Cotton wool and cotton pads are one of the most popular materials for creating New Year's crafts. Obviously, their external resemblance to snow affects. We have collected for you some wonderful workshops using them: you will learn how to make snowmen, Christmas tree decorations and even snowfall with your own hands!

Snowflakes on a Christmas tree from cotton pads

This is a very simple and beautiful Christmas decoration. Several of these snowflakes will decorate any Christmas tree.

What will we need?

• several cotton pads
• small pieces of colored felt
• stencil for cutting circles or compasses
• braid or narrow strips of felt for hanging

Progress

From the felt we cut out colored circles, the diameter of which will be slightly smaller than the diameter of the cotton pads.

We divide the cotton pads into two halves. We draw lines crosswise with a pen. Apply them as if drawing an eight-pointed snowflake. We dig a hole in the center (you can use an awl). Then we make cuts, as shown in the photo.

Tip: If the cotton pads are too thin, you do not need to split them into halves - use them whole.

Then the cut parts must be carefully pulled together so that the “paws” of the snowflake are obtained. When everything is ready, we take a whole cotton pad, put a piece of colored felt on it and cover it with the prepared base. We sew the craft with a white thread on the front side, placing the future loop inside.

Make some of these snowflakes and decorate your Christmas tree with them.

If desired, you can connect the snowflakes together into a garland - it will turn out very unusual and beautiful.

Christmas tree decoration: cotton pad angels

These angels are so weightless and touching! They certainly will not leave anyone indifferent. It will take no more than five minutes to make one angel. And when you fill your hand - even less.

What will we need?

• small beads
• Super glue
• gold or silver paint outline (optional)

Progress

Take a cotton pad and carefully cut it in half. Place a bead in the center of one of the halves.

We work out the edges of the disk with thinning scissors or make a small pattern with ordinary thin scissors. Then we tighten the disk under the bead with a thread.

The upper part of the future angel is ready. Now take the second part of the cotton pad and fold it in half.

We tuck two corners, forming a triangle. And then we wrap them inside.

We put a toothpick in the center so that there is something to hold on to when we fasten the two parts of our New Year's crafts together.

Directly under the bead head we drip a small drop of glue.

We put our skirt on it. Then we decorate the finished angel with the help of a contour paint.

The neck of an angel can be wrapped with an ordinary thread or a thin gold wire. So it will be very convenient to hang them on the Christmas tree.

Snowfall from cotton wool

This is a very simple to make, but incredibly beautiful-looking accessory. A little cotton wool - and magical snowfall will begin in your room!

What will we need?

• large pack of cotton
• white thread for sewing

Progress

We insert the thread into the needle. Pour the glue into any bowl and dip the thread into it. In the hands we form small balls of cotton wool. Then we pierce them with a needle and pass the thread through the center. Put on as many balloons as you like.

If after some time the thread becomes dry, again gently dip it in glue and continue the process.

In this way, you can make very beautiful snow garlands. And if you hang the threads vertically under the ceiling, you get a very beautiful snowfall. Cotton wool can be additionally decorated with sparkles.

Cotton snowman

What New Year no snowman? Our favorite winter hero will turn out to be very cute. You can put it under the tree, on the windowsill, or even next to the New Year's snacks - let it decorate.

What will we need?

• PVA glue or homemade paste
• small twigs or straw (for hands)
• toothpick

Progress

We lather our hands thicker and take cotton wool. We roll two (or three, if you prefer a “three-level” snowman) dense balls of different sizes. This is called the wet felting technique, which is usually used to roll up wool for crafts.

When the balls are ready, carefully place them on a flat surface and let them dry.

Pour glue into a bowl and dilute it with water in a ratio of 2: 1 (2 - glue, 1 - water). You can also add dry glitter here - it will be more beautiful.

Dip the dried lumps into a bowl with tweezers. Then we take them out and dry them again.

When the parts of the future snowman are ready, we connect them together with a toothpick. First, it also needs to be dipped in glue.

We will make eyes from small black beads or beads. You can just draw them.

To make a snowman a carrot, you need to break off a small piece of a toothpick. Leave a small edge free so that it can be stuck into the head. The rest is tightly wrapped with a thin layer of cotton wool. Then the carrots must also be moistened in the glue mixture. When it dries, paint it orange.

On the sides in the body of the snowman we stick twig handles. You can put a paper bucket on our handsome man's head or add some more traditional accessories.

As you can see, working with cotton wool and cotton pads is easy and pleasant. In this case, the result is simply wonderful. Try to repeat any of the suggested ideas to see for yourself.

It is very easy to make it. For the torso and head, I crumpled two lumps of ordinary newspaper and tied them with threads so that they would not be disheveled. Then I glued them together with a glue gun, and then began to glue cotton pads, bending disk twice. By the same principle, I made arms and legs, and then glued them to the snowman. Nose and mouth made from colored paper, eyes from old soft toys, put on the head New Year cap and tied a bow around her neck. I think it turned out not bad.

The next thing I did cotton pads These are balloons to decorate the group. I made 7 of them, they hung from the chandeliers in a certain sequence. It was very beautiful.

The ball is very easy to make. Crumple the newspaper and tie it with a thread, then the whole paper ball paste over cotton pads. To decorate, glue beads in a scatter, on top of a few artificial spruce branches and you can make a bump. Here is the ball ready.

That year there was a competition for "The best house of Santa Claus". I again decided to make cotton pads. And took 2nd place.

For the tower, I needed a few boxes different size which I glued together in the form of a tower. And then just pasted disks and decorated.

Speech development Have each child make up a short story about how they have fun during the winter. He will tell about his experience of sculpting figures from snow.

snow games- from a walk you can grab some snow in a bucket. Wait until it melts and compare the volume of water with the initial volume of snow. Where did the snow go? Evaporated, offended and ran away? In fact, the snow did not disappear anywhere, it just changed its state and therefore decreased. The amount of water as it was, so much remains. Such a natural hocus pocus!

To better understand what happened to the snow, empty the cubes from the box and ask one boy to put them together quickly and casually, and the second girl to put them neatly and tightly.

On the conscience, folded cubes take up less space, and with snow. Snowflakes are not able to cling tightly to each other due to their stellar shape, and therefore take up more volume.
