DIY paper Christmas decorations templates. Christmas toys made of paper - bright ideas with your own hands



The Christmas tree is the eternal embodiment of joy and celebration. And not only for children. Adults, too, with poorly hidden trepidation await the coming of the New Year, when all the most cherished dreams come true. And for this you don't need so much - just decorate the tree with cute trinkets. They say that it is this ritual that helps any desire come true. All the more so if these are done.

A house decorated with tinsel immediately becomes warmer and more comfortable.

Of course, it is easier to decorate the Christmas tree with expensive purchased toys: huge glass balls, cheerful electric garlands, bright rain. No one argues that such a tree will look very presentable and elegant. But will there be so much soul in a cold glass toy, as in a touching cardboard toy, made with your own hands, and even with children's hands. Over the years, of course, both purchased and home-made toys will decay, lose their former gloss. But if you just throw away a flawless, but aged factory decoration without a drop of regret, then the hand that you made with your child will not be thrown away. And then you will try to breathe new life into it, fix torn parts, glue or touch up. And not because you will be sorry to throw out a piece of paper or fabric, but because this naive product contains a piece of your soul, a fragment of your life with your child. Touching this craft, you seem to relive the moments of years gone by, which you can return, perhaps, in such memories.

For this voluminous garland, you need to cut out several snowflakes according to the pattern and glue them together.

So, let's see what we can do. The simplest and most affordable thing that we can do is fix the old toys of our children and sew ribbons to them, if they are soft toys, stretch the braid through the hole or tie it to the thinnest part of the toy made of hard materials. Such a small toy will look very cute on a Christmas tree branch.

The most common way to make Christmas tree decorations is paper toys. To make a simple but very cute holiday toy-RING with your own hands, you only need sheets of colored cardboard and paper, as well as scissors and glue. First, you will have to work on a cardboard ring, which, however, can be replaced with a decorated one - pasted over or painted, an adhesive tape ring or any other suitable element. Then an accordion is made from a strip of white or colored paper, less than the radius of the ring, and glued from the inside into the ring-base. After that, it remains only to add bright strokes with the help of squares contrasting to the color of the base. They are folded in half and glued symmetrically into the folds of the accordion.

How to make Santa Claus with your own hands?

To make a Christmas toy with your own hands, you can come up with something of your own, unusual and interesting. The decoration will look original in the form of a felt lamp or a magic snowflake made of beads, shining like a diamond scattering. And you can make a real GRANDFATHER FROST. To create this kind old man, who will become an original decoration of a child's room, you will need a paper plate, cotton wool, sheets of colored paper, felt-tip pens, watercolors, white glue, white acrylic paint, scissors and, of course, a good mood. So, you can start.

  • First, a paper plate is taken and painted white with acrylic paint. After the paint has dried, a nose made of a ball of crumpled paper is glued to the back of the plate, which is pasted over with shreds of white paper according to the papier-mâché principle. By the same principle, you need to make grandfather's cheeks and eyebrows, and after the glue dries, paint everything white.
  • After the nose is completely dry, you need to mix a little white and brown paint until you get a natural complexion. The resulting shade is applied to a plate. A little red tint is added on the cheeks and nose.
  • It is checked whether all the paint has dried, after which the facial features are painted on with felt-tip pens. When a child does not really like to draw, or he is not very good at it, you can glue the mouth and eyes from the same paper ropes, paint it white, and then in a natural color: reddish lips and blue eyes.
  • Further, a hat is being made from the red paper triangle.
  • On the tip of the hat we glue a small cotton ball, from which a pompom will turn out. After that, a wide strip of cotton wool is taken and glued to the lower part of the face. This is how Santa Claus's beard will turn out. To make the eyebrows and mustache, thinner small strips are taken that mimic a chic mustache and bushy eyebrows.
  • After the glue dries, the toy is ready!

You can put such a Santa Claus on a postcard, or you can make a double one and decorate a Christmas tree.

For example, I throw out the toilet paper basics, but now I won't, because with their help and colorful pieces of fleece you can make such wonderful Santa Clauses.

And here is another interesting idea for a voluminous Santa Claus and also from cardboard bases. In this way, you can make both the Snow Maiden and other fairy-tale characters.

If you are a skilled craftswoman, then weave Santa Claus from beads.

By exactly the same principle, you can make the head of a SNOWMAN, BURATINO or another funny face. There would only be a desire!

Another easy way to make a beautiful toy is to decorate a foam heart with beads. For this, a string of beads is fixed on the edge of the toy with a glue gun. Then the beads begin to stick, and they are laid strictly in one direction, forming turns from the edges to the center. The beads do not have to be the same. They can be selected in different colors and sizes. Having reached the middle of the heart, the bead thread needs to be cut and only small parts of it should be glued further, cutting off the required number of beads with scissors. After filling one side of the heart completely, you can move on to the other. At the end, a thread or ribbon is attached to hang the toy.

On the side without bends, an incision is made with scissors - a strip of half a centimeter in full length, leaving a bend of 6 centimeters. The sheet is unfolded and cut in the middle into two pieces, one of which is set aside. The sheet is fully opened and a sheet is obtained, cut on two sides into strips with a whole part untouched by scissors in the middle. Then you need to grab the middle with your fingers and twist the sheet without touching the cut edges. After the center of the sheet is completely twisted, you need to bend it to form a loop and then glue it at the base. After stringing this brush onto the rope, you can start making the next one.

Well, another great version of the garland of mint candies. where without him)

And when the fabric strips are tied to a rope with bows, you get a very flirty garland. And the remnants of old wallpaper can also be successfully used to create a New Year's garland. And even if the carved paper napkins are folded in half, put on a rope, glued together at the corners, you will also get an excellent garland. A vintage garland can be obtained by cutting hearts out of multi-colored paper and threading them with thread. Such a touching romantic garland can become not only a Christmas tree decoration, but also an attribute for Valentine's Day. This symbol of love may well provoke its appearance on the New Year. Don't believe me? And you check: invite your friend to help you decorate the Christmas tree, and, as if in passing, make a garland of hearts together. See for yourself that the pleasant consequences will not be long in coming.

And such a garland is easiest to make with a sewing machine. Sew the cardboard circles and it's ready!

The classics of the genre are bright New Year's chains.

If you decorate the most ordinary LED garland with snowflakes, then it will light up with a completely different light. Try it.

All ingenious is simple. Sometimes you should not be very zealous in decorating, but limit yourself to a minimalist star garland.

How do you like this knitted garland of snowflakes. I already feel warm when I look at her.

And this garland is also made of fabric and thread. Cut out different flowers from fleece and decorate the room.

A riot of colors. Do not even think to say that you would not regret three times before removing such a garland from the wall after the holidays.

Such DIY Christmas garlands It is most convenient to make from ordinary colored paper for manual labor, but it is better if it is double-sided. For example, you can take red, pink and white paper. The combination of these colors will create a very delicate ribbon garland. Also for its manufacture you will need: a pen, scissors, a ruler and a stapler. Strips are cut from paper, the width of which is 3 centimeters. In order for your child to participate in the work, you can draw each cut line with a ruler, and offer him to cut them. Then each strip is folded in half. The ends are bent and stapled together. The same actions are performed with each subsequent strip. Each heart connects with the previous and the next. Work continues until the desired length of the garland is obtained. And so that the hearts do not stretch while pulling the garland, you can pierce the heart at the base with a stapler paper clip. So much for your heart garland.

In addition, or rather - most often, BALLS are attached to the Christmas tree as decoration. These traditional homemade toys come in a variety of glass, paper, and foam. By the way, if a glass ball can quickly break, then a foam toy is very easily scratched, broken, crumbled. If you have such spoiled-looking balls, then they can be very quickly turned into a real precious piece of jewelry using a bobbin of small plastic beads and decorative cords - for example, milky white - for decoration.

From the tools you will need a hot glue gun, scissors and tweezers. In this way, you can not only update old foam balls, but also design not very interesting plastic ones. And the diameter of the beads and cords used can be very different. But, naturally, it is better to decorate small balls with a thin cord and a thread of small beads, and large toys can be pasted over with both large and small beads. Balls decorated in three cords or threads at the same time look even more original. First you need to weave the finished garlands in separate threads. Then the cord is taken, and its end is immersed in a foam ball using nail scissors or ordinary tweezers. A little glue is applied to the section of the ball near the place where the cord is fastened, and the tip of the string of beads is attached to it. The next part of the ball is gradually covered with glue and slowly, layer by layer, beads and a cord are laid until the entire surface is completely filled. The excess is cut off, the end of the lace is heated in foam. At the end, using a thread with a needle passed through the cord, a loop is made to hang the toy.

How do you like this ball? A very interesting thing that requires knowledge of geometry. Doing it is very informative. Try it.

First, prepare the base circles as shown.

For work, you need 20 circles of the same diameter.

Stack them sequentially. It seems to be nothing complicated.

But such a funny spinner is made from strips of paper according to the scheme.

A foam ball or a blank sponge ball can be wonderfully decorated with flowers and invisible beads.

And such a ball is easy to make, but long. To work, inflate the ball, wrap it with threads, cover it with PVA glue and wait until it dries. Then pierce the balloon and remove it.

Also, balls can be twisted from wire.

And this is how you can decorate a blank ball made of polystyrene or a sponge with sequins and invisibility.

Knitted circles can be used as toys, and then cup coasters. How is the idea?

And here is another ball with sequins. I really like him.

We often do DIY Christmas toys FROM BEADS. It really makes very cute Christmas tree decorations that can be hung all over the house, which will help create a great New Year's atmosphere, we wrote earlier. To make such adorable toys, you need red beads, ribbon and wire. So, beads are strung on the wire, and then wire toys are formed from the finished hard beads, for example, stars, hearts or Christmas trees. Special work is not required, but if you hang such toys on a Christmas tree, after having decorated them with ribbon bows, the result will be very pretty.

Returning to the same balls, you can try to make Christmas tree decorations using the decoupage technique. To do this, you need an aged glass Christmas ball, sheets from a music book, PVA glue or special for decoupage, glitter and silver paint, a special stamp with an inscription on the New Year's theme, ink, a small bell, a ribbon for tying a bow, as well as a thin string for loops. Although all these components can be replaced with what you have at hand, leaving the main thing - the ball, glue and napkins. The technique for performing the toy is very simple and does not require additional skills. First, a little white acrylic paint is laid out on the palette, then the sponge must be gently blotted into the paint and applied with whitewash on the entire surface of the ball. You need to constantly draw paint on the sponge, then you get a semblance of a snow deposit. So all the balls are harvested and left to dry completely. In the meantime, you need to prepare napkins. For this, the top layer of the napkin, the most colorful, is separated. Then PVA glue is diluted half with water and the motif is glued to the ball. Gluing starts from the central part of the motif with uniform progress towards its edges. All motives are attached in the same way. In general, everything is done in a standard way, as with any decoupage, just with a greater share of shine and embellishments.

Decorating an old ball with new beads is a great idea.

Beaded snowflakes are a very delicate decoration.

If you want to make a ball on a Christmas tree out of beads, then it is not at all necessary to be able to weave, you can just stick the beads.

Interesting balls are obtained from ... book pages or, for example, pieces of felt. So, on the scraps of the material you have chosen, the contours of the circle are indicated (you can circle any household item, for example, a cup). Using a sewing machine, sew about 10 circles together in diameter. In the absence of a typewriter, you can cope with a stapler. The line should go exactly in the middle through the centers of all circles. Staples connect the faces in a checkerboard pattern: either one joint in the middle, then two joints closer to both ends of the seam. Etc. It turns out a semblance of a book unfolded 360 degrees with oval pages fastened in two, now in the middle, now at the edges. This gives the paper toy the effect of a three-dimensional corrugated ball. At the end of the work, a loop is attached. Even such a toy can be hooked onto the Christmas tree, but it is better to additionally apply decoration with sparkles and glue. Better, of course, if there is a ready-made glitter glue.

Christmas snowflakes made of beads

A spider-web ball looks very unusual and elegant. To make it, you need a simple balloon, any thread, good glue (best of all - PVA), as well as your imagination and perseverance. Naturally, the balloon is inflated to the required size (according to the volume of the future decoration), it is well tied and lubricated with ordinary oil. Then the thread is moistened in glue, excess glue is removed from it, passing the thread through tightly squeezed fingers. Although you can make a special container into which glue is poured, and a small hole is punched in the lid. The skein is placed in a container, the tip of the thread is passed into the hole made and it is gradually pulled out, due to which it is dosed with glue. Then the whole ball is gradually entangled with this thread. In this case, you will have to stock up on remarkable patience, since the first rows of the thread can simply slide off the ball. The thread should be kept in a slight tension (slightly tense). After winding is complete, the ball must be hung to dry. But you should not dry it with a hair dryer or over a heating battery, as this can cause the balloon to burst. The thickness of the thread can be selected at your own discretion. But there is no need to rush. Let the ball dry for a day, and then you will need to carefully pierce it with a regular needle and gradually remove the frame from under the threads. Cured threads soaked in glue will hold their shape well. But that's not all: the ball can be decorated, again, at your discretion.

If you braid a large bead with beads, a beautiful toy will come out.

What kind of Christmas tree doesn't need to be decorated? The tradition of decorating a New Year's beauty has been around for many hundreds of years. In every family, decorating a Christmas tree for the New Year's holiday turns into a small holiday that is remembered for a long time by children. Each of the family members tries to decorate the tree as elegant and original as possible. You can, of course, buy toys for the tree, but handmade toys add an element of originality to the decoration of the tree.

Toys can be made from anything, but the most affordable and easy-to-process material is, of course, plain paper. Children with great pleasure will take the most active part in this work and will help you to make Christmas tree decorations. Making Christmas tree decorations out of paper Quite a lot of Christmas tree decorations can be made from paper. Let's dwell on a few.

Balloons

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!

Volumetric snowflake

Another indispensable attribute of the new year is snowflakes. They can be the simplest, cut out of a sheet of paper with an arbitrary pattern, or they can be voluminous using the origami technique. We suggest making your own hands the last version of the New Year's snowflake.

To do this, you need to cut six squares of the same size, fold each one diagonally, and then in half. Parallel incisions are made along the fold. The square unfolds, the inner tongues are rolled up and fastened together.

The outer petals are connected to the same petals of the other squares. You can attach them both with glue and with a regular stapler.

Such a voluminous snowflake can be sprinkled with sparkles, sequins and decorated like the tree itself, a wall, or assemble a whole garland.

To form such a cube, you need to cut out six identical circles from paper or squares. The edges of each element are bent so that a square is formed at the base. Then the folded edges are glued between the rest of the pieces into a box. Favorite photos from the past year are glued to the sides of the toy and a loop is inserted.
