DIY outdoor Christmas toys

If the space of your home allows, you can make a variety of outdoor Christmas toys with your own hands. For example, make a snowman out of plastic glasses, as shown in the photo, and put an LED garland inside. If there are children in the house, they will be truly surprised by finding candy in the cavity of the cups.

You can also design cone-shaped floor Christmas toys with your own hands. You need to make a cone base from thick cardboard, and then decorate it in the form of a Christmas tree, a gnome, Santa Claus and other figures. Use colored paper. Cut out decorations from it and glue them to the base. You can also use foamiran, felt and other materials. You can make a cone-shaped frame from bendable strong wire, wrap it with green thread, and attach an LED garland in the middle - you will get a Christmas tree.

Making Christmas toys with your own hands in large and small sizes

Making New Year's toys with your own hands using the most ordinary materials allows you to create the most unusual products, which sometimes amaze not only with their originality, but also with their size.

DIY mini Christmas toys

To decorate a small Christmas tree or a bouquet of fir branches, we recommend making mini Christmas toys with your own hands. The easiest way to make such decorations is from salt dough. Take 250 g of water, a glass of salt and 2 glasses of flour, knead the dough and start modeling. You can form three-dimensional figures or flat ones by first rolling out the dough in a thin layer. Sculpt whatever you want.

These can be snowflakes, Christmas trees, balls, snowmen. It wouldn’t hurt to make a small puppy - a symbol of the coming year. All these “semi-finished products” must be dried in the oven (5 - 6 hours on low heat) or 2 - 3 days in the fresh air. You can decorate such New Year's toys with your own hands, sprinkle them with glitter, cover them with tinsel and other decorative elements.

Huge DIY New Year's toys

Spectacular decorations that differ in their scale are often used to decorate a private home. These can be large garlands and huge DIY New Year's toys: New Year's creatures, balls, bells. Such decorations can also be found at city festive events and fairs. A large DIY New Year's toy ball can be made from an ordinary gymnastic ball; you just need to decorate it and beautifully decorate the loop, disguising the handle with a satin ribbon with a bow.

A huge DIY New Year's toy “clock” can decorate not only the exterior of the house, but also the interior of a spacious room, if you install a flat structure against the wall. They can be an excellent element of a corner for a photo shoot, and the arrows will remind you of the upcoming holiday. Such a watch can be made from plywood, and the mechanism may be missing altogether, or you can get it along with an old watch at a flea market. Like all DIY New Year's toys, the clock should also be decorated. This can be done with multi-colored tinsel, an image of Santa Claus on the dial, or artificial snow.

How to make New Year's toys with your own hands in different stylistic directions

It has become quite fashionable to decorate the New Year's interior in compliance with one or another stylistic direction, on which the design of New Year's toys with your own hands largely depends. Let's look at some options.

DIY New Year's toys in Provence style

Provence is the style of an old French village, characterized by comfort, warmth, natural materials, textiles and floral prints. To make New Year's toys in Provence style with your own hands, take old ball toys, wrap them in a bag made of natural patterned fabric, make lace bows on top and decorate with beads. An excellent solution would also be a variety of toys made of felt or decorated using the decoupage technique with images of small flowers.

DIY New Year's eco toys

Eco style has become more and more popular over the years, as humanity has appreciated the priority of natural materials. You can make your own New Year's eco-friendly toys from wood, pine cones, branches and other natural materials. For example, having collected acorn caps in an oak grove, you can paste them over a simple New Year's ball. To make such a toy look impressive, treat each hat with varnish, dip it in gold glitter and glue it on. The addition will be a loop of gold braid.

Vintage DIY Christmas toys in retro style

You can make interesting New Year's toys with your own hands if you decorate them in an antique style. To decorate your Christmas toys with your own hands in an antique style, you can use the decoupage technique. Paint the ball initially not with white, but with light brown paint to create an antique effect. You can choose napkins with images of angels, since decorating a Christmas tree was previously considered a purely Christian tradition. Apply it with PVA glue and, after drying, open it with varnish. The toy can be decorated with a satin ribbon bow, beads or pebbles.

You can make antique New Year's toys with your own hands from salt dough according to the recipe that we discussed earlier in the article. When decorating them, you should not use bright unnatural colors, but rather choose muted ones. Scuff marks on toys would be an ideal complement.

DIY New Year's toys in modern minimalism

The minimalist trend in its purest form presupposes the absence of unnecessary non-functional decorations, but during the New Year holidays some exception can be made. When decorating your New Year's toys with your own hands in this style, you should choose one or two primary colors that will be present in the interior. It can be white with blue or yellow with red, etc.

The shapes of toys should also not be full of variety. Make neat bows from satin ribbons, paint the balls one color and hang it all on the tree in a checkerboard pattern. You will see that even such a seemingly modest design will have a rather impressive look.

There are a large number of different ways to make New Year’s toys with your own hands, and in our article we tried to outline some ideas for their design, and it’s up to you to decide which technique to use. In any case, you will get an exclusive and original decoration.

We make Christmas decorations for the Christmas tree with our own hands from plastic bottles and light bulbs

A fairly common craft, a souvenir, and someone will even give such a treasure as a gift, I recommend doing it yourself at home. Just be careful if you make a craft from a light bulb, it’s still not for children’s hands.

Plastic bottles will be safer and more durable.

Snowflakes are an integral part of winter and New Year's decorations! There are many ways and options for making such crafts. Today we will look at a very interesting, and most importantly simple way to make a snowflake from knitting threads. Making such a snowflake is very easy and quick, so you can start working with your children.

To make a snowflake we will need:

white knitting thread;
6 transparent beads;
scissors;
needle;
school notebook or book.

It is not necessary to make such a snowflake from white yarn. You can take a thread of any color. The size of the finished snowflake will depend on the object on which we will wind the thread. You can take a general notebook or book and wind a white thread. The thicker we wind it, the larger and thicker the snowflake will be. But you don’t need to wind a lot, because in this case the pattern of the finished product will be difficult to see.

Then carefully remove the workpiece and pull it in the center with a thread of the same color, tying 2 tight knots. That is, we grab both sides of the resulting ring and tie a knot.

Now use scissors to cut from both edges. We tighten them well with the blades of scissors so that the threads are then approximately the same length.

Turn the workpiece over and distribute the threads approximately equally. We need to see the center of the workpiece. We do this on both sides, forming a circle of threads. In this position, place the workpiece on a hard surface.

We divide the threads into 6 approximately equal parts. There is no need to count each thread, just distribute it in bunches by eye.

Now, stepping back a little from the center, we pull the bundle with thread.

We do this with each bunch. We drag at the same level.

In the center we already have a small six-pointed snowflake. Next we will form a new tier of snowflakes. To do this, we need to divide each bundle into 2 equal parts. These parts must be combined with adjacent beams.

And we tie the resulting bundles again.

To decorate our snowflake we will take 6 transparent beads. We thread a piece of thread inside. You can use a wide eyed needle for this if it fits into the hole on the bead.

We tie the bundle again. We do this with each bunch.

Now all we have to do is trim the tassels. We cut them with scissors.

In just a few minutes you can make a beautiful three-dimensional snowflake from knitting threads.

This beautiful airy snowflake can be used as a New Year's toy to decorate a Christmas tree.

Christmas deer toy for the tree made from popsicle sticks

The next toy is a cute deer made from wooden popsicle sticks. An entertaining process and amazing results are guaranteed!

Required materials and tools:

wooden ice cream sticks;
stationery knife;
glue;
paint and brush;
decorative elements.

At the initial stage, you need to prepare a paper stencil. You can do this in two ways: print it from the Internet or draw it yourself. In any case, the picture must subsequently be cut out with scissors.

We lay out the wooden sticks close to each other and transfer the outline of the deer using the blank. A pencil is quite suitable as a tool. Its lead fits well on a wooden surface.

After completing the labor-intensive process, all elements need to be glued together. The result should be the basis for a Christmas tree decoration.

We begin the entertaining stage of decor by painting a faceless deer. Colors can vary from traditional red to bright yellow. However, you should not combine more than two types. Otherwise, decorative elements may get lost against such a background.

At the final stage, we fasten the loop and decorate the base of the toy. Ribbons, buttons, beads are not a complete list of items that can be used to decorate a toy.

A cute handmade Christmas deer will certainly surprise friends and family with its originality. Using the described principle, you can assemble a whole hand made collection of toys in the form of Christmas trees, shoes or hearts. Creative inspiration and imagination!

Christmas ball made from disk

Decorating a Christmas tree for the New Year - what could be more interesting? In this short lesson, let's look at a master class on creating a wonderful ball from a disk.

To work we will need:

white and blue felt;
disk;
white cotton yarn;
glue;
decorative buttons and other decorations.

First, cut out snow and blue sky from felt, the diameter of this should be equal to the diameter of the disk.

Next, take hook No. 2 and white yarn, start knitting the reverse side of our decoration, it should have a large number of spaces, since thanks to them, the disk itself will be visible. We choose any pattern for this.

The diameter of the reverse side must correspond to the diameter of the disk. Now let's start decorating the outside. Glue colorful buttons to the felt.

Then we take a thread and sew on beads, they will imitate snowflakes. This is what we get.

Now you need to sew the two parts of the product together by inserting a disk in the middle. We stitch and sew a ribbon on top, and also use a white ribbon to cover the outline of the disc.

Now our work is ready. This decoration can be hung on any Christmas tree!

Toys - DIY paper umbrellas

See how to make these here.

It’s hard to imagine the New Year’s mood without snow, so let’s add some snowflakes to the home decor. They can be made from various materials, from plain paper to wood and glass. Let's consider a method for making a decorative snowflake from glue.

We prepare all the necessary tools and materials:

glue gun;
glue for a gun (a couple of sticks is enough);
baking paper or foil;
any cream;
glue;
tassels;
scissors;
glitter;
thread for hanging.

The whole process will take no more than an hour, everything is so fast and elementary that you can trust the child to do it. This craft is also suitable for kindergarten. First of all, we choose the design of the future snowflake. You can search on the Internet, or you can come up with it yourself.

Please pay attention that there are no too small parts, the glue will merge into an ordinary blot in them.

We transfer the drawing to baking paper/foil, grease the surface with any cream - without it the glue will be difficult to peel off.

We heat up the glue gun and begin to carefully trace the outline of the snowflake with a strip of liquid glue. We make sure that there are no separate lines left, they all must intersect, otherwise individual parts will simply fall off.

After the New Year's snowflake is completely circled, let it dry for a few minutes.

Dry glue is easily cut with scissors, at this stage we cut off all the imperfections (protruding drops, excess glue), and correct the very shape of the snowflake.

Now you can begin the decorating stage. This will require glue. Using a brush, apply a thin layer of glue to the surface of the snowflake.

Sprinkle with glitter, white glitter will create a more natural effect.

Let the glitter glue dry for 20-25 minutes, after which we attach a thread for hanging. That's it, the snowflake is ready to decorate the Christmas tree and give New Year's mood.

How to make such a New Year's toy - watch a detailed video master class

Solution for threads: take 50 ml of water and dissolve 3 teaspoons of sugar in it, add PVA glue - the more, the better. And we wrap the balloon with threads as shown in the video:

DIY 3D Christmas tree toy

Decorating a Christmas tree with the whole family is a real pleasure. The very preparation for the New Year causes dizziness and anticipation of a fabulous holiday. Each family member is busy with his own business, for example, looking for gifts, recipes for the holiday table, or making New Year's decorations with his own hands.

On the eve of the New Year, why not decorate the Christmas tree with toys made with your own hands from natural materials, in particular, pine cones? This simple craft looks very harmonious on green branches.

For work we prepare:

pine cone;
clothespin;
tinsel;
plastic snowflake;
scissors;
glue.

In this craft we will use an open pine cone. However, absolutely any variety of cones, for example, Crimean pine, is suitable for making this decoration.

And one more moment. A plastic snowflake purchased from a craft store is used as a decorative element. If it is not possible to get such a part, it can be replaced with corrugated paper, plastic flowers cut out of cups.

In general, there is something to think about in your spare time. How to make a decent frame for your bump? The process of making the craft is very simple. First you need to glue the snowflake to the clothespin.

Glue a new decorative craft element in the center of the snowflake.

All that remains is to attach a pine cone on top. We don't regret glue. The cone should stick tightly to the plastic snowflake, not to the tinsel.

The decoration is ready. It turned out to be a kind of candle.

Of course, if you wish, you can paint the cones in different colors in advance, decorate them with beads or sparkles. We won't do this. The resulting candle looks very natural and harmonious on the green paws of our fluffy tree.

Here's proof of that. A bump, like a bump. Nothing extra. Even the red color of the clothespin does not bother the eye (although, without a doubt, wood would be better suited here).

A very original craft for a Christmas tree made from light bulbs - video tutorial

Children are preparing for the New Year celebration - learning scripts, poems, congratulations and making winter-themed crafts. These can be applications on windows, paper garlands or Christmas tree decorations. We'll probably stick to the last option. Our Christmas tree is already decorated with homemade bunnies, snowmen and other figures.

Today we will make a craft from pasta in the form of spirals. We suggest focusing on the simplest and most understandable master class, which children of primary school age can independently repeat.

For work we prepare:

Paper triangle;
a piece of plastic from a folder or binder;
PVA glue;
spirals;
watercolor with brush;
ribbon or thread for a loop;
scissors.

We have a primitive Christmas tree template made from white paper in the form of a triangle, scissors and a plastic rectangle from a binder.

Let's connect them together and cut out a transparent blank from plastic for a New Year's craft from pasta - a Christmas tree.

Of course, sometimes gaps will be visible between the parts, but they do not spoil the craft at all. So even better. The tree has clearly visible branches.

It’s time to pick up a watercolor and a thick brush and cover the Christmas tree with emerald greenery. In order not to stain the table, we placed a regular landscape sheet under the workpiece.

All that remains is to hang bright decorations on the prickly paws of the tree. Let's use PVA. These can be shells, bows or the same spirals. In our case, the curls represent long candles. Let's paint them rich red.

Attach a loop to the top of the craft. Here it is better to use a stapler or superglue. Otherwise, how can you hang a pasta toy on the Christmas tree?

A craft glued to an ordinary clothespin will hold firmly enough to the branches. Then you don’t have to deal with the loop.

This is what our decoration looks like on a real Christmas tree among the balls and tinsel. Beautiful?

Children's craft - Christmas tree made from pasta

This New Year's toy can be made in 20 minutes from simple improvised materials.

The work will require the following materials:

the basis for the cone is a foam ball or an egg from children’s toys;
brown velvet colored paper;
foam balls or cone-shaped blanks;
narrow tape for loop;
glue gun

We cut a piece 10 cm long from the satin ribbon. From velvet paper we cut out droplets - scales of the future cone about 1 cm in size. The paper can be absolutely any color, because New Year's cones are distinguished by a variety of colors and colors.

First of all, we glue the tape to the wide base of the toy - to the foam blank.

We begin gluing the scales from the loop side. We cover the entire surface of the workpiece with them.

To prevent the cone from looking boring, we crumble the foam and attach balls to the edges of the scales in the upper part.

The New Year's snow-covered cone is ready in a matter of minutes. Such toys will not only save money on purchasing Christmas tree decorations, but will also decorate the tree and the interior of the room.

One of the most popular New Year's decorations can be called a Christmas angel made of paper, which can be made according to the proposed master class. This angel is made very simply and quickly.

Necessary materials:

White sheet of A4 format;
scissors;
pencil;
ruler;
glue;
gold colored sparkles.

First, cut out 2 squares of paper of the required size, on which the final size of the future angel will depend. In our case, the squares measure 9x9 cm.

Now we fold both squares like an accordion.

On each of the blanks you need to make one fold in opposite directions. This fold should be located approximately 1/3 of the distance from the edge.

On each of the blanks it is necessary to glue the side side, the upper part will be the wings of an angel.

Now let's start creating the head. To do this, cut a strip from a sheet of paper, the width of which is equal to the accordion with which we folded the squares. After this, we begin to twist the cut narrow strip, periodically fastening it with glue.

To create a head of the required size, several strips may be required; we take as many as needed to make a proportional craft.

We make the remaining end of the narrow strip free, creating a halo. We fasten a strip of paper at the bottom and leave a small end.

We glue the resulting blank between two previously bent accordions.

Using golden sparkles we decorate our craft.

Our paper Christmas angel is ready.

DIY Christmas decorations are the most original decorations. Of course, you won’t find another ball, snowman or animal like this. It is made in a single copy. Christmas trees decorated with homemade children's toys look incredibly colorful and unique.

Today we invite you to consider a simple master class and answer the question: how to make a New Year's craft from a plastic cup? Of course, other available materials will be used in the work. But! The decoration will still be based on a yogurt cup.

So, for the craft you will need:

cotton wool;
tinsel;
a plastic cup;
sequins;
satin ribbon or thread;
glue;
scissors.

At the first stage, the children cannot cope on their own. You will have to turn to adults for help. You need to make two neat holes in the plastic cup. In a second, dad will pierce even holes with an awl, through which we will stretch a satin ribbon - the handle of the future flower basket.

Secure the ends of the tape with small knots.

Now let's take a piece of snow-white cotton wool and put it in the basket. Of course, any other filler can be used for this purpose. However, we associate cotton wool with snow and the New Year. Moreover, it is incredibly light, and therefore will not weigh down the craft at all.

Let's cut off several short pieces from the tinsel and imitate the greenery in the basket.

It’s time to coat each sequin with glue and place a fiery bouquet on the surface of the cotton wool.

As a result, in 15 minutes we received a colorful, light and cute Christmas tree decoration - a basket of flowers.

Let's show you a New Year's craft made from a plastic cup and scrap materials in close-up.

But the basket took its place on the Christmas tree.

This concludes the work. It's time to remove the remnants of materials used in making crafts from the table and go outside for new ideas. A walk in the frosty air always inspires creativity!
