Such a grandfather, according to our tradition, should be placed under the New Year tree. And although the figurine is not functional, it is an invariable attribute of the New Year holidays, which accompanies us from childhood.

This is a figurine with many details. How easy it is to make a small Santa Claus can be read in the article "". There, the character is made in the form of a Christmas tree toy, it is done much easier and faster.

For work you will need:

white and colored paper;

2 cotton pads;
toothpick;
simple pencil;
scissors.

How to make Santa Claus out of paper

From paper of a suitable color, twist the cone, glue the edges so that the cone does not open. Trim the bottom edges and straighten the shape. This will be the grandfather's face.

From a whole sheet of red paper you need to make a grandfather's dress. Lay the sheet horizontally in front of you, then place the previous cone approximately in the middle on top and wrap it so that you get a hole with a diameter like the bottom of the cone. I can not explain otherwise, in practice everything is easier than in the description. Glue the joints of the figure, and trim the bottom.

From red paper we make hands of Frost. From two identical pieces of paper, you need to roll 2 identical narrow and pointed cones. Glue a strip cut from a cotton pad divided into 2 parts along the edge of each sleeve.

Glue the sleeves to the dress. We coat the bottom of the cone (head) around the entire circumference with glue and insert it into the dress from the inside. So, it turns out that the lower part will remain inside the dress, and not outside.

From the second half of the cotton pad, cut a small circle, as in the photo. We do not need a circle, but what is left is the collar of the dress.

Glue the collar. We cut strips of the same width from a cotton pad and glue them along the bottom of the dress, as well as in the middle up.

We make several strips of the same length and cut the fringe with scissors, approximately the same width. The fringe needs to be wound around a toothpick or pencil to make a bend or curl.

We glue the hair and beard of Santa Claus from the fringe. We make a hat from the cone and glue it along the edge with a strip of cotton pad. If the character's head turned out to be too elongated, you can cut it off and glue a hat on top.

We cut out mittens from red paper and glue them on strips of paper. Glue the strips inside the sleeves and you're done. If desired, you can glue the rectangle and crumple it along the edge, forming a bag. Glue any figure on a toothpick on both sides and make a staff, which is then glued to your hand.

The finished character needs to draw a face, and the nose can be glued from a cotton ball painted red, or you can simply draw it.

The new year is already very close, there is nothing left. Everything around is immersed in New Year's decorations. Well, we are increasingly immersed in the pre-holiday fuss. And time is running faster than that. You will not have time to look back, and on the threshold it is already New Year, and Grandfather Frost with a bag of gifts for children. But there is still time before the chiming clock.

In the meantime, adults decide on gifts and make up holiday menus, and children are waiting for gifts from Santa Claus, it's time for those who love creativity to get down to business.

A white triangle should be placed on the top of the video - here will be the face of Santa Claus.
With a black marker, draw boots on the lower corners of the cone and a belt around the cylinder.
Draw the character's face. Fasten a loop between the upper corners of the cylinder for hanging the toy on the Christmas tree.

This will require:

1 sheet of white paper;
1 sheet of red colored paper;

a bead or small pompom in gold or white.

Draw a circle on a sheet of red paper. The desired height of the future figure should be equal to the radius of the circle.

On the oval draw the face of the character, glue the red nose and white mustache. Complete the finished figure with a bead or pompom at the end of the cone.

Santa Claus - box

A figurine of Santa Claus under a decorated Christmas tree is a traditional element of New Year's celebrations. To diversify the festive interior, as well as to pleasantly surprise everyone who looks under the Christmas tree in search of gifts and sweets, an unusual Santa Claus, made in the form of a box with a surprise, will help. Even one candy or a small souvenir hidden inside the box will bring joy and a sense of celebration to the child who finds it.

Crafts from ready-made templates and stencils

The main New Year's character made by children for their loved ones will be the most expensive and desired gift. To make these, just print the templates on thick paper. A large selection of options will allow you to make several crafts that are different from each other, which will undoubtedly come in handy for a joint or in a large company.

Many characters can be made from strips of paper, but on the eve of the New Year, I recommend making Santa Claus. The work is not difficult, but for children it is also useful. I have used a similar technique more than once in creating crafts, for example, this or. But still, as always in detail, I will describe the whole process in this review.

Main materials:

Cardboard white, red, yellow. I used some blue cardboard for mittens, but my daughter criticized this case, she said that it would be better with red.
Glue. Basically, a glue stick was used, and PVA was needed when gluing two balls together.
A simple pencil, scissors, ruler.
Moving eyes, pompom. I just didn’t have it, so I cut off a piece of foam. You can also use foam rubber for these purposes, if there is a white color.

Santa Claus from strips of paper step by step

Making paper balls

Santa Claus consists of two paper balls: the lower ball-body is larger, and the upper ball-head is smaller. To make one ball you will need 4 strips of paper, 1-1.2 cm wide.

Trace the paper with a pencil and ruler and cut 4 strips long and 4 slightly shorter. The sizes are arbitrary, depending on how you see your character. Twist the strip into a ring and determine the approximate size.

The strips stick together exactly in the center. Therefore, to determine exactly where the middle of the strip is, bend it in half, but do not press hard.

Take two strips, glue them together crosswise.

Glue the middle of the intersection of the strips with glue and add another transverse strip.

Glue the last strip, and you should have such a snowflake.

Apply glue to the tip of one of the strips and glue it to the opposite.

Glue two more to these two. Try to make all sides the same, do not tighten the strips too much. But they should not sag too much either.

Then the next two. Do not forget that it is more convenient in this case to lubricate the tip of the strip with glue, and not the middle.

Glue the last two strips and you will have a ball. I made two balls at once - a large one and a small one.

Glue the balls together, small, naturally, on top. Here I needed PVA glue, since the pencil did not hold together well. In order for the head and torso of Santa Claus to be well fastened, you need to stick your fingers between the strips, press and hold for a while. If the head is very small, this can be problematic. You can use a pencil or, in extreme cases, glue the balls with glue-moment.

The main part of the work is ready, now let's move on to creating the face.

Create the look of Santa Claus

Draw and cut out a beard and mustache from white cardboard. They can be anything. You can draw them straight, just rounded, as soon as fantasy tells. Also cut out a small circle from red cardboard - a nose and a yellow semi-oval for the face. If there are no ready-made eyes, make them from white and black paper or just draw.

Glue the yellow face, mustache, nose and eyes onto the beard.

Glue the resulting shape to the top ball.

Cut out the hands and mittens.

Attach your hands and pom-pom to the craft and Santa Claus from paper strips is ready. They can decorate the Christmas tree, if you tie a thread, or any surface in the house. In case of instability of Santa Claus, cut out a circle of paper from red cardboard and glue it from below to a large ball.

We continue to decorate the Christmas tree with handmade crafts. This time, Santa Claus is again in the lens. It is made of paper and cardboard, or rather from a cardboard cone. It’s easy to do, and kids in kindergarten can do it if you prepare cones for them in advance.

Master class on how to make Santa Claus from a cone

For crafts, we need: colored cardboard, white paper, string, compasses, scissors, pencil, glue, felt-tip pens.

We make a cone from red cardboard. To do this, draw a semicircle with a compass, cut it out. In order to later hang the toy on the Christmas tree, we need to glue the loop in the very middle of the straight side of the semicircle.
