Gift to Santa Claus
New Year is coming
Everyone is waiting for it!
Frost brings gifts to everyone,
But no one will ask him
And no one notices
Maybe grandpa is dreaming
Get a gift too?
Seryozha ran up to him,
Divides the gum in half:
-Here, take this for you!
From attention and gift
Grandpa even got hot
He smiled at Seryozha,
And Santa Claus suddenly became younger!
Here is an invitation to take part in the New Year's competition prepared for parents.

Good Santa Claus accept gifts!

There is no doubt that Santa Claus is the main character of the New Year celebrations. It is his miracles and gifts that children are waiting for, they send letters, postcards, and under the tree for a fairy-tale wizard, a return children's gift is often hidden - a New Year's craft. Santa Claus himself often becomes a character embodied in various types of creativity.

DIY origami

A person who is fond of origami will not have questions about how to make small paper figures in the form of Santa Claus. Having chosen the simplest and most understandable option among the proposed schemes, even an inexperienced person in this type of creativity can make a New Year's paper figurine. Santa Claus, made with his own hands from a small piece of colored paper, will be an excellent addition to the main gift or postcard, and will also be a wonderful sign of attention.

Felt crafts

Felt is a very practical and convenient material for creativity. Felt toys are not only colorful and pleasant to the touch: due to the fact that the details of the pattern can not only be sewn on, but also glued to each other using hot glue or a glue stick, the creation is also suitable for children.

In order to make felt Santa Claus with your own hands, you will need:

red felt:
flesh-colored felt;
white felt;
floss white;
needle;
synthetic winterizer or cotton wool;
pencil;
scissors.

Progress (step by step):

Print or redraw the product pattern on paper, cut out the details.
Bend the red felt in half, use a pencil to transfer the largest detail of the pattern (in the form of a drop) onto it and cut it out. Sew both parts of the part together, leaving a centimeter segment unsewn. Through the resulting hole, fill the product with padding polyester or cotton wool (for convenience, you can use a pencil), and then sew up the hole.
From flesh-colored felt, cut 1 piece in the form of an oval. This is the face of the future figurine. After placing the part in the desired place, attach white felt parts on top of it: a beard and a cap frill. The frill should be stitched around the entire perimeter, and the beard should be sewn only in the place of its contact with the face of the figure.
Cut out the remaining details from white felt: mustache and pompom hats (2 pcs.). Sew the mustache over the beard, sewing the detail along the top edge only.
Cut out a small circle (nose) from body felt and sew it over the mustache.
Insert the end of the Santa Claus hat between the two parts of the pompom and sew them together.
Embroider or draw eyes. Fasten the thread in the form of a loop.

Various decorative elements will decorate and diversify the craft. Santa Claus can be made not only in the traditional red and white colors, but also have a blue or green suit.

bottle decoration

It's no secret that the most versatile New Year's gift for people not close to you is champagne (or other alcohol) and chocolate (or sweets). The original Santa Claus, hand-sewn from colorful materials, will make the gift unusual and memorable.

Making crafts from bottles is also suitable for younger kindergarten groups: for this, it is enough to fill transparent bottles with red paper, glue a cotton beard and plastic eyes on top and complete the image of the main New Year's wizard with a red sock or paper cap imitating the character's hat.

Craft from cotton pads

Cotton pads and cotton wool are the easiest material to work in kindergarten. Children can stick cotton pads (or balls) on templates prepared in advance by adults or make crafts exclusively with their own hands, first painting it and then decorating it with cotton wool details. These can be snowflakes cut out by a figured hole punch, Father Frost's wadded beard, as well as details of his costume.

Identical templates, decorated with details of cotton pads and cotton wool in accordance with the tastes and skills of each child, will be wonderful and unlike gifts that children can take home and give to their loved ones.

For creativity in older groups of kindergarten, more painstaking and complex work is suitable - creating crafts from cotton swabs. Sticks fastened with glue will be a good building material for creating fabulous winter landscapes.

Santa Claus from plasticine

For children of older groups of kindergarten, as well as for younger students, modeling from plasticine will become easy. Depending on the child's skills, you can choose step-by-step instructions for products of varying degrees of complexity: from the simplest to figures with a large number of small details.

Santa Claus from plasticine will become the main character of fabulous winter scenes and New Year's stories.

Figures from threads

Creating a fairy-tale character from woolen threads is a laborious process that requires not so much special needlework skills as it takes a lot of time and painstaking work. However, the resulting figurines have a very "homey" feel to them, evoking a sense of cosiness and warmth.

Santa Claus from paper

Paper crafts are extremely diverse not only in type, but also in the types of techniques used in the process of their creation. Paper of only two colors (green and red), twisted and fixed in the form of cones and supplemented with small details (a face with a beard, Christmas balls) will become the basis for creating a beautiful Christmas tree and Santa Claus. This idea is perfect for co-creation with a large number of children.

Printed on plain paper or redrawn and cut out of cardboard, templates depicting the New Year's wizard, as well as his beautiful granddaughter, will give the child the opportunity to prepare small and different gifts for their loved ones.

The closer the New Year, the more often we think about decorating the house for this wonderful holiday. Santa Claus do-it-yourself crafts - new ideas with photos will help you create bright and interesting accents in your home.

Santa Claus FROM PAPER

Having made such a wonderful toy, you can hang it on a Christmas tree or decorate a room by making a garland.
What will be needed? Double-sided colored thick cardboard (or paper), wooden red beads (can be replaced with a tube), a bead, a needle and thread, a pompom and a thin ribbon, scissors, glue.
As you can see in the picture, the Santa Claus craft consists of two balls. To make a body with your own hands, you need to cut 6-8 strips 1.5 cm wide and 26 cm long. For the head, you should take 5 narrow strips 1 cm wide and 16 cm long.
To collect the ball, lay the strips in a circle - make sure that they divide it into equal parts. They should lie so that their ends intersect. To achieve this, we recommend using a template. Now we make out the bottom of the ball - we pierce the junction with a needle and thread, we fix the bead.

Next, we make the base, to which we firmly attach the free ends of the strips. In the original version in the photo, these are wooden red beads, but they can be replaced with a cocktail tube. The length of the beads should be half the length of the strip.
Having made two balls, cut out stencils of the face (1) and hands (4) from paper. We attach a pom-pom to the head. The figure shows two options for crafts Santa Claus - with legs (2) and without. Choose the one you like. An interesting addition will be a gift bag made using the same technique. Top stencil under number 3.

FATHER FROST FROM A BOTTLE

New ideas with photos help to take a fresh look at already familiar things. From an unnecessary plastic bottle, we will get a cute Santa Claus. And not alone - a hare will keep him company.
What is needed for this? Bottle, acrylic, paint, knitted scarf and headband.
To make the figurine stable, fill the bottle. You can either not empty it before work, or fill it with cereals.

After the bottle has been cleaned of the sticker, rinsed and dried, coat it with a white acrylic primer. When it dries, start painting the bottle with colored acrylic.
So that Santa Claus, made by himself, does not freeze, it is worth putting a scarf and a “hat” on the painted bottle. If you make a hare, then the ears for it can also be cut out of an unnecessary plastic bottle.

Crafts Santa Claus FROM WOOL

In order to make crafts from cotton wool, you need a paste - 1 tbsp. mix a spoonful of starch with water until a creamy state, pour boiling water into the resulting mixture, stirring constantly. When the mixture becomes clear, it is ready to use.

Now we dip the cotton pads and cotton wool into the paste and form the details of the future figure - two cones from cotton pads (these are hands), cotton balls - one large and two smaller ones (these are the head, nose and pompom).
Prepare a small bottle - for example, from drinking yogurt. It will become the body of Santa Claus, so you also need to glue cotton wool on it.

The formed parts will dry during the day, then they are painted with gouache. After the paint dries, we attach the finished parts to the body, add the finishing touches - sleeves, collar, mustache, beard and everything else with PVA glue. The eyes are painted with gouache.
Additionally, make Santa Claus a staff and a bag with gifts.

FROM MACARON

Here is such a funny decoration for the New Year's table made by hand. Of the materials you will need noodles, vermicelli and olives. And a flat surface on which the craft will settle down.

The cooking process is simple - boil the noodles and put them on a dish, creating a New Year's look. If you do not find colored noodles, we advise you to color the usual one.

FROM PALM

How do you like such a new idea as in the photo? You can literally make crafts with your own hands.
What you need to make such Santa Claus, which will become an interesting decoration for a postcard: red and white fabric, a postcard with the image of Santa Claus.

As you understand, everything is simple - you just need to circle your hand and cut out the resulting outline from the fabric. Next, we add the figure of the main New Year's Grandfather from the pieces and attach the head cut from the picture on top.

FROM A BULB

To make such a decoration, you need to paint the light bulb with white paint in two layers.
While the paint dries, start modeling from mastic (salt dough is also suitable) a round flattened ball - this is the nose of the figure. And sew a hat so that Santa Claus is not so cold.
If the paint is dry, then it's time to glue the finished nose into the area of \u200b\u200bthe future face. We advise you to do this with the help of a “hot gun”.

Now we begin to draw with a simple pencil the contours of the face, eyes, eyebrows, mustache and beard. Now you can paint over the rest of the body with red paint.
Now let's start painting the face - do not forget to add glitter to the eyes. To make the painted parts look voluminous, we recommend drawing them with a contour.
Now we put on a hat (to keep it securely, fix it with a hot gun). Sew a thread to the hat so that the toy can be hung on the Christmas tree.
Additionally, it is worth using a thin brush with black paint to draw the details of the toy. And don't forget the glitter!

FROM THE SOCK

An amazing craft, real Santa Claus can be made from ordinary socks!
First, let's take a white sock - this is the body of the toy. Cut off the unnecessary, leaving only the length that is convenient for you.
If in the end you get, for example, a cropped top, then carefully sew or tie the bottom - so that you get a "pouch". If you bandage, then turn the sock inside out, so the toy will become stable.

The blank should be filled with cereals or cotton wool. We fix the top with an elastic band. Father Frost's fur coat is made of another red sock. Usually the lower part of the sock is used, in which case the part that used to wrap around the fingers will become a hat, and the rest will become a fur coat. Mittens are made from parts of the bootleg.
With the help of cotton wool, the crafts are decorated - they make a pompom, a beard, the edges of clothes. With our own hands we make a bag and a staff. Don't forget the eyes and nose! They are made with beads or buttons.

We hope the photos from this article gave you new ideas for creating crafts for the New Year, which is just around the corner. We wish you good luck!

Do-it-yourself voluminous Santa Claus

You can fold a three-dimensional figure of Santa Claus using the modular origami technique, which has become very popular in the last ten years.

The assembly of the product is carried out from the same modules, which allow you to create any shape.

For example, for Santa Claus, we need 493 identical modules (1 red for the nose, 275 white, 198 blue, 19 flesh). Each module is assembled from a rectangular piece of paper measuring 37 * 53 mm, or 1/32 sheet.

The module creation technique is as follows:

Having added the required number of modules of a certain color, you can go directly to the assembly
At the base of 25 BM (white modules) placed on the short side in a circle
In the second row, put 25 BM in the same way as in 1, but on the long side and put on 1 row.
The third row repeats the previous one
In the fourth row, put 25 cm (blue pieces) on the long side
Fifth row: 22 cm on the long side and 3 BM on the short side, turn the ring inside out
In the sixth row 4 BM and 21CM, all with the long side out

Santa Claus on the Christmas tree with his own hands

On the New Year tree, among other toys, there must be Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden. They can be made from felt or cut out of colored paper to make an appliqué.

Also an interesting idea is to make Santa Claus from beads, you only need a fishing line and white and red glass beads. String the beads according to the pattern, and at the end make a loop out of the remnants of the fishing line.

Santa Claus from balloons

A very convenient and compact option for later storage is Santa Claus from balloons. You will need white and red balls for the coat and hat, pink for the face, and black for the shoes.

Inflate 31 red and 11 white balloons of the same size and place them in the shape of a cone, so that in the first row there are 6 white balloons, in the second and third 6 red balloons each, in the fourth 4 red 1 white, in the fifth 5 red, in the sixth 5 red, in the seventh 5 red, in the eighth 4 white.
Inflate a large beige or pink balloon, this will be the head.

From the finished dough, fashion the base in the shape of a cone.
Fashion the sleeves and handles and glue to the cone
From two long strips of dough, form a lapel and a hem of a fur coat
Shape hats and noses from small balls of dough.
Add a beard and mustache, eyebrows

Santa Claus made of wool

The felting technique allows you to create real masterpieces from ordinary wool. To felt Santa Claus, take flesh and white wool, felting needles, red felt for a fur coat, wire, beads and glue.

From flesh-colored wool, knit a shape in the form of a cone, on which a ball is put on. The cone is the torso, so add a slight roundness on one side, this is the solid belly of Santa Claus.
Cut out a fur coat for Santa Claus from felt and sew it right on the base.

From the remnants of the red fabric, sew a small cone-shaped hat.
Felted flagella from white wool so that they turn out to be fluffy on one side, put them on a sponge and use a needle to drive them into the sponge. Glue the finished flagella to the fur coat with glue along the hem and collar.
From the remaining white wool we form a beard and mustache and attach them with a needle.
Glue eyes and nose
From the wire, measure the required length for the handles, wrap the wire with red felt and glue it on the ends of the mittens. Insert the open end of the wire into the body.

Santa Claus in the technique of plasticineography

The most classic material for children's crafts is plasticine. To make a craft using the technique of plasticineography or drawing with plasticine, we put a background of plasticine on a cardboard base.

We attach a fur coat of Santa Claus from red plasticine.

From plasticine we sculpt and fix the grandfather's head in its place.

We make a cap and hair: wrap a piece of synthetic winterizer with red chenille wire, give it a spiral shape, decorate the tip with a white pompom.

Glue on the pompom nose. We make a belt from a black lace, and a buckle from a tin can opener.

Santa Claus from a cardboard roll and fabric

For crafts, we need: a cardboard roll, fabric, cotton wool, glue, scissors, a button, red beads and factory eyes. We wrap the sleeve with a red cloth, immediately form a cap from it. We make a face out of cotton.

Glue on the eyes. We make cheeks and a nose from red beads. It remains only to attach the pompom to the cap and decorate the grandfather's suit with buttons.

Santa Claus from a cork with his own hands

You can make a three-dimensional figurine from a wine cork. We paint half of it with red paint.

Cut out a circle from felt.

We cut the circle into three sectors.

We make a cap out of felt, immediately gluing a loop to it.

Glue the cap to the cork.

We draw eyes and a nose. We glue Santa Claus's beard. We make an edge of cotton wool on the cap.

Santa Claus from traffic jams - ready!

A very cute New Year Santa Claus pendant is obtained from a painted cone.

Santa Claus, made from a child's hand, will leave a touching memory of a small child's hand. For crafts, we need to make salty dough, which we roll into a layer of medium thickness. We attach the pen and cut out the contours of the palm with a stack. We make a hole in the upper part. We put the blanks in the oven so that they dry and harden.

After the blanks have dried, paint them white.

Then we draw a face and a cap for Santa Claus. We cover the craft with a colorless varnish. We give Santa Claus to dry and tie a beautiful ribbon. The original salt dough pendant is ready!

Santa Claus turns out interesting from disposable wooden spatulas or ice cream sticks.

We glue them in a row.

We cover the sticks with white paint.

We decorate the face with cardboard eyes and a nose, we make a beard from cotton balls. We glue the cap from red cardboard, decorate it with a cotton pom-pom.

Santa Claus from ice cream sticks - ready!

You can make crafts from one stick.

We color it in red, leaving free space - this will be the face. We decorate the face with a cotton beard and an edge for a cap, glue toy eyes.

The costume is complemented with buttons. Kids can do this too.

The original craft is obtained from a disposable plate, which turns into the body of Santa Claus.

For greater resemblance to the plate, we glue a felt belt with a large buckle.

From cardboard cut out a circle - the head.

We decorate it with a cardboard cap and toy eyes.

We make a beard and fur from decorative shavings. From felt we cut out felt boots, from cardboard - hands. We connect the parts - and the craft is ready.

Such Santa Claus may well be made with our own hands. Stuffing crafts

We glue the beard, mustache and the edge of the white felt hat to the craft.

Sew beads on the eyes and nose. We decorate the craft with decorative elements. If you sew a ribbon to Santa's cap, you can make a charming Christmas tree decoration out of it.

Drawing Santa Claus do-it-yourself

Santa Claus for the New Year can be drawn. To begin with, we make a pencil drawing according to the model.

Wet the surface of the sheet. Paint blue background with watercolors. Due to the fact that the sheet will be wet, we will get very interesting stains on the sheet. You can sprinkle the background with salt, it will make the background seem to be covered with small dots - snowflakes. After the picture dries, the excess salt will need to be removed.
