Content

We continue the marathon of articles dedicated to New Year's crafts. We had different articles on this topic, different variations of crafts and compositions, we offer a few more ideas. It will be crafts made of felt and salt dough, various New Year's compositions that can be taken to a matinee in kindergarten, to a holiday to school, all kinds of scrapbooking and a lot of other interesting things. So let's not beat around the bush for a long time, but immediately get down to creativity.

Felt crafts

New Year's felt crafts look very home-like, cozy, bright. The easiest New Year's option is to sew a garland of felt toys. From this material you can sew New Year's hats, boots, Christmas trees, toys. Moreover, it can be stuffed with cotton wool, that is, voluminous toys, or maybe flat and it also looks very beautiful. See what this is about:

The garland can be decorated with different ribbons, buttons, beads and decorate a nursery or crib. It is not a shame to present such a New Year's garland as a gift to a family where the baby was just born.

You can also sew individual Christmas decorations from felt and hang them on the tree.

Please note that the pattern can be any, it is not necessary to try to make blind seams, the toy can be sewn from the front side using a decorative seam and bright threads. Pieces of felt can be used to decorate toys. For 2018, you can sew figures of dogs, because the coming year is the year of an honest, intelligent, loyal, courageous and sociable dog.

Paper compositions

New Year's paper crafts are more suitable for matinees in kindergarten and school holidays. It can be anything: from paper garlands to whole flower New Year's panels made of special paper. Let's try to make a paper craft with our own hands "Herringbone". For this we need:

green sweaty paper;
scissors;
simple pencil;
PVA glue;
compass;
wire;
ruler.

To begin with, on a piece of paper, using a pencil and a compass, you need to draw the following drawing:

Now the circle needs to be cut and cut before the start of the inner circle.

Now each sector needs to be twisted into a small petal and glued.

Then the workpiece must be turned over, and a small hole must be made in its center. Next, using the wire, you need to create the following structure:

It is on this structure that we will fit our paper blanks. As you guessed, each subsequent circle should be slightly smaller than the previous one. As a result, you should have such a simple, but rather original and beautiful Christmas tree.

New Year's paper crafts are sometimes as simple as they are original. You can make up a whole composition of such crafts, use them as a decor for a New Year's children's theater, install them on the windowsill, decorating them with a small garland.

A simpler option, for example, it can be New Year's crafts for kindergarten - these are Christmas tree decorations made of paper. Create paper appliques, volumetric paper figures, postcards, garlands with the kids. We offer just a few possible New Year's options, it is not difficult to make them, so there is no point in explaining the whole process.

For some paper crafts, it is better to use colored cardboard rather than colored paper, so that the composition holds its shape for a long time.

It will be interesting and exciting for the kid, and especially easy. You can cut out all the necessary parts in advance, give the child a glue stick so that he only sticks the parts to each other. Such work will delight even the smallest.

Compositions for the New Year from foamiran

We already once told what foamiran is and how it behaves during work. Let's just remind that this material is very convenient in the creative process and very good things are obtained from it. Foamiran Christmas crafts are a cool alternative to felt or paper. You can make flat Christmas decorations for a Christmas tree, sew a garland, make voluminous flowers, you can decorate a gift with figures from this material. This new and already very fashionable material is easy to cut, stretches, retains its shape well, and can be stored for a long time.

Foamiran is used to make not only some flat figures, but also voluminous flowers, whole bouquets. In one of the articles, we told you how to create them. Therefore, if you wish, you can always make such a bouquet for a holiday.

New Year's crafts from beads

For the New Year 2018, you can make crafts from beads with your own hands. What could it be:

beaded Christmas trees;
New Year's figurines;
wicker decorations on the Christmas tree.

For example, let's start with a beaded Christmas tree. Such an elementary Christmas tree can be an excellent table decoration and a good present for guests.

You just need to twist the wire in a spiral and string the beads on it. See what happens:

A more complex New Year's version, and here you need to have the technique of weaving baubles - these are decorations for the Christmas tree braided from beads. In such products, you can use small beads of different colors.

For larger items, you can take Czech beads, it is better in quality: the same beads, even color, size.

For such crafts, you will certainly need a diagram.

Ideally, you should have such an angel:

Salt dough crafts

New Year's crafts made from salt dough are perfect for a matinee in kindergarten. They can be done together with the child, they do not take much time, do not require large expenditures, and they look decent enough.

To create New Year's crafts from the dough, we will need its recipe directly:

two glasses of flour;
1 cup table salt
glass of water.

First you need to mix salt and wheat flour, then add water and knead the dough well. If the dough crumbles in your hands, then you need to add a little water, if it is too stringy, then you need to add flour. The dough should not stick to your hands, dry too quickly and be covered with a dense crust. Sometimes a few drops of vegetable oil are added to it.

Now your main material is ready and you can sculpt figures for 2018 with your own hands. You can use confectionery forms, you can give free rein to imagination and stick on fairy-tale characters, non-existent magical animals, and so on. You don't need to decorate Christmas figures and leave them in their original form.

After molding, the dough must be dried in the oven. Therefore, if you want to use some kind of beads or any other decor, it is better to stick it after drying.

New Year's crafts can be decorated after baking, or confectionery dyes can be added directly to the dough.

Balsa wood crafts

Admit it, adults, do you collect corks from various alcoholic beverages? Do you think that someday they will come in handy, that you will make a beautiful panel or arrange a photo frame? Why not make something out of traffic jams for the upcoming New Year.

An uncomplicated option - this is a panel on a wall made of corks in the form of a herringbone. The plugs must first be cut into thin circles and attached to the wall with tape.

And you can create a whole volumetric structure from corks, just use whole corks already. They need to be stacked in rows in a checkerboard pattern, not forgetting to coat the layer with glue. You can decorate the Christmas tree with braid, twine, beads or cones. It is advisable to make the most of natural materials in order to preserve the concept.

You can make a whole New Year's wreath out of corks. Use a cardboard or foam base on which you will attach the plugs. Such New Year's crafts with their own hands add coziness to the house, remind of a pleasant time spent and the amount of alcohol drunk, with anyone.

These, of course, are not New Year's crafts for school, but for a country house it will do very well.

New year scrapbooking

But this is closer to the school version. Such a useful, interesting and stylish craft can be exchanged as a gift or sent to someone in the game "Secret Santa".

For 2018 with your own hands, you can make scrapbooking dedicated to the symbol of the year. And this is our dog, as we have already found out. It doesn't have to be a full-fledged scrapbooking, it can just be a beautiful New Year card with a few sheets.

These are postcard design options. Use craft paper and colored cardboard or felt, various ribbons, ribbons and beads.

Inside the sheets, you can also interestingly design, draw a comic strip, cut out various applications from magazines like a wish card, leave several pages for your own notes of the future owner of the album, for his desires and dreams.

Scrapbooking is a whole philosophy, a special art. In a nutshell, you can't really explain this process, so we suggest watching the video master class, as we usually suggest at the end of the article.

Christmas decoration from foamiran: candlestick (master class with photo)

In this master class, I will show and tell you how you can make a wonderful candlestick from a wine glass. Such a candlestick can be presented for the New Year to your loved ones and friends, or you can decorate your festive table.

To make a candlestick, I needed the following materials:

foamiran brown, green, blue;
scissors
sequins of different colors;
unnecessary disk;
wineglass;
acrylic lacquer;
symbol of the year;
button;
candle;
brush;
glue moment;
office paper.

Here are the basic materials we'll need.

We put the glass on office paper, so it will be easier for us to shake off the glitter and reapply it on the glass. We cover the glass with acrylic varnish, making uneven strokes with a bone. And sprinkle with dark blue sparkles. Shake off the excess. Sprinkle the glitter unevenly again.

Then sprinkle with sparkles of a different shade.

While the glass itself dries up, we also process the stem of the glass. At the beginning, we apply varnish, sprinkle with sparkles in one color, shake off the excess. Then sprinkle with the second color.

While the glass dries up, take the disc and the blue foamiran, cut out 2 circles, one to the size of the disc, to glue the disc from the back. The second is slightly larger than the 3.5 cm hole on the disk to seal the hole.

Gently apply the glue a moment to the foamiran, spread it all over the circle, let it dry a little and press it well.

We glue the small circle onto the hole in the disk with glue for the moment, as well as the large circle.

Then we glue the symbol of the year on it.

Then we varnish the entire glass in some places and sprinkle with white sparkles.

We take the button and glue it on top of the leg in a dimple. But if the button is large, like I cut it off a little or bite it off with nippers. A button so that the candle that we will place on the glass holds tightly.

This is how I glued it into the dimple on the glass.

Then we glue the glass itself. But so that everything would be like New Year's, we will make pine branches from foamiran and glue it to a disk around the glass. Here we have such a wonderful New Year's.

Christmas decoration from foamiran: pine branch with a cone (master class with photo)

We continue to make New Year's. If you are preparing gifts for children, then this version of a New Year's pine branch made of foamiran with a cone, inside which a surprise is hidden, might suit you. The idea of creating such a gift and patterns were developed by the foamiran master Elena Semanova.

Here is such a pine twig with a cone, a surprise, I propose to make today at the master class.

Required materials for the twig:

green and brown foamiran;
white oil pastel;
iron;
second glue;
brown teip tape;
scissors;
wire 1.2mm:
acrylic lacquer.
cone blanks (plastic egg).

The workpiece must open. Egg size 10 cm. * 5 cm.

Pine twig pattern from foamiran and cones with a surprise

Step-by-step master class on making a pine branch from foamiran

According to cut out two petal circles from brown foamiran with a diameter of 8 and 7 cm.

Cut out the strips to form the bump. The first strip is 2.5 cm wide and 19.5 cm long and we cut out 13 flakes on it, each 1.5 cm wide. The second strip is 3 cm * 80 cm wide and cut out 40 flakes on it. The width of each scale is 2 cm. The third strip is 3.5 cm wide. * 100 cm It also has 40 scales 2.5 cm wide.

Take white oil pastels and tint the edges of the petal circles.

We also apply tinting to the edges of the cut strips. We shade the tinting well.

Then we process the petal circles on the iron, heating the silk-wool at a temperature so that the scales rise slightly.

We also process the strips on the iron, apply them in small parts to the iron.

We take the lower part of the workpiece and fasten the stem of the cone. If you have a workpiece, like mine, then we take the wire, make a loop at the end and insert the workpiece. From the inside we glue it with foamiran and thicken the stem with paper to save the tape.

Let's start forming the cone from the top of the cone. We take a strip with small scales and cut off 6 pieces, each scale separately. And we begin to glue on the top of the workpiece, closing it.

Stepping back a little, we begin to glue a small strip, glue the scales in a checkerboard pattern, tighten the strip if necessary.

Stepping back a little, glue the next strip. We glue the scales with an overlap and in a checkerboard pattern. We cut off the excess.

This is how we glue the rest of the scales.

This is how we pasted over the top of the workpiece.

We put on the lower part of the workpiece and just above the edge we glue the scales and also overlap. Tightening the strip a little.

We glue the subsequent scales, already making a little fold, since the workpiece has begun to round out. We glue the flakes overlapping.

We take the petal circles, thread them through the stem and glue them to the base. Also by staggering the scales.

We also glue the second petal circle.

We open the cone and cover each blank separately with acrylic varnish so that our cone does not stick together. Let it dry well.

We take a strip of green foamiran 5 cm wide. The length depends on which branch you will make. I took 2 strips 5 * 70 cm.

Cut the fringe 1-1.5 mm wide.

We take wire and tape. We make a loop at the end of the wire and process it with tape.

We put on the slanting cut fringe and glue it and begin to twist the fringe around the wire, gluing it from time to time.

I processed 15 cm of wire with a fringe and secured a twig with a cone, wrapped the tape with tape.

So I made three branches and fastened them together with a tape with a tape at the place where the cone joins.

The stem was treated with brown tape and tinted with green oil pastels. Here's a twig with a cone we got. You can put any gift in the cone and give it for the new year. You can decorate the twig with snow or flock powder, as if sprinkling it with snow.

Christmas decoration from foamiran: snowflake (master class with photo)

foamiran white;
blue or light blue dry pastels, as well as wet wipes and cotton swabs;
sequins and stick;
iron;
second glue;
scissors;
acrylic glossy varnish and brush;

Step-by-step MK: How to make a snowflake from foamiran?

According to the pattern, we cut out blanks from white foamiran.

We cut holes on the workpiece making the workpiece more beautiful.

We take blue dry pastel and a damp napkin and tint the end of the workpiece, slightly going over the edge of the workpiece.

We take six petals and tint the holes on the workpiece with blue dry pastel, using cotton swabs for this.

We process all the workpieces on an iron, heating them with an iron at a wool-silk temperature. And we wrap six blanks in a small bag.

We heat the rest of the workpieces on an iron and leave to leave.

We take half-beads and decorate the blanks a little, which were formed in a small bag.

I decorated like this. You can according to your taste.

Then we glue the bags at the bottom.

And glue 6 blanks together, in the middle.

Then we glue the rest of the blanks from below, glue in a circle, not much overlap each other, and begin to glue the second row between the blanks of the first row.

Glue the bead in the middle. You can take a piece of white foamiran, cut out a circle with a diameter of 3 cm with zigzag scissors and tint the edges with blue dry pastel, iron it and glue it to the center under the bead.

We process the snowflake with acrylic varnish where we want to decorate with sparkles. Drops of glue can be used instead of acrylic.

Now our foamiran snowflake is ready. The snowflake can be glued to an elastic band or hairpin.

Also try to make your own hands the symbol of 2018 -

The material that we will be using today offers tremendous opportunities. I will show you what foamiran crafts for the new year can be designed. I hope you enjoy my collection.

What a holiday without this decoration?

For the wreath we need:

Green foamiran;
Glue;
Scissors;
Lots of shiny jewelry;
Ribbon.

We master:

Cut out the circle.
On it we create a pattern of shiny stones.
We make a bow from the ribbon. And at the same time a loop.
Idea author

You can come up with your own decor. Here I wanted to show how it works.

Flower

The photo shows all the stages of work. The craft is beautiful and unusual. Can be used to decorate a room, a door, or even as a Christmas tree decoration. The photo uses paper, but I think the craft will only get better with foamiran. There are 3 red small balloons inside the flower.

Christmas decorations

Even figures simply carved from bright dense material can already serve as a beautiful decoration for a Christmas tree. But you can also compose a composition from the figures.

We create a designer toy:

Using a curly hole punch, we cut out small flowers (it doesn't matter if you have a hole punch with a different pattern, any one is suitable for this craft).
We heat the iron; the minimum temperature is sufficient. We apply the blanks to the hot surface. They must acquire volume.
We pierce the prepared flowers with a French pin. Fasten with a pin on a foam ball.
We fix the loop by stringing it onto one of the pins with a flower.

Snowflakes will look original instead of flowers! Such toys are great gifts, they can pleasantly surprise you with their elegance.

Different toys for the Christmas tree

These bumps will be much more elegant and voluminous if they are made from foamiran

You can also make a variety of balls with applique - the pictures increase by clicking:

More templates you may need. I want to remind you that our Santa Claus has not a clown's hat, but a boyar's one without a balabon and a beard is much longer.

Fir-trees will also look harmonious from foamiran. In principle, everything that is made of felt can be made from foamiran, even better, because foamiran has two advantages - it keeps the shape that is given to it when heated or twisted, you can make prints on it. This means that the Christmas trees can be fluffier and the toys are more natural, remember how in the article about there was a cookie - a heart from foamiran. It is very easy to make, but it looks edible.

Bezel

In this model I liked the ethno-style, and the fact that even if you do not have templates, you can still make flowers and a headband with them.

We will need:

2 sheets of glitter white foamiran;
Scissors;
Nippers;
Wire;
Beads are yellow;
Four-leaf flower pattern;
Foil;
Glue;
Glue gun;
Threads;
Floristic tape;
Iron.

We master:

Cut out according to the blank template.
With the help of an iron we give them a shape.
For the bud: 1 square, 5 circles.
We also heat the petals for the bud on an iron.
We make a ball out of foil. While we bend and twist the foil, weave the thread.
Cover the circle with a small square and fix it with glue.
From above, around the circle we make out with petals.
We put 2 flower blanks together. Pull a thread with a needle through them several times. There should be "tails" on both sides.
On the front side, the tails are stamens. Dip them in glue and beads.
Using the ponytails on the wrong side, we will attach the flowers to the rim. In order not to pull the thread, and not to spoil the pattern, we apply a drop of glue from the inside at the base of the thread.
For the wreath, we need 4 wire sizes. Cut off.
We wrap with tape.
When we wrap, we insert flowers.
It remains to weave the layers together, folding them 4 times. Glue tape at the edges to tie a wreath.

You can make a different design. For example, fix flowers on a ready-made rim or make hairpins with this jasmine.

Foamiran Christmas tree

I will show you 2 options. This one is more complicated.

Cut into squares from green foamiran.
We make a fringe, making cuts on the side.
We heat all parts on the iron.
We glue the base to the cone.
We fix the squares to the cone from bottom to top.
At the top we glue the fringe from the tape.
Decorate with beads and ribbons.
Author of the idea and master class

Very nice craft for the new year.

Simple spruce

This job is for the little ones.

Crown

Princesses need a crown!

How to do it, see the video:

We cut out the crown from foamiran. Length - 15 cm. Height of teeth - 8.5; the lower level is 3.5 cm.
We glue it together.
Decorate with rhinestones, beads.
We make an elegant "skirt" from organza (1.5m by 5cm). We fold and stitch. The last seam should be light, not held together by knots, so that, by pulling, you can pull the skirt down to the desired size.
Making a bow.
We attach the base to the bottom of the crown.
We assemble the structure: we fix the skirt to the headband, hair clip or rim, and the crown on top. There is a bow on the crown.

If you remove the organza "skirt", such a crown will suit a prince too!

Piggy

If you have a universal mold, now let's try to make a cute pig.

If you only do one, the front part, you can glue the magnet on the back. Such magnets can be made not only in the shape of a pig, but also Santa Claus, etc.

The crown is cut out according to the template... Hair or braids are also patterned. Then a square is cut out and pulled over one of the halves of the ball. Now they glue and cut it all along the edge. After that, you need to glue the hair, and on top and the crown. For beauty, a small paper snowflake is glued to the crown.

The face of the Snow Maiden can be drawn with paints or a felt-tip pen. And with the help of shadows they make cheeks. Do not forget to remove excess glue parts. If a small rope is glued to the Snow Maiden's crown, then it can be attributed to Christmas tree decorations made of foamiran.

Foamiran candlestick
