On the eve of the New Year, handmade children's items become especially popular. Craftswomen especially often create New Year's interior decor with their own hands - figurines, garlands, streamers, wreaths and, of course, New Year's toys.

Paper has always been and remains one of the simplest and most economical materials. Fortunately, today there is a sufficient selection of this goodness in stores for children's creativity. But few people know that for crafts you can use not only purchased colored paper, but also quite rarely used paper waste, for example, old magazines and books, music notebooks and ordinary office sheets for the printer.

Handicrafts also value crepe, packaging, velvet, corrugated and scrap paper, wallpaper remnants, toilet paper rolls, paper baking tins, disposable napkins and paper plates. You can’t even imagine what the imagination of a creative person is capable of and what masterpieces are created.

Paper ball for Christmas tree:

To make such a stunning three-dimensional ball for the Christmas tree, you will need the following materials and tools:

• Thick paper for 16 circles with a diameter of 6 cm;
• Scissors;
• Pencil;
• Glue stick;
• A sheet of paper as a template;
• Needle and thread.

From thick paper we cut out 16 circles with a diameter of 6 cm (you can use a glass as a template). Each circle must be folded in half, then in half again.

On a sheet of paper we draw 5 lines at the same distance from each other - 1.5 cm. We will lay out our blanks on this sheet to make it easier to glue. The middle line marks the middle of our circles. Lay out the first circle and apply glue between strips 1 and 2 and between strips 4 and 5. Glue another circle on top. Now we will glue the next circle in the middle. We alternate glue strips until we glue 8 circles - this is half the toy. Repeat the same for the next 8 laps.

To make it easier to thread the thread later, we pierce a hole with a thick needle, as shown in the figure. It is necessary to glue the two resulting blanks together - we do this using adhesive tape. Now we thread the thread and the paper Christmas tree toy is ready!

The next craft is a three-dimensional ball for decorating a Christmas tree, made from ordinary white office paper.

You can use any thick paper. The toy is created according to the following scheme (it may be a little difficult for children; adult help will be needed). You will also need glue and a hole punch:

Very simple three-dimensional Christmas tree decorations are made from cardboard and wrapping paper (colored). You can also use leftover wallpaper. Using a glass, cut out 4 blank circles from cardboard and paper. We glue the paper on top of the cardboard to make the parts denser. Glue all 4 circles together as shown in the picture. Before gluing the last circle, we attach a ribbon inside for hanging on the Christmas tree.

Paper muffin tins are excellent preparations for Christmas tree decorations. Just fold each mold 4 times and get one tier of Christmas tree - you need 3-4 of these. It would be good if the molds were of different colors. All that remains is to attach the ribbon on top - and the beautiful Christmas tree toy is ready!

Another idea for a New Year's paper toy is a Christmas tree from an old book (you can use a music notebook). The sheets are cut in a semicircle and folded like an accordion:

These simple Christmas decorations are made from strips of colored or wrapping paper:

You can make unusual Christmas tree balls from paper or cardboard by printing and cutting out several templates:

The elements are glued together in the shape of a “sun” - you will need two of them - in different colors. A circle is glued in the center. Then, placing both suns on top of each other, the ends of the rays are intertwined with each other - until the end, until you get a ball. From above, all ends are attached to each other and a circle is glued. All that remains is to secure the tape on which the ball will be held.

Very interesting paper toys for the Christmas tree are made from modular elements made using the origami technique. For this purpose, you can use thick printer paper, packaging cardboard or gift paper:

A simple Christmas tree decoration can also be made from a regular toilet roll. To work, you need several of these bushings, glue, scissors and decorative elements (sparkles, paints, beads, rhinestones). The bushings are slightly compressed and cut into oblong elements 1-1.5 cm wide. Then a flower is assembled from these elements and decorated as desired.

Making a Christmas tree - hanging for a ball Materials needed to create a Christmas tree: - cotton fabric for patchwork; - binding cardboard 1 mm thick; - gold (or other) cord; - a piece of paper for scrapbooking; - grommet; - ready-made decorations (artificial cones, berries, fir branches and other decor); - Christmas ball; - a sheet of office paper; - PVA glue (for carpentry); - second glue; - hot glue. Tools: - metal ruler; - construction knife; - pencil; - brush for PVA glue; - glue gun for hot glue; - office clips; - scissors; - hole punch; - eyelet installer or equipment for installing eyelets and a hammer; - Printer. You can use my template by printing it on an A4 sheet. The Christmas tree according to this pattern will be about 22 cm high. Cardboard 1 mm thick will be quite enough. Thicker cardboard is more difficult to cut along curved lines, especially if you are new to this process. A short digression about binding cardboard and tools for cutting it. Cardboard comes in different thicknesses - from 0.5 to 5 mm, approximately. It should be cut with a large knife (model knife, construction knife) - along straight lines along a metal ruler, along curved lines by hand. You need to cut the binding cardboard gradually, running the knife along the same line over and over again, trying to keep the blade perpendicular to the cutting plane. For cardboard 1 mm thick, two passes of the knife are usually sufficient. There is no need to try to cut through the cardboard in one movement - it is difficult and there is no point in putting so much strain on your hand. To ensure that the template did not move during cutting, I applied PVA glue in several places on the tree and stand, and glued the template to the cardboard. Then it can be removed painlessly. I will share my cutting algorithm. Perhaps you will find your own course of action. To begin with, I cut the branches of the Christmas tree from the inner corners to the outer ones along their upper borders. I brought the cutting line along the bottom branch to the edge of the cardboard. Then I cut through the lower borders of the branches, and brought the cutting line from the top branch, along the crown, to the edge of the cardboard. And I removed the extra corner. Then I cut out the bottom of the tree. I cut the straight lines of the trunk using a ruler and finally cut out the left side of the tree. The direction of the cutting lines is indicated in the photo. I rounded the tips of the branches and the top of the head with large sharp scissors. I removed the template from the Christmas tree blank and traced the blank with a pen on another piece of cardboard. The photo shows that there are small traces of paper left from the template, but they won’t bother me at all. I will cover this part of the tree with fabric on the other side, and traces of paper will hide inside the tree. I cut out another one just like the first tree. Then I cut out the oval part of the stand using the template. I didn’t cut a hole in it, but just marked it with a knife - I’ll cut it out later, after trying on the Christmas tree covered with fabric in place. I transferred the stand part onto cardboard and cut out two more similar ovals. I applied PVA glue to the tree and spread it with a brush. The layer of glue should be thin so that it does not bleed through the fabric, and uniform so that there are no un-glued areas that can turn into bubbles. I glued the Christmas trees to the fabric and cut them out with allowances of 5-10 mm. Please note that the trees should be glued to the fabric in a mirror image of each other. I cut the allowances into strips, not reaching the cardboard by 1 mm (i.e., the thickness of the cardboard). In sharp corners between the branches of the tree, I made sure to make a cut right into the corner. I did not cut any allowances around the barrel. I turned all the allowances under and glued them on the wrong side, except for the bottom one - at the base of the trunk. I left free “tails” there. I applied instant glue around the perimeter of one of the trees, closer to the edge, and on the plane of the cardboard. I folded the trees inside out to each other and pressed them tightly. Secondary glue works precisely at the moment of compression, and the quality of gluing depends primarily on the compression force, and only then on the time of exposure. I pressed down the places where the allowances were the thickest (at the ends of the branches and at the top of the tree) with paper clips, having previously placed pieces of cardboard under them so that there would be no pressed marks left on the fabric. Using a hole puncher, I made a hole in the top left branch of the tree. And installed a grommet in the hole. If you do not have a special tool for installing eyelets, you can take your Christmas tree to some studio or shoe repair shop. Applying a thin thread of instant glue to the joint of the tree parts, I glued a gold cord around the perimeter of my tree. I tried the finished tree on the stand to determine the required length of the slot. And in two oval blanks I made slits of the required size. The blanks were glued together to form a stand 2 mm thick. Of course, you could immediately take 2 mm thick cardboard for this. But, given the oval shape, it is easier to cut out two parts from 1 mm cardboard than one from 2 mm :) Just like the Christmas trees, I covered the stand with fabric, turning all the allowances inside out. In the hole, the fabric was cut in the middle and folded inside the hole. The tree was inserted inside the slot so that the lower edge of the trunk was flush with the plane of the stand. I laid out the allowances and laces in different directions and glued them well. The remaining (third) oval part was covered with scrapbooking paper. If you wish, you can cover this part with fabric, like all the others. Or you can use felt. And I glued this oval to the stand from below using instant glue - the same way I glued two Christmas trees to each other. I secured everything in a circle with clamps for a while. And just like before, I decorated the joint of the parts with gold cord. And then I assembled a small composition at the base of the tree from an artificial spruce branch, cones, berries and a gold brocade ribbon. All this decor was attached using a glue gun with hot glue. In the end, all that remains is to hang a bright ball, and now the mood becomes New Year's, a little more beauty, miracle and magic appear in life;) Tatyana Churbakova's workshop

Good afternoon dear friends. We continue to prepare for the New Year and prepare crafts for this holiday that can easily be turned into gifts. In the last article we looked at it in general, and today we will create Christmas trees in a narrow manner. Link previous article.

Today's crafts will be made exclusively from paper. And there are so many instructions that with a normal approach, even a child can handle creating a Christmas tree. And if you don’t think it’s enough, you can try to make or create it yourself.

Well, for now we will begin to create beautiful forest beauties that will decorate your home throughout the holidays. And if you make a few pieces, you can assemble a whole fairy-tale forest on the window.

Take a regular sheet of paper. Of course, ideally it is better to take green, but white will do. We bend the sheet in two along the long side and draw the diagram shown in the photo below.

After applying the design, cut along the lines and bend as shown below. We make three blanks, and then glue them together. It turns out very beautiful and stylish. I am sure you will not see such Christmas trees anywhere else.

The following set of templates for making will allow you to create a Christmas tree in 3D format. You need to save and print the templates. We draw the diagram on a sheet of paper folded in two along the long side. And then we cut it out.

We cut out along the main contour, and where the lines go inside we only cut. We bend the cuts at the end. Here, too, it is necessary to make two identical blanks in order to glue them together at the end and get volume.

If you wish, you can cut out more than just a Christmas tree. And a Christmas tree together with a fawn or a small Christmas tree standing next to it.

If desired, any craft can be painted to make it stand out from the rest of the Christmas trees. You can also use paints that glow in the dark.

And here is proof that children really love to do their own handicrafts.

Our beauties are ready. It turned out simply gorgeous. How do you like this idea?

For the next Christmas tree, it’s better to immediately take colored paper and immediately make a green Christmas tree. The tree is created from loops and curls.

On that score, if there was something you didn’t understand from the photo, I’ll leave a video on how to create such a masterpiece.

Christmas tree using origami technique (simple diagram for children with description)

Many people have been able to fold various figures from a sheet of paper since childhood. Well, remember they made airplanes or boats, all this is a simple origami technique. And I simply cannot help but talk about the fact that you can make a Christmas tree using the origami technique.

In order to fold the Christmas tree, you need to find an old book without a thick cover or a notebook with writing on it. Found it? Now let's continue, we wrap all the pages from the left corner to the middle. And so on every one. Therefore, a book that is too thick will not work.

Then we bend all the pages into a bag again.

The lower ponytail will need to be trimmed using scissors. Try to do everything slowly and carefully.

The product is completely ready. All that remains is to straighten out all the pages and sprinkle them with glitter.

How about this idea? The Christmas tree is a little more complicated to make, but it turns out more beautiful. First, train on a white sheet, and then when you understand the whole process, you can do it on a green one.

The following beauty can be offered to children during a labor lesson in elementary school. All instructions are provided below.

How to make a three-dimensional Christmas tree from corrugated paper for the New Year 2019

As promised above, today there will be various options for making forest green beauties. And for the next craft you will need special corrugated paper or crepe paper. You will get a very beautiful Christmas tree.

You will need to find:

• cardboard or thick paper
• corrugated green staple paper
• scissors
• red paper
• various bows
• beads

Production stages:

We make a beautiful tall cone out of cardboard and cover it with green paper.

Make the strips about 10 cm long. We wrap each strip on a thin wooden stick or on a small brush to make a bud like this.

Fluff each bud and glue it to a paper cone. For a cone about 10-15 cm high, you will need to make over a hundred of these curls. To decorate the Christmas tree, you can use both ready-made and homemade bows. Christmas balls can be made from cotton balls sprinkled with glitter.

If the first option is too difficult for you, I suggest another option for making a Christmas tree from corrugated paper. It is less labor intensive.

We make the base of the Christmas tree from cardboard. You will need green paper, 18 cm wide and 2 meters long. We fold it in two along the entire length. Apply glue to the edge, leaving a free strip of 2 cm.

Glue and pull together to make a small skirt.

Next, we decorate our cone in a spiral with this blank. Don't forget to glue the strip to the cone. Finally, we decorate with improvised toys.

Or here’s another option for making a New Year’s beauty. We cut multi-colored strips 2-3 cm wide and wrap each strip around a cardboard cone to the very top.

Or you can do it like this.

New Year's beauty made of colored paper and cardboard

To make such a Christmas tree you need to make some blanks, three semicircles of different diameters. On each semicircle we make small cuts to create a fringe.

Then use scissors to twist the fringe. And we glue cones from the blanks. Well, then, on the large cone we put less on the middle cone and the smallest one. At the end we will make a beautiful star.

Here is a similar option, but in the video there is a small life hack on how to quickly and beautifully cut these circles.

But such Christmas trees will look very organic on the holiday table. All are made from the same paper circles of various shapes. By the way, if the question of preparing salads is still open to you, here are some tips.

Or this option for making Christmas trees from simple wrapping paper.

Well, if you want to make something big, beautiful and warm, you can make a big beautiful New Year's beauty. To make a large Christmas tree you need to glue together several sheets of cardboard. Roll them into a cone.

Wrap the resulting cone in beautiful wrapping paper.

After removing everything unnecessary, decorate the Christmas tree with improvised toys and a star.

You can also make a Christmas tree from cardboard, but we won’t make cones.

You will need to print this stencil.

Next, cut out the resulting stencil, apply it to sheets of cardboard, trace it, and cut it out. Fold in the middle. We make 8 identical blanks.

We'll go through the edges with a hole punch. If you have a figured hole punch, you can use it. We glue the middles together using double-sided tape.

Then we sew with white thread along the holes made. And we also cut out the star.

Finally, it is advisable to decorate with artificial snow and white sparkles.

Try making a colorful Christmas tree like this from paper circles and a wooden stick.

Or try making the same Christmas tree from candy wrappers and magazine clippings. Finally, coat the tree with glue and sprinkle with flour or sugar.

Many people notice that the older they get, the more difficult it is to re-experience that magical feeling of a fairy tale and miracle that always came to us as children on New Year's Eve.

But we're in website We are sure that the New Year's mood will not keep you waiting if you make one of these wonderful decorations for your home and Christmas tree with your own hands. Almost all of them, with the exception of two or three, do not require much time and any special materials - they can be made in half an hour from what is at hand.

Stars made of threads

Wreath made of balloons and an old hanger

In just half an hour, you can make a colorful wreath by purchasing a couple of sets of inexpensive balloons. Blogger Jennifer, the author of this article, recommends straightening out an old hanger, but if you don't have one, a piece of strong wire will do just fine.

• You will need: a couple of sets of balls (20-25 balls of different colors and sizes), a wire hanger or wire, fir branches, braid or a ready-made decoration for decorating a wreath.

Tablecloth made of snowflakes

A delicate and surprisingly festive tablecloth will be made from snowflakes, which we have gotten our hands on since childhood. You can sit down and cut out snowflakes with the whole family, and then lay them out on the table and fasten them with small pieces of tape. A wonderful solution for entertaining guests or just having lunch with the family during the holidays.

Multi-colored hats

The cutest colored hats can be made from leftover yarn, which can be used to make a garland for a Christmas tree or to decorate a wall. Or hang them on a window or chandelier at different levels. Children over five years old will also be great at making this simple decoration. See details.

• You will need: a roll of toilet paper for rings (or regular cardboard or thick paper), scissors, colorful yarn and a good mood.

Lamp “Snowy City”

For this charming lamp, you need to measure a piece of paper around the circumference of the jar with a small margin (for gluing), draw and cut out a simple city or forest landscape. Wrap it around the jar and place a candle inside.

• You will need: a jar, thick paper of any color, maybe white, any candle. Another option is to cover the top of the jar with “falling snow” using a special “snow” spray, which is sold in hobby stores.

Balloons with photos

A great idea for decorating a Christmas tree or as a gift for relatives and friends. The photo needs to be rolled into a tube so that it fits into the hole of the ball, and then straightened out with a wooden stick or tweezers. Small black and white rectangular photographs are suitable, and you can also cut the photo according to the shape of a ball or silhouette (as in the case of a cat in the snow).

• You will need: plastic or glass balls, photographs, various things to fill the ball - tinsel, garlands, coarse salt (for snow).

New Year's lamps

And this miracle is a matter of five minutes. It is enough to collect balls, fir branches, cones and put them in a transparent vase (or a cute jar) and add glowing garlands.

Embers

Glowing garlands, hidden among cones, branches and pine paws, create the effect of smoldering coals in the fireplace or a cozy fire. They even seem to be heating up. For this purpose, a basket that has been lying on the balcony for a hundred years, a nice bucket or, for example, a wicker container for small items from Ikea will be suitable. You will find everything else (except for the garland, of course) in the park.

Floating candles

A very simple decoration for the New Year's table or for a cozy evening with friends during the New Year holidays - a composition with candles floating in a vessel with water, cranberries and pine branches. You can use cones, orange slices, fresh flowers and leaves from a flower shop - whatever your imagination tells you. And as a candlestick - deep plates, vases, jars, glasses, the main thing is that they are transparent.

Snowman on the refrigerator or door

Children will definitely be delighted with this - it’s fast, fun and very simple, because even a three-year-old can handle cutting out large parts. It is enough to cut out circles, a nose and a scarf from self-adhesive paper, wrapping paper or colored cardboard and attach them to regular or double-sided tape.

Snowflakes on the window

Interesting use for a glue gun lying around. In order to glue these snowflakes to the glass, just lightly press them to the surface. For details see our video.

• You will need: a stencil with a snowflake drawn with a black marker, tracing paper (parchment, baking paper), a glue gun and a little patience.

Christmas trees-candies

You can build bright Christmas trees with your kids for a children's party or decorate a festive table with them. Cut out triangles from colored paper or cardboard, attach with tape to a toothpick and stick the resulting Christmas trees into the candies.

• You will need: Hershey's Kisses or any other truffle candies, toothpicks, tape, colored paper or cardboard with a design.

Garland with photographs and drawings

New Year, Christmas - warm, family holidays. And it will come in very handy with photographs, children's drawings, and pictures. The easiest way to secure them is with clothespins, which can be decorated with hearts or snowflakes.

Origami star

Painted spoons

Ordinary metal spoons or wooden cooking spoons are transformed into interesting New Year's decorations using acrylic paints. Kids will definitely love this idea. If you bend the handle of metal spoons, you can hang them on the Christmas tree. And wooden spoons will look great in the kitchen or in a bouquet with fir branches.

Snowman made from a sock

From unnecessary white socks you can make these funny snowmen. Cut off the toe of the sock and tie it with thread on the other side. Pour the rice into a round shape, tie it again with a thread and add more rice to form a smaller ball. Sew on the eyes and nose, make a scarf from a scrap, sew on buttons. And the cut off part will make an excellent hat.
