Application: DIY New Year's Monkey. Master class with step by step photos. Contrasting textile application. Postcard with volumetric Christmas balls

Or the very face of a monkey.

Very unusual craft the monkey is obtained from the disk.

From children's palms, a very touching drawing of a monkey can turn out.

It is quite simple to make a monkey out of paper - even a preschooler can make it with his own hands.

What to prepare in advance for work:

• cardboard tube from toilet paper;
• ice cream stick (you can do without it);
• colored paper and cardboard in dark brown and beige colour(you can also use foam board of the same shades);
• toy eyes;
• a piece of brown chenille wire;
• scissors;
• pencil;
• black marker;
• glue.

Before you make a monkey with a child, you need to prepare a cardboard tube from toilet paper. It must be pasted over with dark brown colored paper or painted with dark brown paints.

Then an oval is glued to the center of the tube light shade- this will be the tummy. If paints are used, an oval is drawn.

Glue an ice cream stick to the inside of the tube so that its edge protrudes.

From dark brown paper (it is better to use foam board or corrugated cardboard) cut out the circle. This will be the head of the monkey.

Cut out a muzzle from beige paper, glue it to the head.

Glue the eyes on the muzzle.

We cut out two small semi-ovals from the mesh cardboard, glue them to the head from above along the edges - we get ears.

Draw the nose and mouth with black marker.

Glue the head to the ice cream stick. You can also glue it to the tube itself if there is no stick.

We cut out two more half-shafts from beige cardboard, bend their straight edge up and glue it to the monkey's body, like paws. Draw fingers with a black marker.

On the back of the body we make a small hole, we fix a piece of chenille wire in it. It turns out a tail.

Before class, be sure to remind your child that the monkey is a cheerful, funny and mischievous character, therefore, by making and giving it, we wish ourselves the same cheerful, light and joyful.

New Year's Eve! It's time to think about what to give to relatives and friends, and most importantly - how not to go broke and not spend extra nerves running around the shops. After all, you always want gifts to be not only pleasant and useful, but also unique. A The best way to create a unique gift is to make it yourself. Since the upcoming year according to the Eastern calendar is the year of the Fire Monkey, the gifts that we have collected in a collection of ideas will be appropriate.

So here are the most original ideas DIY Christmas gifts for 2016!

Christmas tree lamp

Where to start preparing for the holiday? Of course, from its main attribute - Christmas trees! And this year, we advise not only to put a green beauty in the house, but to make it as elegant as possible and decorate it with as many lights, garlands and luminous bulbs as possible. Why? Because the gifts New Year You can make monkeys with your own hands and absolutely any - so let them reflect the character of the "mistress of the year" - mischievous, restless and bright!
And since the Monkey will be Fiery, then we will make the Christmas tree special - in the form of a lamp. You can collect it very quickly. Roll a large cone out of whatman paper - it will be the base. For greater reliability, you can cover it with double-sided tape. Soak the green mesh - flowers are often decorated with this - soak it in PVA glue and then wrap it around the cone, securing it in several places with pins. With a brush dipped in glue, fasten the ends of the mesh and put them on the pins too. It is better to take a set of multi-colored pins - they will become additional decorations. When the glue dries, remove the Christmas tree from the cone, place inside glowing garland and decorate the net with beads and light toys.

Christmas decorations

In this collection, we have collected not only ideas for New Year's gifts for 2016, which you can do with your own hands, but also ideas for decorating an apartment and a Christmas tree using improvised means.
Of the most simple ideas for the Christmas tree, take garlands, sweets and cones. The fiery monkey will be very happy if the Christmas tree is bright, iridescent and shiny. The more colors you use in decor, the better you will bring the symbol of the year into your home. Garlands can be chosen in several colors at once, moreover, by adding multi-colored rain. candy in bright wrappers can be hung on a Christmas tree as decorations, and nuts can be wrapped in foil or candy wrappers and placed there.
Cones for greater elegance can be decorated with spray paint cans, and put more fruits under the Christmas tree - bananas, tangerines and nuts - the Monkey will not be able to pass by!
And, of course, the symbol of the year itself should be on the Christmas tree. A light fabric figurine of a Monkey, for example, like this one, can be sewn easily and quickly!

First, draw a monkey figurine on paper, as well as a blank for the muzzle and ears. The size of the finished figurine will be slightly smaller than the one drawn on paper, keep this in mind! Attach the pattern to the fabric, pin it with a pin and cut it out so that two mirror figures come out, two ears and a muzzle of a different color.

Embroider the eyes and nose with black threads on the muzzle, and then sew the muzzle itself with color-to-color threads to front side figurines. Then fold both halves together and stuff with cotton, gradually sewing together. When everything is ready, sew on the ears and the string on which the toy will hang with a couple of stitches. Ready! It remains to decorate the Monkey with a cute bow! And if you wish, you can make a whole family of monkeys - different colors and invoices.

Greeting Cards

Festive new year card, like gifts for the year of the monkey, you can do it yourself and completely different ways. Can decorate traditional postcard, making it unique with the help of a handmade application, you can add volume with the help of a monkey figurine to highlight the symbol of the year. And if the soul asks for originality, you can fold an origami monkey figurine!

To make such a cute little animal, just print the picture. On the one hand, it will look like this:

... and on the other hand, this one:

And here's what happens in the end:

You can take a more difficult task: to make an origami monkey with a cub, just take a colored sheet of paper medium density and fold as shown in the diagram:

New Year's gifts from sweets with their own hands for 2016

What else can not do without a single new year? Of course, no sweets! And it doesn’t matter if there are children in the house or not - it’s nice to please yourself with delicious desserts and chocolate at any age! Besides, sweet gift always universal. So, what gifts for 2016 year of the monkey can you make with your own hands from sweets and chocolate?

The first option is a sweet ball. This is a two-in-one gift - both a Christmas tree toy and a dessert for New Year's table. For manufacturing, we need a glass or plastic ball, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, chocolate chips, small marmalade marshmallows, glazed candies or marshmallows. In a pre-prepared ball (without top attachment, washed and dried), we pour all the ingredients in turn: first cocoa powder, then powder, then crumbs, then everything else: from heavy to lighter and less dense. Then we put the top back on and do not forget to strengthen it - tie it with a ribbon, for example. Such a ball will decorate New Year's days, and then it will easily turn into a wonderful drink: you just need to remove it, pour the contents into a mug and pour hot milk over it.

The second option is chocolate sledges! All we need to make them is a couple of candy canes for skids, a small flat tile, some rectangular candies, satin ribbon and a bow. To strengthen the structure, use a glue gun or double-sided tape. Sledges are made in five minutes: just put a large chocolate bar on lollipops with tails bent up, and put smaller sweets on top - from large to small, strengthening it all with drops of glue. In the finale, tie everything up with a ribbon and make an elegant bow from its ends - or place a ready-made, industrial one on top, also fastening it with glue. Ready!

And finally, one more New Year's variant candy gift - chocolate Christmas tree! To make a large Christmas tree, choose larger candies, a small one - smaller.

Roll a cone out of cardboard, glue it and cut off the excess at the base. Decorate with tinsel along the bottom edge using double-sided tape.

Then, on the same adhesive tape, glue a layer of sweets - for the ponytails from candy wrappers.

Continue filling the Christmas tree to the top, alternating a layer of tinsel with a layer of chocolates.

Decorate the top with tinsel or a toy, and add more rain. Ready! And instead of a cone, you can use a bottle of alcohol - this surprise will please parents no less than upper layer- children!

Do-it-yourself packaging for New Year's gifts for 2016 - master class

So, sweets are purchased and decorated, we made gifts - what is left? Of course, beautiful, intriguing packaging!

Any, even the most simple and ordinary box, can be made New Year's in a matter of minutes! To do this, it is enough to decorate it, for example, with such a cute monkey face cut out of paper.

Similar muzzle applications can be made independently - then each will have its own personality and character. And they will give originality even to simple packaging bags!

If you already have ready-made boxes for souvenirs at hand, you can decorate them with appliqués, cut out and painted the way you like. For example, you can take these pictures as a basis.

In simpler pictures, children can also “fill their hand” - learning to use scissors in New Year's pictures that you can give to friends is exciting! If they are still unsure about holding the scissors, they can help with coloring the drawings. And it is better to process complex pictures with a clerical knife, just remember the safety rules!

It is customary to give cards for the new year. Postcards can be as traditional (classic with images of everyone's favorite new year characters- Santa Claus, Christmas trees, Snow Maiden, Snowman), but also non-traditional with images of the symbol of the year according to Eastern calendar- Monkeys. This is exactly what we will make with you.

To make postcards you will need: paper, scissors, glue, voluminous double-sided tape and a great desire.

Step 1. Cut out along the contour of the details of the Monkey figure - the figure itself, head, paws, ear, lollipop, pompom and other details. To carefully cut the background around the ponytail, you need to pierce the background with thin (manicure) scissors, and then cut it out. You can help the child here, you can leave this place and not cut out. We do the same for the lollipop.

Step 2. Prepare two-sided cattle. Choose the basis for the application.

We take the detail of the Monkey (detail 1).

Put tape on it.

Glue this part to the previously selected base. We took a postcard as a base (you can take a sheet of cardboard or scrapbooking paper as a base).

Step 3. Take the part of the Monkey (part 2).

Put tape on it.

We glue this part to part No. 1, combining the drawing with the image.

Step 4. Take the part of the Monkey (part 3 - foot).

Put tape on it.

Step 5. Take the part of the Monkey (part 4 - head).

Put tape on it.

We glue this detail on the monkey, combining the drawing with the image.

Sticking tape on reverse side all other cut parts.

Step 6. We paste the following details on the Monkey figurine, in ascending order of numbers, aligning them with the image.

Our postcard is ready.

This is the volume we got.

Step 7. We sign congratulations and you can give.

Consider the process of making another Monkey postcard

We take our monkey, which we made.

We parse it.

We open a place for congratulations.

We take out New Year's stickers or print christmas pictures themselves.
