Christmas crafts are easy and fast. Preparing for the New Year

A star can become a magic wand in

The star is an important attribute of Christmas. According to the Bible, she showed the Magi the way to the baby Jesus. Today, Christmas carolers carry the star with them. If your kids love this game, they will definitely need a cute glitter star. Required materials:

• flat stick or skewer
• felt fabric (preferably gold)
• needle and thread
• sequins and sequins
• scissors
• brush

Step-by-step instructions for making a Christmas star

Cut out two identical five-pointed stars from the fabric. Decorate one with sequins. Lubricate the skewer with glue and sprinkle thickly with sparkles. When it dries, glue a piece of cotton wool to the end of it, about the same size as the stars. Sew both blanks to make a three-dimensional star.

Candlestick "Night city"

The pattern for the candlestick can be cut out of paper or painted with acrylic

This craft will keep the memory of snow-covered streets twinkling in the light of lanterns. It is enough to light a candle - and the house will plunge into the atmosphere of comfort and fairy tales! To make this item you will need:

• clean jar (0.5 - 1 l)
• paper, scissors
• Printer
• black acrylic paint
• thin brushes
• white acrylic spray paint or artificial snow
• alcohol spray
• clean cloth napkin
• waste cardboard box
• small candle (preferably tea)

And measure the volume of the jar. Enlarge or reduce the size of the drawings according to it and print them on white paper. Rinse the jar thoroughly and treat the inside with alcohol to remove excess fat. Insert the template into the container as shown in the photo and secure it. You can press the template with a guitar string or fix it with tape.

Wrap the jar with a napkin in the area that you touch with your hand - so there will be no fingerprints on the glass. Using black paint and a thin brush, transfer the outlines of the street from paper to glass. When you're done, take the template out of the jar. Paint over the areas inside the drawing and add your details to it: passers-by, cars, birds, and so on.

Making Candlesticks Using Paper Template and Paint

The first tier of paint does not lie very tightly, there will certainly be gaps in the drawing. So let the acrylic dry, apply another layer and set the craft aside. When the paint is completely dry, put the can in an old box so that nothing gets dirty when spraying. Spray the top of the can with artificial snow.

There are a huge number of all kinds of jewelry that you can do it yourself, along with the children. Further, these crafts can be used to decorate any room - at home, garden, yard, etc. - or to give to others.

November 8, 2018

Good afternoon dear readers. Today the article will be completely devoted to crafts on the theme of the new year 2020. Of course, you can not bother with crafts, but go and buy your favorite toy or figurine. But it will not be as dear to you as the one you made with your own hands.

Also, the article will be very useful for those who have small children who go to elementary school or kindergarten. Since on the eve of almost any holiday in these educational institutions they often ask the kids to make something at home, and preferably in the style of the approaching holiday. And then they also hold a competition for the best craft. And of course you want your child to take at least a prize.

And doing crafts on the New Year theme is doubly pleasant, as it evokes the New Year mood. The lack of which many adults complain. We do not have such complaints in our family. Since before the holiday, our house is transformed into a fabulous decorated house from handicrafts made by hand. These are snowflakes and paper garlands and much more. In general, the introduction was a little delayed, I suggest you get down to business right away.

before you decorate your house for the new year, you need to make all sorts of decorations there. And you can also save a lot of money on this business if you use old unnecessary rubbish for making, which is a pity to throw out and have nowhere to attach.

Required:

• Tinsel
• Glue gun
• Wire
• Old CD discs 12 pcs.
• Drill with a thin drill bit or awl
• Pliers

Production stages:

From a cardboard sheet, cut out a template in the form of a pentagon with sides of 6.5 cm. We apply the template to the disk and put dots where the vertices are. These dots are for making holes in them.

We drill all the disks point by point, and then connect them with wire and pliers. The end should be a ball.

You should get something similar to this.

Next, glue the tinsel on each disc. We glue along the contour of the disk with hot glue.


Here's what happens in the end. Such a craft and a story can also be used as a New Year's souvenir.

You can also build a beautiful wreath of cones. Although wreaths are not so popular in our country. Yet if you decorate the front door with such wreaths, it will look just amazing.

You will need the following:

• Some cones
• decorative elements
• Paint and varnish in cans
• glue gun
• Wreath base

Production stages:

As a basis, you can use foam insulation for pipes or a small hoop. You can also prepare the base of papier mache.

We paint the base in the color with cones and attach the cones to the base with hot glue.

At the end, you can open the craft with varnish to add shine and decorate with decorative elements.

The wreath of cones looks quite beautiful.

Snowman made of threads and balls.

Well, who else but the very first snowman is associated with winter and the new year. You can make it quite easily, it is only important to collect all the necessary materials.

Required:

• Balloons 5-6 pcs.
• Tube of PVA glue
• Skein of white thread
• Decor elements (ribbon scarf and hat)

Production process:

We inflate the balloons with air and make them of various sizes.
One needs the largest, the other is smaller, and the third is even smaller. And two more very small, but identical. After we wrap the balls with threads in different directions and coat each new layer with glue.
When the glue dries, we pierce the balls and pull them out of their resulting shapes.
It remains to assemble the snowman using the same glue. And in the future I use my creativity to add eyes, mouth and nose to the snowman.

And also attach hands. These will be two small balls. Here's what you can do with the materials presented.

Or here's another master class on how to make a beautiful snowman out of an ordinary sock.

You will need:

• Scissors
• Super glue
• Scotch wide
• Cotton or knitted sock
• Threads
• Several buttons

Production stages:

We cut the toe just a few centimeters from the heel line. We will use the part with the heel. We tightly tie the sock with a thread and turn it inside out. This will be the base of the snowman. We tie in the part where we cut it.

And fix in this position fig. Make a few turns, and then tie the thread into a knot. Cut off the excess ends with scissors.

From a piece of fabric we make a scarf to mask the threads.

From the second piece of the sock we make a cap by folding the part of the sock several times. Apply super glue to the buttons and attach them to the snowman's body.

In order to make a face for a snowman, I use multi-colored beads. Which I also attach with glue.

Santa Claus from a disposable plate

To create a beautiful and original case of frost, you will need the following set:

• Disposable paper plate
• Scissors
• Paints
• red pompom
• Paper
• red cardboard
• eyes for toys

Production stages:

We cut the disposable plate into two parts. Cut slightly above the middle. And paint the inside in beige.

From colored cardboard, cut out a large triangle larger than the plate.

From a sheet of white paper, cut out a strip 2 cm wide and two circles. Cut one of the circles into two parts. Next, we collect the craft according to the picture.

Christmas tree made of cardboard and thread

You can create small souvenirs in the form of a Christmas tree and give them to your guests who came with you to celebrate the New Year.

You will need to cut out their corrugated cardboard to cut out such a beautiful Christmas tree. About 15-20 cm in size.

Then wrap it with thread. We fix each turn with ordinary glue or you can use hot glue. Attach a magnet to the back.

These beautiful Christmas trees can be created using this technology.

Snowflake made from ice cream sticks and buttons. It also turns out very beautiful and unusual.

To create such beauty, you will need at least 3-5, and at most 7-8 ice cream sticks. We connect them in such an asterisk. Then we decorate with buttons, which we also fasten with hot glue. At the end we fasten the rope and hang it on the Christmas tree.

You can try to glue a house and a snowman out of cardboard and glue them with cotton wool. And from a branch to make a small tree. You will get something similar to this picture.

Or try to make such a penguin from two bottoms from plastic bottles.

In the year of the pig, you can create such a funny pig. This beauty is made from socks and cotton wool. Watch the sequence and you will understand everything at once. In the same way, we made the snowman a little higher.

An excellent craft can be an ordinary Christmas tree ball only painted by you personally. Take a Christmas ball and apply plain paint on it, this will be the main background. And then color as you like.

And if there are old glass balls left, you can wipe off all the paint from them and fill them with such rubber bands. It also turns out beautifully.

Or just decorate Christmas balls.

Have you ever seen Christmas balls with a photo inside. See how it can be done.

Beautiful stars that we decorate with beads or beads will also fit perfectly into the interior of any New Year's beauty. Or maybe such an asterisk will be a beautiful addition to your New Year's outfit.

And if you show imagination, then even ordinary walnuts can become beautiful New Year's crafts or Christmas tree decorations.

Souvenirs from spruce and pine cones for the new year

Crafts made from natural material always turn out to be very beautiful and attractive. Let's start with the easy ones and work our way up to the hardest ones.

Creating a beautiful candlestick using cones and threads is very simple. You need to take not a large jar, a few cones, a natural thread and hot glue.

We tie a thread around the neck of the jar in several turns and make a beautiful bow. We glue the cones on hot glue to the thread. It turns out here is such a beauty.

We put the jar on a tray which is beautifully decorated with spruce branches and the craft is ready.

If you want to make it a little more beautiful, then you can decorate the neck of the jar with semolina, which from afar will look like snow.

It is necessary to pre-tint the semolina with chalk. Coat the neck of the jar with PVA glue and sprinkle the place that is in the glue with semolina. We tie a beautiful bow on the neck of the jar.

In the same way, you can decorate the cones. But for the cones, let's prepare something cooler. Sprinkle some glitter into the semolina. Now we coat the corner of the cone with glue and sprinkle with groats with sparkles.

You can do without semolina at all, take some golden sparkles. And then according to the familiar pattern. Glue then glitter.

Using white acrylic paint, you can make these bumps in the snow.

Add a couple of beads and a bow and you get a beautiful Christmas toy. Further, decorated cones can be combined on our candlestick.

Now I propose to make beautiful Christmas trees from large cones. You will need small pots, acrylic paints, small stars and hot glue.

We attach the cones to the pot, paint in white or green. And on top we attach a small star.

By the same principle, you can make a Christmas tree for more. We make a cone from cardboard. The height depends on the number of cones. We attach the cones to the cone with glue. We decorate with beautiful bows and beads.

And here is a box of chips that was pasted over with sweet souvenirs and it turned out to be a train.

Or here is a more difficult souvenir Santa Claus using the origami technique. How do you like this idea. If you learn how to do it, then you can offer it as a New Year's card.

You can also make such a bunny using the origami technique with the addition of an appliqué.

If you have the desire and time, you can cut and glue a beautiful wreath from paper handprints on the door or wall from the same paper. I think that you can make such a wreath using the prints of the whole family.

Try to make such an unusual Christmas ball out of colored cardboard. We cut several strips of the same length and width. Next, lay them out so that they all connect in the middle. Then we make a hole and put everything on a thread in the middle of a piece from a cocktail tube. There is a small bead at the top. Everything is simple and easy.

Have a huge amount of unnecessary newspapers accumulated at home? Then you can find a use for them. Let's make a voluminous New Year's ball for the Christmas tree from newspaper tubes. We make tubes and wind them layer by layer. Gluing each new layer. At the end, we paint with spray paints and now the Christmas tree toy is ready.

New Year's crafts from cardboard or postcards

In order to decorate the Christmas tree with unusual toys, you do not need to run around the shops in search of something that others do not have. It is enough to find thick cardboard at home (colorful magazine covers, old postcards or, in extreme cases, ordinary colored sheets from the set are suitable - the main thing is that they are double-sided), glue and scissors.

The first thing to do is cut out 8 circles of the same size (about the size of a regular glass neck, maybe a little more or less), and 2 more a little smaller. After that, the large circles are folded in half twice (to end up with a quarter). Preparations are ready. Four of them need to be glued on one small circle, four more on the other.

After that, the pockets are gently melted, and the two halves of the toy are glued together. It remains to attach a beautiful ribbon and you can hang the original cardboard ball on the Christmas tree. And if you cover it with varnish or sparkles, hardly anyone will guess where such a stylish toy came from.

japanese kanzashi crafts

The novelty of the season in the field of decoration is decorations made using the Japanese kanzashi technique. They can be of any shape - a Christmas tree, a flower, snowflakes ... separately or in a group. By the way, this is a great option not only for Christmas decorations, but also for a gift, as well as elements of a festive costume.

In their homeland, Japan, they symbolize closeness to nature. In our country, they are more like a nice souvenir than something ideologically significant. In order to make something in the style of kanzashi, you need not so much - silk ribbons and a desire!

Festive headband with snowflakes in Japanese technique

Thanks to the Japanese, anyone can give joy to little and big princesses by making a wonderful headband that resembles a snowflake. It will not only complement the corresponding costume, but will certainly become the very missing highlight for any New Year's hairstyle.

So, in order to make such a wonderful accessory you will need:

• blanks from silver, blue and white ribbons (silver should be cut into squares 2 * 2 centimeters in size, white - 5 * 5 centimeters, blue - 2.5 * 2.5 centimeters, in total at least 42 squares of each color should be obtained);
• glue gun;
• white rim (if there is a rim of a different color, then it can be easily turned into white by braiding it with a ribbon);
• scissors;
• snowflake blank measuring 3 * 3 centimeters.

So, after all the materials and blanks are ready, you can begin work.

The first thing to do is 6 round petals from white squares. They should be the largest, as they will make up the "middle" of the future flower. Then - 12 triangular petals are also white, but they will turn out to be slightly smaller in size. Next, from 12 triangular blanks (white and blue), fold six petals consisting of two colors. And finally, the final touch of the preparatory stage - 42 small, silvery petals. The edges of each blank must be singeed with a lighter so that they do not fall apart in the future. Otherwise, it may be an unpleasant surprise for the one to whom the bezel is intended.

After the petals are finished, you can wrap the snowflake with white ribbon, attach it to the rim and, finally, collect the first petals in the "flower heart". Its base will consist of 6 large white petals that need to be glued together. They should never fall apart! After that, a white-blue composition of three more (two white petals along the edges and a two-color one in the center) can be attached to each petal. And finally, every detail should be complemented by a small silver petal, which is inserted right into the center of the glossy ones. The result should be a semblance of a "fluffy" flower.

The finished composition can be decorated with sparkles, beads or something else - at your discretion. The only thing that is not recommended is to cover it with varnish, this can ruin the appearance.

In this technique and from the same ribbons, you can make not only a rim, but also beautiful snowflakes. They will be an excellent alternative to traditional Christmas decorations and even a souvenir for relatives and friends, who will certainly appreciate your originality and warmth invested in such a gift.
