How to make Christmas toys with your own hands. Homemade toys for the Christmas tree

Snowflakes are an essential part of winter and Christmas decorations! There are many ways and options for making such crafts. Today we will look at a very interesting, and most importantly, simple way to make a snowflake from knitting threads. Making such a snowflake is very easy and fast, so you can start working with the children.

To make a snowflake we need:

thread for knitting white color;
6 transparent beads;
scissors;
needle;
school notebook or book.

It is not necessary to make such a snowflake from white yarn. You can take a thread of any color. Size finished snowflake will depend on the subject on which we will wind the thread. You can take a common notebook or book and wind a white thread. The thicker we wind, the more voluminous and thicker the snowflake will be. But you don’t need to wind a lot, because in this case the pattern of the finished product will be poorly visible.

Then carefully remove the workpiece and pull it in the center with a thread of the same color, tying 2 tight knots. That is, we capture both sides of the resulting ring and tie a knot.

Now cut with scissors from both edges. We carefully stretch them with scissor blades so that the threads are then approximately the same length.

We turn the workpiece over and distribute the threads approximately equally. We need to see the center of the workpiece. We do this on both sides, forming a circle of threads. In this position, place the workpiece on a solid surface.

We divide the threads into 6 approximately identical parts. You do not need to count each thread, just distribute it in bunches by eye.

Now, stepping back a little from the center, we drag the bundle with a thread.

We do this with each bundle. Drag on the same level.

In the center, we already have a small six-pointed snowflake. Next, we will form a new tier of snowflakes. To do this, we need to divide each beam into 2 identical parts. These parts must be combined with adjacent beams.

And again we tie the resulting bundles.

To decorate our snowflake, take 6 transparent beads. We pass a piece of thread inside. You can use a needle with a wide eye for this if it goes through the hole in the bead.

We tie the bundle again. We do this with each bundle.

Now we just have to trim the brushes. We cut them with scissors.

In just a few minutes you can make a beautiful volumetric snowflake from threads for knitting.

This beautiful airy snowflake can be used as a Christmas toy to decorate the Christmas tree.

Christmas deer toy on a Christmas tree made of ice cream sticks

The next toy is in the form of a cute deer made of wooden ice cream sticks. An entertaining process and amazing results are guaranteed!

Required materials and tools:

wooden ice cream sticks;
stationery knife;
glue;
paint and brush;
decorative elements.

At the initial stage, it is necessary to prepare a paper stencil. There are two ways to do this: print from the Internet or draw with your own hands. In any case, the picture subsequently needs to be cut with scissors.

We lay out the wooden sticks close to each other and transfer the contour of the deer using the blank. A pencil is quite suitable as a tool. Its lead lies well on a wooden surface.

After the end of the laborious process, all the elements must be glued together. The result should be the basis for a Christmas tree toy.

We begin the entertaining stage of the decor with painting a faceless deer. Colors can be very different: from traditional red to bright yellow. However, you should not combine more than two types. Otherwise, decorative elements may be lost against such a background.

At the final stage, we fix the loop and decorate the base of the toy. Ribbons, buttons, beads - this is not a complete list of items that can be used to decorate a toy.

A cute handmade Christmas deer will certainly surprise friends and family with its originality. Using the described principle, you can assemble a whole hand made collection of toys in the form of Christmas trees, shoes or hearts. Creative inspiration and fantasy!

Christmas ball from a disk

Decorating a Christmas tree for the New Year - what could be more interesting? Consider in this short lesson a master class on creating a wonderful ball from a disk.

For work we need:

white and blue felt;
disk;
white cotton yarn;
glue;
decorative buttons and other embellishments.

To begin with, we will cut out snow and a blue sky from felt, the diameter of this should be equal to the diameter of the disk.

Next, we take hook No. 2 and white yarn, we start knitting the back of our decoration, it should have a large number of spaces, because thanks to them, the disk itself will be visible. Choose any pattern for this.

The diameter of the reverse side must match the diameter of the disk. Now let's start decorating the outside. Glue multi-colored buttons to the felt.

Then we take a thread and sew on beads, they will imitate snowflakes. Here's what we get.

Now you need to sew together the two parts of the product, inserting a disk in the middle. We sew and sew the ribbon on top, and we also sheathe the contour of the disk with a white ribbon.

Here is our work and ready. This decoration can be hung on any Christmas tree!

See how to make these here.

It is difficult to imagine a New Year's mood without snow, and therefore home environment dilute with snowflakes. You can make them from various materials, from plain paper to wood and glass. Consider a method for making decorative snowflakes from glue.

We prepare everything necessary tools and materials:

glue gun;
glue for a gun (a couple of sticks are enough);
baking paper or foil;
any cream;
glue;
brushes;
scissors;
sequins;
thread for hanging.

The whole process will take no more than an hour, everything is so fast and elementary that you can entrust the execution to the child. This craft is also suitable for kindergarten. First of all, we select the drawing of the future snowflake. You can search on the Internet, or you can come up with your own.

We pay attention so that there are no too small details, in them the glue will merge into an ordinary blot.

We transfer the drawing to baking paper / foil, grease the surface with any cream - without it, the glue will be problematic to peel off.

We heat up the glue gun and begin to carefully trace the contour of the snowflake with a strip of liquid glue. We make sure that there are no separate lines left, they must all intersect, otherwise individual parts will simply fall off.

After the New Year's snowflake is completely circled, let it dry for a few minutes.

Dry glue is easily cut with scissors, at this stage we cut off all the imperfections (protruding drops, excess glue), and correct the shape of the snowflake itself.

Now you can start the decorating step. This will require glue. With a brush, apply a thin layer of glue to the surface of the snowflake.

Sprinkle with glitter, white glitter will create a more natural effect.

Let the glitter glue dry for 20-25 minutes, after which we attach the thread for hanging. Everything, the snowflake is ready to decorate the Christmas tree and give the New Year mood.

Thread solution: take 50 ml of water and dissolve 3 teaspoons of sugar in it, add PVA glue - the more the better. And we wrap balloon threads as shown in the video:

DIY 3D Christmas tree toy

Decorating the Christmas tree with the whole family is a real pleasure. The very preparation for the new year causes dizziness, anticipation of a fabulous holiday. Each of the family members is busy with their own affairs, for example, searching for gifts, recipes for holiday table handmade Christmas decorations.

Why not decorate the Christmas tree with handmade toys from natural materials, in particular, pine cones, on the eve of the New Year? An easy-to-use craft looks very harmonious on green branches.

We prepare for work:

pine cone;
clothespin;
tinsel;
plastic snowflake;
scissors;
glue.

In the craft, we will use the opened cone of ordinary pine. However, absolutely any variety of cones, for example, Crimean pine, is suitable for making this decoration.

And another moment. As a decorative element, a plastic snowflake purchased at a needlework store is used in the work. If it is not possible to get such a part, it can be replaced with corrugated paper, plastic flowers cut from cups.

In general, there is something to think about at your leisure. How to make a cone a decent frame? The process of making crafts is very simple. First you need to glue the snowflake to the clothespin.

We glue a new decorative element of the craft in the center of the snowflake.

It remains to attach a pine cone on top. We do not regret Clay. The bump should stick tightly to the plastic snowflake, not to the tinsel.

The decoration is ready. It turned out to be a kind of candle.

Of course, if you wish, you can pre-paint the cones in different colors, decorate with beads or sparkles. We won't do it. The resulting candle looks very natural, harmoniously on the green paws of our fluffy tree.

Here's the proof. Bump, like a bump. Nothing extra. Even the red color of the clothespin does not confuse the eye (although, no doubt, the tree would fit better here).

Very original craft for a Christmas tree made of light bulbs - video lesson

Children are preparing for the celebration of the New Year - they learn scripts, poems, congratulations and make winter-themed crafts. It can be applications on windows, paper garlands or Christmas decorations. We, perhaps, will stop on the last variant. Our Christmas tree is already decorated with homemade bunnies, snowmen and other figurines.

Today we will make a pasta craft in the form of spirals. We propose to dwell on the simplest and most understandable master class, which children of primary school age can independently repeat.

We prepare for work:

Paper triangle;
a piece of plastic from a folder or folder;
PVA glue;
spirals;
watercolor with a brush;
ribbon or thread for a loop;
scissors.

We have a primitive white paper Christmas tree template in the form of a triangle, scissors and a plastic rectangle from a binder.

Let's connect them together and cut out a transparent plastic blank for New Year's pasta crafts - Christmas trees

Of course, sometimes gaps will be visible between the details, but they do not spoil the craft at all. So even better. The tree has distinct branches.

It was the turn to pick up watercolor, a thick brush and cover the Christmas tree with emerald greenery. In order not to stain the table, we put a regular landscape sheet under the blank.

It remains to hang bright decorations on the prickly paws of the tree. Let's use PVA. It can be shells, bows or the same spirals. In our case, the whorls represent long candles. Let's paint them in a juicy red color.

Attach a loop to the top of the craft. Here it is better to use a stapler or superglue. Otherwise, how to hang a pasta toy on a Christmas tree?

A craft glued to an ordinary clothespin will hold on tightly enough on the branches. Then the loop can not be engaged.

This is what our decoration looks like on a real Christmas tree among balls and tinsel. Beautiful?

Children's craft - pasta Christmas tree

This New Year's toy is made in 20 minutes from simple improvised means.

The work will require the following materials:

the basis for the cone is a foam ball or an egg from under children's toys;
velvet colored paper Brown color;
foam balls or blanks in the form of cones;
narrow tape for a loop;
glue gun.

We cut a piece 10 cm long from a satin ribbon. Cut out droplets from velvet paper - scales of a future cone about 1 cm in size. Paper can be absolutely any color, because New Year's cones are distinguished by their diversity of colors and colors.

First of all, we glue the tape to the wide base of the toy - to the foam blank.

We begin to glue the scales from the side of the loop. We paste them over the entire surface of the workpiece.

So that the bump does not look boring, we crumble the foam and attach the balls to the edges of the scales in the upper part.

New Year's snowy cone is ready in minutes. Such toys will not only save money on the purchase of Christmas tree decorations, but also decorate the Christmas tree and the interior of the room.

One of the most popular Christmas decorations can be called a paper Christmas angel, which can be made according to the proposed master class. Such an angel is made very simply and quickly.

Necessary materials:

White sheet of A4 format;
scissors;
pencil;
ruler;
glue;
glitters of gold color.

First, we cut out 2 squares of the desired size from paper, on which the final size of the future angel will depend. In our case, the squares are 9x9 cm.

Now we fold both squares with an accordion.

On each of the blanks, it is required to make one fold in opposite directions. This fold should be located about 1/3 of the distance from the edge.

On each of the blanks, it is necessary to glue the side side, while the upper part will be the wings of an angel.

Now let's start creating the head. To do this, cut off a strip from a sheet of paper, the width of which is equal to the accordion, with which we folded the squares. After that, we begin to twist the cut off narrow strip, periodically fastening it with glue.

To create a head of the desired size, several strips may be required, we take as many as necessary to make a proportional craft.

We make the remaining end of the narrow strip free, while creating a halo. We fix a strip of paper at the bottom and leave a small end.

The resulting workpiece is glued between two previously bent accordions.

With the help of sequins golden color decorate our craft.

Our Christmas paper angel is ready.

DIY Christmas decorations - the most original jewelry. Still, another such ball, snowman or animal cannot be found. It is made in a single copy. Christmas trees decorated with homemade children's toys look incredibly colorful and unique.

Today we propose to consider a simple master class and answer the question: how to make New Year's crafts from plastic cup? Of course, other improvised materials will be used in the work. But! At the heart of the decoration will still be a glass of yogurt.

So, for crafts you will need:

cotton wool;
tinsel;
a plastic cup;
sequins;
satin ribbon or thread;
glue;
scissors.

At the first stage, the guys cannot cope on their own. You have to turn to adults for help. It is necessary to make two neat holes in a plastic cup. In a second, dad will pierce even holes with an awl, through which we will stretch a satin ribbon - the handle of a future flower basket.

We fix the ends of the tape with small knots.

Now take a piece of snow-white cotton wool and put it in the basket. Of course, any other filler can be used for this purpose. However, we associate cotton wool with snow and the New Year. Moreover, it is incredibly light, and therefore does not weigh down the craft in the least.

We will cut off several short parts from tinsel, imitate greens in a basket.

The turn has come to grease each sequin with glue and lay a fiery bouquet on the surface of the cotton wool.

As a result, in 15 minutes we got a colorful, light and cute Christmas decorations- a basket of flowers.

Let's show the New Year's crafts from a plastic cup and improvised materials close-up.

But the basket took its place on the Christmas tree.

This is where we finish the job. It's time to remove the leftover materials used in the manufacture of crafts from the table and go outside for new ideas. A walk in the frosty air always inspires creativity!

DIY paper balls

From old postcards you can make these cute ones new Year decoration- 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.

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, the small bead will play not only a decorative role, but will also prevent the large bead from slipping off, since its hole may be larger than the head of the pin. 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.

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 with each other using 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 glitter or, when the paint dries, the toy can be further coated with varnish or transparent glue with glitter. These are very inexpensive and beautiful jewelry you can make for the new year!

Here is such a simple, but unusually touching and very pretty winter landscape that is easy to create on 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. White first acrylic paint depict 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 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!

With such toys you can decorate both home and street New Year's beauty. And if there is a homemade competition at school, your child is guaranteed a prize!

Light bulbs, plastic bottles, shreds, buttons, dried fruits... But, let's start with the simplest - with paper.

The first thing you can do with corrugated paper – Christmas balls. They are made according to the same principle as the Christmas trees in the last master class. The difference is that the toys are based on a foam ball. It can also be made of wood or papier-mâché. Such blanks are now sold in any needlework store or on the Internet.

The paper is cut into narrow strips 1 cm wide and 3-4 centimeters long. Next, the paper is twisted into a rosette.

Having made the right number of such flowers, we begin to glue them to foam ball. If you add more beads, you get a very elegant toy.

Here's another decor option:

You can make snowflakes the same way. Cut out a shape from cardboard according to the template. We twist roses or buds from corrugated paper in any way, glue them onto a snowflake blank. We make a loop to hang the craft on the Christmas tree and get a wonderful toy.

Using a foam egg, you can make such an interesting cone with sweets.

Brown paper, for starters, glue the workpiece. From corrugated paper, cut out rectangles about 5x3 cm in size.

Glue them together and cut out an oval. Such blanks will need about 70-80 pieces. It all depends on the size of the foam blank. We turn the finished scales and glue them to the toothpicks.

Now, starting from the very top of the egg, we pierce the foam plastic with toothpicks and fasten the scales. We arrange them in a checkerboard pattern. We make several scales without toothpicks to glue them on the bottom of the egg. You can take candy lollipops and insert them between the scales.

Here is another version of corrugated paper cone toys:

But, if you didn’t have paper at hand, but there are a lot of plastic bottles, you can make New Year crafts from them.

We decorate the bottom edge of the craft with sticky colored tape, and glue the top edge. The result is a skirt. I pinched the top so that the glue hardened well.

While the bottom dries, we make wings for the angel. To do this, take the second half of the paper, cut it in half and carry out the same steps as with the first large half.

That is, we glue adhesive tape and glue the top.

Now it remains to collect the angel. We glue the narrow part of the wing and the wide one (shown by arrows in the figure) and attach the wing to the figure.

We twist it into a roll and glue it so that the paper does not unfold. We make a strip of colored tape, which we glue to the head. She plays the role of both a halo and a pendant. Glue the head to the angel.
