Homemade Christmas trees. Christmas decorations with your own hands: a New Year's workshop in your home

Christmas paper toys are the easiest and most economical way to decorate your home for the holiday. Using one of the simple schemes or instructions, even a beginner in this type of creativity can make cute decorations.

Template - does not mean ugly

One of the easiest ways to make paper crafts is to cut decorations according to certain patterns or patterns. Even graceful ornaments or silhouettes simply attached to the window, the templates of which can be found in the section and printed, will become a real decoration of the interior. A similar decor is attached to the window with adhesive tape, clover or water - after the end of the holidays, there will be no traces left on the glass.

When working with templates with a large number of small details, the cutting of which will require filigree precision, it is better to use a breadboard knife, and place the template itself on a special rigid base that protects the work surface from damage.

In addition to chains, garlands can be made up of any images: repeating or united by the same style or color scheme.

Manufacturing master class

To make New Year's toys in the form of corrugated balls, you will have to work hard, but the result will exceed all expectations. Paper balloons assembled in a garland will decorate any celebration, and pink-colored balloons are perfect for. The manufacture of such balls is a very laborious and complex process that requires strict adherence to the scheme. For beginners, another step-by-step guide that does not require special training is suitable.

To create a simple garland you will need:

1 roll of corrugated paper of the desired color;
scissors;
glue.

Progress:

A part of the roll should be cut so that the width of the cut part is 3 cm. Do not unroll the roll before doing this.
From the mini-roll thus obtained, you need to unwind a small amount of paper, while twisting the strip every 3-4 cm. The integrity of the tape should be maintained, preventing it from breaking.
The paper between the places of the twists should be straightened and given a slightly convex shape.
Repeat the required number of times until the desired length of the future garland is reached. Glue or fasten the joints of large fragments with glue.

We decorate the doors

The custom of decorating your home is becoming more and more popular. On sale you can find both jewelry made from real needles, and a variety of options from artificial materials. Traditionally, a Christmas wreath is attached to the front door, which comes with some inconvenience, as commercial wreaths are quite heavy and difficult to attach to the usually metal front door, which cannot be nailed or drilled. New Year's wreaths made of paper are very light, so they can be fixed on the surface of the door even with adhesive tape.

How to do?

You can make and decorate a New Year's wreath yourself. This will require:

a sheet of double-sided green A4 paper;
pencil and ruler;
scissors;
glue;
decorative elements.

Manufacturing:

Fold the sheet in half.
From the fold, draw lines with a pencil so that the distance between them is 1.5 cm, and the 2 cm lines themselves do not reach the edge opposite the place of the fold.
Without unbending the sheet, cut through each line, starting from the fold.
Unfold the sheet and glue the edges along the long side of the sheet (its uncut parts).
Connect the ends of the resulting cylinder to each other and glue.
Decorate the wreath with beads, sequins, bows. You can also use decorations cut out of paper of other colors.

The process of creating a wreath from a cardboard plate will become very easy. Cut out the bottom of the plate, and glue the remaining rim with green paper strips of the same or different lengths.

Fabulously beautiful toys for children

A fascinating pre-New Year's activity for children will be the creation of beautiful fairy-tale figurines. One of the many layouts of paper toys should be printed, cut and glued in the places indicated on the template. If the child is still too small to cut with scissors, then adults should cut out the details of the toy in advance so that the child can glue them later.

Paper as an occasion for fantasies

The appearance on sale of a large assortment of paper for needlework with the widest choice of not only colors, but also textures, allows modern craftsmen not to limit their imagination. A huge number of techniques, as well as the availability of patterns and patterns for products for every taste, paved the way for the almost daily creation of small masterpieces that carry not only the elegance of execution, but also the warmth of their master.

A festive interior decorated with handicrafts becomes very homely and cozy. Often hand-made New Year's toys become real family heirlooms.

As children, we constantly made numerous toys and decorations for the New Year tree. Snowflakes on the windows were cut out in kindergarten. But most of us liked to make Christmas toys with our own hands. Turning ordinary cardboard, colored paper, foil, satin ribbons and nuts into something amazingly beautiful. Do not deprive yourself and your kids of this fabulous pleasure! Our small workshops with detailed instructions and step-by-step photos will help you learn New Year's magic. We hope that in our selection you will certainly find something for yourself.

DIY paper balls

From old postcards, you can make such cute New Year decorations - Christmas balls. If suddenly the hand does not rise to cut into small pieces congratulations dear to the heart, postcards can be replaced with covers of glossy magazines or notebooks, candy boxes or colored cardboard.

We will need:

postcards, thick colored paper or cardboard
compass or template
pencil
ruler
scissors
glue and brush
beautiful rope or ribbon

We make a paper ball with our own hands

On the reverse side of postcards, cardboard or thick colored paper, we draw 20 identical circles with a radius of 35 mm with a compass. Depending on the size of the postcards, the radius of the circles can be changed for optimal use of the paper. The main thing is that it should be the same for all circles. Cut out our circles. Now in each circle we need to enter an equilateral triangle, which can either be drawn manually with a ruler and a pencil in each element circle, or, in order not to suffer for a long time, we cut out a triangle template from thick cardboard and duplicate it on each circle.

Next, on each circle, carefully bend three identical valves. To make the fold even, we make it with a ruler along the sides of the previously drawn triangles, i.e. we bend the edges of the circle along the lines of the triangle inscribed in it. If the edges of the circle are not bent up, as in the figure, but inward, our paper ball will turn out without pronounced edges and will look like a classic New Year's ball, but still the faceted ball looks much more interesting.

In the first five fragments, we lubricate the side valves with glue. We glue the circles for the valves, and we will get the top of the paper ball. At the very top we make a hole with an awl, thread the ribbon and fix it with a knot. Glue the five remaining fragments in the same way. This will be the bottom of the balloon.

From the remaining 10 elements, we will make the middle of our unusual ball. We glue the individual fragments into a strip and close it into a ring. We just have to collect the ball, gluing together the top, bottom and middle.

As you can see, the original Christmas ball is outrageously easy to make. But so beautiful and elegant that it just asks for a Christmas tree! Even a child can make such a handsome man!

Small Christmas balls with fewer details will look just as impressive on a Christmas tree or in a New Year's home decor as large and complex ones, and it will take much less time to make them.

"Christmas hedgehogs" - original balls for the Christmas tree

Have you ever met New Year's hedgehogs?! Didn't it happen? Well, let's get to know each other! Luxurious New Year's balls, decorated with cut glass and silk ribbons, are so similar to funny hedgehogs dressed up glamorously in honor of the holiday. These cute creatures will help create a truly fabulous holiday atmosphere in your home. If you think that it will be difficult to make them with your own hands, you are very mistaken. We invite you to make sure once again that everything ingenious is simple.

We will need:

beads with a diameter of 5 mm from faceted glass or plastic
balls with a diameter of 4.5 cm made of foam or cotton cellulose
long tailor's pins
glass beads
silk ribbon

How to make a "Christmas hedgehog" for a Christmas tree

On a long tailor's pin, we first string one small bead, and then one faceted one. In this case, a small bead will play not only a decorative role, but will also prevent a large bead from slipping off, since its hole may be larger than the pin head. Having strung the beads on a pin, we stick it into a foam ball. Only the beaded part of the pin should remain on the surface of the ball.

We repeat the previous step: we string the beads on pins and stick them into the ball until we cover its entire surface. We leave only a small area of \u200b\u200bthe ball for fastening the tape free. We tie the ribbon with a neat little bow, cut off the ends, “sit down” the knot of the bow on a pin and attach it to the ball. You can put a hedgehog on a Christmas tree!

New Year's handmade pasta toys

Just look what wonderful Christmas decorations you can make from the most ordinary pasta! To create this beauty with our own hands, we need raw pasta, glue and paint for coloring products. For New Year's pasta creativity, it is better to take shells, spirals, bows, stars, even tubes with an oblique cut, volutes and other fantasy pasta.

As a glue, a hot glue gun is perfect, which is very convenient and fast to work with. For greater solemnity, ready-made pasta Christmas decorations can be decorated with sparkles, beads, sequins, rhinestones, glitters. For coloring, a spray from a can or acrylic paint is suitable. You can choose any colors, but it is the New Year's range that will look more enchanting: golden, silver, snow-white, bluish.

How to make Christmas decorations from pasta

We pour dry raw pasta on the table and make up a composition from them that we would like to see on our Christmas tree. What could it be?! Yes, anything! Snowflake beauties and New Year's stars of the most amazing shapes, figures of little men and angels, animals and fairy-tale characters. Having finally decided on the design, we sequentially connect the pasta to each other using a glue gun. We wait until the glue is completely dry, hardens and seizes, and then proceed to painting the products.

Working with acrylic paints can be safely entrusted to a child. Give him brushes, paint and let him paint! If you use paint from a spray can, it is better to take the composition outside or, say, onto a balcony. Be sure to lay down newspaper or oilcloth to protect the table and walls from paint. Immediately after applying the paint, the craft can be sprinkled with sparkles or, when the paint dries, the toy can be additionally coated with varnish or transparent glue with sparkles. These are inexpensive and very beautiful decorations you can make for the New Year!

DIY painted Christmas toys

To beautifully paint Christmas balls, it is not at all necessary to be an artist. Here is such a simple, but unusually touching and very pretty winter landscape that is easy to create on a Christmas ball, even if you are holding a brush for the first time! To do this, we need white and red acrylic paint and the already mentioned brush, and preferably two - thick and thin. We will work in stages. First of all, with white acrylic paint, we will depict a snow cover on the ground. To do this, paint the bottom of the toy with a double layer. The second coat of paint is applied after the first has completely dried! When the bottom is dry, with a small round brush, carefully draw white trees of different sizes. Let the paint dry again. Then we make a few small strokes on top of the trees with red acrylic paint - these will be our bullfinches. When the bullfinches dry, we create the effect of falling snow: with the tip of a thin brush, we put small white dots all over the ball. Charming!

You need to prepare scissors, glue, several sets of colored paper for craft blanks, optionally choose beautiful beads, beads, rhinestones, sparkles, colored ribbons. Simple DIY paper Christmas decorations are interesting and relevant.

simple garlands

The simplest Christmas garland is a chain. For her, paper of different colors is chosen to alternate the links with each other. They cut blanks of any length and thickness, then glue all the strips - first they make the first link, thread a paper strip into it, glue it again and repeat the steps until a garland of the desired length is obtained.

Another interesting decoration option is a chain of colored hearts, and it is much easier to connect the elements with a stapler. By analogy with the previous master class, the required number of narrow strips are cut from colored paper. They take the first two strips, fasten them with a stapler, turn them inside out (as if opening them), connect the two free edges, add two new strips to them, and then fix them with a bracket. It turns out an unusual decoration, looks elegant in the decor of the room.

A more complex decoration is a voluminous garland made up of multi-colored paper balls. Additionally, to make crafts, you need a sewing machine, but if you don’t have one, you can do the work manually.

How to make a paper balloon garland:

Cut out 6 circles of the same size from colored paper in different colors.
Prepare several sets of circles along the length of the garland.
Stitch a stack of blanks on a typewriter, then the next and to the end.
Carefully wrap the fragments at the seam, forming bright balls.

For crafts, you can take wrinkled or non-uniform paper - the craft will turn out more fun. Garlands are hung from the diagonal corners of the room, they decorate the Christmas tree, walls, and ceiling.

Garland of flags

A popular Christmas decoration for the home is a garland of colorful multi-colored paper flags. On colored paper, draw the shape of a flag with a fold line in the middle and cut it out. It should be a two-sided element. In the same way, flags of a different color are prepared. Each flag is opened, glue is applied to the fold line and a strong thread is glued until the required number of paper parts for the garland is collected.

Alternatively, the flags can be made triangular by gluing the free corners of the products. Sometimes patches of colored fabric are used for such decoration. After the New Year, you can hang garlands with flags to decorate a children's holiday.

Christmas trees

What is the New Year without a Christmas tree? You can decorate the festive beauty with your own colored paper crafts. To make a three-dimensional hanging decoration, you need to take paper, scissors, cardboard, glue and tape.

We make a Christmas tree in this order:

1. Cut multi-colored narrow identical strips and make a paper cone.

2. Glue the edges of each strip like a loop.

3. Glue the blanks to the cone starting from the bottom with adhesive tape or glue.

4. Decorate the top of the Christmas tree and loops with any decor, you can also hang decoration on the Christmas tree.

As an option, an interesting garland is assembled from paper Christmas trees - the figures are sewn to a bright ribbon or fixed above and below (chaotically) on a colored cord.

Christmas balls

Balls are one of the most popular Christmas decorations. Colorful, bright, shiny toys make the Christmas tree more beautiful and more fun. Christmas balls can be made from colored paper.

From paper strips

To make a simple ball, cut out thin paper strips (at least 18 pieces, more stripes, a more beautiful toy) and two small circles. A large bead is selected, a thread is inserted into it, and both ends of the thread are threaded into the eye of the needle.

After that, a paper circle and all prepared strips are strung on a needle over one edge. The next step is to string the second edge of each strip, the second circle and one more bead in order, bring out the loop. If the thread is loosened, a beautiful ball-shaped toy is obtained, it can be additionally decorated.

From circles

Wicker paper balls

You can use ready-made schemes for Christmas decorations to make balls and make them out of paper with your own hands or weave complex toys. Curly stripes and a small circle are cut out according to the templates. Lay out the details in the shape of a flower, glue a circle in the center. Next, the strips need to be woven like a pigtail of many strands.

So that the structure does not fall apart, and it is convenient to work, the strips are fixed with ordinary clothespins. By the end of the weaving, a ball will form, the edges of the curly strips are again fastened with a circle and a loop of shiny thread is threaded.

Striped lantern

To make a beautiful toy, you need to cut many thin strips of colored paper - all the details of the decoration should be the same in size, approximately 15 cm long. The strips are folded edge to edge, each piece is pierced in this place with a needle, pulling a cord or thread through them.

The free edge of the lace is pulled through the hole from the other edge of the strip and pulled lightly to form an arc - an elongated loop. The upper part of the flashlight (where the edges of the strips) is glued with a thin strip of paper in a circle, and the rounded loops will hang freely, forming a pear-shaped flashlight from thin strips.

The New Year is unthinkable without the main characters of the holiday - Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden. It is quite simple to make them using blue (blue), red, white, yellow colored paper to cut out the elements of New Year's figurines on your own.

A circle is cut out of blue paper for the Snow Maiden, and from red paper for Santa Claus. The circles are cut to the middle, folded into a cone and glued together, getting the bases of the figures. Separately, a flat kokoshnik is cut out for the Snow Maiden, small cuts are made on the cone and the resulting element is inserted into them. Previously, the face of the figurine, drawn on a white oval, is glued onto the kokoshnik, and a yellow braid is attached to the back. For greater realism, you can make small cone arms, decorate the bottom of the Snow Maiden's coat with white fringe.

Santa Claus is painted a face, glued to the base cone. Then cut out a small red cone-cap. A mandatory element of decoration is a thick beard; if desired, you can make a bag with gifts.

To make the figures of the main New Year's characters more durable and voluminous, you can use colored cardboard instead of paper. To make a fringe or a beard, white paper is cut into thin strips, each strip is wound around a pen or pencil - it will turn out voluminous. You can decorate ready-made figures at your discretion with snowflakes, stars, pieces of cotton wool.

New Year's wreath

In decorations for the New Year holidays, a wreath is used, symbolizing prosperity, longevity, hope and happiness. The wreath serves as a kind of amulet of the family hearth from various troubles. Traditionally, the decoration is hung over the front door. To make a very simple colored paper wreath, you need more green sheets. The child must be involved in the creative process.

Master class on making New Year's door decor:

Choose a large plate, circle its outlines on a sheet of colored cardboard (the wreath will turn out stronger) - this is the base.
In the center of a large circle, a smaller circle is cut out under the saucer, as a result, a wreath ring resembling a donut is obtained.
On green paper, they circle the child’s palms with a pencil and cut out many fragments - the more, the prettier the decoration.
"Palms" are glued onto the ring, partially overlapping each other. It's not scary if it turns out randomly - it's more interesting.
Bright decorations are glued on top of the "palms" - bells, bows, ribbons.

Volumetric paper decorations (master classes)

New Year's decor always looks more interesting if the decorations are voluminous. Making them is more difficult than flat toys, snowflakes or garlands, but everyone can do it. For creativity, paper of different colors, additional decor, bright ribbons, laces, shiny threads are used.

Volumetric crafts - stars, snowflakes, balls, garlands - are hung on a Christmas tree or on the ceiling. Having shown a little imagination and patience, you can create original toys, elegant and voluminous Christmas decorations with your own hands from paper.

Volumetric pointed balls

An interesting decoration made of white paper is quite simple. To make crafts, you need sheets, glue, a pencil, scissors, a small saucer, a coin, beads (rhinestones, sparkles), fishing line.

How to make balls:

Attach the saucer to the paper, circle 4 blanks.
Draw the outline of a coin in the center of each circle.
Cut out paper circles (do not touch the middle yet).
On each circle, draw eight lines with a pencil, not reaching the central circle.
Insert a pencil into each sector, wrap the edges, glue.
For each ball you need 4 blanks, they are allowed to dry.
The elements are connected by the inner sides, a hole is made with a needle, and a fishing line is pulled through. The original Christmas decoration looks beautiful on the Christmas tree and in a garland.

3D star

A popular toy for the Christmas tree is a pointed star. It crowns the top of the tree, gives the decoration a complete look. To make the product look more realistic, you can make a three-dimensional 3D star out of colored paper.

Completing of the work:

Two identical squares are cut out - the size and color are arbitrary.
The blanks are folded in half twice, two more times diagonally.
A fragment of the toy is unfolded - the fold lines are clearly visible.
Each corner is wrapped inward to the fold (like a children's airplane).
The edges of the corners are glued according to the principle of paper bags for volume.
The second fragment of the toy is performed similarly.
Connect the blanks with the inner part to each other crosswise, glue.

It turns out a voluminous star with pointed rays. A ribbon or string is attached to it and a toy is hung on a Christmas tree. To simplify the work, the loop can be laid between the fragments of the star before gluing.

In the video: a voluminous star made of paper.

Volumetric snowflakes

White snowflakes are used to decorate windows, they decorate the area near the fireplace. If you stretch a silver thread through the products, you can hang garlands of snowflakes in the room. New Year's decorations made of white paper look interesting when snowflakes are of different sizes with unequal patterns. To make snowflakes with a voluminous middle, you will need white paper, a pencil, and scissors.

Operating procedure:

An A4 sheet is folded in half, cut into 2 parts.
Each blank is folded diagonally, the excess is cut off.
The resulting squares are again folded in half and diagonally.
The core of the snowflake is made from blanks by making two cuts.
Cuts are made from edge to corner, without cutting the workpiece to the end.
A figured cut is made in the upper part to make petals.
The product is unfolded, the inner petals are glued to the center.

Similarly, perform the second part of the snowflake. After that, the parts are glued together crosswise. The result will be a two-sided volumetric snowfield, on one side and on the other side there is a flower in the center.

Christmas decorations made of cardboard (master classes)

Cardboard is often used to make toys and Christmas decorations. Thick paper holds its shape well, allows you to make beautiful three-dimensional figures, four-sided Christmas trees, cones for making Santa Claus and Snow Maiden are ideally made from cardboard.

volumetric balls

Decorating a Christmas tree is not complete without decorations in the form of balls. Large and small, plain and multi-colored toys are hung on a tree in a chaotic manner.

Volumetric balls made of colored cardboard or colored paper and white cardboard look interesting. They are easy and quick to make:

Circles of the same size are cut out of thick colored paper - 20 pieces, a radius of 3.5 cm.
Separately, an equilateral triangle template is made so that it is clearly inscribed in a circle.
A triangle is circled on the inside of the blanks, its sides will be the place where the circles are folded.
Under the ruler, carefully fold on each mug, wrapping the paper on the front side.
Five fragments are taken, the resulting valves of the circles are smeared with glue, the blanks are connected - the top of the ball.
A hole is made with an awl, a lace is inserted into it, the bottom is made from 5 other blanks in the same way, but without a lace.
Of the ten remaining blanks, glue the valve strip to the valve, close the ring, connect the top, bottom and middle of the ball.

For the manufacture of volumetric balls, you can use old postcards or colored cardboard. Toys are decorated with small decor, sprinkled with sparkles, chopped rain.

Cardboard fir trees

A variant of a New Year's decoration or a toy is a Christmas tree made of colored cardboard. On a dense sheet, they draw the most ordinary Christmas tree, trying to maintain the symmetry of the spruce paws. According to this blank, a second similar part is made, the Christmas tree is bent vertically, the blanks are glued together and decorated with small circles of colored paper, stars, beads, rhinestones, beads.

In order not to glue the figures, you can make cuts (cut one blank from the top to the middle along the fold line, and the second from the bottom to the center) and insert the parts into each other. Due to the density of the cardboard, the figurines will not fall apart.

How to decorate a Christmas tree with paper decorations

To make the Christmas tree, decorated with your own crafts, look beautiful, you need to properly hang paper toys and decorations. There are several options for placing jewelry - in a pyramid, in a spiral, vertically or horizontally. Each method is interesting, you need to pay attention to the shape, size and color of homemade paper toys.

New Year's beauty design options:

The top of the spruce is decorated with a voluminous star of a golden hue - the color of the Earth Dog.

In the coming year of the Dog, spruce is decorated with medium-sized figurines of restrained colors. Especially relevant is the use of jewelry made from natural materials - paper, wood, burlap, cones and twigs.

In the central part of the Christmas tree, you can place a dog figurine to attract good luck and prosperity.

Use garlands of golden, brown, yellow, green, red, purple, beige.

Paper beads, chains, flags connected in a garland are hung in one direction - horizontally, spirally, vertically, from top to bottom.

In a chaotic manner, medium-sized balls cling to a tree; toys can be the same or different.

The decor is complemented with figures of Santa Claus, the Snow Maiden, angels, and several voluminous snowflakes are pinpointed.

Before decorating the spruce with paper toys and crafts, a garland with light bulbs is hung on the tree. You can use a little shiny rain or complement the design with a fluffy “snowball”.

Spruce is decorated to your liking, but in the coming year, decor should be chosen natural, restrained, in brown colors (all shades), with unobtrusive bright accents - a few red bows, burgundy bells, paper cones decorated with beads. Then 2019 will surely bring good luck and prosperity to the house.

Christmas toys from light bulbs

You can make a very beautiful decor for the Christmas tree with your own hands for the New Year 2020 from ordinary burned out light bulbs. A variety of such toys is striking in its unusualness and bright decorative appearance. Of course, it will take some time to make them, but believe me, it's worth it. For this creative work, you will also need a number of auxiliary materials, such as:

light bulb (burnt out or new);
ethyl alcohol (for degreasing the surface of the light bulb);
acrylic primer;
foam sponge;
glue for decoupage;
New Year's napkin;
brushes;
contour glitter of different colors;
sandpaper;
silk ribbon or thread.

Progress:

Before proceeding with the design of the light bulb, it is necessary to treat it with ethyl alcohol in order to degrease its surface and remove any contaminants.
After processing the light bulb, we proceed to prime the surface with any acrylic primer, which is applied in a thin layer using a small foam sponge. If you use a brush in this work, then it will leave stains, which is not desirable in further decoration. When the priming process is completed, place the light bulb on some small jar, for example, from under vitamins, and let it dry thoroughly.
After that, cover this product with a thin layer of acrylic paint, including the plinth. For everything to be thoroughly fixed, it is necessary to dry for 30 minutes.
In the meantime, it is worth deciding on the future pattern. You can simply paint the toy, making various New Year's patterns, bright drawings on it, or, through decoupage, make a festive decoration. To do this, we will use a New Year's napkin, from which we will take the inscriptions we like, pictures, tearing them off with our hands and attaching fragments to the light bulb using decoupage glue.
We carefully examine the dried coating so that no bubbles and folds form. If this happens, then take sandpaper and grind all the bumps, eliminating all kinds of defects.
After careful processing, we proceed to create an appropriate background with our own hands, choosing a winter theme or other drawings that are relevant in this case.
In order for the future Christmas tree toy to look as elegant and colorful as possible for the New Year 2020, you should use some kind of multi-color glitter, decorating the contours of the existing inscriptions with it. After it dries, the decorated light bulb will acquire a delicate iridescent sheen.
Using the same contour glitter, you can add dot patterns, placing them over the entire surface of the light bulb, draw snowflakes of different shapes and sizes.
At the end of the painting process, we open the product with several layers of glossy acrylic varnish, in order to avoid damage to the drawings you have applied.
We complete the dried-out light bulb by attaching a silk ribbon to the base for further hanging it on the Christmas tree. We fasten the ends with hot glue so that bulky knots are not visible. If desired, you can also use a regular thread, which we wrap around the base and fix with acrylic varnish.

Such a handmade Christmas tree toy for the New Year 2020 will perfectly complement your room interior, making it unique and fabulous.

In order for you to be able to understand this creative process very easily, we have selected an interesting video for you, after watching it, you will see what a miracle - jewelry is born in the magical hands of the author.

Christmas decorations from cones

It is very convenient to work with such natural material. From cones, you can make very beautiful Christmas tree crafts for the New Year 2020 with your own hands. If you need to open a cone for work, hold it over boiling water for several minutes. She should straighten her scales, and if you want her to remain unopened, then sprinkle the bump with hairspray. The easiest way to make a New Year's toy from this material is to decorate the cone with "hoarfrost" or "snow". For "hoarfrost" you will need ordinary kitchen salt and water. Boil the water, put a large amount of salt in it and stir well. In such a solution, you need to lower a spruce twig or cone, hold for a few seconds, and then remove and leave to dry for a while. As the branches dry out, they will become covered with "hoarfrost". "Snow" on cones can be made from ordinary foam. Grate it. Spread a cone, twig or any other New Year's decoration with glue, and carefully pour the prepared foam on top.

Asterisk from cones

cones of different sizes and shapes;
strong wire;
multi-colored ribbons;
pliers.

Progress:

The main thing that needs to be done at the beginning of this work is a metal base, consisting of small iron rods, on which our decoration will be attached. We connect five strips of wire of the same size in the center, bending over each other. In the course of work, a five-pointed star layout is obtained. In order for our toy to be able to show off on the Christmas tree for the New Year 2020, you should make an eyelet on one of the metal twigs and then stretch a ribbon through it.
After the preparatory work done, it is worth strung the existing cones on the twigs of the five-pointed layout, alternating, if desired, small ones with large ones. That's it!

A do-it-yourself star made of cones can be of different shapes and sizes. It all depends on how large you build a metal layout. If, for example, this product is made as a decor for a class in a school or a group in a kindergarten, then the size, of course, plays an important role. The larger the toy, the more solid and chic it will look both on the windows and on the ceiling.

It should be of a sufficiently dense consistency and resemble plasticine or clay in its appearance. From this material, you need to make our New Year's Christmas decor. Such a dough quickly hardens, so you can not hesitate with work. To connect pieces of a future toy made of this material, use plain water. To do this, dip the fragments of the craft a little in the liquid, attach to each other and hold for a few seconds. The finished figure must be left until completely solidified. When the shape of the workpiece is solid, you can start decorating. Best of all, ordinary gouache falls on salt dough. Paint the figurine as you wish and leave it in the room until it dries completely.

Christmas ball - gossamer

If you still don’t know how to make Christmas tree decorations with your own hands, and the New Year 2020 is just around the corner, then we advise you to build a ball - a cobweb from threads and an ordinary ball. This toy is made at home quite easily and simply, without requiring any extra financial costs and efforts. It just takes patience and perseverance.

For manufacturing you will need:

air balloons;
yarn (of any quality and type);
PVA glue;
scissors;

any deep container.

Progress:

We take the balloons and inflate them to the desired size and tie them with threads.
We dilute PVA glue with water in a ratio of 3: 1 in a deep container and, having unwound the required amount of yarn, dip it into the resulting adhesive solution, leaving it for 5 minutes.
Before starting work, we smear the ball with petroleum jelly, and then we wind our yarn pulled out of the adhesive solution on it, gradually increasing the density. The ball should look like a kind of cocoon in its appearance.
At the end of this work, fasten the thread to the finished product with PVA glue so that it does not unwind. Let dry for a day or more.
After the required time has elapsed, we untie the ball so that it deflates, and carefully remove it from the filament cocoon.
We take the rope you like and tie it on the resulting New Year's toy as a mount on the Christmas tree. We decorate to your taste: rhinestones, beads, decorative stones, bows and other decorative elements.

House of beads

A flat beaded house is the easiest weaving option that is suitable for beginners. It takes a little time to make this Christmas tree craft for the New Year 2020. You just have to be patient and you will have a chic toy in your hands.

To work you need:

beads of different colors;
thin wire;
satin ribbon.

Progress:

It is worth starting weaving from the pipe of the house. To do this, you need to take a thin wire, eighty centimeters in size and fix three beads of your chosen color in the middle.
Next, you should string three more beads on the right side of the wire, and with the left we pass into the beads in the second row in the opposite direction. After that, the weaving process is pulled together.
Further weaving goes to the roof of the house, which starts from the third line. We repeat the previous steps and string on the tip on the right side - eight, on the left - six beads.
The fourth line consists of eighteen elements. The left wire passes through eighteen beads in the opposite direction, and the next fifth line is formed, like the fourth of twenty beads. Sixth row - twenty-two beads.
The walls of the house are created by the seventh and eighth rows. To do this, use beads of a single color, the number of which should be twenty units.
Window and door openings are created from the ninth to the eighteenth rows with twenty beads each. The color of the beads can be selected according to the proposed scheme, which will be presented to you just below, or at your discretion.
We finish the work by twisting the wire along the borders of the craft into two lines, not forgetting to attach a satin ribbon. Ready!
