Examples of New Year's fabric crafts

Here is a small selection of easy fabric crafts.

Christmas toys made of fabric


In addition, crafts can be made from buttons, threads, cardboard, plastic bottles and any other materials at hand. Turn on your imagination and start creating miracles!

With the approaching holiday of the New Year of the Rat, all kinds of toys and crafts depicting this animal will be relevant. Let's get acquainted, we have prepared a lot of crafts for you.

Cotton pad rat


For example, you can make a cute pig out of the most ordinary cotton pads. Also useful are scissors, gouache, pieces of colored paper or unnecessary fabric, which are glued onto a cotton base creating your own unique little animal. Cotton pads can be pre-painted in the colors we need.

Crochet rat with diagrams and descriptions: we knit the symbol of the year 2020


If you are knitting, then you can make a cute rat as a New Year's toy. Such a rat will be a real candidate for victory in various children's competitions.

To do this, you need to take acrylic or silk threads.

Also for knitting you will need:

  • hooks in sizes 1.2 and 1.8;
  • needles;
  • cotton wool or other filler.

When knitting, you must strictly adhere to the patterns.

Application Rat for children with their own hands


This craft is very simple, but will attract the attention of the child. In addition to colored paper, glue and scissors, we may need felt-tip pens or pencils.

The principle of operation is quite simple - we glue the cut-out details onto the sheet with the image of a pig. To make the applique more colorful, you can draw small patterns on the rat with felt-tip pens.

Drawing "Rat - a symbol of 2020"


For a competition in kindergarten, you can draw a rat as a symbol of the coming year. Any template you like can be printed on a printer or drawn by hand yourself. You can color in any way from paint to colored pencils.

Do-it-yourself felt rat for the New Year: patterns and patterns


Craft stores sell multi-colored felt. This is a wonderful fabric material from which you can sew beautiful crafts. We will also need threads, filler, ribbons and of course patterns.

The patterns are superimposed on the felt and the necessary parts-blanks are cut out. Next, the parts are connected and sewn together. Also, before the last stitches, do not forget to put filler inside. At the very end, all edges are sewn together and decorated with any improvised means: buttons, beads or other materials.

Salt dough rat


There is nothing easier than making a cute craft made from what every housewife has in the kitchen: flour, salt, water. You will also need paint and a brush.

First you need to mix together water, salt and flour to make a dense dough. Next, we form balls from it, which are slightly moistened with a brush and stick to each other in the form of a rat. Using improvised tools, we make recesses in the spout and send the product to dry. At the end of the craft, you can paint.

christmas tree


Another, though this time, an irreplaceable attribute of the New Year is the Christmas tree. I also want to tell you what cool Christmas tree crafts you can make.

Christmas tree from plasticine


For the New Year holidays, you can make plasticine Christmas trees with your child. To do this, we need only three colors: green, light green and brown. Green and light green plasticine will go to form branches, and brown for a pole.


It will not be superfluous if you “hang” multi-colored plasticine Christmas balls on the New Year tree.

We can even fold an unusual Christmas tree out of paper.


In the beginning, we take green paper of various shades, cut small squares out of it and form something like “flowers”. Next, cut out a semicircle of the same color and completely cover it with a thin layer of PVA. Without letting it dry, we glue the prepared flowers as close as possible to each other throughout the semicircle. At the end, we twist the semicircle and fix it in the form of a cone. The resulting cone can be attached to some plastic bottle, pre-painted brown and decorated with pompoms.

For this, plates of small and large sizes are useful. From each plate we form cones of various sizes and stick them on top of each other. At the end of the craft, you can decorate with rhinestones, sparkles or any other improvised means.

Decoration for the new year in the kindergarten "Christmas tree from tinsel"


The Christmas tree will turn out very elegant if it is made of tinsel. It is very easy to make and does not take much time. Cardboard is taken and twisted in the form of a cone. Further, around this cone, tinsel is glued in a spiral from the bottom up. Such a craft will be very strong and it will be possible to hang even sweets in the form of jewelry on it.

Crafts for the New Year 2020 in the form of a Christmas tree-topiary

This Christmas craft for kindergarten can be a real holiday decoration. To do this, you can take a foam cone and thread the wire along the entire height. We bend the upper end of the wire into a spiral. Next, wrap the cone with foil and gently wrap thick green yarn over it. We put the craft in a homemade bucket, fix it with plasticine and close it with cotton wool.

Elegant Christmas tree made of corrugated paper


A very beautiful winter craft will turn out using corrugated paper.

To do this, we make a cone out of cardboard and wrap it with green corrugated paper. Next, you need to make a long segment from another piece of corrugation and cut a fringe on it. After that, completely glue the previously prepared cone with the resulting tape. At the very end, you can decorate our Christmas tree with paper balls, beads or other decorations.


What is New Year's without a Christmas tree? Moreover, a Christmas tree can be made from cones and other improvised means.

To do this, we need a cardboard cone around which we need to glue small cones with the back side. And the higher the tree, the smaller the cones. Then our tree can be decorated with sparkles, tinsel or even rain.

As a material for crafts for the New Year with your own hands, you can use organza. Crafts using this material can immediately claim victory in New Year's competitions or exhibitions.

We cut the green organza into strips, each of which is slightly wider and larger than the other. Next, we connect the ends and make a screed in the center. Then you can take a green cocktail tube on which we string our blanks. Below is the largest and further down. We strengthen the trunk of the Christmas tree in a plastic cup, for example, with plasticine. We decorate the organza with sequins or beads.


Foamiran is a soft foamy material with which you can make presentable crafts for the New Year in the kindergarten.

We need to take a strip of this material 3 cm wide and cut it under the fringe on one side. Further, this strip is attached with glue in a spiral around the paper cone, forming branches. As soon as the product dries, light home-made toys can be attached on top of the foamian.

Symbols of the New Year holidays: original ideas


The following symbols of the New Year are known to everyone. You can’t even imagine what a very beautiful original New Year’s craft can be made from. And so, let's get started.

Santa Claus from plasticine for an exhibition in a kindergarten


What is the New Year without such an important character as Santa Claus? It can be molded from plasticine using the technique of plasticineography.

To do this, take a cardboard circle of the desired size and put a thin layer of blue plasticine on top of it. Next, we begin to attach Santa Claus himself in parts: face, beard, hat, torso, arms, and so on. At the very end, with any convenient tool, you need to create a relief.

You can also make a voluminous soft toy of the main character of the New Year holidays. To do this, you can take a small sheet of thick cardboard and twist it into a tube. From the outside we attach a red fabric. On top of the tube we glue cotton wool in the form of a beard and form a face from any materials at hand.

Christmas snow globe


Each of us has seen a snow globe in the store, which, if you shake it, you can see how a blizzard of snowflakes is spinning inside.

First, we take a glass jar of the desired shape with a lid and figures that can be attached to the inside of the lid using super glue or plasticine. When everything is prepared, pour a quarter of the glycerin into the jar and then distilled water almost to the brim. We mix the solution and then add sparkles and small white plastic that imitates snow.



To make a snowman, it is not necessary to buy anything special.


For example, you can take three ordinary lids and fasten them together in any way. On the inside, you can draw a face with paints. If desired, openwork ribbons, buttons or buttons can be attached to the craft.

Christmas tree decoration "Snowman" from papier-mâché


A papier-mâché snowman will look very impressive on a festive table or Christmas tree. It is easy to make and requires very little time and patience.

We take any starch and dilute it in water so that a solution with a volume of one glass is obtained. This will be our glue. We take a sheet of paper on which the outline of the future snowman is printed or drawn and placed in a transparent file. Then we dip the cotton wool into our adhesive solution, squeeze out the excess and put it on the file along the contour of the snowman. If desired, put a scarf, hat and other details on top of the resulting figure. At the end, dry on the battery and paint in the desired colors.


You can also get a New Year's candlestick from edible ingredients. To do this, knead a hard thick cake from flour with the addition of salt. Then we press a tea candle-tablet in the center and, having received its imprint, we take it back. The resulting shape can be encrusted with rhinestones, beads or other materials. Next, the product is dried. After a few days, the candlestick can be covered with lacquers and tinted with bright colors.

Toy for the New Year in kindergarten from threads


Recently, decorations for the New Year holidays from hollow filament balls have been especially popular. To do this, you can inflate a small rubber ball and randomly wrap it with nylon twine. We coat the twine with PVA and let it dry. Then we blow off the ball and get an unusual frame of threads. We can tint and decorate the resulting product to your liking.

Fancy snowflakes


In this list, we could not help but think of snowflakes. In the usual sense, many represent ordinary cut-out snowflakes glued to windows. We went further and bring to your attention the most unusual snowflakes that you can make with your own hands and surprise everyone.


You can also make snowflakes from plasticine. To get a beautiful and openwork snowflake, you will need several blue balls, which must be rolled into long thin sticks and twisted in the form of shell spirals. Then we wrap one of the spirals around the edges with others and add various decorative inserts from plasticine of other colors.


You can also get a snowflake with a glue gun. To do this, draw the desired snowflake on paper along the contour and leave it for a few minutes to allow the glue to dry. Then the surface of the pattern can be covered with acrylic varnish and sprinkled with silver sparkles on top. Allow time to re-dry.

Snowflake from pasta


The most interesting product before the New Year holidays will turn out even from pasta. It all depends on your imagination. To do this, for example, we take “shells” and collect five-pointed “flowers” ​​from them. Then you can take the spirals, and finish the pattern as you wish.


Then we cover the resulting decoration with white paint and sprinkle with semolina, sugar or salt. At the very end, we can frame our snowflake with a white openwork ribbon.

"Funny snowflakes" from threads


If you want to make original Christmas decorations, then you can opt for yarn snowflakes. They are easy to perform and all you need is sleight of hand and a little patience.

At the very beginning, it is necessary to wrap the yarn tightly around the template, then the threads are cut off at the ends and tied into a knot. 8 beams of the same size are formed and are connected to each other in the center. The ends need to be fluffed. If desired, the snowflake can be decorated with any improvised means.


For the smallest, in kindergarten, I suggest drawing New Year's drawings or postcards. You can also glue beautiful applications. Be sure to include your children in the process. Every child wants to create such a New Year's miracle.

Postcard for the New Year "Christmas tree from braid"


A Christmas tree can also be made using an openwork ribbon. To do this, we take several pieces of tape of various sizes and begin to glue them onto a sheet of cardboard in the form of an accordion. The bottom one should also be the longest one. As the tree grows, the length of the glued ribbons also decreases. Thus, we will get a real three-dimensional Christmas tree with fluffy branches. At the end of the work, you can decorate the craft with buttons or bright beads.

In kindergarten for the exhibition, you can draw Santa Claus, as the most important character of the New Year holidays.


And in order to give the drawing a special atmosphere, it is necessary to moisten a sheet of paper with a sketch with water, apply watercolor paint, then remove excess cotton wool with a cotton pad and sprinkle with salt. This technique will allow the background to acquire "snow crystals". Next, paint as you wish.

Application "Snowman" from cotton pads


Applications do not have to be made from colored paper. Well-known cotton pads are also perfect.

For example, cotton pads can imitate snowballs of a snowman, snowdrifts, or snow-covered tree branches. The remaining parts of the application: snowflakes, houses, tables of trees, can be drawn or glued with colored paper.

New Year's card on a stand


A handmade postcard will be a wonderful craft and at the same time a gift. Such crafts are made in the form of a book, in which absolutely any items can be used for decoration.

The highlight can be voluminous paper figures inside the postcard itself.

Fabric jewelry


Many mothers love needle and fabric, so of course there are fabric crafts for the New Year on our list. There are a lot of them, everything depends on your imagination. We will describe some of the New Year's fabric crafts today.

Felt Christmas tree toys


Using felt and cotton wool, you can make real decorations for school competitions for the New Year, and at the same time they will not be inferior to store ones.

To do this, we cut out two identical halves of the future toy from felt, sew them together and stuff them with either cotton wool or padding polyester. Then you can decorate the toys with sparkles, beads or beads.

Snowman from threads


By the New Year, you can make a snowman out of threads, which in some way will resemble a Christmas tree toy.

For this we need:

  • ordinary balloons,
  • PVA glue,
  • kapron or other dense threads,
  • colored cardboard.

We inflate three balls according to the size of the lumps of the future snowman so that they differ in size from each other. Next, we wrap each ball randomly with threads dipped in PVA. After we dilute the glue with water in a ratio of 1: 1 and now completely cover the ball with this solution. We send to dry completely.

sock snowman


A very cute snowman will turn out from the most ordinary white socks.

Also for our crafts it will be necessary to prepare a multi-colored sock. At the very beginning, we take a white sock and cut off his heel to the ankle. We tighten the place of the cut with a thread, turn it inside out and fill it with any filler. When the sock is clogged to the top, we tie the second end.


At the colored sock, we also cut off the heel and the tip under the toes. Next, we take the middle from the cut off sock and pull it onto our bag and tightly tie its lower and upper edges with threads. Thus, we have a prototype of a snowman with three lumps. We put the tip of a colored sock on the head and tighten the top with a thread. So we get a hat.

Now you can start decorating the face and clothes with the help of small buttons. With due imagination, we can get a truly New Year's toy craft.


Reading what unusual beautiful crafts can be made for the New Year, many have already asked the most understandable question: “Why have paper crafts for the New Year not yet been described?” After all, it's easier than ever. Don't worry, we didn't forget, we just played your appetite.

"Volumetric snowflakes" made of paper


Snowflakes can be not only on the street, but also in the apartment itself and at the same time not melt. And if they are made voluminous, then they can become an additional decoration for the New Year holidays.


For such snowflakes, we need glue, scissors, threads and, of course, the colored paper itself.

The sequence of actions should be as follows:

  1. We cut the paper into squares, bend it diagonally and make cuts 1 cm wide with scissors.
  2. We unfold the paper and fold the resulting stripes and fix with glue from the center to the edges.
  3. And in order to achieve volume, we need to change the direction of the bulges.
  4. So we must glue six squares, which will need to be connected at the lower ends into one snowflake.
  5. We hook the snowflake by the thread and it is ready to decorate the Christmas tree.


The simplest, but in their own way unique snowflakes. They can be mastered even by a child from 3-4 years old under the supervision of adults.


The most ordinary paper is taken and cut into squares or circles. Next, the resulting figures are folded in half several times and any patterns are cut out with scissors. The more folding stages there were, the more original and complex our snowflake will turn out.


Such crafts can be glued both on windows and hung throughout the apartment by a thread.

First, we cut off a fourth part from the plate - we will not need it. We paint over the bottom of the remaining part with flesh-colored paint - this will be the face. Using improvised means, we glue our character's eyes, mouth and nose. And we cut out and make a cap from cardboard.

We turn the plate upside down and, starting from the edges and towards the center, glue it with cotton balls. We can color the paper in red and cut out a hat from it. The nose, eyes and mouth can also be drawn using markers.

Traditional festive mornings are just around the corner. A prerequisite for the upcoming Christmas fun is a green Christmas tree, which you want to see bright and elegant. It is better to make intricate Christmas decorations for the New Year with your own hands together with children. Kids love to sculpt, cut, paint on their own, so everyone will like homemade jewelry.

How to make a Christmas tree toy for a kindergarten with your own hands

The flight of your imagination and the interesting vision of children will give originality and brightness to Christmas tree decorations. For creativity in the apartment or in the country you can find unnecessary old things, cardboard, any paper, threads, ropes, beads, beads. With the hands of adults and children, they will turn into a funny Christmas decoration.

New Year's decorations for kindergarten should be made of safe materials that do not injure the child's fingers

Use bright colors to keep kids interested. You will also need glue, scissors, paints, pencils, wire, self-tapping screws. Do not forget to prepare the ropes to hang toys on the Christmas tree.

From paper and cardboard

There is no limit to fantasy: fairy-tale characters, Christmas trees, balls, snowflakes, hearts, figures of birds and animals.

  • The easiest toys to make will turn out to be beautiful and even, if previously made from plain paper prepare stencils. According to the stencil, the contours are outlined on the prepared cardboard with a pencil, in the upper part of each “cardboard hero” a hole for the rope is pierced with an awl. Finished figures are cut out with scissors, painted on both sides or pasted over with colored paper, decorated with sparkles, beads, artificial snow. Products are enlivened with funny muzzles.

Paper lanterns are easy to make even for small children.

  • BUT from multi-colored paper you can make lanterns with your child. A rectangular sheet is folded in half along the length. Not reaching the opposite edge of the folded sheet by 1 cm and from the sides by 2 cm, transverse cuts of the same width in the form of strips are made with scissors from the side of the fold. The rectangle unbends and folds into a longitudinal tube, the edges of which are glued together. Additionally, a hollow narrow tube is inserted into the finished flashlight as a frame. A thin paper strip-pen is attached to one side.
  • Volumetric stars easy to make for little kids. 2 identical stars are cut out of thick paper. With scissors for each star, a cut is made from the top of one beam to the center. Then, with opposite ends along the cuts, one star is inserted into the other at a right angle. So it turns out one voluminous star, which needs to be colorfully decorated.
  • Multicolored openwork snowflakes are cut out of foil, paper or paper napkins according to special patterns.

Made of felt and fabric

Any plain or colored scraps of old clothes, hats, berets, pieces of leather, fur, cotton wool, buttons, buttons, loops are suitable for such toys. Discuss with your child what toys you will be making. Make a base pattern and fantasize whether it will be animals, birds, men or houses, stars, flowers, trees.

BUT old socks with holes can also be used for snowman crafts, tumblers, nesting dolls, dolls. Sew up the hole and fill the sock up to 1/3 the length of any cereal. Separate the head from the body with a thread, tightening it tightly. Fill the body of the toy with grits too. You can add "legs", "handles" - a funny doll is ready. Draw a face with felt-tip pens or sew on button eyes, nose, mouth.

cones

In autumn, prepare Christmas or pine cones in advance in the forest. They will be a real decoration for the forest beauty. Cones can be varnished, colored foil, silver or gold paint, decorated with cotton wool, sparkles, ribbons. Make a hole for the rope at the top with a self-tapping screw. From the cones you can make little men, snowmen, flowers and much more. Come up with it with the kids.

Rattle balls

Cases from Kinder Surprise will be suitable, but you can take one-time plastic cups. They need to be cut to 3-4 cm high, filled with 2-3 pebbles or dry beans, beans, bolt, which can make a sound. For strength, pre-lubricate the inside with glue and dry. Insert the cups one into the other with the bottoms out and glue. Decorate the surface of the toy to your taste.

DIY Christmas tree decorations with children for school

It is interesting on the eve of the matinee in the evening to make New Year's toys to school with your own hands. Decorations are added to the variety of crafts for kindergarten, which are more difficult to make.

  1. The egg tray will serve as a good material for decorative items, it is similar in properties to clay. Tear it into small pieces and soak overnight in water. In the morning, squeeze out the resulting mass, add a little PVA glue to it and mix thoroughly, leaving no air bubbles. Now you can start sculpting as if from ordinary plasticine. Just do not forget that such "plasticine" hardens quickly, so the sculptures are made immediately. Such crafts dry on the battery for a long time. Finished products can be decorated in different ways using paints, sparkles, ribbons and the like.
  2. From burnt out incandescent light bulbs, funny nesting dolls, snowmen, little men are obtained. Multi-colored ribbons are tied around the narrow part or glued. The lamps themselves are varnished, painted, decorated with confetti, sparkles, cotton wool.
  3. Medals can be made from metal or plastic bottle caps. Use an awl to make a hole in the side of each lid for the tape. Color the “medals” with gold, bronze and silver paints, or red, yellow, green. Use paint cans for convenience. The covers can also be connected, then you get little men. From several covers you can make flowers, snowflakes.

All these crafts will be appropriate for various creative tasks of the school, for example, for the DIY toy event for the Christmas Tree contest.

More ideas

Fairy lights. Suitable for them are different pom poms from old baby hats. You can buy something similar in the "Craft Supplies" store or make pompoms yourself. To do this, a circle with a diameter of 3-4 cm is cut out of cardboard, a hole with a diameter of 0.5 cm is cut inside it, something like a flat wheel is obtained. Any knitting threads are taken, wound on the resulting wheel in several layers through the hole. The more threads are wound, the more magnificent the pompom. The threads are cut along the upper edge of the wheel around the entire circumference, the resulting bundle is pulled together in the center and fixed. Pompoms made of colored threads look more interesting.

You can also take snowflakes, cotton balls with pasted sequins, unnecessary beads, beads, chains for making garlands.

Instead of pom-poms, make candy garlands "chupa chups", homemade gingerbread cookies, real paper-wrapped sweets by tying strings to them, or make decoy sweets from colored paper, foil.

The finished material is put on a thick thread or fishing line at the same distance from each other, like the bulbs of a real garland, and hung on a Christmas tree.

Garlands and snowflakes decorate windows, walls, ceiling in the hall where the matinee is held. Also, when decorating the room, you can hang pictures of New Year's toys made by children with their own hands.

Children and adults get great pleasure from joint creativity, and the holiday will be remembered for a long time. Happy New Year.
