DIY Christmas decorations from gift paper. Snowman with a whisk. Craft ideas for creating a New Year's interior

Someone is preparing for the new year, decorating the tree with designer expensive decorations, and someone else - with cheerful multi-colored electric garlands and glass balls from the store.

Such Christmas tree decorations will undoubtedly make the New Year's beauty stylish and beautiful, but, unfortunately, they cannot be compared with handmade toys. After all, the very process of their creation not only enhances the anticipation of the holiday, but also gives invaluable minutes of communication to all family members.

There are a lot of options for how to make Christmas tree decorations with your own hands for the coming new year, but the most affordable and not requiring special skill in manufacturing are New Year's toys made of paper. You only need materials at hand that can be found in any home, a little patience and creative imagination.

The most common and versatile toys for the New Year are Christmas balls. You can make them yourself from any thick paper: colored cardboard, colorful postcards or old magazine covers. Single-colored balls will add a single style to the room, and multi-colored ones - an atmosphere of fun and fabulous magic.

So, before you start making such paper toys, you need to prepare the following:

  • thick paper with a pattern you like;
  • scissors;
  • PVA glue;
  • a compass or any object, outlining which, you can reproduce a circle (jars, lids, glasses, etc.).

How to do:

  • Draw 21 identical circles on paper and cut them out with scissors.

Prepare the mugs as follows:

  • bend the circle twice in half (this is necessary to determine the center);
  • unfold the circle and bend one side of it so that the edge of the circle is exactly in the center;
  • bend two more sides of the circle to make a triangle with equal sides;
  • cut out the resulting triangle, which will play the role of a template for the rest of the details;
  • overlay the triangle over the rest of the circles, trace with a pencil and bend the edges outward along the lines.
  • Glue 10 circles together with two sides so that you get a strip: 5 circles on top, and 5 - below. The strip must be glued into a ring. This will be the base for the balloon.

  • Divide the remaining 10 pieces by 5 pieces and glue them in a circle. We got two "caps".

  • Glue the top and bottom "caps" to the base in sequence.
  • The loop for hanging the ball can be made from a thread threaded through the top of the toy with a needle, or from a beautiful ribbon. A ribbon loop is fixed with a knot and passed through the top of the ball “cap” before gluing it to the base. The knot remains inside the toy, and the loop is outside.

An original paper toy with your own hands is ready for the coming year!

DIY paper Christmas decorations... The hit of this winter is starfall, the end and edge of which is not visible.


To create these, you need one template or stencil, a long rope and glue. On the stencils, you need to cut out so many stars so that it is enough to shower the whole house. Since the option of such a craft is very simple, it is necessary that the stars themselves have individual artistic value, therefore, if you take bright, colored sheets for them, maybe even with sparkles or metallic overflows, then this will only get better. Another good option is wrappers, which are sold for gift wrapping departments, this material already has an interesting texture, and is not so expensive. One such leaf can become the progenitor of hundreds of stars. You need to collect the garland on a rope, using glue for this, coat it on one star, lay the rope on it so that it passes in the middle, and then cover it with a second star on top and gently press it with your fingers so that the elements are fixed. You can run the garland in several strands, you can organize a whole star curtain by placing them on the cornice of a window or doorway, or you can let them come down from the chandelier, shining beautifully under artificial lighting.

They are not glued to a rope, but attached with an ordinary clothesline, making a creative garland in the style of photographic exhibitions of dryers.


Volumetric decorative accents can complement garlands with a more uniform texture, for example, paper balls, folded in any way you know, always bring bright touches. They are fragile and strong at the same time, large and neat, suitable for any interior, since the color for them is limited only by the palette of your set of colored craft cardboard.
