New Year's crafts from threads. New Year's crafts from threads: simple and beautiful. foam tray

Greetings to all lovers of needlework! Under the influence of the pre-holiday fuss, I again joined the creative process of creating something new and curious. are original decorations with which you can decorate not only a festive Christmas tree, but also any space. The creation of such toys is a fascinating process that will appeal to both adults and children.

Last year I already introduced you to my first experience. I made balls using knitting threads. But I didn’t post the master class, but showed only the result. If you are interested in how they are made, then you can watch a detailed video in the article "".

Since I already have balls, although I gave away most of them last New Year, but I still have a few left, I decided to experiment a little more and made flat decorations from threads using this technique. This time, I will share with you the whole process and the result of my efforts.

MATERIALS FOR CREATING NEW YEAR DECORATIONS FROM THREADS AND GLUE

Threads for knitting in different colors

PVA glue

Water

Needles with tips

foam tray

Beautiful round laces or ribbons

Various decorative embellishments (sequins, glitter, ribbons, lace, etc.)

The first step is to draw on thick paper the patterns of toys that you want to make and cut them out. I got them like this. I decided that I would make a ball, a house, a star and a Christmas tree.

After that, we proceed directly to work. For this I used a styrofoam tray. You can think of something else, but this item should be flat and well pierced with needles. One more moment. Since the thickness of the tray is not very large, and for work it is necessary that the needles sit tight enough, I placed a fabric folded several times under the tray from below. The needles pass through the bottom of the tray and penetrate the material. Thus, they are securely fixed and do not move under the tension of the threads.

At the bottom of the tray, you need to put stencils of future toys and mark with needles all the corners of the figure and some intermediate places (optional). The more needles, the more intricate and dense the pattern.

We take any deep plate and pour PVA into it. If the glue is thick, then it must be diluted with a small amount of water. The thicker the resulting liquid, the denser and stronger the toy will be as a result. We put the threads with which we will work in a plate and let them soak thoroughly with liquid. This is an important point, as unimpregnated threads will remain soft. And that's not what we need. But don't keep them there for too long. One minute is enough.

After that, we pull the thread by the tail and pull it between the needles in various directions. Create a chaotic geometric pattern. Please note that I made the Christmas tree from two colors: white and green. Initially, I pulled a white thread, and then a green one. Thus, the Christmas tree on both sides is a different color. I pulled the asterisk completely from red threads.

In the same way, I made a house and a ball. By the way, on the house, I additionally made a window. It is performed after the yellow threads for the main pattern are pulled between the needles.

This time, I did not wait until my toys dry naturally, but dried them with a hair dryer. This took some time. Do not pull out the needles during drying!

After the product is almost dry, it must be carefully separated from the tray and dried on the reverse side. Here is what I got as a result. In principle, they can be left in this form. But, I decided that I would make them more artistic and decorative.

This part of the process took me most of the time. I raked out what I have in my handicraft arsenal and began to come up with decorating options. As you can see, I used a variety of materials: a string of imitation pearls, sequins, silk ribbons, a pendant with a pebble, a golden ribbon, and even the remains of a bead attachment.

Each toy was hung on round strings. Here are the New Year's decorations from threads that I get as a result.

To be honest, I liked the Christmas tree the most. She is beautiful in her simplicity. The pearl garlands make it very dressy and a bit glamorous. I'm already thinking about making such Christmas trees as a gift to my friends, but only all of them are multi-colored. I am sure that they should also turn out beautiful and bright.

Cheerful snowman made of threads and glue

Among the interesting and very simple DIY crafts for the New Year 2019, there may be a snowman. It is also made from thread and PVA glue quite easily. However, it will still take some time to create a beautiful and neat product. In general, the whole family should participate in this creative process, from adults to children, who will be pleased to feel like your irreplaceable helpers. So let's get down to the fun stuff.

For work you will need:

balls - 5 pcs.;
white yarn;
stationery glue or PVA;
ready-made eyes or buttons;
thin threads and a needle;
a sheet of paper, can be orange (for the spout);
a small piece of red felt or other fabric (for the mouth);
scissors.

Manufacturing process:

To create the body of a snowman, we need to inflate the balls, and each of them must differ in size from each other. In this way, we prepared the head, the middle of the body and the lower part of the snowman. Do not forget about the hands. They can be created using the same balls, but of the appropriate size, and if there is no such desire, then it would not be bad to build them from paper, sew them from fabric and some kind of filler. The choice, of course, is yours, dear friends.
The white yarn of your choice should be pre-soaked in PVA glue or clerical glue for several minutes so that the required length of thread is thoroughly saturated with this fastening solution.
Our next step is to wind the yarn we prepared earlier. This should be done so that the ball is completely covered with thread material, as in the photo.
After you process all the balls, they need to be given time to dry. And after the allotted time, with a needle, you need to pierce all the balls so that only the frame of yarn remains. Carefully remove their remains through the gap.
Now we need to connect together all the round frames we have prepared to make the body of a snowman. They will need to be sewn with a needle and thin light threads. So, we have formed a very cute fairy-tale character, consisting of three rounded parts of the body and arms.
To give the image of a snowman expressiveness, we need to pay attention to his face. To do this, we glue ready-made eyes or black buttons to the appropriate places; the mouth, cut out of red felt or any other fabric, is attached in the form of a perky smile, also with glue.
Let's start creating a nose - carrots. For this purpose, we need a sheet of colored or snow-white paper, A4 format. We need to roll it into a tight cone like a carrot, then fasten it with adhesive tape.
When the base of the spout is ready, we should take the orange-colored threads and also moisten them first in the adhesive solution. Then we wrap it thickly on a paper frame so that we get a bright and even shade, preferably without large gaps. We give time to dry. After a certain period, we should pull the paper out of the thread cover very carefully.
Frame - we sew a carrot to the face of a snowman.
Cheeks can be expressed by slightly tinting them with blush, using a makeup brush.
On the head of a snowman, you can put on a scarf, a hat that fits the size, or something else, at your discretion. As the main outfit, you should use a scarf.
Build a broom out of twigs and stick it in your hand.

In such a simple way, you can make a wonderful craft from threads and glue for the New Year 2020 with your own hands at home. Your family will find this activity quite amusing. If you want to somehow diversify your entire home, then create a lot of colored balls using this technique and hang them in the form of garlands on windows, pendants on chandeliers, Christmas wreaths on doors. Watch our video tutorial to do everything right and quickly.

A master class on making New Year's crafts from threads is quite simple, so both adults and children can handle it.

1:1042 1:1052

Thread balls - master class

1:1118 1:1124 1:1134

Let's start with the simplest crafts - balls of thread. They are airy, light, do not break, and their size depends only on your desire!

1:1367

To make these balls, you will need:

1:1447

glue “office” silicate or PVA glue
long needle,
threads of different colors
and various little things for decoration (beads, rhinestones, foil, rain, bells, etc.)

Inflate a balloon of the desired size. We thread the needle and pierce the bottle of glue with it, now the thread will pass through it and immediately become saturated with glue. We begin to wrap the ball with sticky thread. Then you have to wash your hands, because all the fingers will be in this “liquid glass”.

1:2293

1:9 1:13 1:23

You can do it differently. Wind the threads on the ball turn by turn, and then, from above, coat the threads with glue.

1:227 1:237 1:241 1:251

When the glue dries, pierce or gently deflate the ball and pull it out. Then decorate as you wish. We filled this balloon with a shiny “rain” (it will be better seen if the balloon is made more transparent), glued stars and foil flowers on top, and tied a mini bell on the bottom.

Christmas tree made of threads - master class

1:947 1:953 1:963

For work you will need the following materials:

1:1050

floss or knitting threads (thick ones are easier and faster to work with),
food film,
Whatman A1,
glue,
brush,
scissors,
ruler,
compass,
pencil.
Ribbons, tinsel, toys, sparkles, etc. are suitable for decoration.

1:1464 1:1474

Take whatman paper, measure a distance equal to 48 cm, divide it in half. Set the compass to the resulting center and draw a circle. Cut it out by first marking four equal parts on it with a ruler.

1:1865

1:9 1:13 1:23

Cut out one piece from the mold. If you want the future tree to be narrower, then cut off two parts, leaving half a circle.

1:244 1:254 1:258 1:268

Make a cone by folding the resulting craft blank. Apply glue to the joint to hold the shape.

1:454 1:464 1:468 1:478

Take cling film and wrap around the cone.

1:560 1:570 1:574 1:584

Dilute glue with water. Dip the threads into the resulting solution, wet them and randomly wrap them around the cone. You can wear disposable gloves to protect your hands from the glue. The Christmas tree does not have to be green, so the threads will suit absolutely any color and any thickness.

1:1096 1:1106 1:1110 1:1120

Wind the threads moistened with glue until the tree is dense enough. If there are few threads, then the craft will not be able to take a stable shape.

1:1409 1:1419 1:1423 1:1433

Leave the Christmas tree for a while to dry and become stable. After a few hours, carefully pull out the cone and peel off the film from the threads. The Christmas tree is ready!

1:1753

You can place an LED candle or a New Year's garland inside the finished Christmas tree, and fancy openwork shadows will decorate your home.

1:235 1:245 1:249 1:259 1:263 1:273

If desired, the craft can be decorated. Glue tinsel or toys on top, sprinkle with sparkles. It is easy to make bows from ribbons.

1:503 1:513 1:517 1:527 1:531 1:541 1:545 1:555

In addition, in addition to balls and Christmas trees, according to the same principle, you can make, for example, an angel from threads and glue.

1:744

A very small ball is inflated for the head (such are obtained from fragments of bursting balls, for example :)), which, after the threads have dried, is pulled out.

1:1024

But for the torso, we took a transparent plastic plate (peeled it off the box with a toy), rolled it into a cone, fastened it with a stapler in two places. Having started wrapping the body with threads, we realized that they would hold on only if they were wrapped from all sides (and not just from above, as we planned), that is, it would not be possible to pull out the cone later. But in principle, this is not necessary, because it is transparent. The wings of an angel are cut out of foil.

1:1805 1:9 1:13 1:23

But we made such a snowman from threads for a competition in kindergarten.

1:152

For a hat, they wrapped a measuring cup of medicine, after the threads dried, they pulled it out, cutting off the bottom of the threads from below. For the “carrot”, they also wrapped a small cone of film. Support - a cover from a coffee jar. Here is such a translucent snowman turned out:

In order to make a bright beautiful cockerel, you will need to do the following:

Cut out a square from a bright fabric. It can be small, medium or large, depending on the size of the toy you want to make.
Separately, we take the fabric of red color. Another color won't work as you will be making the beak and comb.

You can draw a cockerel yourself, you can find ready-made stencils. It can also be both voluminous and flat. With children, a cockerel can be made from a yellow cone - look at the photo, and as a New Year's souvenir, find some more complex and naturalistic solution.

7. Rooster from a ball and threads

Another very easy way to make a symbol of 2019 is to make a cockerel from a balloon and thread. All you need is one or two balloons, bright yellow, orange or red thread, PVA glue, and buttons and scraps of fabric or colored paper to decorate the toy and give it a finished look.

Craft rooster ball and thread + fabric

How to do:

First, inflate the balloon to the desired size. Then we dip the threads into the glue and wrap our ball - tightly or not too tightly, as you like - there we will prepare a frame for our future toy. There is nothing complicated, so this craft can be done for the new year and with the children. By the way, it can be not only a cockerel, but also any other animal.

After the glue dries, simply pierce the ball with a needle and pull the remnants out of the frame. We have the body of the rooster and its head - if you decide to use two balls. Now we take the buttons and make eyes out of them, gluing them to the frame in the right place. We make wings and a tail from a patch or colored paper - we also glue it. Paws can be made from felt, paper or wire and scraps. Here's what you can get:

8. Craft a rooster from felt

You can sew a cockerel not only from fabric or multi-colored shreds, but also from felt. By the way, this is almost the most popular idea, since the felt does not crumble, does not need to be processed, which means that it will be very easy to make figurines and toys. Simple rooster crafts are made from multi-colored sheets of felt: just cut out the necessary parts and stick them on top of each other - you get an easy flat craft. But more complex voluminous felt figures will already have to be sewn, and here it is better to use ideas already created by someone. Here are four ready-made schemes on how to make a felt rooster yourself, it remains only to download, print, apply to fabric and cut out:

Cockerel made of felt - finished scheme

And if you think that this is too difficult, then look at the photos of other figures made from this material, perhaps you will like some idea more. By the way, good does not mean difficult. There are very simple solutions for such crafts that look very cute and are quite suitable for New Year's souvenirs. For example, pay attention to the cockerel-heart.

9. Rooster from plastic bottles

Plastic bottles are a very popular material for country and children's crafts. Here we already wrote, and today we will tell you how to make a rooster out of them. The easiest craft option is to take one bottle and decorate it with the symbol of the New Year using colored paper, buttons, disposable tableware and any other materials at hand.

More complex options are the creation of voluminous roosters with which you can decorate the cottage. Here one can no longer do without abstract imagination, the ability to create the necessary forms and combine different colors, since there are simply no ready-made schemes for such figures. You will have to cut out the “feathers” for the tail and plumage yourself, make a comb and collect it all into a single shape. But for some, these birds turn out just like living ones - see for yourself in the photo:

10. Crafts from salt dough - rooster

Another popular material for children's crafts is salt dough. It is not difficult to make it, sculpting is just as simple as from plasticine, but at the same time the figures are stronger and more durable - you can not be afraid that your child will break everything just because he squeezed his fingers a little harder than necessary.

Salt Dough Cockerel Recipe:

Mix in a bowl 200-250 grams of flour and half a glass or a little more fine sea or ordinary table salt. Add about 150 grams of water and mix everything thoroughly. At the end, pour in 20-30 grams of glue - it is better to use PVA, so that the dough keeps its shape better and the figures do not fall apart.

Next, we begin to sculpt a figure - we make a torso, add a head, attach wings and a tail to it, and also do not forget about the scallop and beak. After we paint with gouache or some special paints. We make all the details separately, and then glue them together with glue or water. Use a scalpel or a thin and sharp knife to make small parts and shape them; when working with children, it is better to take safe plastic tools - a spatula or something that will help you make cuts and create the necessary elements.

Craft - fiery rooster

After all, everyone remembers that 2019 is the year of the fiery rooster, which means that if you are already making a figurine, then you should focus on these bright colors. It can be a red rooster, orange, yellow, or you can combine all these shades in one toy. You can make such crafts of roosters from different materials - from felt and shreds, from fabric and paper, from plastic bottles, cups and other disposable tableware. Also, a fiery rooster for the new year can be made from ribbons, tinsel and Christmas balls to decorate the New Year tree with such figures or use it as crafts for a kindergarten.

A bright fiery rooster is a great idea for a New Year's craft

Volumetric craft rooster with children

If you don’t like a flat figurine, why not make voluminous crafts in the form of a rooster, which you can give to children in kindergarten and give to friends for the new year? We have already talked about how to crochet a cockerel or sew patches or fabrics - this is the most popular way to make voluminous toys. Crafts in the garden for the year of the rooster are easiest to do from paper, napkins or plasticine, and if everything is clear with plasticine, then with paper - you can use various methods, for example, first make a cone of colored paper, and only then turn it into a cockerel. You can also use techniques such as volumetric quilling or plain or corrugated paper, origami, papier mache and the use of complex patterns and patterns. Someone generally manages to make a rooster from cotton pads and sticks, and for a Christmas tree - from Christmas balls, cereals, pasta, coffee beans, cones, chestnuts, acorns and other natural material.

Bonus: Kindergarten rooster

And one more bonus craft is a cockerel from cereals, which can be made for both kindergarten and elementary school. Groats can be used very different, this composition can be made from millet and buckwheat, peas and beans, semolina, rice and other cereals. The more options you have, the more interesting the craft will turn out - there is a chance to win the competition with your child.

The technology is simple: we draw a cockerel on a piece of paper - parents can do it, and if it’s difficult to draw it yourself, you can always download a ready-made stencil, print it out and use it for decoration. Next, with a brush, apply glue to the entire surface that you will fill with natural material. It remains to pour the grits and let the glue dry. After that, just shake off the extra grains and get the finished craft. Cunning: if you use several different cereals, then so that they do not mix, it is better to apply layers in turn, “painting” with glue only the areas of the picture that are needed now. But laying out a panel of beans or peas is already more difficult - here you have to put the beans in even rows to each other, after also applying glue to the paper. Here's what you can get:

What else can a cockerel be made of? Yes, from anything, from buttons or plastic bottles (you can decorate a garden in the country with such a craft). It can be made of wood or thread, old things or some other scrap materials, such as disposable plates. A quilling painting with a cockerel - a symbol of 2019 - can also be a great gift. From satin ribbons, feathers and beads, you can make decorations for a cockerel from paper or fabric.
