Top 10 Christmas Craft Ideas for Kindergarteners

“Well, where are our pens?”

Let's start with the nursery group. It's hard to imagine what a baby can do, who also speaks with difficulty? And these kids will have something to do.

Draw a small palm with a pencil on colored paper or cardboard and cut it out. From such blanks you can make a large Christmas tree on the wall of the group. Each kid must be sure to glue his own palm or several. A paper Christmas tree can be decorated with cardboard toys. On paper Christmas balls, you can stick a photo of the pupils of the group.

From the palms you will also get a Christmas wreath, which can be decorated with decorative berries, ribbons. White and red blanks will make a wonderful Santa Claus or a snowman.

Is there a free wall in the band or music hall? It can be decorated with your own hands as a large New Year's composition from the palms. From the blanks you can make houses, Santa Claus, Snow Maiden, animals and everything that is enough for imagination.

"Christmas trees rush around the city ..."

Roll the paper sheet into a cone. What happens next is all that fantasy is capable of. Quite crumbs can anoint a green cardboard Christmas tree with glue and sprinkle with sparkles and sequins.
With older kids, you can make Santa Claus. Draw a black belt on the red cone, make a beard out of cotton, draw a face.

Snowman, snowman, appeared in the yard

Kids love to sculpt snowmen and not only from snow ... Cotton wool, cotton pads, threads, plastic cups will do.
You can create a winter composition from a family of snowmen with your own hands from cotton wool, a cardboard box, glue, sparkles, ribbons, pencils and paints.

You can try making big snowmen out of plastic cups.

It is very easy and very fun to make snowmen out of thread. The technology can be viewed on the Internet.

Salt dough crafts

There is no limit to creativity here. The recipe for the dough can be easily found on the net.
Kindergarteners are invited to create a Christmas composition from candles with their own hands. To do this, knead the dough of different colors. Give the kids tubes from disposable kitchen towels. Let them roll sausages and make striped candles or completely cover the base of the candle with dough.

Older children can create real New Year's pictures from salt dough in the company of their parents or a teacher. As a basis, you can take thick cardboard in a frame or a plate.

Threads and cardboard

Prepare balls of thread of different thicknesses, cardboard, glue, paints and cookie cutters. Older children will cope with this type of New Year's crafts almost on their own. We circle the mold on cardboard with a pencil, cut out the blank. We wind the threads on cardboard, fix it with glue at the beginning and at the end. If necessary, paint the toy and decorate it with sequins, semi-beads or rhinestones.

A miracle the size of a button

Buttons of different shapes, colors and sizes are a chic material for creating New Year's crafts with children.
With the guys from the older group, they are no longer afraid to trust the needles, you can make exclusive New Year's balls as a gift to your relatives. For the toy, you will need a foam or rubber ball (any that can be pierced), a thin beautiful ribbon, a figured hole punch with small flowers. The ball is completely wrapped with tape. Cut out miniature flowers with a hole punch. Using a hairpin with a head, we fix the flower to the Christmas tree toy.
Flowers can be exchanged for colored buttons.

With very young kindergarten students, you can make simple, but very stylish postcards and give them to your relatives or send them to Santa Claus. We need three buttons, a blank for a postcard or a sheet of beautiful double-sided cardboard folded in half, acrylic paint and a thin brush or felt-tip pens, glue. The kids will make a snowman out of buttons, and an adult will help to finish the hat, carrot and hands.

"I love pasta..."

From pasta, you can cook not only a hearty dinner, but also a Christmas tree, angels, and everything that is enough for the imagination of the teacher and the kids.

Second life for broken CDs

Disks for CD players are an excellent basis for DIY Christmas compositions. Children 5-6 years old can be introduced to the elements of decoupage. This does not require special materials: a disc, a themed napkin, PVA glue and a wide brush.
You can also make Santa Claus, any animals, gnomes, a snowman, etc. from disks.

natural material

Well, what do-it-yourself New Year's crafts without natural material. Squirrels and snowmen, from cones, Santa Claus from acorns, a snowman.

Good afternoon - today our article will be devoted to New Year's compositions. This means that we will compose with you small ISLANDS OF NEW YEAR HAPPINESS. I will show you how such small compositions can decorate the New Year's table. Or how to decorate a room with their help - giving it the spirit of expectation of a fabulous holiday.

We will have…

small DESKTOP New Year's compositions with crockery... with candles… Compositions from natural material… Edible Christmas crafts...
…there will be SUSPENDED compositions to decorate a window or wall…
...and there will be MAJOR crafts to decorate the fireplace area or decorate part of the room.

So, let's see how you can decorate the house for the New Year ...

TABLE compositions - with BEADS, BALLS and WARE.

The simplest idea is to take a beautiful wide vase or a ceramic SALAD BOWL - put candles of different sizes in it .... To the bottom put Christmas decorations between the candles and distribute a beautifully long string of glass beads - You can see an example of this idea in the left photo below.- everything here is sustained in a single silver-gold color. But you can have a blue composition ... or red ... to match the color of your service and tablecloth on the New Year's table.

More ... (right photo below - look how original ...) you need to take round CAKE STAND(on a high leg). And on this round "podium" arrange wine glasses, glasses, vases- which to fill with Christmas decorations (small balls), beads, glass crystals.

Not necessary such "ware-New Year's" compositions to do in one color. It can be a bright combination of three or four colors. Moreover, you can lay them randomly ... or you can GROUP by shade(as in the left photo below) - where the Christmas tree decor in blue tones lies in one pile ... purple tinsel is collected in another ... red ... yellow ... green - it all forms rainbow arrangement of fir tree toys on one big platter.

And you can use as bright colors not only juicy fir balls - but also bright DENSE-COLOR LIQUIDS in pot-bellied decanters and glass saucers(see left photo below).

And also ... you can add TRIANGULAR CONICAL SHAPES to round balls - that is, buy bright wrapping paper (in the gift wrapping department) ... roll it off bright cones ... and arrange here and there in our composition- it turns out an imitation of Christmas trees. If these cones decorate with glue rhinestones(sold in any newsstand - sticker rhinestones) - then our cones-herringbones will be quite elegant. This is also a simple idea.

They also look good in compositions for the New Year's table - tall flat vases for fruit and cakes… They are single-tier (as in the purple photo below) ... or multi-tiered (as in the red example in the photo below).

They can also be decorated with a scattering of Christmas balls and colored lozenges.

You can also flip ordinary wine glasses.– and their flat base makes a great candle holder. Under the "head" of an inverted glass, you can put a flower, glass beads or a scattering of small Christmas balls-babies (such tiny balls are sold at any New Year's fair).

Do you know? ... how to put balls in a glass and not scatter them, when will you turn the glass upside down? It's very simple - you need to pour balls into a glass - put a cardboard on top. Turn the glass over on the table - remove the cardboard from under it - and you're done: all the balls remained under the glass. And we get a beautiful New Year's candlestick.

And in New Year's table compositions, you can use a GARLAND ... It can be placed at the bottom of colored vases and wine glasses. Or hide among the tinsel, beads and floral material (leaves, flowers).

Or you can buy crystal trees (during the season they are sold in almost every major store) or Christmas tree lamps. Put such a Christmas tree in the center of the future composition - surround it with candles and other New Year's decorations and ... light all this splendor in the evening. The fire of candles will be reflected in the crystal of the Christmas tree, in the shiny silver of the tray ... in the candlesticks wrapped in foil.

Can be used as a basis not a tray ... a WITTED BASKET… And add to standard candles and balls tape ... and a fan, in the same colors as Christmas decorations.

And you can do without any vessel or container ... just make a beautiful layout on the table New Year's tools...

Arrange heart shaped balls… add spruce twigs… cones… tablet candles… dried orange slices… and fragrant bundles of cinnamon sticks tied with a ribbon

look good compositions with a big star... already for this it is worth buying it ... or you can make a beautiful New Year's star with your own hands ... How exactly I will tell in a separate article and then a link to it will work here.

And if you find DEER FIGURINES on sale ... then you can make a beautiful craft on a flat dish covered with moss ... with a small artificial spruce and acorns ...

or in a ROUND BELLOW WIDE VASE (or aquarium) with SALT poured into it (like snow), stick cones (like Christmas trees) into a salt snowdrift ... and insert a white candle ... which in the evening will illuminate this small piece of the winter world ... with handsome deer.

New Year's compositions - made by YOUR HANDS.

You can make beautiful elements of New Year's decor with your own hands. It could be A CHRISTMAS SPOTLIGHTED WITH GLITTER.

It is done simply - we fold a bag of thick paper - cut off the bottom edge of the bag-cone (so that it stands exactly on the table). We smear the cone with silicate glue - and sprinkle with shiny sequins ... You can fill the gaps between the sequins with a manicure powder (it is small enough to close all the tiny gaps).

If you feel sorry for the money for sequins(such an amount will cost a lot) ... you can do it easier and cheaper. We buy in the store the usual fluffy foil garland... and cut it all "makhrushka" with scissors- we get a whole bunch of crayons of sparkles - they can be strewn with a cone-blank of a Christmas tree.

And you can also make a WITTED CHRISTMAS WEB ...(Here as in the left photo above... pale golden, see?) ... It is also made super-simply - just below I am attaching step-by-step instructions.

Workshop on making a Christmas tree from threads.

1. We take the same paper cone - a bottle of silicate glue (old Soviet). Golden threads (or beige threads) are smaller in size ... and a little bit thicker in size (you can use a cord or twine).

2. We make a hole in the glue bottle (right in the barrel)- through and through on both sides - we thread our thread into the hole (using a needle) - and it turns out that our thread is calmly pulled through the glue (wetting evenly). We put the spool of thread on the bottom of the glass jar (so that it does not jump on the table).

3. And now our paper cone we will entangle with this glue thread- we just pull it through the bottle ... it immediately comes out smeared with glue ... and we wind it in a chaotic manner on our conical Christmas tree blank.

4. When the main winding is driven, the whole product can be sprinkle with gold dust(it could be nail powder… it could be a spray can of gold paint… it could be a shredded gold garland)

We also smear the cord with glue (you can not shove it into a bottle of glue), but simply immerse the cord in a bowl of glue. Take out and attach in a SMOOTH LINE from the top of the tree to the very bottom. And do it IN SIX DIFFERENT PLACES. And then with this cord make a circle-ring at the very base of the Christmas tree.

6. After drying (5-6 hours), you can carefully separate the paper cone from the openwork cobweb of frozen threads ... Just poke paper through the holes - it should move away well (if it’s bad to move away somewhere, you can moisten it with water - ONLY from the back of the cone.

You can make original Christmas trees and snowmen from balls of cotton threads… It turns out a stylish composition in snowy tones. From white wire, you can make accessories for snowmen (shoes, pens, smoking pipes).

You can collect cones, paint them in gold and silver paint y (from a can) - and put mixed with balls in high cylindrical vases.

And you can do it yourself beautiful Christmas trees from Christmas balls. How to make such a Christmas tree with your own hands in 30 minutes (without a drop of glue ... that is, dry work, you can trust the children, they won’t get dirty) I’ll tell you now.

Everything is simple and really fast.

Step 1. We make the base in the form of a cone. We take thick paper (we buy a sheet of drawing paper in stationery). We take a large dish (round, the size of the dish can be 2 times the sheet) - put the dish on the sheet and circle it with a pencil so that it turns out FLOOR CIRCLE. We cut out half a circle and turn it into a cone, fasten the cone flaps with a stapler or double-sided tape.

Step 2. Fill the surface of the cone with large balls. We take the wire and pierce it the bottom of the cone- on a wire tail we string Christmas balls, on metal ears. We wrap the wire with balls around the bottom of the cone, the balls are distributed evenly around the cone, in a tight row. Next, the wire, when it reaches the closure of the circle, we pass a couple of times through the place where the wire leaves the cone (that is, we close the circle). And now we make the second circle (it will be higher than the first one). We string the balls again and again wrap the wire with the balls around the cone. We make as many such wire rings with strung balls as necessary in order to close the cone from top to bottom.

Step 3. Fill the holes with small balls. Between the big balls we will have gap holes. They need to be closed with smaller balls. To do this, cut the wire into short pieces, thread a ball into each segment separately. And we will fix each such ball separately. We pierce the cone with the wire in the place of the hole - in two places - we twist the tails of the wire with the hanging ball into a knot inside the cone .. So that the wire does not break through this place of the cone - this zone can be sealed - before piercing on the inside of the cone in this place, stick an additional piece of paper on double-sided tape - even if the child pulls on a small ball, the wire will not tear the puncture site.

SWEET Christmas compositions with a gingerbread house.

OR ... you can make your own hands DELICIOUS NEW YEAR CRAFTS ... for example, this Christmas gingerbread house.

Such a house sets on a rectangular base... so that it is convenient to carry it ... And if you make several gingerbread houses, you can build a small village ... If you place such a village on a mirror (as in the photo below), you get the feeling that the houses are on the shore of a winter lake ... Very beautiful composition.

You can make a THREE-TIER CHRISTMAS PENDANT (as we can see in the pink photo below)…

Your child can do it (it's so simple) ... you have to buy soft aluminum wire(it is very cheap in any hardware store, kiosk) and turn right away THREE RINGS in different sizes... Connect the ring-tiers with a pyramid (using the same wire) and wrap it all with a garland of foil... and then put an ELECTRIC GARLAND with LEDs along the same rings. It turns out a beautiful New Year's chandelier.

And it's even easier to do SUSPENSION FROM THICK CORPORATED CARDBOARD. That's exactly what we see on the left photo above (with purple flowers) ...

We take dense carto n from the box - cut out the circle… in a circle poke three holes- in holes we pass the ribbon(our suspension will hang on it). We place on this circle to composition of moss, twigs, dry herbs and flowers and small candlesticks (necessarily in glass cups) so that the branches do not flare up. (Or lay out an electric garland). And we get a beautiful New Year's pendant.

Here are more options decoration of the New Year's hanging composition... You can make your own design - the author's... under your general style... under the color that you have chosen as the main color of the Christmas tree.

And you can make everything easier ... tie balls on threads to the chandelier ... make threads of different lengths - so that each ball occupies its own SEPARATE AIR SPACE and does not come into contact with another ball.

And I showed an interesting version of the suspension in the article

And in the same ideological vein, you can make a New Year's hanging decoration for windows . We attach bright ribbons (or white ropes) to the same cornice where the curtains hang and tie Christmas toys or home-made flat stars made of gold cardboard on them.

We also make ribbons and ropes MANDATORY OF DIFFERENT LONG - so that each toy in the row takes its own LEVEL, its place - so that they do not crowd in a row like cows at a watering hole.

You first think how do you want to see this New Year's holiday row on the window-

lay it out on the carpet toys and ribbons...

adjust(right on the floor) the length of the tapes and the level of the position of the toy ...

and when you like the composition, then start transferring it ONE PIECE to the curtain rod ...

Or you can make a hanging composition not at the window opening ... and the little one… Hang spruce legs from above (directly on the wall) .. a beautifully lower the ropes from spruce paws with fancy balloons... and cookies. The main thing is to watch from time to time ... whether the decorating New Year's cookies have disappeared from the wall into the warm womb of your kids.

Well, now it's the turn of the candles ...

Compositions WITH NEW YEAR'S CANDLES.

Candles in the New Year are the main thing. Without them, New Year's Eve is no different from non-New Year's Eve. There should be candles - and they should flicker ... And what beautiful compositions can be made with them, we will now analyze ...

Can be taken a long plate (for example, a herring, if a fish is drawn in the herring, cover it with foil) ... Put the balls on a plate ... put candles in a row ... For extra style, you can cut one long candle into pieces of different sizes with a knife - AND ARRIVE IN ORDER from large to small to make steps ...

You can just randomly arrange candles on a table or mantelpiece (if you have a fireplace). And you can make beautiful candlesticks from ordinary glasses.

The tutorial here is simple... We buy in stationery a couple of cans of stained glass paint And one tube with a stained glass contour(the contour is a thick paste) ... On the glasses, draw cells with a contour (for example, square ones, as in the photo below). We let the contour dry - 4-5 hours ... and fill the cells of the contour with different colors of stained glass paint ... If the instructions on the package require baking, then we bake such a painted glass in the oven - the temperature is 120 degrees (average is obtained) ... 5 minutes.

You can decorate a New Year's candle GREENED with sequins or sparkling powder to decorate a manicure or beads ...

For this the surface of the candle must first be made sticky ... You can hold the right places over the fire ... so that the barrel of the candle heats up and begins to melt slightly ... And while the melted side is soft and sticky - pour the sprinkle on it - gently press down, pressing it into the soft side of the candle. It turns out an elegant decorated New Year's candle.

You can also have candles put on upside down crystal goblets... and below scatter imitation of snowballs. Do you know how to make snowballs?

How to make beautiful snowballs from felt or cotton.

There are two ways. The first way - cotton wool, put in a bowl with pva glue- and when she gets wet, we roll the ball with our hands - we put it to dry for the night ...

The second way is to buy felt for felting ... Pour soapy water into a bowl(we use any white soap) - tear off a lump of felt. We immerse it in soapy water - and wet a piece we roll into a ball ... The longer we ride ... the harder we press with our palms, the denser we get a felt snowball ball. As it rolls, you can add pieces of felt to it - if you want a bigger ball. They will stick to it - like clods of snow stick to a snowball. And we roll ... we roll. Children will love to roll such soapy wet lumps of felt.

Such lumps can be pierced with branches- and it will turn out like branches in the snow ...

And you can make FLOATING NEW YEAR CANDLES . They are sold as round candles... or triangular floating cone candles.

A container of water for floating candles can be decorated with beads, branches of flowers and shrubs. Such compositions look especially beautiful with red-style decoration (red berries, beads, candles) ... I collected a lot of ideas on red decor for the New Year in a separate article

Can do red apple candlesticks , and decorate with a ribbon and a sprig of evergreen fir. You can tie a candle with a bundle of reeds, or long caramel sticks.

You can put candles in small flower pots (as tiny as cathus) and decorate them with moss and cones.

And since we have already touched on the topic of moss, cones, it’s worth moving to a new paragraph ...

New Year's compositions - from NATURAL materials.

Can you make your own candlestick? from plump saw cuts of large branches or logs. In such a cut of the log, you need to make a recess (drill or slot) and insert a candle into it. You can paint such saw cuts with gold paint.

You can make a floral New Year's composition - simply by laying natural material on the bottom of the container, forming a dry bouquet or leaves, cones, herbs.

Can be used as a base beautiful wooden box... cover it with a lace napkin (or satin fabric) lay sprigs of needles, cones, Christmas balls ... And you can also make Christmas cones with your own hands - in a special article

Can it be made from natural material? make Christmas trees. Very simple Christmas crafts. When thin branches are glued onto a paper cone ... flakes of bark from a tree ... white airy flakes of cotton wool or white yarn.

SCALE compositions for home decoration for the New Year.

New Year's compositions are not only desktop ... You can make large decorative islands- placing them on the floor by the fireplace ... or in the corner of the room next to the Christmas tree ... on the flight of stairs ... or on the porch at the front entrance to the house.

Christmas composition can be made from the sled ... from the cart. You just need more spruce legs, red ribbons, Christmas decorations, cones and more ...

These are the ideas of how to make New Year's compositions for decorating your home for the New Year yourself.

The bizarre outlines of the branches involuntarily attract attention, and I want to capture this sophisticated beauty not only in memory or in a photograph, but also in real life. If desired, you can add an unusual decorative touch to the interior, making interesting compositions or creative products with utilitarian features. Crafts from tree branches is a great hobby that allows you to create beautiful decorative elements with your own hands without investing any financial costs. The interior of the house, decorated with this natural material, acquires a special sophistication, where everything is aimed at emphasizing its individuality. Before starting work, the blank for future crafts should be carefully prepared, taking into account the individual characteristics of the wood.

Crafts from branches - procurement of material

For creative activities to decorate the selected room (this may be, as well as and even), well-dried branches will be required. They are easy to pick up during forest walks, as well as pick up in a square or park. You can independently dry the branches that remain after sanitary pruning.

Before work, dry the material thoroughly for further use:

Inspected for cracks;
Cleaned from dust and dirt;
Exfoliating places on the bark are polished.

To exclude the appearance of unwanted larvae in the house, it is necessary to carry out disinfection using a weak concentration of potassium permanganate solution known to many. Depending on the idea, the branches can be painted in the desired tone, covered with stain or varnish.

Decoration of various items

Having brought home a bouquet, you can quickly make a creative vase using branches. For this, any suitable jar is taken - tin, glass, and pieces of branches are cut into pieces with a length slightly exceeding the height of the container.

They are placed close to each other in a vertical direction on the outer surface of the jar and secured by tying it with a beautiful braid or ribbon. You can plant branches with glue. Flower pots are decorated in the same way.

To make this wonderful vase, in addition to the glass base, you will need: a glue gun, dry willow or birch sticks, wire cutters.

Harvested branches must be cleaned of bark. It is better to do this when the wood has not yet dried up, so it will be much easier to remove the bark;
Next, using wire cutters, cut the bare branches into small pieces. Their size should be calculated based on the height of your workpiece;
After the material dries, we glue each stick to the base in such a way that a kind of crate is obtained;
It remains to give time for the glue to dry for 10-15 minutes. Congratulations, the branch vase is ready!

Crafts from branches will always find their worthy application in interior design of a house or apartment. Their shape and size can be completely different, because different materials can be used for their manufacture. Products made from bark, chips, snags, cut logs or large branches, etc. will look good. It all depends on your imagination and personal preferences.

The branches installed inside the glass jar in a continuous layer along the entire side plane will look no less original. So that they do not crumble in an impromptu vase, the bouquet should be quite voluminous.

For the products described above, you will need fairly even trimmings from the lower ends of the branches. The upper thin stems will help create a delightful evening with flickering candles. To do this, they are simply placed in a glass container so that they rise above it, pour no more than half the volume of water and lower the floating candles.

Charming compositions from branches

Trunks crowned with a web of thin twigs, placed at the head of the bed in a niche cut through one side of the coffee table top, will help to bring an unusual accent to a room, for example, a bedroom. In the dining area or study, a high floor vase will look elegant, in which, along with the branches, there will be dried cereals.

Bizarrely curved branched thin tree trunks are placed in a vase and decorated with decorative elements matching the color of the interior. It can be sparkling stars or snowflakes on the eve of the New Year, bright valentines on the eve of the corresponding holiday of lovers, or just butterflies with fancy ornaments on the wings, birds, flowers, fruits, leaves from any material at hand.

Having strengthened graceful branches on a velvet fabric, in color harmonizing with the general situation, and placing, after pasting on cardboard, the resulting composition in a wooden frame, you can get an elegant decoration of the interior.

A beautiful branch can be supplemented with golden bows, Christmas balls or forest cones. Such decoration will contribute to a good mood and cause only positive emotions. In addition, New Year's decorations will create a festive atmosphere on the eve of the main winter celebration.

Branches in the interior: a step-by-step master class

Tall shrub trunks (willow is most often taken) will allow in an unusual way. For example, to separate the sofa corner from the rest of the space in the living room. Such a partition is made very simply:

To do this, a wooden beam of the desired length is taken as a stand. You can use absolutely any type of wood.
In the beam, two rows of non-through holes are drilled in a checkerboard pattern, in which prepared branches are fixed vertically to the glue. In length, they should be about a meter less than the height of the room. The step depends on how openwork the resulting screen should be.
To make the product look stylish, it is varnished.

The current bedroom design ideas are endless - birch trunks in the interior are proof of this.

Trimmings of trunks with a diameter of 8-10 cm with strong branches extending upwards from the side at an acute angle easily turn into hangers dear to the heart. They can be mounted on the wall in the hallway, creating a natural corner with a specific purpose. Among the designer finds, you can find birch trunks that play the role of cornices and even racks near the bed for attaching a canopy.

The picture will be complemented by a coffee table, the base of which is a bundle of branches fastened vertically into a stable cylinder, and the tabletop is durable glass of round or oval shape.

You can make an option that is unexpected in effect by fastening the branches in the shape of a cube and laying it on the floor on the side face. A plastic or glass square tabletop is placed on top.

Wall mirrors are often decorated with branches. They can be glued around the entire perimeter perpendicular to the frame or along it. There may be many options. Craftsmen easily make frames for photographs, children's drawings, reproductions of their favorite paintings from scraps of thin trunks.

A gracefully curved thick branch can become the basis of a table lamp. A branch with many branches, mounted on the wall near the mirror on the dressing table, will allow you to easily place all the jewelry.

Such work requires delicate female hands and special attention.

Creative inspiration is the main stimulus for a person who wants to create beautiful crafts from branches with your own hands.

In spacious hallways, one wall can be turned into a fairytale forest by installing trunks reaching the ceiling behind a high plinth with LED lighting installed near the floor. This is one of the best ways to give your interior a scenic look. Both thin and thick branches of trees can be used as material.

Small products made from dried snags will look original. For a change, you can use tree bark and wood chips, combining everything later into a single composition.

We make decor from branches with our own hands

Crafts from branches are always distinguished by their originality and unique design. With the help of these uncomplicated sticks and twigs, you can create a beautiful author's decor on absolutely any subject. , paintings, wreaths, flower pots, bizarre animal figurines - this is just a small part of what can be created from this wonderful natural material.

Making a wreath from branches is probably one of the easiest tasks that even a child can handle. Take thin willow rods and twist them together into a tight ring, then carefully tie them with copper wire. As an additional decoration for a wreath, you can use tree leaves, flowers, forest cones.
You can revive an inconspicuous tree branch using ordinary snowflakes. Cut them out of paper, foil, or colored felt and hang them on each branch. Such compositions will look great in the house against the backdrop of a wall with beautiful wallpaper.
If you still have broken light bulbs, they can also be used as decoration. From a soft wire, make a special mount with which you can hang them on a branch so that the light bulb base is at the top. Further, through a hole specially made in the base, the light bulb is half filled with water. It remains only to give our miniature an elegant look. To do this, the branch can be decorated with decorative braid, ribbons and bows.

Despite the fact that the process of creating some crafts is quite long and laborious, the result of the work done will be amazing.

Material preparation. For each craft, we need 5 sticks. It can be branches of any tree, as long as they are even and have the same length. The material should be dried and varnished in advance, so your products will last longer. We also need a thread, rope or thin ribbon. With their help, we will tie the ends of our sticks.

spectacular cedar cones for decoration
open lush cones-Christmas trees

Having caught fire with the idea of creating an original festive composition for the New Year, you will have another wonderful reason to go with the whole family to the forest ... to hunt! Only we will hunt not for cowardly bunnies and other living creatures, but for all sorts of things: useful and useless, beautiful and wonderful ... everything that can be useful for our New Year's creativity. The walk promises to be exciting! At such moments, looking out for special twigs and cones, you feel like some kind of sorceress-sorceress, picking up magical components for her witchcraft rituals, or maybe like a kind sorceress or a forest nymph ...

If you are lucky, during the forest treasure hunt you will be able to get colorful clusters of mountain ash and viburnum, which the birds have not yet had time to feast on. Take a look around! Real treasures are right under your feet and under your nose! This, at first glance, the most ordinary and inconspicuous bump in your man-made masterpiece can become a Christmas tree or a funny hedgehog. A tinder fungus can make a wonderful vase-stand. Such walks are a great way to develop the imagination!

The basis for the New Year's composition can be dry branches, bark, decorative pieces of roots, cuts of tree trunks, knotted vines, metal pallets and trays, ceramic and glass vases, a frame made of wire or twigs, pieces of foam.

Sprigs of pine and spruce, mossy branches, dry branches of larch and linden, decorative branches of berry bushes with preserved fruits, dry roots, flowers and herbs, dried fruits, berries and vegetables, as well as fresh flowers - cut or in pots, are perfect for arranging, moss.

Of the additional materials, glue, nails, plasticine, sand, thin wire, needle holders, a floral sponge, test tubes, small containers, Christmas decorations and candles, satin ribbons, serpentine, rain and other tinsel can be useful.

It will not be superfluous to stock up on spray cans with silver, gold and white paint for New Year's chic-shine. You can gild and silver branches, cones, nuts, which, as if by magic, will instantly turn into something fabulous and magical.

In order to include fresh flowers in the New Year's composition - hyacinths, freesias, carnations or rosebuds, buy a piaflor floristic sponge or green floristic flasks in a flower shop, into which you can pour water and insert live flower stems or branches so that your the composition remained fresh for as long as possible and delighted you with its original appearance.

Winter floristry in New Year's compositions

Simple holiday decor

The simplest, but very warm and touching composition can be made from a decorative candle in the shape of a cone, surrounded by a round dance of beautiful natural smaller cones. To enhance the effect, the cones can be covered with golden or silver paint. If you want the buds to open up, hold them over the steam. If, on the contrary, they must remain tightly closed in a warm room, generously spray the buds that have not yet blossomed with strong hold hairspray. Cones and leafless twigs can be originally decorated in a snow-white winter style by dipping them in a hot saturated salt solution, then taking them out to the cold (you can go to a balcony or veranda) and leave them there for a day. Amazing metamorphoses will occur with cones and twigs - they will be covered with amazing sparkling "ice" crystals.

Christmas compositions with branches

If you don’t have any special outlandish materials at hand, and you don’t pull for forest treasure hunting or simply don’t have time, use dry branches painted with white or silver paint and decorate them with cute Christmas decorations. Who would have thought that dry bare branches could look so amazing in New Year's decor! From large branches, you can figure out a funky creative Christmas tree or an anti-Christmas tree. If you do not have a suitable stand or vase, you can use a regular glass jar. Put a piece of foam on the bottom to stick branches, and decorate the jar by wrapping it with a beautiful piece of fabric and tying it with a satin ribbon.

Delightful desktop masterpieces

The most popular are desktop compositions. They collect New Year's arrangements for the table on round or oblong flat vases that resemble ordinary plates. In the center of the vase, a pot with flowers driven out for the holiday (crocuses, muscari, hyacinths) will look great, or you can place a bouquet of fresh cut flowers on a needle holder. To make the composition harmonious, the highest element should not exceed 30 cm. Complement the New Year's arrangement with fir branches, candles, toys, silver rain and “hoarfrost” on the branches (crushed foam planted on glue). Holders and a pot with distillation are masked with moss.

In order not to be too smart, you can simply plant beautiful cones in pots and cover the “soil” with moss. Simply masterpiece!

Particular attention should be paid to the selection of a stand for the composition, since it itself can become a decorative element. For exquisitely solemn compositions, a glass or crystal vase or dish is ideal. Stands made of tree cuts, tinder fungus, or intricate roots and snags look very original. Under the stand, you can adapt the most unpredictable items, ranging from painted caskets and tureens, and ending with felt boots and vintage boots. If the stand has an unsightly appearance, it can be decorated with a cloth, sprigs of needles, fluffy rain, or sprinkled with foam “snow”.

Christmas bouquets look great in a stemmed glass vase. Branches are strengthened on a needle holder or on a moss pad. On the bends of the branches, candles are fixed with a wire. The wire is covered with moss. The bouquet is decorated with Christmas decorations, tinsel and flowers.

Pine and spruce twigs in New Year's compositions go well with fresh flowers. The most winning option for a winter bouquet is roses, chrysanthemums and carnations. If freshly cut flowers are used, most often the arrangement is complemented by a beautiful vase or vessel, which allows you to put the flowers in water and conveniently fix them. If there was no vase in harmony with the composition in spirit, you will have to put the flowers in an ordinary jar of water and skillfully mask it. Also in the flower shop you can buy a floral sponge and special cones, or replace them with small test tubes and medicine vials.

Sprigs of coniferous trees look great in winter bouquets with dried flowers: immortelle, astilba, yarrow, kermek, eryngium, physalis, mordovnik, cattail, nigella, flax and various cereals. Dried flowers are so spectacular and decorative that in a festive winter arrangement you can do without needles altogether, giving the role of the first violin to dried flowers. Even if you did not have time to prudently stock up on dried flowers in the summer, do not despair. Who seeks will always find! Go to any wasteland. Take a closer look at the blackened grass sticking out from under the snow - this is exactly what we need! Angelica, quinoa, reed, yarrow... Real treasures! Do not be afraid of their unsightly, far from festive appearance. Here is another opportunity to let your imagination run wild and turn on the wizard in you. At home, dry and transform the plucked herbs by painting with light gouache or tempera, silver or gild. It is more convenient to do this with a spray can, but you can get by with a regular brush. And you will be happy!

Light plant elements, such as dried flowers or small twigs, can be fixed by sticking them into special porous oases, a moss pillow, or regular foam. The foam is attached to the base with carpentry glue. Pieces of moss, tinder fungi and individual branches are fixed in a similar way. For massive branches, it is most convenient to use kenzan - a metal holder in the form of a lead plate with brass studs. If it is not possible to get hold of a real kenzan, at home it can be replaced with a large potato tuber, into which composite branches are stuck. If a wicker basket serves as the basis for the composition, its bottom should be lined with plastic wrap, and a holder should be placed on top and the bouquet should be carefully assembled.

Beautiful decorative candles will help to give the New Year's arrangement warmth and sincerity. They go well with needles, cones, Christmas balls, natural pebbles, glass, water. In the composition with candles, you can also use the original candlestick, decorating it in a festive way with beads and small New Year's toys. To create a fabulous unity of "ice and flame" will help candles, complemented by coniferous twigs, sprinkled with "snow" of foam or salt.

Figures of animals are appropriate in New Year's compositions - symbols of the coming year according to the eastern calendar. Soft toys with a long pile do not go well with fluffy needles, but porcelain, plastic, glass, stone and clay figurines will be very useful. The central element of the New Year's composition can also be a beautiful Christmas toy - a bell, a bird, a fish, a golden cone ...

Winter is often perceived by us as a monochrome season, where everything is filled with snow-white color. But in fact, this is a time of contrasts: white snow and juicy red berries of viburnum and mountain ash, purple beautiful fruit and rich greenery of conifers.

In winter, even the aromas are thicker and more intense. All this can convey your bouquet! Combine soft, airy cotton and cones, bright roses, oranges and spruce branches.

Combine elements that are opposite in texture, color and shape in a bouquet. What would be too much in summer will enrich the bouquet and create a mood in winter.

A real work of art! How could it be otherwise? Indeed, in a winter bouquet, not only flowers are often used, but also other natural materials that correspond to the season:

bunches of mountain ash, beautiful fruit, viburnum
twigs with fruits of the snowberry, barberry, wild rose
birch branches
dry flower pods with seeds, physalis
cones
bark and graceful tree branches
branches of conifers (spruce, juniper, arborvitae, cypress)
cotton bolls
cinnamon sticks
star anise
dried oranges
fruits and nuts
dry herbs
hydrangea inflorescences and other dried flowers

Your imagination can suggest the most unexpected options for the elements and decor of the bouquet. Choose something that will not freeze, will not wither quickly, which we associate with the winter season. For example, florists advise choosing flowers of dark shades for your bouquet, they are more resistant and even if the petals suffer a little from the cold, it will not be noticeable.

Rose, chrysanthemum, calla lilies, carnation, gerbera, tulip, gypsophila, freesia, hydrangea, snowdrop, cymbidium are ideal for a winter bouquet.

Additional accessories for the bouquet can be knitted elements, ribbons, lace, cords, buttons, foil, Christmas balls, beads, organza, figurines of angels and birds.

Bright, rich, and at the same time, a winter bouquet with piano roses, ilex, orchids and cotton.

This bouquet is made up of pine branches, "snowy" fir cones, brunia, thuja branches, snowberry and eucalyptus. Small flowers, reminiscent of cherry blossoms, look tender and light in a bouquet. The handle of the bouquet is decorated with handmade lace, twine and waxed cord with wooden buttons.

Interior composition will perfectly decorate your home on snowy winter days, complement the table setting and may well replace the Christmas tree. Use the advice of florists and create your own unique decorative object. So:

The winter composition will have a beautiful shape if you arrange the flowers in it at different angles and at different levels.

Any composition has a focus - a point that attracts attention (a bright flower, a large bud, a candle, a branch of the original form). It is not necessarily located in the center, but it is around it that the whole composition is built.

Choose a container for the composition, combined with the style of the interior.

If the composition will consist of fresh flowers, use a floral sponge. It will come in handy when creating a Christmas wreath for table setting.

As the basis of the composition, you can choose foam or plasticine. Such a base is suitable for New Year's compositions, when it is necessary to fix spruce branches, balls, animal figurines, garlands, and install candles.

For single cut flowers, you can use thin narrow vessels (test tubes) that are easy to fix inside the composition.

Use branches of different lengths (vine, wicker, tree branches and roots). With their help, you can add dynamics, direction to the composition.

For a New Year's composition, a stand in the form of a saw cut tree is perfect. The composition itself is installed on such a stand not in the center, but is shifted to one of the sides.

On a light background, a composition of bright and dark flowers will look good, on a dark background - a light bouquet.

It is not necessary to buy flowers for your winter arrangement. Most houseplants are great for making this. Moreover, many of them have a flowering period in the winter. Choose:

poinsettia (Christmas star)
Schlumberger (Decembrist)
hippeastrum, amarylis, wallot
orchid
chlorophytum
cyclamen
azalea

Fragrant, winter composition of scarlet roses and spruce branches with cinnamon sticks and orange.
