Give everyone you love a talisman for the New Year - monkey crafts with your own hands. And at the same time appease the furry patron. The easiest way is to artistically cut them out of colored paper and cardboard, decorating them with sparkles and tinsel. Funny monkeys can also be made from chestnuts, cones, colorful socks, buttons and beads. A handmade monkey phone case is another good option.

funny curlicues

Incredibly popular are simple paper crafts for the New Year with their own hands using the quilling technique. Volumetric compositions of pieces of paper twisted into spirals look very festive. With a little practice in this simple art, you yourself will be able to create elegant Christmas trees, colorful garlands, lush snowflakes, Christmas balls and funny animals. Everything that you do using the quilling technique can be glued onto a greeting card.

Soul messages

As a child, we enthusiastically cut out original postcards for the New Year with our own hands for relatives. Such souvenirs, complemented by warm words, always touch to the core. Come up with an unusual base for a cardboard postcard. Decorate it with patterns from everything you can find at home: colored threads and ribbons, scraps of fabric and bows, rhinestones and sparkles, artificial flowers and a herbarium.

Moments of happiness

DIY photo frame is the best craft for the New Year. The cardboard base with stand is easy to make, just think in advance how big you want the frame, and only then cut it out! And then let your imagination run wild. The frame can be decorated with pebbles, small shells, twigs, eggshells, coins, coffee beans, and even pieces of old CDs. Each time, looking at a photo in a frame, your loved ones will remember the pleasant moments of life with a smile.

Knitted miracles

Are you good at knitting or crocheting? Then you are obliged to please your loved ones with knitted crafts for the New Year with your own hands. A beautiful soft scarf or cozy mittens will warm them up more than once this winter. If time is short, crochet a cup holder, a funny animal, a keychain, or a Christmas tree ornament. It is such cute little things that fill our house with magical warmth.

felt kingdom

Interesting DIY crafts for the New Year are made from felt. With the help of ready-made patterns, which are abundant on the Internet, you can make them without much difficulty. Volumetric cones, stars, hearts and balls on colored ribbons will fit perfectly into the New Year's interior. And if you show a little zeal, it will be populated by good-natured hares, squirrels, deer, bullfinches and other fabulous animals.

Featherbed of vivid dreams

The pillow is a beautiful and practical handmade gift for the New Year. Embroider an ordinary pillowcase with green triangles, snowflakes and stars - you will get a festive pillow with Christmas trees. Intercept it with wide bright ribbons, tie a lush bow and complement it with large beads. You can also make a New Year's applique separately, and then carefully sew it to the pillowcase.

Sweet Treasures

Delight the children with a sweet gift for the New Year with your own hands. Brush a round wooden base with honey and sprinkle with cookie crumbs. On this sandy island, build a chest of chocolate bars, fastening them with melted chocolate. Attach licorice flagella handles and dust the box with dry cocoa. Fill it with golden wrappers, glittery candies and colorful lollipops and your little one will be delighted with this treasure.

Sculpture in miniature

By the way, kids can be safely called to the creative workshop. After all, gifts for the New Year with children's hands touch endlessly. Together you can make a snowman out of polymer clay. Instruct the child to fashion balls for the body, and do the small details yourself. Fasten them, add a nose with a carrot, a hat with a scarf and send to bake according to the instructions. And when the snowman cools down, draw a funny face, although eyes can also be molded from clay, and a smile and eyebrows can be gently squeezed out with a toothpick or a special knife for polymer clay.

Fairy tale inside

A snow globe is one of the most popular DIY Christmas gifts. Take a round jar with a lid and glue a small figurine to it with waterproof glue. Pour multi-colored sparkles into the jar itself, pour water and 100-150 ml of glycerin. It will create the effect of falling snow. Tighten the lid tightly, after smearing its edges with glue. This magical ball will delight you all holidays.

Christmas tree lights

Of the most seemingly useless things, you can make original gifts for the New Year with your own hands. From old light bulbs, for example, unusual Christmas decorations are obtained. Treat the glass with acetone, cover with white acrylic paint and paint with bright patterns. Decorate your art with beads, and attach a fishing line to the plinth. Among coniferous paws, such decorations look very elegant. You can also make miniature snowmen, Santa Claus or funny animals from light bulbs.

Eternal snowflakes

Snowflakes from plastic bottles are an interesting DIY Christmas decor. Cut off the bottom with a clerical knife, make incisions in the recesses and process the sharp edges with sandpaper. The result is a flower with five petals. Lubricate it inside with colorless nail polish and sprinkle with sparkles. Outside, paint the bottom with paints. Attach a loop of ribbon to the snowflake - an unusual do-it-yourself decor is ready.

Sparkling decor

Are you going to gift to friends? Bright decor will turn it into an original gift for the New Year with your own hands. Quickly coat the bottle with glue and roll thoroughly in gold powder or colorful confetti. Tie a ribbon with a bow at the top and hang a large striped candy cane from it. And on the cork you can throw a red Santa Claus cap made of felt.

The scent of the holiday

Handmade soap is a good idea for a New Year's gift with your own hands. Melt 25 g of white soap, pour in green dye and 5 drops of fir oil. Let the mass harden in a plate and cut out 2 Christmas trees with a cookie cutter. Melt another 60 g of soap, add pink dye, sparkles and pine oil. We put one Christmas tree at the bottom of the soap mold, fill it with a pink base and put the second Christmas tree. Spray the soap with alcohol and let it dry. The easiest way to make holiday soap is to melt green soap, pour it into children's Christmas tree-shaped molds and let it harden.

melodic souvenir

Do-it-yourself strumming pendant "Wind Music" is one of the best gifts for the New Year. As a base, you can take a small flower pot or a thick branch. Using white yarn, fasten all kinds of details on it: mother-of-pearl beads, decorative coins, bells, figurines of angels, door keys, etc. Their quiet melodic chime will create a feeling of celebration.

Great gift for tea lovers. "Tea connoisseurs don't drink sawdust from bags!" - you say. But who prevents good expensive tea from being packaged in envelopes?

You will need:

  • foam or thick cardboard cone;
  • round cardboard box and rice for the stump;
  • tea packed in small paper bags (the amount depends on the height and diameter of the cone);
  • glue gun;
  • star, bows and other decorations of your choice.

Cover the cone with tea bags, applying glue to the top of them. Move from bottom to top in a checkerboard pattern. It is better to use bags that contrast in color: the tree will turn out more elegant.





Glue the lid of the cardboard box to the bottom of the cone. Fill the box itself with rice so that the tree is more stable, and then attach it to the lid. If you don’t have a ready-made box of the desired diameter at hand, make it yourself. Take as a basis a tube from a roll of paper towels or glue it from cardboard according to this pattern.

Decorate the Christmas tree with bows, rhinestones and other decorative elements, and glue a star to the crown.

If you are one of those who likes to give not material things, but experiences, you will love this idea. After all, not only a delicious warming drink, but also a reason to go or invite guests.

Take beautiful glass jars and fill them with about a third of the powder for making hot chocolate or cocoa. Put in some sweets or chocolate chips. Fill the remaining space with marshmallows.






Decorate the jars to your liking. For example, put a piece of fabric under the lid, and attach a heart made from candy canes on top. The label can serve as a postcard, write your wishes on it.

The drawing will be on parchment paper. Now you need to transfer it to a candle. Cut out the image, attach it to the candle, wrap it tightly on top with another layer of parchment and direct a jet of hot air onto the resulting structure. If the picture brightened, then it was imprinted on the candle. Carefully remove the top layer of parchment and let the wax dry.

Snowmen, cups, snowflakes - any ideas will do

Move on to more complex crafts. The first one is the dream catcher.




Fix the tape at the end. Tie a thread to the rim on one side. The other - to the smaller ring, as in the next photo



Here's how it should turn out


Children's wigwam from a sheet


We will need wooden slats or bamboo sticks, a drill, scissors, twine and a tape measure



Place the slats crosswise in the shape of the letter X. Connect them with a bar and fix

Illuminated letter



Glue the pieces of plastic together. The letter must be voluminous. It can be dyed in any color. Sand before painting. Insert a light bulb into each hole on the letter

Glass ball with snow

Consider composition first. We will have a Christmas tree with snow and sparkles.

  1. glue a Christmas tree to the inside of the lid;
  2. pour sparkles and snow into a jar (these can be pieces of foam);
  3. pour water and glycerin in equal proportions;
  4. Lubricate the thread of the jar with glue and close it with a lid.

We took an ordinary small jar, inside of which there will be a Christmas tree and snow. In order for the snow to fall smoothly, you will need glycerin and distilled water.

foot mat

The rug that is placed at the entrance will be a cool gift if you make some interesting or even symbolic inscription. To do this, you only need a stencil and paint.


Take a plain rug made of dense bristles. If it is light, the lettering ink will be dark. Prepare the stencil in advance. When the paint is dry, fix the work with varnish

Knitted blanket do it yourself

A blanket or plaid made of very thick threads is a very good gift. It is also suitable for any interior, even if you do not guess with the color. Minus - the threads are expensive.

Option 1. Plaid of thick threads without knitting needles



We took 2 skeins for a small bedspread Step 1-4 - knitting steps

And don't forget the name tags:
