Snow-white winter for many of us is a favorite time of the year, and the New Year is one of the best holidays. Just imagine: it's cold outside, the roads are covered with snow, everything is covered with huge snowdrifts, and the whole family gathered in a warm cozy house on a day off. And when the kids start fiddling with colored paper and scissors, normal parents will not be able to stay away and will definitely join the needlework, which will please both themselves and the kids. Even more desire to create wakes up with the appearance of a fluffy Christmas tree. That's when the children with mom and dad open a real workshop of Santa Claus, so many toys for the Christmas tree, garlands, snowflakes and decorations for gifts appear from under their hands. This is not only beautiful, but also gives great joy to those who are engaged in homemade products, and to those who see them.

Joint family activities always have a very beneficial effect on the atmosphere in the house. And making crafts on New Year's Eve is a long-standing wonderful tradition in many families. But for all its seeming simplicity, this work is quite painstaking, and it requires a lot of time and effort. But what won't you sacrifice for this fun, meaningful activity? Indeed, from such a pastime, the hearts of all family members unite. And because adults and children are engaged in New Year's crafts, the kids will not only get a lot of joy, but they will also try very hard to make their parents like their work. Therefore, it is important to choose options for crafts in which the child can fully express himself. You also need to properly distribute responsibilities, highlighting the leading role for the baby. And believe me: your efforts will not be in vain.

These snowmen are made from socks. Shall we try?

One of the simple New Year's crafts can be Santa Claus, for the manufacture of which you need a walnut and an apple. These delicious decorations can be placed under the Christmas tree or on a festive table. A head is made from a walnut, on which a face is drawn with paint. The sharp end of the nut is the neck. Then you need to attach hair from cotton wool and the same beard. The cap is made from a triangular piece of felt folded into a cone and glued together, a cotton pom-pom is attached to its top, and the cap is glued to the head. After that, a large red apple is carefully polished with a napkin. A drop of glue is dripped onto his tail and the head is glued. If the family has small children who are used to testing everything by tooth, then glue can be replaced with caramel or gelatin. To connect the parts, you can also use a toothpick.

DIY winter crafts

If you took on DIY winter crafts you can make very cute SNOWFLAKES. Moreover, they can also be very different in terms of complexity. For example, simple ones - from a sheet of paper folded into a corner and cut off in the center and along the edges (either with a simple notch or with more complex figures). Snowflakes can be made voluminous if, according to the standard principle, a sheet of paper is folded several times through the center to the corner, and then counter cuts are made in a checkerboard pattern, but not reaching the edge of the opposite side. In such a snowflake, the top may not be cut off, but the opposite side is cut off with a simple straight cut parallel to the oncoming cuts. After unfolding, the resulting corners are gently wrapped in one direction towards the center and glued. Not involved corners are wrapped on the other side of the product. It turns out a beautiful lush snowflake. You can make this invariable winter attribute of beads and beads. The central circles are made from small beads, and the upper circles are made from ordinary beads. Such a snowflake must be woven from the central circle. You need to take a needle with a fishing line, put 5 beads on it, close it into a ring, and then put on 5 more beads each, from which to make loops again. They must be attached to the beads in the central circle, and then gradually increase the number of beads collected, and attach the loops to the already formed petals. For beaded snowflakes, wire is also suitable, which will make the decoration smoother. Such a snowflake will not bend and it will be more convenient to hang it on a Christmas tree. This is also better because with such weaving a needle does not need to be put on the wire.

Our inventive mothers, if desired or necessary, can adapt any item for decoration. So New Year's crafts FROM FIGURED PASTA have become very popular. You can dream up with your child and make unusual toys and funny garlands. Even if they are simply painted in gold or white, sprinkled with piece frost, then the Christmas tree will sparkle from them, and the baby will be simply delighted. For the little ones, simple toys made according to cardboard templates are suitable. The child will be able to cut out paper, felt or foil figures on them. You can also adapt unnecessary beads and buttons found at home, different in shape and color. Their child can sew according to his own taste to previously made figures. Then they must be hung on the Christmas tree in the place of honor.

For crafts, you will need different shapes of pasta, glue and sparkles.

Children's winter crafts

For older guys, you can offer more serious kids winter crafts requiring certain skills. So younger students can easily cope with the New Year's crafts - SLIPPERS WITH SANTA FROST. Of course, they can be made "in an adult way" - from thick felt, insoles, padding polyester. But in our case, a simpler one is suitable - a souvenir version of slippers that can be hung, for example, for combs in the hallway. They are made either from thick fabric or cardboard. At the same time, the child circles his foot on the cardboard and cuts out the base. Then he cuts out the top of the slipper from another piece of cardboard, and you can offer him to cut out its shape according to the template you made previously. Before connecting both blanks, the upper part is decorated under the face of Santa Claus. To do this, you can take a braid of a suitable tone, thick fabric, colored paper, two white buttons and two black beads, from which eyes are made, multi-colored yarn, a synthetic winterizer for a mustache, beard and cap edging. You can decorate everything with white gouache and sparkles. If your child gives such a souvenir to his beloved grandparents, then their happiness will know no bounds.

And here is another postcard with a snowman.

A funny version of New Year's crafts - Christmas tree decorations FROM EGG SHELL. At the beginning, from a whole egg (fresh), the protein and yolk are gently blown out through the punctures at its ends. Then the most creative stage begins - decorating the shell. The easiest way is to glue the entire surface of the eggshell with small pieces of colored paper. You can glue different applications from the same colored paper. If you add cotton hair, a mustache, a beard and a paper cap to the drawn mouth, nose and eyes, you can get a cute gnome, clown, Santa Claus or someone else. You can also paste over the egg with sparkles, decorate it with finely chopped “rain”, various ribbons, as well as absolutely everything that comes to your hand. And you can just paint the shell, but not with watercolors and gouache. They do not attach well to the surface of the egg, so oil or acrylic paint is more suitable. The thread for hanging the toy, pre-threaded through both holes, is fixed at the lower end of the egg, for example, with a thread tassel or a bead.

Kindergartens will soon start preparing for winter and the winter holidays by decorating playrooms with crafts made by children's hands. Simple, but cute and sincere do-it-yourself winter crafts for kindergarten are offered by Active Mom.

Christmas trees from threads

The Christmas tree is one of the brightest symbols of the New Year. We offer to make a bright designer Christmas tree from threads. For its manufacture, you will need a ready-made base - a foam cone or a cone made of cardboard - and colored threads. The threads can be woolen, and if you want the Christmas tree to be fluffy, synthetic "grass" threads will be an excellent option. Having fixed one end of the thread at the top of the cone, you just need to wrap it around the entire cone to the bottom, where to fix the second end. You can decorate the Christmas tree with beads, buttons, pompoms.

Cotton toys and cotton pads

Cotton wool is a popular material for winter crafts, because it is very similar to snow. In addition, even the smallest children from the nursery can make toys with it. Adults only need to print out a template with Santa Claus, a penguin, a snowman, a house, mittens, hats - any New Year's heroes or winter items that can be decorated with snow. Well, then the work goes to the little creators: in their hands, glue and cotton wool will work wonders and cover the winter house with snow, make Santa's beard fluffy, warm hats and mittens.

With the help of cotton pads, you can create whole winter pictures:

Snowmen from paper plates

Disposable paper plates are another source of inspiration for winter crafts for kindergarten. So, they make excellent snowmen. It is enough to fasten two plates together and decorate the snowman by making eyes, a nose, a scarf, pens, a headdress for him, using paper, felt, buttons, plasticine. Such snowmen can decorate children's lockers in the garden.

Bright stars and snowflakes

These easy-to-make stars can decorate a garden tree or hang from the ceiling. If in the summer you didn’t throw away ice cream sticks, but saved them up in the hope of using them for home creativity, this is definitely an idea for you. Form a star or snowflake out of popsicle sticks and glue them together. Color the figure or leave it unpainted. Randomly wrap with threads, paste over with buttons. Hang on a thread.

Wreath on the door from mittens

A cozy wreath of colorful cardboard mittens will undoubtedly decorate the door of the group where your child goes. It will be great if each child brings a mitten and such a wreath will become a symbol of a friendly children's team.

Crafts from napkins

Lace round napkins are another great material for creativity. You can make airy snowmen out of them to decorate curtains or a large Christmas tree.

And you can create such an openwork cute Christmas tree.

Do not be afraid to entrust the children with part of the work - the winter crafts we offer for kindergarten can be easily and with minimal help from parents by any child 4-6 years old. But how much joy the baby will have from the realization that he made such beauty with his own hands!

Idea 2. Skating rink with a controlled figure

The originality of this winter craft is that the skater can be smoothly “rolled on the ice” by moving the magnet along the back of the box.

What you need:

A shallow tin for cookies, tea, etc.
Paper;
Paints and brushes, pencils or felt-tip pens;
Paperclip or coin;
Glue;
Magnet.

How to do it:

Drawing pictures with fingerprints, palms and even feet is a lot of fun, especially for preschoolers. All you need is fantasy, gouache and a sheet of paper! In the next selection of photos you can see examples of such drawings.

Idea 4. Paper mini tree

Another winter craft idea for the little ones is paper Christmas trees. They are made very easily and quickly, and you can use them as you like: as a decoration for the same diorama, appliqué for a New Year's card or panel, to decorate a garland or a Christmas tree.

What you need:

A sheet of green paper and some brown paper for the trunk;
Glue stick;
Scissors;
Sequins, rhinestones, beads and other decorations for the Christmas tree.

Step 1. From a sheet of green paper, make a square by folding one corner of the sheet, as shown in the photo, and cutting out the excess.

Step 2. Cut one of the short sides of the triangle into equal narrow strips, not reaching the fold of about 1 cm (see photo above).

Step 3. Now straighten your workpiece and begin to alternately glue the ends of the strips to the center fold line, moving from bottom to top.

Step 4. When you fix all the stripes, bend and glue the bottom corner of the Christmas tree up. Further in the same place, but on the reverse side, glue a small rectangle (tree trunk) cut out of brown paper.

Step 5. Decorate the Christmas tree with colorful beads, sequins, buttons and other decorations. If you wish, you can make several of these Christmas trees, glue loops to them, so that you can then assemble a garland or decorate a real Christmas tree with crafts.

Idea 5. Snow globe ... more precisely, a bank

Now we offer to make a real souvenir with your own hands - a variation of a snow globe. True, it will be made from an ordinary glass jar. A child will be able to present a craft to a loved one, present it at a winter crafts competition, or simply leave it on a shelf for beauty.

What you need:

Glass jar with lid;
A piece of foam;
Glue (hot or "Moment");
Acrylic paint to decorate the lid (optional)
Artificial snow or just sea salt, sugar, grated white soap or polyethylene foam;
Figurines that will be placed in a jar;
Styrofoam balls or any white beads;
Fishing line;
Needle.

How to do it:

Step 1. Repaint the cover in the desired color and leave to dry. In this project, spray paint was used to remake the lid.

Step 2. While the paint dries, we will make a “snowfall”. To do this, you need to string several foam balls on a fishing line threaded into a needle. To attach the "snowflakes" to the jar, use adhesive tape.

Step 3. Circle the bottom of the jar directly on the foam, then use a knife to cut out the resulting circle from it. This circle will become the base for the figurines.

Step 4. Glue your figures to the foam circle, then glue the resulting composition to the bottom of the jar.

Step 5. Fill the jar with artificial or homemade snow, close it with a lid with snowflakes and enjoy the view of a winter fairy tale.

Idea 6. New Year's card

New Year's cards are never enough, so we suggest making a few with your child.

What you need:

Sheet of white paper;
A sheet of colored paper;
Scissors;
Glue stick;
Markers.

How to do it:

Step 1. Fold a sheet of white accordion paper three times so that each top layer of the accordion is smaller in width than the previous one.

Step 2. Straighten your harmonica, cut the sheet diagonally and slightly in waves as shown in the photo above, then reassemble the harmonica. You have a slope of a snow-capped mountain.

Step 3. Now take a sheet of colored paper, glue the blank on it and cut off the excess. Hooray! The postcard is almost ready.

Step 4. Decorate the mountain with Christmas trees, draw snowmen and skiers, and finally sign the card.

By the same principle, but using larger paper, you can make a winter craft for kindergarten.

In kindergartens and schools, exhibitions and various craft competitions are often held. Parents, immediately connecting all their fantasy and imagination, begin to invent something original and very effective for everyone to like. Immersed in creative thoughts, they forget that not adult talent will be considered by the jury of the competition or exhibition, but children's. And the baby will not experience any special feelings, because he did not do winter crafts in kindergarten with his own hands. And let it be very beautiful, but he did not participate in its manufacture.

The main thing is participation

Psychologists believe that the child should prepare the crafts on his own, and parents can help him in some way. And this will affect his development, self-esteem.

New Year is a magical holiday that all children are waiting for. You can’t count how many different crafts you can prepare with your child to participate in a winter school or kindergarten exhibition! The child will be happy to join the creative process. It will be very interesting for him. Children love to sculpt, stick and draw something. And here are a few options for how you can make your own. Photos of finished works in the article - for clarity. Based on the description of the creative process, you can make your own adjustments and changes.

Snowman from a plastic plate

There is no need for a kindergarten-age kid to offer to make overly complex winter crafts with their own hands. He will not cope on his own, and watching how his mother makes and glues something is not at all interesting. Offer to try to make such a cute snowman, which you can then hang on the Christmas tree.

It is better to be creative while playing. First you need to interest the child by asking which fairy-tale character can be fashioned from snow, and then offer to make it from improvised materials. A kid of 4-5 years old with his mother's help will be able to make a winter craft with his own hands from an ordinary plastic plate, paper and paints.

On the table in front of the child, lay out everything that is needed in the process. He must independently determine which part to work with at each stage.

So, take a deep plastic plate. A snowman face will be made from it. It is necessary to make incisions in a circle of 1-1.5 cm.

The next step is to work with colored paper. Adults should help the child draw a carrot, a few circles for the mouth, a beautiful hat and decorations for the toy on a sheet of the appropriate color. Eyes can also be made from paper, but purchased ones, those intended for applications and fabric toys, will look more beautiful.

Invite your child to try cutting out some detail. Adapting to scissors is not so easy for small hands. But carving is a great method for developing fine motor skills. In the end, if the baby does not cope, adults will always help.

When all the details are prepared, you can start decorating the snowman. First, the child alternately glues the eyes, then with the help of PVA glue - a nose made of carrots and a mouth made of black circles. To make the snowman look elegant and festive, you should glue a hat on his head and decorate it to your taste. You can use shiny paper, foil, beads and rhinestones. It remains to attach the rope, for which it will be possible to hang the snowman on the Christmas tree.

This type of winter crafts (with your own hands) are very suitable for a kindergarten. The child does everything almost independently, and also motor skills, imagination, and thinking develop in the creative process.

Designer game. Family garden craft - sleigh and snowman

Since the teacher gave the task for the competition to make winter crafts for kindergarten with her own hands, we must complete it. And best of all, by connecting the whole family to creativity, play designers.

Each participant will have their own task. Of course, the child will not only be busy in the process, but will also lead the position of the main head of the family design group. Let the kid try to reveal his organizational skills and feel like a real leader. This will raise his self-esteem and will be reflected in the formation of character.

creative process

Participants receive a task from the leader. Mom will make a snowman. From a synthetic winterizer with a needle and thread, two balls should be made for the torso of a winter fairy-tale hero. From threads, multi-colored fabric and decorative wire wrapped in fluffy yarn, make him hands, headphones, pompoms on his body and a carrot. After you need to sew with a thread all the details of the snowman figurine, finish the decorative elements, glue the eyes. Congratulations to Mom - she did her job.

The kid, although he is a creative director who monitors how winter crafts are made with his own hands for the kindergarten, should still take part too. His task is to decorate ice cream sticks with colorful paints. For a kid 3-4 years old, such a task is within their power. If the child is older, you can entrust him with cutting out small snowflakes from snow-white napkins and then gluing them onto the sled. Then you need to glue the ice cream sticks so that you get a sled, attach a rope to them, and also securely seat the snowman so that he does not accidentally fall at the most crucial moment.

Magic snowflake

Sometimes, it is difficult to invent what children's crafts with their own hands (winter) can be made. It is worth connecting the fantasy. It’s really possible to make funny Christmas tree pendants in the form of snowflakes or angels from pasta and noodles of various shapes. Children of 5-6 years old will cope with such a craft. But adults should not leave the process unattended.

First you need to pick up pasta of various shapes and lay out an ornament from them on the table. If you like the picture, you can start creating. The child should be asked to first paint each detail in a certain color using acrylic paint. A snowflake of gold or silver color will turn out very beautiful. After using transparent glue (select one that dries quickly), you need to attach each detail in the ornament to each other. It remains to figure out how to hang a magic snowflake on a Christmas tree. The craft is ready.

cotton pad angel

Invite a child of 5-6 years old to make a Christmas tree toy in the form of an angel. This type of do-it-yourself winter crafts for school is also suitable. You can come up with a whole composition!

The principle of how to turn cotton pads into angels is very simple. The disk is folded into a triangle and fixed with glue. A large bead sits on top of the glue - this will be the head. The halo is made from a golden thread bundle or wire. Attach a loop to the bead, for which you can then hang the decoration on the Christmas tree. The wings are also cut out of a cotton pad, and then straightened and glued to the body. The craft is ready!

Christmas toy from knitted socks

And such an idea for mothers who are ready to donate a pair of knitted socks to children's creativity or know how to work with knitting needles. Try to make winter crafts with your child (with your own hands) in the form of decorative Christmas balls. For needlewomen who know how to knit, creating a decor for such a New Year's toy is a matter of an hour. But there are mothers for whom this type of needlework is unfamiliar. How to be in this case?

First, pick up a sock with a beautiful winter ornament and a Christmas ball of a suitable diameter. Then you need to cut off the upper part of the sock, process the edges so that they do not bloom, put a knitted cylinder on a Christmas tree toy and fasten it. The decor, like the craft, is ready!

puppet snowman

And it is very easy to make this type of winter crafts for the garden with your own hands. They are also suitable for a school exhibition. Moreover, according to this principle, you can make various winter fairy-tale characters: Santa Claus, his granddaughter, various animals.

Even the smallest children (three or four years old) will cope with the creative process. Mom will have to help a little so that the craft has an aesthetic and finished look.

After the winter crafts made with your own hands are ready, the figurines can be left in the kindergarten. They will come in handy, for example, to show the kids a New Year's fairy tale with the participation of such dolls.

How to make a puppet snowman from a sock? Step-by-step instruction

You will need scissors, a one-color white sock, a synthetic winterizer, buttons, a few beads, a strong thread with a needle, a colored piece of cloth.

First you need to cut off the toe with the heel from the top of the sock. Sew one end to make a bag. Fill it with synthetic winterizer. Next, you need to divide the bag into two parts, tying it with a strong thread to make the head and body of a snowman.

After you need to sew beads on the face. These will be the eyes and nose. It is necessary to cut a scarf from colored matter and wrap the neck of the figurine with it. You can make a bow out of the same fabric if, according to the idea, the snowman is a girl.

From the remaining cut off part of the sock, you can make a hat and put it on your head. It remains to sew a few buttons to the body. The puppet snowman is ready. So that he is not bored, it is worth making him a girlfriend or friend for company from another sock.

"Winter House" - craft-composition

When thinking about what to make winter crafts with your own hands for the school, you should consider the age of the student. Agree, if a fifth grader brings an appliqué or a Christmas tree decoration decorated with a viscous toy, it will not be possible to impress and fully demonstrate their creative talents, it’s very simple. What if you create a whole composition on a winter theme? Build a house and a courtyard with a wicker fence, decorate everything to make a snowman? Get very original. Such winter crafts for the garden, made with your own hands, can also be brought to the exhibition. Of course, everyone will understand that most of the work was done by an adult. On the other hand, the composition is very beautiful and worthy of praise.

How and from what the composition "Winter House" is made

It's easy to make if you have patience. The house, yard and wicker fence are built from rods made from newspaper tubes, stained with stain. All parts are glued with silicone glue. There are many ways to make a snowman. It is possible from cotton wool, pompons, threads, socks with synthetic winterizer. Cotton wool and foam balls will replace the snow.

Such winter crafts always look spectacular. With your own hands, you can make details and complement the composition. For example, in the courtyard of a winter house, you can install a miniature basket filled with acorns or mountain ash. It is possible to make animals from chestnuts or nutshells (dog, hedgehog).

Here are some beautiful and original winter crafts you can make with your own hands. The creative process is always interesting. And when you see the results of your work, you get a special feeling from looking at the work.

You need to do crafts for school and garden with the whole family. This brings together and unites, positively affects the development of the child and the formation of his character.

What could be more fun and exciting in the cold season than doing DIY crafts on the theme "Winter". When it's cold and snowing outside, the child has a lot of time for creativity, besides, the weather itself gives inspiration. And the New Year holidays are approaching, so crafts will come in handy for decorating an apartment and a Christmas tree. The baby has a variety of materials at his disposal, so you should not be limited to paper, for example, you can take pasta and use them to create a bright decorative Christmas tree.

DIY crafts for children on the theme "Winter"

Most Popular do-it-yourself children's crafts on the theme "Winter"- these are Christmas trees, but the materials that can be offered to a child to implement this idea can be the most diverse. For example, you have at your disposal various figured pasta, which will be an excellent material for decorating a magnificent New Year's beauty.

The basis will be a disposable glass, it has a conical shape, it is this shape that we need the basis for the Christmas tree. You can make bases with cardboard or plastic, but a disposable wine glass is strong enough that it won't deform under the weight of pasta and a layer of glue.

We will take pasta in the form of small bows, with them the Christmas tree will turn out to be truly beautiful, lush. And you should also prepare miniature pasta of various shapes, which will serve as a decor, become small Christmas balls that adorn our New Year's beauty.

In order for the elements to be securely held on the base, ordinary PVA glue is not enough; it is advisable to use a hot glue gun. To make the craft realistic, we need green spray paint, and for coloring - gold paint.

At the wine glass, you need to separate the leg, we will need it at the very end of the craft. Turn the cone over with the wide side down and start gluing the elements from the very bottom. Pasta bows are fixed on a drop of hot glue.

"Bows" should be glued close to each other, placing the rows in a checkerboard pattern. Make sure that there are no holes left between the elements through which the plastic base of the glass is visible. If small gaps remain, you can then paint over them with a green spray.

When you get close to the crown, the whole "bows" will no longer fit, so the crown can be filled in halves, as shown in the master class. Of course, while the pasta retains its natural color, the craft looks completely unattractive, but as soon as you color it green, it immediately takes on a magical look. Additionally, the tips of the "twigs" can be decorated with sparkles.

When the paint dries, you can glue the stand. The role of the stand will be played by two legs from the glass, glued together along a narrow base, as shown in the master class. Now the coasters must be glued to the wide part of the wine glass with hot glue.

It remains only to decorate the finished Christmas tree with small curly pasta - first they must be painted with gold spray on both sides and allowed to dry. Then stick small elements in random order over the "bows" or fill in the remaining gaps with them.

Several curly pasta can be glued together and get an asterisk with which to decorate the crown.

When making pasta with children, you can take not only “bows”, but also other fancy-shaped pasta - spirals, shells and tubules. Depending on what form of pasta you will use, your craft will be completely different. You can make the base out of cardboard by rolling it into a cone, or paste over an empty glass bottle of champagne or mineral water with pasta. On your own, you can choose the color of the paint in which you paint the finished craft.

Original DIY crafts on the theme "Winter"

Together with your children, you can original DIY crafts on the theme "Winter", and these can be not just individual crafts, but entire winter compositions. What elements can be present in such a composition? Of course, a house with snow-covered lids, which stands among bare trees and lush green fir trees in a snow-covered meadow. Next to the house there will be a snowman, which was visited by forest guests - gnomes or hedgehogs.

As you can see, this is a complex and multi-stage work in which a group of children can be involved, each of whom will have his own task. And then the individual crafts will form into a whole composition.

The main element of the composition is the house, it is very interesting to make it, because the child will literally fold it over a log. The main element is snow, according to tradition, this role will be played by ordinary cotton wool, which must be fluffed up with flakes. It is with cotton wool that we will cover the roof of the house and the clearing itself. Flakes can cover bare branches of trees and branches of fir trees. If you still have artificial snow in an aerosol with which you decorated windows for the New Year, you can also use it.

How to make crafts on the theme "Winter" with your own hands

Now that we have an idea, how to make crafts on the theme "Winter" with your own hands, you can start creating it. First we will make a paper house, it will be built from paper tubes. You can take plain white paper and then paint the walls of the house with brown paint, or use brown paper (colored one-sided) right away.

An A4 sheet must be cut into three parts along the long side, as a result you have rectangles, each of which we will twist into a tube. You will need a lot of tubes - approximately 11 pieces on each side, the total number is about 50, if necessary, you can tighten the tubes already in the process. The edge of a dense tube must be smeared with a glue stick and glued to make a tube.

Our foundation will be thick cardboard - you can cut a square or rectangle. Glue the tubes on all sides so that the tips of the two peek out beyond the perimeter of the base. Long tubes will be on the sides, and two more should be shortened a little by cutting off the excess part, then gluing it to the base. Long tubes should alternate, for example, if in the first layer we laid long tubes on both sides vertically, then in the next row - long ones should be horizontal. Thus, you will get the effect of a log cabin, exactly like in the picture.

When laying out the next row, it is necessary to coat the tubes of the previous row with a thin layer, and it is better to fix the corner joints with PVA glue for reliability. When you have three rows on each side, it's time to decide where the door to your magical house will be located (who knows, maybe you will have a house for Santa). Choose one of the sides and mark the door in the middle - there should be a hole in this place. When you glue the next layers on this side, the tubes must be cut. Carefully make sure that the cuts are at the same level along the entire height of the door on both sides.

The height of the windows should be half that of the doors, but both the windows and the door should end at the same level. Therefore, when you make three rows of doors, you can begin to form windows on the side walls.

After the walls have become solid again, it is necessary to complete 2-3 more rows and proceed to the formation of the roof. For the roof, the tubes are installed only on two opposite sides in the form of a triangle. Each next row of tubes should be shorter than the previous one by only a few millimeters. In total, the attic will consist of 10 rows of tubes.

DIY crafts on the theme "Winter": ideas

The main element of ours is almost ready, but it should be decorated to make the house look like from a magical Christmas story. It is necessary to fix the door by gluing it also from the tubes, but this time placing them vertically. The doorway can be decorated with brown cardboard with a carved edge, as shown in the master class.

Make a frame and shutters on the windows, and then glue the curtains with colored paper, fixing them with double-sided tape on the back of the walls.

The roof will be made using thick colored cardboard, you can choose any color, but it is better to take a dark one so that its natural color can be seen under the snow. We will make not just a straight roof, but with tiles.

Of course, creating tiles is a long and painstaking process: you will need yellow, orange or terracotta thick cardboard, sharp scissors, as well as a sheet of paper and a pencil to draw the pattern. The tile is a wide strip with a wavy edge, then the finished blanks must be glued overlapping, covering the entire surface of the roof.

As you can see, it's not hard at all do-it-yourself crafts on the theme "Winter", ideas for decoration you can learn from the photographs.

For the house, you need to arrange a snow-covered clearing, you can put our pasta Christmas tree next to it, and a few more hedgehogs created from cones and plasticine. And, of course, next to the house there will be a cute New Year's snowman.
