year silhouettes.

Christmas wreath

Recently, many people associate the New Year with wreaths on the door. Inspired by the wonderful decorations seen in Hollywood films, it is worth making a wreath for yourself, especially since you can use it to decorate doors, walls, put on the table, add candles and a wide variety of decor. Traditionally, a Christmas wreath is made from spruce branches, but more affordable pine will also make good products, you can even use ordinary branches of deciduous trees or make a wreath from scrap materials.

	To make a wreath, you need cones, sprigs of plants, berries,
	vine or thin twigs,
	burlap, ribbons, scissors, twine, glue gun, dried citrus fruits,
	as well as wire. Roll the wire into a ring.
	Wrap it with tape.
	Secure the spruce branches by directing the branches in different directions.
	Then secure with twine the branches of the vine.
	Glue a bow out of burlap.
	Glue a bow between the spruce branches.
	Then use a heat gun to glue the bumps.
	Then all the rest of the decor.
	Hang the wreath on your wall or door.

There is a separate one on our website, where you will find not only master classes, but also numerous photos of wreaths made by professionals and amateurs.

Christmas decorations: toys made of cardboard, salt dough, paper

The Christmas tree rightfully occupies a central place in the house prepared for the New Year's celebration. Recently, there has been a tendency to decorate Christmas trees with hand-made products. Let's try and we do something.

For example, we will wrap Christmas trees made of cardboard with twine and decorate with sequins.

	Freehand draw a herringbone pattern. Cut it out. Then make another piece of cardboard.
	Glue them together with PVA glue. Need a thick base.
	While lubricating the surface with glue, gradually wrap the toy with twine.
	Use an awl to make a hole in the crown and thread.
	Cover the top of the toy with glue.
	Sprinkle with sequins.
	When the glue is dry, it will not be visible.

Using the same template, or cutting out templates like the one in the photo, experiment with twine and acrylic paints.

	Prepare: corrugated cardboard, acrylic paints, PVA glue, pencil, twine, acrylic varnish, brush, half beads.
	Let's translate the star and Christmas tree patterns onto cardboard.
	Let's cut out two Christmas trees. Let's glue them together. The toy should be thicker.
	Now, in a chaotic manner, we wrap the figure with twine and attach a loop.
	We pick up a napkin in pieces and, attaching it to the figure, cover it with PVA glue.
	When the workpiece dries up, paint it green.
	We paint some areas with silver paint.
	Then we cover it with acrylic varnish.
	After the varnish has dried, decorate the toys with half beads.

An independent direction of decor - crafts made from salted dough. Create such decorations with your children. Salted dough is generally recommended to be used instead of plasticine, and manual work is very important for the development of fine motor skills. Even a product, sculpted with children's pens, covered with golden or silver paint, will look cute and decorative.

	Crafts made of salt dough, coated with gold and silver paints, look like real jewelry.
	Let's make cardboard stencils in the shape of a heart, a bell, a dove, a Christmas tree, a crescent.
	Roll out the dough, attach a stencil and use a clerical knife to cut the dough along the contour.
	Round off the edges with your finger.
	Then, using any objects that leave behind an interesting ornament, we make patterns on the surface.
	Using a brush, pierce the dough, making a hole for the lace.
	Such beautiful ornaments were obtained with the help of buttons, a piece of lace, mesh. If you glue large rhinestones, then attach them to the blanks, make indentations under them, just be sure to remove them before placing the figures in the oven. Dry the blanks in an open oven over low heat.
	Sand dry workpieces around the edges.
	Paint some silver.
	Cover others with gold paint.
	Glue the rhinestones.
	Sprinkle glitter over the still wet paint.
	When the paint is dry, cover the blanks with acrylic varnish.
	Such toys are no worse than expensive Christmas tree decorations, rather, even better, because they are handmade, which means they are unique.

And about paper toys in general it is worth starting a separate conversation, because they are so diverse, and they are performed in completely different techniques. To begin with, we will learn how to make a paper lantern, which, by the way, can also play the role of a candlestick.

	Standing 1.5 cm from the edge of the sheet, draw a line along the long side of the sheet.
	On the opposite side, do the same. Place dots on the lines every centimeter.
	Then take a utility knife and, using a ruler, make a cut from the top to the bottom point. You need to put something solid under the sheet of paper so as not to cut the table.
	Turn the sheet over to the other side and bend along the lines that we drew in the beginning.
	Then start shaping the flashlight. You just need to glue the edges of the sheet.
	If you put the flashlight on the table, it will already take on a convex shape, but you can increase the effect.
	Glue the folded sheet of paper inside, cut off the excess.

New Year's compositions

If you have free surfaces in your house on which you can put something voluminous, for example, tables, bedside tables. Install New Year's compositions there. And we will tell you how to make them.

	You will need a wide vase, several pieces of an oasis for floristry. Trim the oasis so that the pieces fit well into the vase.
	Place the oasis in a vase, fill in the gaps with smaller pieces.
	First, stick dry branches of about the same length along the edge into the oasis.
	Then artificial decor.
	If possible, you can add live plants.
	Fill the middle with Christmas balls. Add small sprigs of plants.
	Decorate some areas with moss.
	Place the composition where you can observe it often. It is possible that after a while the branches will sprout green leaves, and spring will come to your house.

If the previous option seemed too complicated for you, we suggest the idea of making a house out of cardboard and printed paper.

	First, prepare cardboard stencils (they will also serve as the basis).
	Then transfer the stencils to printed paper, cut with 1 cm allowances on each side and glue the cardboard base and the paper blank.
	Cut the corners of the paper.
	Apply glue to the edge of the cardboard blank.
	Fold over the edge of the paper.
	Here are the blanks.
	We wrap a piece of cardboard (put it on glue) with paper with the print "wooden boards".
	We prepare four cardboard blanks for framing the window, cut out two strips from cardboard.
	We glue each detail with printed paper.
	On the reverse side of the part with a hole, glue strips of cardboard crosswise.
	Attach a rectangular piece of napkin on top.
	First we glue the parts with windows to the base.
	Then two other walls.
	We decorate the joints with lace.
	This is what the decor looks like from this angle.
	We glue the roof with hot glue.
	We collect the porch from the remains of cardboard and also glue it over with printed paper.
	We glue it.
	At the bottom of the windows, roofs we glue a little padding polyester, imitating snow.

Christmas trees from branches: instructions for making

If you are an ardent supporter of respect for nature, and do not put a Christmas tree on the New Year just because you do not want to support the massive felling of trees, we suggest making a Christmas tree out of twigs.

	Purchase an oasis block from the flower shop.
	You will also need: pruning shears, knife, scissors, twine, thermal gun, pots, tinsel.
	Decorate the planter with tinsel. If you take a planter with holes, then put a piece of cellophane inside.
	Place the oasis vertically in the planter. Trim corners if necessary.
	Cut off the excess cellophane with scissors.
	Cut the top of the oasis in the form of a cone, but do not make it too sharp.
	Remove the needles from the part of the branch that you stick into the oasis.
	Stick a small twig into the top of your head.
	Fill the oasis with twigs from the bottom up: there should be longer twigs at the bottom, shorter twigs above.
	Decorate with lace, beads, Christmas decorations.

And we will make another Christmas tree from bleached branches. To achieve this effect, it is necessary to soak the branches, peeled from bark, in a solution of soda ash overnight.

	Let's make a nautical-style Christmas tree from branches. Gather and dry about 10-20 branches (depending on the desired size of the tree). Remove bark from the branches.
	Lay out in the form of a Christmas tree, i.e. the branches are longer at the bottom, very short at the top.
	Take twine, tie a branch, make two knots, then tie the next branch and so on until the end.
	Repeat on the other side. We make two knots so that there is a gap between the branches.
	We make a loop.
	We will make jewelry out of white beads. We string them on a thread and fix them with knots on both sides so that they do not slip along the thread.
	Decorate with a starfish, glue it with hot glue.
	Add a string of beads and an LED string.

Other decorations (cardboard sequins, frame with pendants, letters)

Creativity is difficult to drive into some kind of framework, as well as to structure ideas in directions. In this section, we have collected a variety of decor ideas that will definitely come in handy if you are interested in custom decoration for your home.

First, let's make an imitation of a Christmas ball made of cardboard and sequins.

	Required materials and tools: cardboard, sequin tape, satin ribbon, glue gun.
	Cut a round blank out of cardboard. Put a little hot glue in the center, fix the end of the sequin tape, and so gradually, circle by circle, glue the tape.
	When the tape is stuck on, trim off the protruding cardboard.
	Make a bow out of the tape and glue on the edge.
	Glue a snowflake in the center right away, because the middle, most likely, will not turn out very neat.

Hang the decoration on a Christmas tree or secure it to a wall or mirror with double-sided tape.

Speaking of frames, they are widely used to embody the ideas of New Year's design. Even an old frame that you recently thought about throwing away, but did not raise your hand, is easy to decorate and turn into a meaningful piece of furniture.

	You can decorate any decorations or Christmas tree decorations in the frame.
	Tie strings to the decorations that we will place in the frame and fasten them to the frame. This can be done with hot glue, small nails.
	Paint the frame in the selected color with acrylic paints.
	Decorate the corner of the frame with a spruce twig.
	Garnish with artificial berries additionally.

The latest trend in interior design is volumetric letters. They will come in handy if you are going to create an original festive decor. In general, you can buy them in an online store, but why buy if you can do it, because we decided to do everything exclusively with our own hands.

Video: how to make volumetric letters from cardboard

So, the letters are ready, now let's make them glow. If you don't want to make three-dimensional letters out of cardboard, ordinary corrugated cardboard from a packing box will do.

	The glowing English letters convey the spirit of American Christmas.
	Delete the back of the letter.
	On the outside from the inside, mark the location of the bulbs with a marker.
	Use a screwdriver to make the holes as indicated.
	Using a pencil, line up the holes by inserting it from the front.
	Paint the letters with red paint or another color.
	Separate the garland. Insert the ball from the front.
	Attach the base on the back.

Papercraft: 3D paper volume

It doesn't matter if you know what papercraft is and if you know how to work with paper. The main thing here is patience, because you have to cut and glue a lot. We will create a simply adorable Scandinavian style deer head. All required templates are included. They are posted after the master class. The last 4 photos are templates for horns. You can make them out of a different color of paper. Open each photo in a separate full size tab and print. So, we arm ourselves with everything necessary, we reserve ourselves with patience and proceed.

	To make this decoration, take colored paper, scissors, double-sided tape, glue, nail stick, ruler.
	Print templates. Cut them out.
	Now you need to bend all the lines. To do this, use a ruler and bend the lines as shown in the photo,
	Or, first press the fold lines with a hard, narrow object, in this case a nail stack.
	Dots and dashes indicate inward folds.
	Some dashes - outward folds.
	Now we glue all the details according to the "figure to figure" principle.
	Use double-sided tape to glue the deer's head.
	Such a craft will create an indescribably festive mood.

Deer head templates

Perhaps some ideas will not be useful to you, you will find something difficult, but we hope that we helped you decorate your home, create a New Year's atmosphere, and now you are ready for the New Year.

Before the New Year holidays, many try to come up with original decorations for the house and the Christmas tree. Many unusual toys, beautiful Christmas tree sets are sold in stores, but handmade decorations seem more attractive and original than purchased ones.

Hand-made jewelry seems to absorb a piece of the soul of the one who made them.

To make such a craft, cut the disc into several small fragments with scissors.

Then take a Christmas tree toy and apply glue to it, and then attach the pieces of the disc to the toy - you will get an unusual decoration.

Festive felt crafts

A Christmas decoration made of felt material looks interesting. To make such a craft, large costs are not needed. Such fabric is inexpensive, and you need very little of it.

In addition to individual toys, you can make homemade Christmas garlands from such small felt figures, fixing them on a thread, lace, satin or soutache ribbon.

Many beautiful crafts can be made from fabric. Multi-colored materials open up great opportunities for New Year's decor.

With the help of fabrics, you can make real mini-masterpieces. Catchy colors in cold winter look especially attractive.

You can even make a small Christmas tree with your own hands; it can be placed in the center of the festive table or presented as a gift to friends.

Christmas tree toys made of cardboard or postcards

It is not difficult to make balls on a Christmas tree made of thick paper. For this purpose, you can use thick colored paper, magazine covers and postcards.

Charming Christmas tree crafts are made from cardboard. Cardboard balls can be made with children; this activity will be interesting for those who are looking forward to the New Year so impatiently.

Take a postcard or thick paper (always double-sided) and cut out circles of the same size from it. You need to cut eight blanks. You can use a small glass to draw the circles. Then make two more circles, but a little smaller.

Fold the larger pieces in half in half. You will get a blank, which is a quarter of a circle. On the smaller circle, glue the four blanks made earlier. Then, carefully, so as not to break the craft, straighten the glued "pockets".

If all the actions were performed correctly, you will have two parts of the toy. Before gluing the pieces to the small diameter circle, make sure they are correctly positioned.

The two pieces need to be glued together. After the toy is dry, spread the decor elements on the Christmas tree decoration and attach a bright ribbon. The decoration is ready, you can hang it on the tree.

Balls on a Christmas tree made of threads

Thread balls are a trend in DIY style. Crafts made of threads can be hung not only on a Christmas tree, but also used as a decorative element for the interior of various rooms, for example, to create a spectacular lamp, or used as a ceiling decoration by fixing balls on threads of different lengths. Balls of different sizes can be made from threads.

To create an ornament from threads, you need glue, preferably PVA (it is not visible after it dries), a balloon and threads (leftover yarn).

Before you start, put the threads in the glue for a little while; to do this, pour it into a plate.
Inflate the balloon.

Wrap the yarn that has lain in the glue around the ball so that it resembles a cocoon, leaving small gaps. Let the ball dry - it takes 24 hours.

The ball blank should be pierced in several places to deflate the ball and remove it.
From such thread balls, you can create a fancy festive composition.

Decorate the finished thread balls with pearls, multi-colored beads. Fur, satin ribbons and shiny buttons can also be used for decoration.

Festive wreaths of fir cones

In most cases, doors are decorated with such wreaths, but they can also be attached to the wall in the apartment. Such a wreath over the fireplace looks very impressive, if there is one in the house.

Making a New Year's wreath yourself is easy. Find a suitable base for your wreath, such as willow wire or twigs. You will also need coniferous cones and special liquid nails. Don't forget about materials for decorating your wreath.

Cones need to be glued to the base with nails, try to keep them as close to each other as possible.

You can even paint the buds silver or white using acrylic paints. Decorate the wreath with colored ribbons, shiny rain.

Such an accessory will not only become an interesting idea for decorating an apartment, but will also serve as a wonderful New Year's gift for family and friends.

Festive headband "Snowflakes" in Japanese technique

This Christmas hair ornament resembling a snowflake will appeal to little princesses and adults of the fair sex. This decorative item on the head will emphasize the beauty of the hairstyle.

To make the rim, you will need the following items: a gun for applying glue, squares cut from a white or sky-colored tape about 5 by 5 cm, a lighter, squares of blue tape half the size.

Holiday candles

To make New Year's Eve really special, dim the lights and place candles around the house. You can make candlesticks with your own hands: jars, flower pots, cones, and even cinnamon sticks are suitable for this.

Made with love

You can also make Christmas decorations with your own hands: for example, mold them from plasticine or sew them from felt or velvet. And if you don't like sewing, try making toys out of transparent balls or old light bulbs. To do this, cover the glass surface with glue and dip the ball or light bulb into a bowl of sparkles.

Let there be light

Glowing garlands are guaranteed to create a New Year's mood. Hang them literally everywhere: on the railing of the stairs, on the ceiling and walls, along the cabinets and doorways, and, of course, on the tree. You can make garlands yourself - for example, from corrugated paper or foil.

Small but remote

A Christmas tree made of cones, buttons, lace, woolen threads or multi-colored stickers will be an excellent New Year's decoration. Decorate the finished Christmas tree with sparkles, beads and ribbons - and it will be able to compete with a real Christmas tree.

Draw with Santa Claus

Don't forget the window décor and draw beautiful frosty patterns. To do this, cut out stencils from thick paper and prepare paint: mix toothpaste with water until thick. Now it remains to attach the stencils to the windows and blot them with a sponge.

Delicious garlands

If you're looking for an original way to decorate your home for the upcoming holiday, bake a fragrant gingerbread cookie and make small holes in it. Pass the ribbon through the holes and delight your loved ones with an original edible garland.

A little bit of nostalgia

The Christmas tree can be decorated not only with tinsel, garlands or New Year's toys. Make the holiday brighter and hang printed family photos on the tree - such an original decor will definitely not leave anyone indifferent.

Joy for children

Do not forget about the children - make a beautiful Christmas decoration for them with your own hands. To do this, just put a children's toy and a Christmas tree in a jar, and use rice or cotton wool as snow.

To keep the toys warm

You can make Christmas tree toys from anything - even from an old scarf or sweater. It doesn't take long: take a Christmas tree ball and wrap it tightly with a woolen cloth. Now fasten the fabric at the base of the ball with tape - and you can hang the ball on the tree, windows or railings.

Tangerine mood

Let this year tangerines decorate not only the festive table, but also the Christmas tree. Fold the fruit into simple plywood crates lined with craft paper. When dry, garnish with ribbons or cinnamon sticks. Such simple yet fragrant crafts will look great next to other Christmas tree decorations.

The holiday is everywhere

You can decorate with Christmas balls not only a New Year tree: they will look no worse on windows or a chandelier. The balls are easy to fix on colored ribbons and hang, for example, on a curtain rod.

Creative christmas tree

There are only a few days left before the New Year. New Year's holidays, as always, bring a joyful mood, expectation of a magical miracle, pre-holiday chores and other pleasant moments.
