Someone is preparing for the New Year by decorating the Christmas tree with designer expensive jewelry, and some with cheerful multi-colored electric garlands and glass balls from the store.

Such Christmas tree decorations will undoubtedly make the New Year's beauty stylish and beautiful, but, unfortunately, they cannot compare with homemade toys. After all, the process of creating them not only increases the anticipation of the holiday, but also gives priceless minutes of communication to all family members.

There are a lot of options on how to make Christmas tree decorations with your own hands for the new coming year, but the most affordable and do not require special skill in making are New Year's toys made of paper. All you need is available materials that can be found in any home, a little patience and creative imagination.

The most common and universal toys for the New Year are Christmas tree balls. You can make them yourself from any thick paper: colored cardboard, colorful postcards or old magazine covers. Plain colored balls will give a uniform style to the room, while multi-colored ones will give an atmosphere of fun and fairy-tale magic.

So, before you start making these paper toys, you need to prepare the following:

thick paper with a design you like;
scissors;
PVA glue;
a compass or any object that, when outlined, can be used to reproduce a circle (jars, lids, glasses, etc.).

How to do:

Draw 21 identical circles on paper and cut them out with scissors.

Prepare the mugs as follows:

bend the circle in half twice (this is necessary to determine the center);
straighten the circle and bend one side so that the edge of the circle is exactly in the center;
bend two more sides of the circle to form a triangle with equal sides;
cut out the resulting triangle, which will act as a pattern for the remaining parts;
Place the triangle on the remaining circles, trace with a pencil and bend the edges outward along the lines.
Glue 10 circles together on both sides so that you get a strip: 5 circles on top, and 5 on the bottom. The strip must be glued into a ring. This will be the base for the ball.

Divide the remaining 10 parts into 5 pieces and glue them into a circle. The result was two “lids”.

Glue the upper and lower “lid” to the base in sequence.
The loop by which the ball is suspended can be made from a thread threaded through the top of the toy with a needle, or from a beautiful ribbon. The ribbon loop is secured with a knot and threaded through the top of the ball “lid” before gluing it to the base. The knot remains inside the toy, and the loop remains outside.

An original do-it-yourself paper toy for the new coming year is ready!

Volumetric snowflake

Another indispensable attribute of the New Year is snowflakes. They can be the simplest, cut out of a sheet of paper in a random design, or they can be voluminous using the origami technique. We suggest making the latest version of the New Year's snowflake with your own hands.

To do this, you need to cut out six squares of the same size, fold each of them diagonally, and then in half. Parallel cuts are made along the fold. The square unfolds, the inner tabs are wrapped and fastened together.

The outer petals are connected to the same petals of the remaining squares. You can attach them using either glue or a regular stapler.

DIY paper Christmas garlands

There are many types of garlands that are easy to make a quick fix, remember, we already wrote about how to make a garland yourself. So you can string scraps of multi-colored fabric onto a rope.

If you thread a rope through the fabric triangles, you get a great garland of flags! If you make pom-poms from fuzzy yarn and string them on a thread, you will get a garland that your child will just want to play with, it’s so cute and fluffy.

And when you tie the fabric strips onto a rope with bows, you get a very flirty garland. And the remains of old wallpaper can also be quite successfully used to create New Year's garland. And even if carved paper napkins fold in half, put on a rope, glue together at the corners, you will also get an excellent garland. You can get a vintage garland by cutting it from multicolored paper hearts and thread them with thread.

Don't believe me? Check it out: invite your friend to help you decorate the Christmas tree, and, as if in passing, make a garland of hearts together. See for yourself that pleasant consequences will not take long to arrive.

Such Christmas garlands with your own hands it is most convenient to make it from ordinary colored paper for manual labor, but it is better if it is bilateral. For example, you can take red, pink and white paper. The combination of these colors will create a very delicate garland ribbon. To make it you will also need: a pen, scissors, a ruler and a stapler. Strips are cut from paper, the width of which is 3 centimeters. In order for your child to participate in the work, you can draw each cut line with a ruler, and ask him to cut them. Then each strip is folded in half. The ends are bent and stapled to each other. The same actions are performed with each subsequent strip. Each heart is connected to the previous and next ones. Work continues until the desired length of the garland is obtained. And so that the hearts do not stretch while stretching the garland, you can pierce the heart at the base with a stapler. Here's a heart garland for you.

Besides all, or rather - most often, BALLS are attached to the Christmas tree as decoration. These traditional homemade toys come in a variety of varieties: glass, paper, foam. By the way, while a glass ball can quickly break, a foam toy is very easily scratched, broken, and crumbled. If you have such spoiled-looking balls, then you can very quickly turn them into real ones precious decoration, using a reel of small plastic beads and decorative cords for decoration - for example, milky white.

Tools you will need are a hot glue gun, scissors and tweezers. In this way, you can not only update old foam balls, but also decorate not very interesting plastic ones. And the diameter of the beads and cords used can be very different. But, naturally, it is better to decorate small balls with a thin cord and a string of small beads, and large toys can be covered with both large and small beads. Balls decorated with three cords or threads at the same time look even more original. First you need to unravel the finished garlands along separate threads. Then the cord is taken and its end is immersed in a foam ball using nail scissors or ordinary tweezers. A little glue is applied to the area of the ball near the place where the cord is attached, and the tip of a string of beads is attached to it. The next part of the ball is gradually covered with glue and slowly, layer by layer, beads and cord are laid until the entire surface is completely filled. The excess is cut off, the end of the lace is drowned in foam. At the end, using a thread and a needle passed through the cord, a loop is made for hanging the toy.

Often we do DIY Christmas toys FROM BEADS. It really makes very nice Christmas tree decorations that can be hung throughout the house, which will help create a great New Year's atmosphere; we have already written before how to weave a tree from beads. To make such charming toys, you will need red beads, ribbon and wire. So, beads are strung on wire, and then wire toys are formed from ready-made hard beads, for example, stars, hearts or Christmas trees. No special work is required, but if you hang such toys on the Christmas tree, after decorating them with ribbon bows, the result will be very cute.

Returning to the same balls, you can try to make Christmas tree decorations using the decoupage technique. To do this, you need an aged glass Christmas tree ball, sheets from a music book, PVA glue or a special one for decoupage, glitter and silver paint, a special stamp with an inscription on New Year theme, ink, a small bell, a ribbon for tying a bow, and thin twine for loops. Although all these components can be replaced with what you have on hand, leaving the main thing - a ball, glue and napkins. The technique for making the toy is very simple and does not require additional skills. First, a little white is laid out on the palette acrylic paint, then you need to carefully dab the sponge into the paint and apply whitewash to the entire surface of the ball. You need to constantly pick up paint on the sponge, then you get something like a snow coating. This way all the balls are prepared and left to dry completely. In the meantime, you need to prepare napkins. To do this, the top layer of the napkin, the most colorful one, is separated. Then PVA glue is diluted halfway with water and the motif is glued to the ball. Gluing begins from the central part of the motif with uniform advancement to its edges. All motives are attached in the same way. In general, everything is done in the standard way, as with any decoupage, just with more glitter and decorations.

Interesting balls are made from... book pages or, for example, pieces of felt. So, on the scraps of the material you have chosen, the contours of the circle are indicated (you can circle any household item, for example, a cup). By using sewing machine Approximately 10 circles are sewn together along the diameter. If you don't have a machine, you can use a stapler. The line should go exactly in the middle through the centers of all circles. The edges are connected with paper clips in a checkerboard pattern: sometimes there is one connection in the middle, then closer to both ends of the seam there are two connections. And so on. It looks like a book turned 360 degrees with oval pages, fastened in twos either in the middle or at the edges. This gives the paper toy a 3D effect. corrugated ball. At the end of the work, a loop is attached. Even such a toy can be hung on a Christmas tree, but it is better to additionally decorate it with sparkles and glue. It’s better, of course, if you have ready-made glitter glue.

The ball-web looks very unusual and elegant. To make it you will need a simple balloon, any thread, good glue (PVA is best), as well as your imagination and perseverance. Naturally, the ball is inflated to the required size (according to the volume of the future decoration), tied well and lubricated with ordinary oil. Then the thread is soaked in glue, excess glue is removed from it, passing the thread through tightly clenched fingers. Although you can make a special container into which glue is poured, and a small hole is punched in the lid. The skein is placed in a container, the tip of the thread is passed into the hole made and it is gradually pulled out, due to which it is dosed with glue. Then the entire ball is gradually entangled with this thread. In this case, you will have to stock up on considerable patience, since the first rows of thread can simply slide off the ball. The thread should be held in light tension (slightly tense). After winding is completed, the ball must be hung to dry. But you should not dry it with a hairdryer or over a heating radiator, as this may cause the ball to burst. The thickness of the thread can be selected at your own discretion. But there's no need to rush. Let the ball dry for a day, and then you will need to carefully pierce it with an ordinary needle and gradually remove the frame from under the threads. Frozen threads soaked in glue will hold their shape well. But that’s not all: the ball can be decorated, again, at your discretion.

How to make Santa Claus with your own hands?

To make a New Year's toy with your own hands, you can come up with something of your own, unusual and interesting. A decoration in the form of a felt lamp or a magical snowflake made of beads, shining like a scattering of diamonds, will look original. Or you can make a real SANTA CLAUS.

So, let's get started.

First, take a paper plate and paint it white with acrylic paint. After the paint has dried, a nose made from a ball of crumpled paper is glued to the back of the plate, which is covered with scraps of white paper according to the papier-mâché principle. Using the same principle, you need to make grandfather’s cheeks and eyebrows, and after the glue has dried, paint everything white.
After the nose has completely dried, you need to mix a little white and brown paint until you get a natural complexion. The resulting shade is applied to the plate. A little red tint is added to the cheeks and nose.
It is checked whether all the paint has dried, after which the facial features are drawn on with felt-tip pens. When a child doesn’t really like to draw or is not very good at it, you can glue the mouth and eyes from the same paper strands, paint them white, and then in a natural color: reddish lips and blue eyes.
Next, a hat is made from a red paper triangle.
Glue a small cotton ball onto the tip of the hat to make a pompom. After this, a wide strip of cotton wool is taken and glued to the lower part of the face. This is how you get the Santa Claus beard. To make eyebrows and mustaches, thinner small strips are taken that will imitate a chic mustache and bushy eyebrows.
After the glue has dried, the toy is ready!

Often we do DIY Christmas toys FROM BEADS. It really makes very nice Christmas tree decorations that can be hung throughout the house, which will help create a great New Year's atmosphere, we have already written before. To make such charming toys, you will need red beads, ribbon and wire. So, beads are strung on wire, and then wire toys are formed from ready-made hard beads, for example, stars, hearts or Christmas trees. No special work is required, but if you hang such toys on the Christmas tree, after decorating them with ribbon bows, the result will be very cute.

Returning to the same balls, you can try to make Christmas tree decorations using the decoupage technique. To do this, you need an aged glass Christmas tree ball, sheets from a music book, PVA glue or a special one for decoupage, glitter and silver paint, a special stamp with a New Year's themed inscription, ink, a small bell, a ribbon for tying a bow, as well as thin twine for loop. Although all these components can be replaced with what you have on hand, leaving the main thing - a ball, glue and napkins. The technique for making the toy is very simple and does not require additional skills. First, a little white acrylic paint is laid out on the palette, then the sponge needs to be carefully soaked in the paint and white is applied to the entire surface of the ball. You need to constantly pick up paint on the sponge, then you get something like a snow coating. This way all the balls are prepared and left to dry completely. In the meantime, you need to prepare napkins. To do this, the top layer of the napkin, the most colorful one, is separated. Then PVA glue is diluted halfway with water and the motif is glued to the ball. Gluing begins from the central part of the motif with uniform advancement to its edges. All motives are attached in the same way. In general, everything is done in the standard way, as with any decoupage, just with more glitter and decorations.

Decorate old ball new beads - great idea.

Beaded snowflakes are very delicate decoration.

If you want to make a ball for your Christmas tree out of beads, you don’t have to know how to weave, you can just stick the beads on.

Interesting balls are made from... book pages or, for example, pieces of felt. So, on the scraps of the material you have chosen, the contours of the circle are indicated (you can circle any household item, for example, a cup). Using a sewing machine, approximately 10 circles are sewn together along the diameter. If you don't have a machine, you can use a stapler. The line should go exactly in the middle through the centers of all circles. The edges are connected with paper clips in a checkerboard pattern: sometimes there is one connection in the middle, then closer to both ends of the seam there are two connections. And so on. It looks like a book turned 360 degrees with oval pages, fastened in twos either in the middle or at the edges. This gives the paper toy the effect of a voluminous corrugated ball. At the end of the work, a loop is attached. Even such a toy can be attached to a Christmas tree, but it is better to additionally decorate it with sparkles and glue. It’s better, of course, if you have ready-made glitter glue.
