Christmas paper decor. What can be done for the New Year with your own hands from paper: photo. Wicker paper balls

Time inexorably runs forward and now white flies are flying outside the window, slowly sinking to the ground and covering everything around with a snow-white fluffy veil. However, despite the cold, the soul is warm and joyful. And all because suddenly appeared snowflakes herald the onset of the New Year. The most important holiday of the year is already very close, which means it's time to think about New Year's decor, gifts and, of course, crafts.

The days are getting shorter and the evenings are getting colder and longer. What to do with yourself, and even more so with your little fidgets, when it is already too dark for outdoor winter fun? Well, crafts, of course. New Year's crafts can be made from the most unexpected materials: cocktail tubes and much more. But there are also more traditional materials, such as paper. In this article, we have collected for you more than 60 step-by-step master classes for making paper crafts for the New Year. If you still think that only applications can be made from paper, then drop everything and carefully look at our article! Well, for those who are looking for something unusual and know what miracles can be created from ordinary paper, we can only advise you to immediately begin the process of creating New Year's paper crafts according to our schemes and templates.

One of the simplest New Year's paper crafts can rightly be considered a garland. We all remember well from our childhood how they decorated the Christmas tree with such paper garlands not only at home, but at school or kindergarten. A paper garland is made very simply: colored paper is cut into strips of the same width, the first strip is glued into a ring, and each subsequent one is threaded into the previous ring and also glued. This paper craft is perfect for 4-5 year olds.

If the task of entertaining children is not worth it, but you need to decorate the house, then here's another version of a paper garland for your note. It is made even easier than the previous one, but you will need a sewing machine. So, to create such a New Year's paper craft, you will need: a lot of circles of different diameters (the number depends on the size of the garland), a sewing machine. Sew circles through the center on a typewriter and hang a garland. From any gust of air, such a garland will “come to life”.

So, if you decide that the issue with garlands is closed and there is nothing else to think of here, we hasten to upset you - this is only the very tip of the iceberg. Simple paper garlands are an activity for beginners. Professionals prefer more complex tasks, such as voluminous paper crafts. Below is a master class on making a volumetric garland in the form of light bulbs.

No bright balls from the supermarket, no lights flashing in different colors, no expensive designer sets for decorating Christmas trees can compare with DIY decorations.

Of course, such decorations from the supermarket will make the evergreen guest bright, modernly decorated, but they are unlikely to be able to carry the New Year mood so joyfully as the toys made on their own.

There are a lot of ways to make Christmas decorations, but the most simple, attractive and not requiring much time are toys made of paper. To create them, you may need quite a bit, improvised materials that are stored in every hostess at home. Stock up on a bit of patience and wings for a creative flight of fancy.

Christmas balls

What is the most common Christmas tree decoration? Of course, balls! You can always buy glass, plastic ones in the store, but we will try to make them from thick paper. This includes colored cardboard, old postcards and covers of unnecessary magazines. Colored cardboard balls, plain, will give the Christmas tree or the room that you want to decorate a single style, and multi-colored balls will bring the atmosphere of a holiday, magic and a winter fairy tale.

Before you sit down to make a new toy, prepare:

thick paper;
use old magazines, cardboard boxes or candy boxes with bright patterns;
glue, PVA is best;
scissors;
a compass or any other object that you can circle around to get an even circle.

Take your cardboard and circle twenty-one identical circles on it, then cut them out with scissors. Each circle is to be folded as follows: bend the circle in half twice, on one side and the other, then straighten it, this will mark the center of the circle.

Bend only one side of it again, so that the edge of the circle is exactly in the intended center. Bend again so the two sides, so you get a triangle. In one of the twenty circles, cut out this triangle, it will serve as a kind of stencil for the rest of the circles. All that remains for you is to impose a triangle on the rest of the circles, circle it and bend the edges of the circles outward along the office.

Take the first ten circles and glue them in a strip, alternating: five down - five up. Glue the resulting strip into a ring, this will serve as the basis for the toy.

Divide the remaining ten by five, and glue them into a circle. By gluing them, you will get two caps.

The top and bottom covers will be glued to the base in the same way. Consider a loop to hang your toy from.

Children can easily help you make such a New Year's toy: you will need scissors, colored paper, packing ribbons.

A great idea for a Christmas tree toy is a miniature Christmas tree made of paper. You can make it from thick paper or old postcards, and you can hang your masterpiece on a regular thread.

By the way, if you do not have a real Christmas tree, you can make your own magical Christmas tree. See the article for more ideas:

Large volumetric snowflake

Snow is obviously the most important attribute of winter, and a snowflake is the main decoration of the house for the new year. A snowflake can be cut out of paper, glued to a window, as is often done. What about voluminous snowflakes? It is as easy to make as it is to cut. To create it, you only need scissors, a stapler and, of course, paper.

Cut 6 squares of the same size, bend each square diagonally, and then in half. Make parallel cuts along the folds with scissors. Expand the squares, and wrap the inner stripes and fasten them together. The resulting petals are interconnected with a stapler, although glue can also be used. Such a large snowflake can be sprinkled with sparkles or assembled into a garland. You can decorate it with a window, walls or hang it under a chandelier.

What could be easier to decorate than large, voluminous paper candies? It is very easy to make them, for example, from old foil or beautiful wallpaper left over from the repair. Be sure to find paper with a bright pattern. And for this, you just need to measure a small rectangle, twist it into a tube, tie ribbons around the ends. If you are afraid that your toy will lose its shape, then twisting, you can put any unnecessary thing in the shape of a cylinder between the paper, for example, a cardboard cylinder from toilet paper.

Toys with family photos

Some types of paper balloons can be made using family photos. Such New Year's toys will be the most special, because the important and significant moments of the outgoing year will remain with you, and the next New Year's toy will remind you of pleasant moments again. By the way, do not forget about pets, let them also remain on your memorable toy, because a dog, a cat or even guinea pigs are also waiting for the New Year holidays!

Flashlights from childhood

What about flashlights? You must remember from childhood how to make paper lanterns. With a little imagination, you can easily come up with a new design for a simple flashlight. To diversify a very simple craft, you can decorate it with sparkles, make it from colored or printed paper, paint it with paints, add new details. Everything to your taste.

Christmas paper angels

What about New Year's angels? Do you also remember how to make them? Angels can be made from golden paper or newspapers by coloring or adding glitter to them.

Christmas paper cones

What is a tree without cones? You can decorate a Christmas tree with ordinary cones from the forest, but you can make your own magical ones. There are several ways to make paper cones: it all depends on your preferences, availability of free time and patience. The easiest option is a bump from old postcards.

Lace garland

Hello everyone. It's no secret that it is often more pleasant to be in a beautifully cleaned room than in it in its usual state. That is why in this article I will tell you about DIY Christmas decorations that will be relevant in 2020 and beyond.

Everyone knows the classic decorations for this holiday - garlands, balls, etc. But today we will plunge into the world of original solutions for this case.

DIY Christmas decorations for 2020: 100 simple ideas

If you want to properly prepare for the New Year, then for this case I have prepared for you 100 interesting ideas that you can easily do very quickly, but also use the most accessible materials.

What and how to decorate

As a bonus, I will give you a plan for decorating. It sounds scary, but it doesn't mean anything terrible at all.

This is the order I suggest:

Doors. Classics of the genre - Christmas wreaths. But in Russia, this is more of an adopted American tradition than a traditional New Year's decoration. In this case, you can decorate the door handles with pieces of garlands and lay out interesting patterns using them.
Window. Garlands on them, of course, can also be attached. But it is better to purchase special stickers for windows, or cut out traditional snowflakes by gluing them on soap. Also, so-called vytynanki can be made from paper - beautiful patterns and paper figures (snowflakes are a subspecies of this ancient Slavic art form). They can also be used for cabinets, especially with glass inserts.
Other passages and transitions. Once upon a time, curtains in transitions were popular, forming an air cascade of threads. So for the New Year, you can remember this good old fashion trend and make a kind of rain - hang a few garlands or threads with flowers, animals, toys, made by yourself or purchased.
Walls. It is impossible not to remember them) Of course, the garlands will serve well here too.
Ceiling. We also include chandeliers.

Decorations for the New Year from paper: master classes and photos

The first material for creating decorations for the New Year is, of course, paper and cardboard. After all, they are in every home, and it is quite simple to acquire an additional volume of this pliable material.

Paper decorations for windows with templates

Various types of window decorations are very popular in paper winter creativity. In the coming year, its symbol, the White Metal Rat, will play a special role. To decorate windows with these animals, I suggest you look at these patterns.

Want to bring good luck to your home? Cut out rats from white paper and add silver sparkles.

Here are the templates for the rest of the protrusions (namely, this is the name of window-winter paper art). Among them you will find snowmen, bluebells, snow-covered expanses with fir trees and much more. Cut with pleasure!

Paper cubes-boxes with Santa, Christmas tree and snowman

In fact, there will be even more of these original and creative cubes! Along with them, you will find little elves and a reindeer from Santa's cart. In these you can put small surprises for children or use as an independent decoration of the apartment.

Here is such a cheerful Santa.

Reindeer Rudolph, without which Santa Claus is nowhere.

Snowman looking forward to the New Year.

Decorated Christmas tree.

And finally, the elves helpers - three kind kids.

These boxes were created by a wonderful girl under the nickname hello happycrafts. Thanks to it, you can download the scans of these holiday boxes in a large extension, which will allow you to experiment with the sizes of the finished decorations:

Download box scans

Of course, it is best to print them on a color printer, and then cut them out. But if this is not possible, then you can stick elements of colored paper on a black and white printed scan.

Other paper and cardboard interior decorations

If you have heavy metallic cardboard, a few rhinestones, glue and ribbon, then create a deer pendant as shown below. The laconic design will appeal to those who do not like the abundance of details.

To make a whole interior composition, stock up on several deer of different colors and sizes. Fix them with zaponlak (in case of absence - PVA), sprinkle with sparkles.

From the same series, a patterned New Year's star. You can cut out both decorations if you save each of the options to yourself, and then print.

It is easy to make a fascinating garland out of cardboard. To do this, you just need to cut a few hundred circles and sew them on a sewing machine, connecting them in series.

If there is no typewriter or there is no confidence in the result, then slowly glue the circles to the thread to get the same garland as below. As a hanging ribbon, use a satin ribbon or a regular cord.

Another version of the garland with stars. The do-it-yourself technology is exactly the same as the first one.

A few snowflakes made using the quilling technique can complement the garlands. With such it will be easy to decorate not only the room, but also the school, classes. You can even devote a couple of labor lessons in elementary school to creating such snowflakes! After all, you only need to twist strips of paper, sometimes squeezing the edge, and glue them together.

Don't know how to bake Chinese fortune cookies, but really want to try your luck? Make them look like double-sided cardboard or thick paper. You only need to cut out a circle and fold it in a special way, putting a wish or prediction inside.

A small crepe paper decoration can be made by folding three green and red rhombuses into an accordion, and then connecting them with a ribbon.

If you want to make street lanterns, then I offer two options at once.

In the first of them you will need to fold the box using the origami technique. Such boxes can then be placed on a diode garland, creating an unusual diffused glow effect.

Fans of the exotic are waiting for the Chinese New Year's lantern. For him, prepare red and gold cardboard, floss threads, a gold marker and scissors with glue. Cut out the blank, as shown in the photo below. Circle the edges with a marker, make a floss tassel and gold cardboard cylinders on top and bottom of the lamp.

Such lanterns will decorate your garden or private house, becoming a highlight in the holiday decoration.

We decorate the house, kindergarten and school

You can decorate a room for a holiday in a variety of ways, from a wreath on the door to snowmen from cans with a variety of contents.

Made of felt and fabric

The most durable jewelry is obtained from these materials. Decorate the door with a winter wreath. It can be made from a base ring, terry yarn and felt elements chosen to your taste. Felt wreath details below:

three oak leaves
birdie,
three double flowers
three snowflakes,
cat,
additional accessories: snowflake sequins, satin ribbon, buttons, feathers, artificial twigs.

Funny deer made of fabric will turn out to be much more attractive if their legs and horns are made from twigs wrapped in threads.

When we talk about New Year's toys, we think only about Christmas toys. But these photo ideas are actually cute winter toys. Deer, bear cubs and penguin are made of fleece.

Insanely simple Christmas tree, the patterns of which can be removed directly from the photo. This can be sewn in just a couple of hours, and in a couple of days you can fill up the whole house with plush Christmas trees! Decorate it with braid, embroidery, buttons, rhinestones and more.

Burlap angels are even easier to make, they literally consist of two parts sewn together. It turns out interesting decorations in the "rustic" style, especially if you add natural material as a decor (dried leaves, flowers, etc.).

Launching satin ribbons

A very large number of New Year's decorations of a very different plan are created from ribbons. And both as an additional element, and in the main role.

The next option is suitable both for decorating a doorway and as an independent decoration (in case you have a large photo frame). You will need satin ribbons and empty transparent balloons that you can fill with whatever you like. The frame can be painted to enhance the festive effect.

The next wreath is suitable for both home and office space. In the latter case, you can choose a muted range of colors. To make one yourself, take two colors of satin ribbons and then follow the simple step below.

A small stylish Christmas tree that can be used as a hanging decoration in the car. A thick cord is taken as the basis, onto which ribbons are alternately tied.

For another Christmas tree, beads are also used. Lay the tape in loops, interspersed with beads and do not forget to put the entire structure on the thread.

Experimenting with other materials

Home decor knows no mercy! If you have a little imagination and patience, then the most unexpected masterpieces can be born.

To create such snowmen, you will need several jars (preferably plastic), which you can fill as you wish.

Do not connect banks to each other. Fill the snowmen with treats and stack one on top of the other. Now from such compositions you can help yourself.

Create snowflakes from plastic cans. Cut off the bottoms of a few pieces and paint them with acrylic paints. At the base, make fasteners so that these decorations can be hung above the windowsill or under the ceiling, or hung on a cardboard frame to get a Christmas tree.

From a wooden blank, you can quickly make an interesting decoration in the form of a snowflake by painting the tree with acrylic paints.

Crafts with embroidered elements always look unusual. To make the decorations below, you will need a plastic canvas that can be covered with a felt insert at the back. The scheme is easy to remove from the photo.

To create a ball with buttons, take a foam blank and all the decorative elements. Make a loop out of the string and glue everything else.

Beads and wire are great companions. With the help of them, with your own hands, you can create seemingly simple, but such cute pendants with which you can decorate windows and, in general, the entire space of the apartment. It is easy to make them - put on a piece of wire a sufficient amount of beads of the desired colors and bend into the desired shape.

An original idea for exotic lovers - a winter-style dream catcher.

Christmas tree decoration

Again, you don't need any special materials. As they say, everything that is at hand (well, maybe a little more).

Christmas balls

It turns out that Christmas decorations like a ball can be made from a large number of different components. For example, take a foam base and attach sequins to it with small pins.

Or finally get rid of the annoying disks and split them into many small parts, which are then glued to a transparent plastic base.

A ball of foil and cardboard also looks interesting.

Take a closer look at the New Year's ball of pompoms.

Without textiles, nowhere - it is easy to create a masterpiece from it with the help of simple patterns.

Plastic balls - a huge scope for creative imagination. They can be covered with a thread frame or sprinkled with sparkles or sequins.

I'll show you how to make a Christmas tree with your own hands - there are not many of them for the New Year.

Take the mesh, PVA glue, paper, pins and glowing garlands. Make a paper cone. Soak the mesh in glue and wrap this cone, securing the mesh with pins. Wait until dry, pull out the paper base. Everything, you can light inside the garland

For light bulb penguins, prepare old light bulbs, eyelet tape, acrylic paint, and a pencil to draw the outlines for this.

In general, all you need to do is paint the bulbs as you wish, attach loops and additionally decorate with various sequins, knitted and sewn elements, rhinestones, etc. Ready

The only negative of this idea is the need to get light bulbs somewhere.

Stars, stars

Prepare for the star thick paper, glitter (available in woven), tape for fastening and PVA glue. All you need to do is cut out a star, apply glue to it, attach a ribbon loop and sprinkle with sparkles.

What could be more pleasant on New Year's Eve (except for receiving gifts, of course) than to congratulate your relatives and friends beautifully? To do this, prepare felt, a base stick, glue, sequins, synthetic winterizer and threads with a needle. For wishes - beautiful paper and a pen.

Cut out two stars, from one of which cut off the edge. Sew a star along the edge, without sewing up the cut edge, stuff it. Decorate with sequins. Insert the rolled-up wishes into the hole left. Sew a stick at the bottom, sew up the hole.

Another variation of the star is from tree branches.

Macaroni will also serve as an excellent material.

And thread options.

We take another basis

Felt will help you create the most fabulous decoration. To do this, cut out the animals according to the pattern, which you can take from the photo, and sew along the edge.

If the feathers are covered in sparkles, you will get a cool decoration that is easy to hang anywhere in the apartment by a thread tied to the base.

A few more ideas for your creativity.

Decorations for the New Year's table

Of course, I also did not forget about the table for the New Year. Here are some ideas for you as well.

To do this, prepare a tin can, double-strand braid and braid with roses. Pins, glue and additional decorative embellishments will also come in handy. Wrap the jar with ribbons, fasten. Decorate with a bow.

To create a Christmas tree, you will need several woven or paper napkins. All that is required is to fold the napkins in four and fold them in accordance with the photo.

For decoration-candles, take simple candles and sequins. Sprinkle sequins in a candle, you can melt it a little for this.

For lamps from balls, a well-known technology is used by many. For her, you will need an inflated balloon, PVA glue and threads (preferably thick ones).

Draw a circle on the ball in the tip area (you will need it for the hole). Gradually wrap the ball with threads soaked in glue without closing the hole. When the structure is dry, pop the balloon and remove it.

You can find even more ideas for New Year's crafts in this article.

Food is the main decoration of the festive table. She can become cakes with winter patterns.

Without a doubt, the best gift is a handmade gift. But this does not only apply to gifts, but also decorations for a Christmas tree, a wall, a closet, etc. More on everything later in the article.

Snowflakes

The first and most probably simple is snowflakes, a symbol of frost. They are different. I'll start with the simplest option.

So, I will prepare:

Scissors.
Paper (a4 size).
Simple pencil.
Eight-beam snowflake

The blank is folded from a square sheet of paper, so I cut off the excess part.
Since the square is folded in half, we should get a triangle. We fold the resulting triangle in half perpendicular to the base. Then I fold in half again.

After that, I fold it again, and cut off the excess part. I outline the outline of the snowflake. I lay out the cut out - I should get a snowflake. And now let's make a six-ray snowflake.

For this snowflake, I need a square piece of paper. I fold a square sheet of paper in half. Then I fold the resulting blank, but do not fold it, but only compress it at the first fold, thus forming a notch in the center of the folded sheet.

In the same way, I bend the second corner, just make sure that the second corner overlaps the first. Next, I fold it in half along the vertical axis, drawn from the serif. After that, I take a pencil and draw the outline of a snowflake. Then I cut along the contour.

herringbone

What is the New Year without a green beauty? For our first idea, we need to make a paper cone. The “branches” for our Christmas tree will be roses made from napkins.

I fold each napkin in half, and then in half again. After that, I fasten it all with a stapler in the middle. After I fastened, I cut out a circle from a napkin. I need it to be multi-layered.

I take the top layer and twist it. This is how I do it with all layers. When I've done everything, I straighten a little rosette. Now you need to glue the cone with roses so that there are no gaps and bald spots.

Christmas toys made of paper

We turn to Christmas tree decorations made of paper. What kind of Christmas tree am I without balls, icicles, cones and other decorations?

So let's make Christmas decorations for our forest beauty, shall we? For this I will need:

Thick paper.
Old magazines, cardboard boxes and candy boxes.
Scissors.
Glue.
Compass.

To begin with, I take cardboard and trace twenty-one identical circles and cut out the resulting circles with scissors.

Each circle needs to be folded to me as follows: I bend the circle in half twice, on one side and on the other. After that, I unbend and outline the center of the circle. Then I bend again, but already on one side, so that the edge of my circle is exactly in the intended center. I fold it again on both sides. I should get a triangle.

In one of the twenty circles, I need to cut out this triangle, which will serve as a kind of stencil. Next, all we need to do is to impose a triangle on the rest of the circles, circling it and bending the edges of the circles outward along the contour.

Now I need to take the first ten circles and glue them in a strip, alternating: five down, five up. Now I need to glue the strip into a ring, which will serve as the basis of our toy.

Now I'll take care of the top and bottom cover. I need to glue them to the base in exactly the same way. And now it's time for the loop for which the toy will be hung.

flashlight toy

I'll start by taking two sheets of paper of different colors. For example, white and red. Next I cut out two rectangles. White will be 100 by 180. Red will be 120 by 180.

I'll start with red. I fold it in half and make cuts so that there is room around the edges. We do white in the same way as red.

Star

To do this, I need to prepare 10 by 10 squares. First you need to fold twice, and then fold diagonally. After that, I need to make cuts and fold into the corners. Next, glue the corner in the center.

Repeat the procedure with the second sheet of paper. Then we glue the two halves.

Charming ball

For this venture, I needed eight circles. Then I cut out two more circles, which should be half the size of the previous ones.

I folded each circle in half, and then in half again. Now you need to glue four large circles onto one small one. Next, you need to correctly position the quarters. We straighten the pockets that turned out. Now you just need to do the other half of the ball as well. It remains for me to glue the two halves and the ball is ready!

Candles

It is necessary to prepare two strips of paper approximately 20 millimeters wide and 30 centimeters long. I will also need red and yellow paper in order to make the "flame".

I glue the ends of the strips at right angles.

I fold the body of the candle from the strips so that they find each other.

I cut out the candle flame and glue it to the candle body.

Now you need to bend all the piles in half and collect snowflakes into a crystal. I tied the end of the workpiece with a fishing line. I need to make eight more. It's not an easy job, let me tell you.

One pack of strips must be bent and secured with fishing line, but already along the outer edge. It must be a circle.

I fasten all the crystals with hot glue to the prepared circle. Almost forgot. And four more blanks must be inserted into the gaps between the first.

I also fasten the side parts of the crystals.

Sprinkle with sparkles and the openwork snowflake is ready.

Do you think that's all? But no! Finally, I left the most interesting thing - a voluminous snowflake. Don't worry, it's very easy to make.

Option 1 volumetric snowflake

I draw a sheet of colored paper into rectangles measuring 5 by 6 centimeters. Next, we do it with white paper, but already rectangles measuring 3 by 4 centimeters.

After that, I take 3 by 4 rectangles and also twist the icicles and glue them onto a workpiece with large icicles. I glue a small circle with sequins and glue in the middle of the resulting workpiece.

Option 2 volumetric snowflakes

For this venture I will need:

Glue.
Scissors, stapler.
Stationery.
Paper.
I warn you right away that this snowflake is much more difficult to make than the previous one.

To begin, I will prepare a stencil. For the stencil, we need cardboard. We draw six lines on it at right angles. The lines should be 1 cm apart.

Now we have to bend six album sheets diagonally and make stencil cuts. I should end up with 6 triangles with cuts running parallel to each other.

After that I take one of the triangles and unfold it. That is, I should get a square in which even smaller squares are located. You have to start from the center. I turn the corners of the central square to the center. I glue it. I turn over to the other side and do the same as with the central square. In the end, I should get an icicle.

It remains the case for the small. Fasten all my icicles together and our snowflake is ready.

Option 3 volumetric snowflakes

For this option I will need:

A4 paper.
Threads.
Needle.
Red patch.
Stationery.

On a piece of paper I draw four circles, which must be of the same diameter. I cut out circles and outline eight equal parts. I make cuts along the marked lines towards the center. After that, I bend the tip of each such “petal” and glue it.

I do all the same manipulations with the rest of the circles and sew. The red patch is needed in order to complete the product. Cut out a circle from the scrap and glue it.

Having rummaged, again on the Internet I came across another version of a three-dimensional snowflake. This snowflake is made from strips of paper. So, I'll cut the paper into strips. The strips should be five millimeters and 21 centimeters long.

The snowflake consists of two halves. That is, for one half you need 10 strips. I glue the first two strips so that I get a cross. Then I glue two more strips.

Next, I pass two strips through the beam and glue. There should be two free stripes left. After that, I also do the second half. I fasten the halves with free strips and intertwine them with each other.

The New Year is wonderful not only as an opportunity to spend time with your closest ones, but also as an opportunity to enjoy the thrill of preparing for the holiday, creating New Year's mood and comfort in the house with your own hands. This article presents ideas for DIY Christmas decorations that will help you easily and with pleasure turn your home into the personification of fabulous comfort and get into the New Year mood to the maximum.

A little time, patience and good mood of the household - and the New Year's decoration of the interior with your own hands will appear in all its glory, even with the use of available improvised materials.

Craft ideas for creating a New Year's interior:

Snowman from an ordinary can. To prepare it, you only need a jar, dry branches and unnecessary buttons. All this is easily glued to the jar with Moment glue. Such a New Year's accessory can serve as a piggy bank, a container for sweets, artificial snow, cones and much more, which your imagination is only capable of.

Do simple Christmas tree decoration can be from ordinary plastic bottles. You can decorate the cut out bottom of the bottles with acrylic paints, as shown in the figure.

For creating funny penguins you only need a few bottoms of the bottles, affixed one on top of the other, as in the figure. We also paint with acrylic paints.

If you have peanuts in your house, you can make very simple and fun little people. For coloring, we use a marker, paints, various beads and everything we want that is at hand.

New Year's decoration from multi-colored threads. To prepare it, the bent wire must be wrapped with a strong thread and glued. Then we wind several more colors of knitting threads along the diameter. The shape of the decoration can vary depending on the desire: from the usual circle to the shape of a Christmas tree or a star.

Snowflakes with wire beads. For this decoration, we fold several wires into the shape of a snowflake, prick beads on them and glue them together.

Snowflakes from cotton buds. We make a ball from cotton wool or a cotton pad, roll it in glue with salt and fasten cotton swabs. You can take a regular snowflake ribbon by pinning it to the ball with a pin.

Christmas decoration from bottles. First you need to clean the bottle of excess labels. You can paint the bottle in any chosen color with spray paint, then dry it thoroughly and run it in glue with salt. You can add decorations with cones, ribbons and other decorative elements.

Christmas decorations: DIY snowflakes

The most popular and easiest to prepare is interior decoration with snowflakes, cut out from plain paper with your own hands.

You only need two things to make them: scissors and thin sheets of paper of the desired size.
You can use stronger paper, but then it will be much harder to cut when folded. If a child takes part in the manufacture of crafts, it will be unbearable for him to cut a snowflake.
Ordinary napkins in different colors and thin fabrics can also become an alternative to thin paper. For the manufacture of any snowflakes, a sheet of paper is usually folded in the same way, they differ only in the shape of the cutout at the final stage.

How to fold a sheet of paper for snowflakes:

Fold a sheet of paper into a triangle shape, cut off the excess edges with scissors. In expanded form, the sheet should be obtained in the form of a square, if it is so initially, this stage is skipped.
The resulting triangle is folded into an even smaller one at the far corners.
Once again, fold the triangle into an even smaller one.
We make a blank from a triangle, as in the photo. Cut off the excess edges.
On the resulting blank, draw the contours with the pattern of snowflakes presented below. We make a cut along the drawn lines and unfold the finished snowflake.

DIY Christmas decorations on the windows

You can also create a New Year's mood with the help of a popular method - decorating windows to match the style of the holiday. In addition to the usual garlands hung on the windows, there are many simple and affordable decoration options. Let's consider some of them.

paper cut snowflake decoration

Schemes and stages of work on the creation of snowflakes are provided above. To glue a paper snowflake on the window, you need to lightly lather it from the mounting side, straighten all its edges and attach it to the glass.

From snowflakes, you can form various compositions, for example, a Christmas tree:

Decorating windows with toothpaste and soap

To do this, we need ordinary toothpaste and a piece of foam rubber rolled up into a tube and sealed with tape. Dip the toothpaste into foam rubber and smear glass or mirror with it. You can draw anything: from Christmas tree branches to animals.

You can come up with drawings yourself or buy ready-made or cut-out stencils from paper. After the paste dries, we make the contours of the image clear with a pencil.

Another method for decorating windows with toothpaste is snowflakes in negative image. To do this, glue a snowflake cut out of paper on the window and wait until it dries. In a container, dilute the toothpaste with water and use a toothbrush to spray it on the glass near the snowflake. After drying, remove the snowflake from the window.

Drawings on the window, made with ordinary soap. All it takes is a little imagination, desire and creative inspiration.

Window decoration with New Year's toys and ribbons

We fasten the balls to the window to the desired length with the help of threads or ready-made tapes. The length, quantity, shape of the balls can vary depending on the imagination and wishes.

Decorating with New Year's drawings using ready-made stencils
