Simple garlands

The simplest Christmas garland is a chain. For her, choose paper of different colors to alternate the links with each other. Workpieces of any length and thickness are cut, then all the strips are glued - first, the first link is made, a paper strip is threaded into it, glued again and the steps are repeated until a garland of the required length is obtained.

Another interesting decoration option is a chain of colored hearts, and it is much easier to connect the elements with a stapler. By analogy with the previous master class, the required number of narrow strips are cut from colored paper. They take the first two strips, fasten them with a stapler, turn them inside out (as it were, open them), connect two free edges, add two new strips to them and then fix them with a bracket. It turns out an unusual decoration that looks elegant in the decor of the room.

For crafts, you can take crumpled or non-colored paper - the craft will be more fun. Garlands are hung from the diagonal corners of the room, they decorate the Christmas tree, walls, ceiling.

Garland of flags

A popular Christmas decoration for the home is a garland of colorful multi-colored paper flags. On colored paper, draw the shape of a flag with a fold line in the middle and cut it out. You should get a double-sided element. Flags of a different color are prepared in the same way. Each flag is opened, glue is applied to the fold line and a strong thread is glued until the required amount of paper parts for the garland is collected.

Alternatively, the flags can be made triangular by gluing the free corners of the products. Sometimes patches of colored fabric are used for such decoration. After the New Year, you can hang garlands with flags to decorate a children's party.

Christmas trees

What is New Year without a tree? You can decorate the festive beauty with your own colored paper crafts. To make a voluminous hanging decoration, you need to take paper, scissors, cardboard, glue and tape.

2. Glue the edges of each strip like a loop.

3. Glue the blanks to the cone starting from the bottom using tape or glue.

4. Decorate the top of the Christmas tree and the loops with any decor, you can also hang the decoration on the Christmas tree.

Christmas balls

One of the most popular Christmas tree decorations is balls. Colorful, bright, shiny toys make the tree more beautiful and more fun. Christmas balls can be made of colored paper.

From paper strips

To make a simple ball, cut out thin paper strips (at least 18 pieces, more strips, a more beautiful toy) and two small circles. Choose a large bead, insert a thread into it, and thread both ends of the thread into the eye of the needle.

After that, a paper circle and all the prepared strips are strung on a needle by one edge. The next step is to string in order the second edge of each strip, the second circle and one more bead, remove the loop. If you loosen the thread, you get a beautiful ball-shaped toy, you can additionally decorate it.

From circles

Wicker paper balls

You can use ready-made schemes of New Year's decorations to make balls and make them out of paper with your own hands or weave complex toys. Curly strips and a small circle are cut out according to the templates. Lay out the details in the shape of a flower, glue a circle in the center. Next, the strips need to be woven like a pigtail from many strands.

So that the structure does not disintegrate, and it is convenient to work, the strips are fixed with ordinary clothespins. By the end of weaving, a ball will form, the edges of the curly strips are again fastened with a circle and a loop of shiny thread is threaded.

Separately, a flat kokoshnik is cut out for the Snow Maiden, small slots are made on the cone and the resulting element is inserted into them. Previously, the face of the figure painted on a white oval is glued to the kokoshnik, and a yellow braid is glued to the back. For greater realism, you can make small hands-cones, decorate the bottom of the Snow Maiden's coat with white fringe.

The second part of the snowflake is performed in a similar way. After that, the parts are crosswise glued together. As a result, you will get a two-sided volumetric snowfield, on one and on the other side there is a flower in the center.

New Year's decorations made of cardboard (master classes)

For the manufacture of toys and Christmas decorations, cardboard is often used. Thick paper holds its shape well, allows you to make beautiful volumetric figures, four-sided Christmas trees, cones for making Santa Claus and Snow Maiden are ideally obtained from cardboard.

Volumetric balls

Decorating a Christmas tree is not complete without decorations in the form of balls. Large and small, monochromatic and multi-colored toys are hanged on a tree in a chaotic manner.

Volumetric balls made of colored cardboard or colored paper and white cardboard look interesting. They are easy and quick to do:

  1. Circles of the same size are cut out of thick colored paper - 20 pieces, radius 3.5 cm.
  2. Separately, an equilateral triangle template is made so that it is clearly inscribed in a circle.

To make volumetric balls, you can use old postcards or colored cardboard. Toys are decorated with fine decor, sprinkled with sparkles, cut into rain.

Cardboard spruce

A variant of a New Year's decoration or toy is a Christmas tree made of colored cardboard. The most ordinary Christmas tree is drawn on a dense sheet, trying to maintain the symmetry of the spruce paws. On this blank, they make a second part of the same, bend the Christmas tree vertically, glue the blanks and decorate with small circles of colored paper, stars, beads, rhinestones, beads.

In order not to glue the figures, you can make cuts (cut one blank from the top to the middle along the fold line, and the second from the bottom to the center) and insert the parts into each other. Due to the density of the cardboard, the figures will not disintegrate.

How to decorate a Christmas tree with paper decorations

To make a Christmas tree decorated with your own crafts look beautiful, you need to properly hang paper toys and decorations. There are several options for placing jewelry - in a pyramid, in a spiral, vertically or horizontally. Each method is interesting, you need to pay attention to the shape, size and color of homemade paper toys.

Design options for a New Year's beauty:

  • The top of the spruce is decorated with a three-dimensional star of a golden hue - the color of the Earth Dog.

  • In the coming year, the Dogs decorate the spruce with medium-sized figurines of a restrained color scheme. It is especially important to use jewelry made from natural materials - paper, wood, burlap, cones and twigs.

  • A dog figurine can be placed in the central part of the tree to attract good luck and prosperity.

  • Garlands of golden, brown, yellow, green, red, purple, beige colors are used.

  • Paper beads, chains, flags, connected in a garland, are hung in one direction - horizontally, spirals, vertically, from top to bottom.

  • In a chaotic manner, medium-sized balls are hooked onto a tree; toys can be the same or different.

  • They complement the decor with figures of Santa Claus, Snow Maiden, angels, point-to-point cling to several voluminous snowflakes.

Before decorating the spruce with paper toys and crafts, a garland with light bulbs is hung on the tree. You can use a little shiny rain or add a fluffy "snowball" to the decor.

Spruce is decorated to your liking, but in the coming year, the decor should be chosen natural, restrained, in brown colors (all shades), with unobtrusive bright accents - several red bows, burgundy bells, paper cones decorated with beads. Then 2019 will definitely bring good luck and prosperity to the house.

Origami Christmas crafts (2 videos)

Although the edibility of salt dough toys is questionable, they look very appetizing, have a long shelf life and are very easy to make.

For salty dough, you will need:

  • 2 cups of flour;
  • 1 glass of salt;
  • about 250 g of cold water.
Mix everything, then roll out the kneaded dough and cut out the figures. You can add a dye right away at the stage of creating a dough, and the toy will be even more interesting, while it does not need to be covered with paint. Then the dough crafts need to be dried: in the open air it will take 2-3 days, and in a cool oven (up to + 50 ° C) with the door ajar - 6-12 hours. Dried figures can be decorated: covered with paint, glaze, decorated with buttons, shells, beads, pebbles, and so on.

Salted dough garland

It is interesting to create salty toys even with the smallest fidget: this option is not only economically profitable, but also very attractive. I picked up a visual master class for creating a cute lamb from salted dough:

Our readers also don’t waste their time and create these.

Toys made of beads and beads

What could be easier than stringing beads on a wire and bending it into any shape our soul desires? And how many beautiful things you can braid with beads!


Toys made from brocade scraps and other interesting fabrics, decorated with beads, beads and sequins, also look very beautiful.

Pom-pom toys

With this toy, we (me and the child) began preparations for the holiday this year. It becomes even warmer in the heart when a fabulous owl or a fluffy lamb, made by hand, looks at you from the branches of the Christmas tree.

To bring such a toy to life, you will need:

  • a ball of threads you like;
  • some colored cardboard;
  • PVA glue.
The thicker the thread, the less it will go to create a pompom. Eyes can be bought ready-made or painted on cardboard.

We cut out a circle from cardboard or any other dense material and begin to wrap with threads. When the hole will hardly pass the pencil, feel free to cut your threads along the contour of the circle.

In the middle, we tie the resulting bundle with a thread, and remove the cardboard. Now we fluff up the pom-pom - the ornamental material is ready! We make up a favorite animal from pompons and decorate with details cut out of cardboard: horns, hooves, eyes, and so on.

You will find more ideas on this topic in the selection.

Snowmen made of sock and cereal

Has a friend got a hole in your sock? It doesn't matter, on New Year's Eve the wildest dreams can come true, even if they belong to the sock. There was a sock, but now a snowman!

Pour some rice into the sock, tie it with a ribbon, separating the head of the future snowman from the body, fill the rest with rice, tie it tightly. On the head of a newly-made snowman, you can put on a child's sock and make a hat, sew on beads-eyes, draw a mouth and rouge the cheeks with a pencil, paint or mother's shadows (be careful with this!). And sock dreams take shape!

Our relatives, owners of an unlimited amount of rice and Christmas excitement, turned out to be such handsome men.

Thread toys

In essence, they are close to pom-poms, since the materials for the creation will be the same. But the structure of the thread is important here. The more silky it is, the more interesting the toy will be.

We cut out any figures you like from thick cardboard or foam, and wrap with yarn. We decorate with everything that comes to mind: buttons, bugles, beads, bows and so on.

You can take threads of dense texture and create angels or men from them. I had various viscose threads, beads and buttons, seashells from the sea, ribbons. Everything that came to hand was used.

Pretty cute, right?

I really like these toys!


If this technique of creating paper jewelry is too complicated and long for you, you can make the simplest crafts that even small children can do using PVA glue, threads and paper.

Children really like to make from paper, try to make at least one New Year's craft with them - see for yourself!

Felted wool toys

As a child, I did not understand why my grandmother needed a spinning wheel, needles of various lengths and strange "comb" of wool.

Now everything is a thing of the past, and I understand that I could have mastered the art of felting as a child. In our time, this type of needlework has been revived and widespread.

Great toys are created using this technique.

Snowmen made of felted wool and

Watch the wet felting workshop:

Are you ready to try it?

Do not rush to throw away used bulbs, they may come in handy on New Year's. Using only one paint and ribbons, you can perfectly decorate your house and Christmas tree with such unusual toys.

Lamps for the new 2017 can be made from scrap materials. To do this, you only need scissors, glue and colored paper or cardboard packaging:

  1. Take two sheets: one is yellow, the second is contrasting, for example, purple. Cut out two rectangles. Yellow - 100x180, purple - 120x180 (in millimeters).
  2. Take a yellow rectangle and glue its edges in a tubular shape. Then put it aside and move on to the purple part. Fold the sheet in half and make cuts with scissors, leaving space at the edges. We also glue in the form of a tube, like a yellow sheet of paper or cardboard. The photo shows how to make a red flashlight. The sequence of actions is similar.
  3. If you cut everything neatly, then the yellow tube should go into the purple one. Moreover, it must not be pushed through to the end. Its edge must be greased with glue, and only then insert the resulting yellow flashlight into the purple tube completely. The same must be done on the other side of it. Pull up on the purple part slightly to release the yellow part. Cover it with glue. This will lock the yellow leaf into the purple.
  4. To make the flashlight more realistic, you should make a handle. To do this, cut a narrow strip of purple paper or cardboard and glue it to the flashlight.

  • Make two folds in half on a piece of colored paper, and then two folds diagonally.
  • Make small cuts on the edges of the paper and fold into the corners (as shown in the photo).
  • Glue the corners in the center, leaving the rest of them free (this will give the future star volume). You should get some kind of rays.

Advice! Hold the corners while gluing with your finger. This will make them stick together better.

  • Repeat this procedure with the second sheet of colored paper.
  • We glue the two halves of the star into one. Do not forget to put the edge of the ribbon between them, for which you hang the star on the tree.
