Christmas decorations made from wrapping paper. DIY New Year's crafts. New Year's house on the Christmas tree

A New Year's gift will be even better if you present it beautifully. We offer you a selection of the most original and at the same time simple gift wrapping ideas for the New Year. There won’t be too much decor, but the final version looks very cool and tasteful.

Any of the proposed materials can be replaced with what is at hand. For example, you can abandon kraft paper in favor of mica or corrugated packaging, replace satin ribbon with burlap, and paper decor with stickers. Vary the proposed ideas: it is difficult to spoil anything in these options.

What do we need?

wrapping paper (kraft, newsprint, colored, corrugated or mica)
accessory for dressing (thread, rain, tape, twine, braid, etc.)
natural materials (twigs, cones)
Super glue
double-sided or clear tape

Packing in box or carton

If your New Year's gift is rectangular in shape or you put it in a box, it makes sense to wrap the entire accessory. If you are giving something small, similar manipulations can be done with a regular matchbox.

Don't want the recipient to see an ugly box? Glue the paper and make a cut at the top so that the gift can be taken out without untying.

Wrap the box in craft paper (you can use any other paper), tie it with thread or glue it on the inside with double-sided tape.

You can decorate boxes with natural materials. Coniferous branches look good, as well as Christmas trees made from pieces of any sticks wrapped in colored threads (make a Christmas tree out of them and glue it with superglue).

Packaging in the form of a parcel or letter

One of the most popular ideas for wrapping New Year's gifts with your own hands is decorating the present in the form of a parcel or letter.

For such a “parcel” you will need to cover any box with kraft paper (or plain white). Place a postcard on top or issue it as a mailing addressed to the recipient. Add a beautiful New Year's stamp (can be replaced with a snowflake) and a beautiful ribbon or cord of a suitable color.

Packaging a “letter” is even easier. Wrap a gift (usually a certificate, an envelope with money, or just a greeting card) in paper, tie it with thread and decorate with a pine twig.

Packaging in the form of a bag and a burlap roll

This is an excellent solution for those who want to give some small items, clothes, and even tea as a gift.

We invite you to transform simple paper lunch bags using regular markers. Just write it with congratulations or even design it as a New Year's menu that awaits the guest at the holiday. Place the gift inside and sew it up with thread. It looks unusual and very cute.

If you don't like the idea of standard clothing packaging, try replacing the usual mica with burlap or any beautiful fabric. Make a bow on top from the same material and decorate with pine needles.

Christmas toys in packaging

They can be both decorative elements and a kind of guide for packaging.

If you have small Christmas tree decorations, try replacing the standard bow that completes any New Year's gift with them. Use one or more depending on the size of the box.

If you are giving something small, disguise it as a Christmas ball. Use a tennis ball, an old Christmas tree, or any other round, hollow base that is easy to work with. Make a hole in the ball and place the gift there. This could be jewelry, a watch, a certificate, or a note with a hint on where to look for the real gift. Wrap the ball in fabric, gather it at the base and tie with a ribbon.

Packaging with a book and a bundle with a label

This decoration method is best suited for packaging chocolate and various homemade sweets such as cookies and gingerbread.

We have previously shown you how to present chocolate in an original way. In this case, the technique is the same, but the decor is completely different. We suggest you cut out an image of a Christmas tree decoration and “hang” it on a chocolate bar, decorating it with beads. You can write your wishes on the back. Similar packaging would be appropriate for a box of chocolates.

If you want to give homemade sweets to someone, wrap them in cling film or foil (depending on the type of baked goods) and then in wrapping paper. Make a beautiful label with a wish and a hint of what’s inside so that the gift will be the first to be taken from under the tree.

Unusual decor with pompoms and stamps

If you are looking for truly original New Year's decor, this idea will definitely suit your taste.

Wrap a large box with a gift in beautiful corrugated paper or even white ribbed wallpaper. Tie it several times with imitation Christmas candy lace. Complete the composition with small homemade pompoms made from green felted wool. This will give you a gift in traditional holiday colors.

If you are giving a book or something small and rectangular, frame the gift in the form of a letter. The same caramel lace and beautiful New Year stamps will help you out (ask at the post office).

Decorations – “nuts for Cinderella”

If you are giving jewelry, remember the old fairy tale about Cinderella and decorate the gift with nuts.

Earrings or a ring can be placed inside a walnut and tied with a beautiful ribbon. If desired, the nut can be decorated with gold or silver spray paint.

If you are giving a bracelet or chain in a classic flat box, wrap it in wrapping paper and decorate it with small bell nuts. It looks very beautiful!

Pockets

A small gift can be placed in a beautiful paper pocket.

If you have thick and beautiful paper, just cut a rectangle out of it. Fold it into a pocket and glue the side edges. Seal the package using a button and strong thread.

The pocket can also be folded from cardboard. Or use a selection of templates for New Year's boxes.

If there are many recipients, write the recipient's name on each package. This is very convenient when you give something for the New Year to your colleagues.

Candy tubes and Christmas tree

This option is for those who want to add a little zest to their New Year's gift.

If you are giving something long, wrap the gift in any wrapping paper and tie a bow at both ends. The result will be something like candy.

If you like voluminous decor, try finishing your gift with a Christmas tree. To do this, on the wrapping paper that will be in the center of the top of the box, draw the outline of a New Year's tree with a pencil. First, place a sheet of colored paper under the packaging. Now you need to cut out half of the Christmas tree with a stationery knife, and then just bend it.

Choose any of the ideas presented and experiment! As you can see, any gift can be presented in an original way and with only basic packaging materials.

Master class on creating a Christmas ball from wrapping paper. It is very easy to make such a craft with your own hands. You can decorate the entire Christmas tree with these balls. You can make your Christmas tree stylish and unique by changing both the size of the toys and the color scheme. To change the size, make cone blanks either smaller or larger. To make a red toy, you will need to make the cones with the silver color facing out and that's it.

1. We will need:

Wrapping paper. (Two-color).
Double-sided tape.
Scissors.

2. We make these templates. A semicircle is needed to cut out identical pieces. The second is to roll the blanks into identical cones.

3. We cut out the blanks, the diameter of one such blank is 9 cm. We will need about 50 of them.

4. Place the cone template in the center of the workpiece.

5. First we wrap one corner, and then the second corner.

6. Secure with double-sided tape. Set aside without removing the protective film.

7. Thus, we make a sufficient number of cone blanks.

8. Remove the protective film and begin gluing the cones together. You should end up with a circle like this.

9. Place the second row of blanks on top. And continue until the empty space runs out.

Neither bright balls from the supermarket, nor lights flashing in different colors, nor expensive designer kits for decorating Christmas trees can compare with homemade decorations.

Of course, such decorations from the supermarket will make your evergreen guest bright and modernly decorated, but they are unlikely to be able to carry the New Year’s mood as joyfully as home-made toys.

There are a lot of ways to make Christmas tree decorations, but the simplest, most attractive and not time-consuming are paper-made toys. To create them, you may need very little, improvised materials that are stored in every housewife. Stock up on a little patience and wings for a creative flight of fancy.

New Year's balls

What is the most common decoration on a Christmas tree? Of course, balls! You can always buy glass and 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. Balls made of colored cardboard, plain, will give the tree or room that you want to decorate a single style, and multi-colored balls will bring an atmosphere of celebration, magic and a winter fairy tale.

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

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

Take your cardboard and draw twenty-one identical circles on it, then cut them out with scissors. Each circle must 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.

Fold only one side of it again, so that the edge of the circle is exactly in the intended center. Fold the two sides again, so you get a triangle. Cut out this triangle in one of the twenty circles; it will serve as a kind of stencil for the rest of the circles. All that remains for you is to place the triangle on the remaining circles, trace it and bend the edges of the circles outward along the contour.

Take the first ten circles and glue them into stripes, 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 into fives and glue them into a circle. By gluing them together, you will get two lids.

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

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

A great idea for a Christmas tree decoration would be a miniature paper Christmas tree. 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 don’t have a real tree, you can make your own magical New Year tree. For more ideas, see the article:

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 and glued to the window, as is often done. What about voluminous snowflakes? Making it is as easy as cutting it out. To create it you will only need scissors, a stapler and, of course, paper.

Cut out 6 squares of the same size, fold each square diagonally, and then in half. Make parallel cuts along the folds with scissors. Unfold the squares, wrap the inner strips and fasten them together. The resulting petals are connected to each other with a stapler, although you can also use glue. Such a large snowflake can be sprinkled with sparkles or put together as a garland. You can decorate it with a window, a wall, or hang it under a chandelier.

What could be easier to decorate than large, voluminous paper candies? They are very simple to make, for example, from old foil or beautiful wallpaper left over from renovation. There will definitely be paper with a bright pattern. And to do this, you just need to measure out a small rectangle, twist it into a tube, and tie ribbons at the ends. If you are afraid that your toy will lose its shape, then by twisting it, you can put any unnecessary thing in the shape of a cylinder, for example, a cardboard cylinder from toilet paper, between the paper.

Toys with family photos

Some types of paper balls 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 in the next New Year, the toy of memories will again remind you of pleasant moments. By the way, don’t forget about your pets, let them also remain on your memorable toy, because a dog, cat or even guinea pigs are also waiting for the New Year holidays!

Lanterns 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 paper or printed paper, paint it with paints, and add new details. Everything is to your taste.

Paper angels for the Christmas tree

What about New Year's angels? You also remember how to make them, right? Angels can be made from gold paper or newspapers, painted or added glitter.

New Year's paper cones

What's a Christmas tree without pine cones? You can decorate the Christmas tree with ordinary pine 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 simplest option is a cone made from old postcards.

Lace garland

A magic lamp can be created from a simple glowing garland; all you need is paper and small scissors, with which you can easily cut out lace snowflakes. You can find patterns for snowflakes on the Internet or print them out so that you can cut out the figures around the office. You can put light bulbs from a garland into the holes cut out in the snowflakes; hanging such a garland on a window or on a Christmas tree will be very beautiful.

A little life hack: if you don’t have time to cut out lace snowflakes, or you can’t make them even and neat, buy lace napkins at the supermarket, this will reduce your work time, and store-bought napkins will look much neater. The garland will create a bright New Year's mood. Feel free to get to work!

Cardboard Santa Claus

You can diversify the decoration of your home and Christmas tree with the help of snowflakes, flowers and lanterns, stars and balls, but what about the most important New Year's miracle - Santa Claus? Small cardboard Santas make a fun garland, especially if you add different facial expressions to the grandfathers.

To make the job easier, you can find stencils for making toys that you just need to cut and glue.

New Year's house on the Christmas tree

You can decorate the New Year tree with a paper house. This toy looks especially cool if you put an electric candle or a garland light bulb inside. Then the windows of the house will glow, as if someone lives in it. Making paper houses is very simple; you can do without a template. You will need paper or old postcards, scissors and glue.

Stars

You can decorate the Christmas tree with paper stars. They are made very simply, even kids can cope with this task, but they look very original!

A New Year or Christmas wreath is usually decorated with the front door or hung on the wall. But you can make a mini paper wreath that will look great on the Christmas tree as a toy.

Well, if you want to make a real Christmas wreath with your own hands, then look:

Good afternoon. Today we will make crafts for the New Year from paper and cardboard with our own hands. I collected the most accessible and easy-to-use crafts for children and adults. You can find here ideas for activities in kindergarten for the New Year (appliques and paper crafts). Also here you will get ideas for home decor for the New Year using paper and cardboard.

Let's start making a New Year's fairy tale with our own hands, turn paper into an elegant New Year for our family. Let's put our good mood and skillful hands to work and start a round dance of New Year's crafts.

Candlestick for New Year

(made of colored paper and white cardboard).

These cute cardboard snowman candlesticks can decorate your New Year's interior.

Each paper snowman is laid out like a regular postcard. And it can be placed vertically on its edge (like a postcard). Punched holes in the cardboard allow you to use this paper craft for the New Year as a festive candlestick. Let me tell you in detail, step by step, how to make a quick and simple cute craft with your own hands.

How to make this New Year's candlestick craft from paper.

Step 1 – on plain paper (draft paper), print or draw any graphic pattern (the one you want to pierce on the snowman’s belly)

Step 2 – cut out the silhouette of a snowman’s body from thick white cardboard (preferably glossy, double-sided). It will be a silhouette in the form of a hill with rounded edges, growing from left to right (as in the photo above).

Step 3 – we apply our draft with a pattern to this silhouette and fasten it with paper clips. Place a terry towel on the table in 2-3 folds. Place the cardboard with the draft on the towel, the patterned draft side up. Use a needle to pierce the drawing on the draft. So that the needle passes through the draft, through the cardboard silhouette of the snowman’s body lying underneath and sticks into the towel. We cut off the entire drawing in all places.

Step 4 – cut out the snowman’s oval arms and round head from the same cardboard. From colored paper we cut out a nose, an eye cap, and a mouth. We paint the hat with colored felt-tip pens or markers. We assemble the craft entirely from these paper parts. And we receive a beautiful handmade paper gift for the New Year

And from the remains of white cardboard you can make just such a folding craft for the New Year. From colored paper we make candle flames and green sprigs of holly with red berries.

It’s also very beautiful to make LAYER crafts in the form of houses and Christmas trees from white thick paper for the New Year. Placed on the edges of the folds, they will be held vertically straight - between the rows of houses you can lay out a Christmas tree garland and turn it on - the lights of the garland will illuminate the windows and highlight silhouettes.

Snowman for New Year

from paper.

You can make funny little SNEWS BALLS from white paper rounds. Decorate them with hats of different styles, tie them with colored satin ribbons (like scarves). Glue the paws and noses and use a black marker to draw a dotted smile and eyes.

This craft is suitable for middle group children in kindergarten. You just need help tying the ribbons.

You can make a snowman from three cardboard circles of different sizes. Between the layers of rounds, place a three-dimensional spacer (a thick piece of cardboard, a paper folding spring, thick Velcro tape, etc.). So the snowman will be voluminous and puffy. We attach paper paws to the first bottom layer, put a scarf on the second round piece, and a nose, eyes, and hat on the top round piece. This paper craft for the New Year is suitable for children in the older group of kindergarten.

Here's a craft idea for little ones. We attach a white snowdrift to a sheet of blue cardboard at the bottom. We paste a piece of paper with a calendar print on it (it can be printed from the Internet and photocopied according to the number of children in the group).

All the children have to do is glue the round snowman’s face and the round handles on top of the calendar sheet. Then cover your head with a hat, add eyes, a nose - draw a smile later with a marker. Decorate the blue background of the craft with paper snowflakes.

And from large sheets of paper (A2 format) you can make a beautiful craft for the window. This snowman can decorate the window frames in your child's nursery. And kindergarten workers can turn the group’s windows into a whole series of funny adventures of the snowman Vasya- here he is sweeping snowflakes with a broom, here he is performing an acrobatics act, here he is with the birds, here he is juggling snowballs, here he is sleeping under the Christmas tree. The poses are easy to form and change; all you have to do is turn the body, legs and head over - and now the snowman himself has turned around, somersaulted - oh yes Vasya!

And since we started making crafts for the New Year from white paper, let's continue. And let's see what else can be made from inexpensive landscape or office paper.

Craft - wreath for the NEW YEAR

(white paper + pizza box).

Here's a beautiful piece of work that your children can enjoy this New Year. You can make a New Year's miracle from plain white paper and an old cardboard box. Wreath with white lace New Year's silhouettes. All details are cut out separately - and from the outside it seems that this is a single large openwork cutout made of paper.

How to make the basis for a New Year's wreath.

We take a large pizza box. Place the largest pan lid (or round dish) on it. We trace with a pencil. We get the contours of the outer ring. We put a smaller plate in the center, trace it with a pencil - we get the contours of the inner ring, that is, a hole. Cut it out.

Note - to get an even-sided ring for a wreath, you need to place a small plate (for the hole) exactly in the center - so that on the right and left and above and below the plate there is the same distance to the edge of the ring.

From ordinary white office paper we cut out the details-symbols of the New Year:

3 large snowflakes
8 Christmas tree silhouettes
4 house silhouettes
1 white ring (you can use 2 halves of a ring - from two sheets of paper)

This white ring will lie on top of our round dance of houses of Christmas trees and snowflakes. AND by inner diameter this white paper ring should match the inner circle of our cardboard wreath base(which we cut out of a pizza box).

The process of assembling a New Year's craft.

On our gray cardboard ring we glue all the Christmas trees, houses, snowflakes in a circle - in any order. We make a round dance of silhouettes - without bringing them too close to the inner edge of the wreath (since there they will be covered too much by the white paper ring). The thickness of the ring should not greatly overlap the New Year's silhouettes made of paper - but only cover their lower part.

We glued the silhouettes in a round dance and then put a white paper ring on top of them - also with glue. It is better to work with a glue stick - it is drier and the cardboard does not warp from moisture and the paper does not wrinkle from dampness.

And here's a snowflake template to help you , which is perfect for this paper craft for the New Year. To reduce the size of the template, press and hold the ctrl button and at the same time roll the mouse wheel - towards you (or away from you) to change the size. Then place a sheet of paper on the monitor screen and trace the outline of a snowflake glowing through the paper.

And here are some more ideas for silhouette round appliques made from paper for DIY decorations for the New Year.

Cut out a ring from black cardboard. At the bottom we glue a semicircular white snowdrift. – we attach white silhouettes of Christmas trees to it. Using a hole punch in the shape of snowflakes or stars, we make a small scattering of stars and glue them onto the black ring. Using a cotton swab and white gouache, apply small white dots on a black background.

Or we cut out silhouette layers from white paper (a row of houses) and red paper (Santa Claus’s sleigh and horse). Stack the layers within a circular silhouette.

Carved crafts

made of paper for the New Year.

If we bend the paper slits from their cut place, we will get the effect of a voluminous paper craft. Below we see a paper Christmas tree made using this technique. A sheet of paper was folded in half along the axial vertical line. And they made oblique cuts - 2 small ones at the top, then two larger ones below, two even larger ones, and so on. Then they unfolded the paper and folded each cut section downwards - it turned out to be a carved paper Christmas tree for the New Year (left photo below).

You can only make small CORNER cuts with a paper cutting knife - and bend these corners, getting the shape of triangular teeth.

Using the same technique, you can make three-dimensional In the same technique, you can make three-dimensional 3D crafts. This is how they are made New Year trees made of paper or white cardboard.

Take a flat triangular piece of cardboard and use a knife or blade to make it vertical cuts(without touching the edges of the triangle with scissors). And then we bend these cuts - one forward, another back, the third forward, the fourth back and so on - alternating. Before you start bending, you need to fold our triangle in half along the central vertical line - then all these bends will have an even central edge - both in front and behind.

If the cut lines are made not straight horizontal (as in the left photo), but wavy or oblique like on other Christmas trees with photos, then we will get interesting silhouette volumetric paper Christmas tree crafts.

You can also turn a flat paper piece into a voluminous convex Christmas tree (3D craft) in this way (as in the photo below).

We cut an ordinary flat round piece of cardboard in a spiral - (draw a snail on it, and make a cut along the line with scissors). And then we lift the middle of this snail up and create a spiral-spring in the shape of a herringbone.

To prevent the Christmas tree from folding back, it can be supplemented with a ROD - an axis holder, so to speak (as was done in the right photo below). There, a wooden stick on top holds the center of the spiral (on glue), and at the bottom the stick is based on a piece of plasticine or another pedestal.

And note that the edges of the Christmas tree in the photo to the right are curly (with a lace border). This is achieved if the spiral snail is drawn not with straight lines, but with wavy lines, and cut accordingly along these lines.

We also have a very large and detailed article on our website. There you will find a lot of ideas for creating paper Christmas trees for the New Year.

And in this article I will give an idea for a very simple Christmas tree made from paper disks. We cut paper circles - 2 pieces of each size. Fold each paper circle in half. We put halves of the same size into each other - with a corner in the shape of a house roof. It turns out 5 corners of different sizes. And from them we begin to assemble our paper Christmas tree - first we glue the smallest TOP PAIR onto the sheet, then inside it we put a little more, then even more and so on until we assemble a Christmas tree - a great idea for the New Year from white paper, which is always in excess.

Crafts for the New Year

FROM STRIPES OF PAPER.

Here are a couple of ideas for you on how you can make original Christmas wreaths from paper cut into short strips with your own hands and with your children’s hands.

In the first master class, we cut green (double-sided in color) paper into strips 10 cm long. We fold each strip into a small bowl. Cut out a donut-shaped base ring from a pizza box. And onto this base we glue our pots of paper strips - we glue them with a jagged “comb” up (as shown in the photo below).

And here’s another idea for the New Year made from paper – also from strips and also in the form of a wreath craft. You can cut each strip on both sides into 2 cloves (like a flag). And just glue them onto the base ring for the wreath. We glue them - wrapping them around the ring and gluing the two sides of the flag together. We decorate the paper wreath with sparkles and fluffy balls,

You can roll up a SPRING from two long strips of paper - glue a bright light made of colored yellow and red paper to it - and you will get a candle.

Craft-POSTCARD

for the New Year made of paper.

For this Santa Claus clamshell craft you need two-way red paper - and a sheet of white or blue cardboard.

We glue the red silhouette onto a rectangular sheet of paper so that its HANDS extend wide open beyond the edges of the blue cardboard sheet.
Then all that remains is to paste on this red silhouette of Santa Claus a white silhouette of a beard, with a pompom, and in the middle of the beard, stick a pink face detail.
Use a black marker to draw eyes, buttons, pockets. Draw a nose with a red marker. And then draw a line onto which the children will glue a chain of flags.

So I drew the outlines of all the details of this New Year's paper craft. You can trace the outline of Santa's details by placing a piece of paper directly on your glowing computer monitor. To enlarge or reduce a picture– roll the mouse wheel while holding down the CTRL button on your keyboard.

You will find even more ideas for creating Santa Claus crafts from paper and more in our special article dedicated only to this character beloved by all children.

Paper accordion crafts

for the new year.

An ordinary paper fan, which children love to fold in hot weather, can warm you with the flame of warm ideas on cold New Year's days.

You can make a multi-tiered paper Christmas tree like this for the New Year. In it, each tier-floor is a long wide strip of paper folded into a small accordion. Each accordion is glued overlapping each other - starting from the bottom, and slowly moving to the top.

And if such a strip is twisted in a circle, we get the shape of a corrugated pancake. Different sizes of such corrugated rounds will give us a pyramid in the form of an elegant Christmas tree made of paper. For the New Year, you can place a real masterpiece made by yourself in the center of the table. Tiers of colored paper can be sprayed with hairspray and quickly sprinkled with fine nail glitter.

Such a Christmas tree made of paper will look elegant and beautiful if you use ordinary gift wrapping as the paper material - it will already have a beautiful colored pattern - for example, with cheerful polka dots, as in the photo below.

You can also use these round accordion fans to make beautiful New Year’s crafts in the shape of a snowman or a decorative paper snowflake pendant.

We make a round fan from music paper (before this, we artificially age the paper, yellow it with tea or grease it with a brush dipped in coffee, dry it, and smooth it with an iron). Using hot glue from a Klim gun, place a store-bought plastic snowflake in the center of the round fan. And from an old New Year's card we cut out a round element of the picture and paste it in the center - we get a paper snowflake craft for the New Year.

Your round fan doesn't have to be in the shape of an EVEN CIRCLE. You can give the fan a patterned shape - jagged edges, openwork holes (as in the photo with the snowflake craft below).

Below I found a diagram that shows how to create such a patterned round fan in stages. Please note that the edge teeth are obtained from the fact that the fan, while still folded, is cut at an angle at one end.

The holes come from triangular slits in the side of the fan. And so that the fan itself easily assembles into a circle, we see a round hole punctured by a needle - from the opposite end of the fan - in this place all the blades are threaded through the needle and thread - and thanks to this, the fan is pulled together tightly in its center and fixes this tie with a knot of thread ends.

Of course you can get by and without thread and needle– fold a round fan from several coal fans. The photo diagram below shows how this is done with your own hands.

The shape of the fan teeth gives interesting shapes to these paper snowflakes. In the photo instructions below we see different variations of such paper crafts for the New Year. Each new pattern of cuts and cuts gives us a new interesting snowflake when unfolded.

Angels for the New Year

Made from paper and cardboard.

You can make an angel craft using the fan fold technique from white office paper. First, fold a round fan out of white paper (in the same way as above we folded it for a tiered Christmas tree - also with the center gathered on a thread). Then, on this fan circle, outline the outlines of an angel (head, wings, dress) and cut along the drawn line. You will get a paper angel craft for the New Year as in the photo below.

And for children at school you can make these simple angel crafts from a narrow paper cone. The wings are a semicircle with two cuts in the middle - the top of the cone is threaded through them (see photo below).

Then a face is glued to the top of the cone (a semicircle made of cardboard). Then we make the hair - we bend the rectangle of paper into two unequal parts - a short fold for the bangs, a long one for the back of the hair. We cut each part into a fringe.

You can make such a solid angel for the New Year from thick paper with a foil side or from shiny cardboard. For this craft, we make only one flat piece (as in the photo below). We make 2 cuts with scissors - then we bring the two sides of this workpiece back, join them and put the cuts on each other. The result is a voluminous New Year's craft Angel (as in the photo below).

And here is an angel made of paper - as a window sticker for the New Year. Below I give a diagram for cutting out such an angel for a window. You can translate a picture with a pencil directly from your laptop screen by placing a piece of paper directly on the monitor screen. If you want to enlarge or reduce the drawing diagram, you just need to roll the mouse wheel while holding down the Ctrl key on your keyboard.

If you have lace paper napkins, you can make such an elegant angel for the New Year from this openwork paper. They can be used to decorate a postcard, front door, or use as a toy for the New Year tree.

You will find even more ideas for crafts in the form of angels in our special article

Paper crafts for the New Year,

cut into strips.

And here is a packet of ideas for New Year crafts made from paper strips. From colored paper (colored on both sides) we cut out strips of the same width. And by gluing them together in a given fold position, we get shaped frames - in the form of a snowman’s hat, in the form of his body, the head of his hands. By connecting the strip frame parts with each other, we get a solid craft made of colored paper for the New Year.

For crafts made from thin frame parts, it is better to use strips of paper glued together (3-4 pieces each, or cardboard (two-color) - this way we will get a dense craft that will not deform under its own weight.

For the same technique (paper strips), you can use not only colored paper as a craft material, but also any other one. Ordinary strips of paper can be cut out from a magazine or gift wrapping - as was done in the example of the fake snowflake in the photo below.

After gluing the craft, the end edge of the flat cut can be dipped first in glue and then in nail glitter.

You don't have to be a quilling master to make an elegant paper snowflake. It is enough just to cut strips of paper of the same length, then glue loops from them (they will also turn out to be the same size). And then fold these loops in a circle (gluing in the center) - and we get a round base for the snowflake (as in the photo below). We decorate the glued loops in the center with cardboard snowflakes (or store-bought plastic ones), then with round pieces and small paper fans.

You can come up with a different pattern using paper loops of different sizes and get new results. For example, you can hang this paper star as a Christmas tree decoration for the New Year.

New Year made of paper

for quilling.

In city stores you can find kits for children's creativity using the Quilling technique - these are bags with strips of colored paper - already cut evenly. You can use these strips to make any New Year's paper crafts. There are already ready-made Snowflake patterns using the quilling technique, with a ready-made number of stripes of the desired color.

Or you can simply buy multi-colored quilling kits (without being tied to a specific craft) and create your own fantasy works from them for the New Year. You can create entire small masterpieces from paper. Look at the photo below - nothing complicated or scary - all the shapes are simple (drops, circles, curved drops). A small Christmas picture inside a single ring.

By the way, the ring can be made from a wide round sleeve of adhesive tape. Using a knife (or better yet, a file), cut off a narrow ring from the tape sleeve. Paint it white gouache, spray it with hairspray (to set the color) or wrap it with glitter tape. And then, inside this closed form, create your New Year’s picture. So you will get a DIY Christmas tree pendant for the New Year from plain paper.

You can make THICK cast crafts from quilling material. This New Year's penguin is a large winding in the shape of a droplet.

Several droplets of different shapes create the image of an angel using the quilling technique.

Using the same principle, you can make a Santa Claus craft from twisted paper.

The youngest children, who are just beginning to master the basics of quilling techniques with their own hands, will be able to try their hand at a craft in the form of a simple placement of droplets. Round. In the image of a Christmas wreath.

Non-standard quilling technique

In crafts for the New Year.

Paper strips can be laid not in round rolls, but in puff layers. The Christmas flower craft with the photo below was made using this laying technique.

You can make a similar thing using a regular comb.

In the photo below we see a master class on this craft. The paper is twisted through the teeth of a regular flat comb (or a special quilling comb).

Using this technique you can make elegant round decorations for the New Year tree. Or create decor for a postcard. Decorate gift wrapping for the New Year with your own hands.

These are the ideas I have collected for you today in our article.

I am sure that you will find your New Year's craft from paper and the magic of your hands. May the holiday be joyful and successful for the accomplishment of good deeds and good desires.

Hello, dear readers! A Christmas tree toy - a gift looks incredibly cute, and of course, such “gifts” before the New Year holidays can be bought literally everywhere, but hand-made decorations are much more valuable! So why not make such pendant gifts yourself, practically from scrap materials. Well, how exactly to recreate such lovely Christmas tree decorations, the “Comfort in the House” website will tell you in detail and show you in the framework of this review.

How to make a New Year's toy as a gift.

To work you need to prepare:

Foam plastic (you can use unnecessary ceiling plinths or liners from household appliances).
Decorative cord (sold in sewing departments).
Double sided tape.
Scissors and stationery knife.
Wrapping paper or colored holographic paper.
Adhesive transparent moment.

DIY Christmas tree decorations as a gift.

If you have a thick layer of polystyrene foam, then simply cut out a cube of the required size from it with a stationery knife, the optimal size is 1.5 * 1.5 cm. If you don’t have such thick foam plastic, then you can go the following way: cut out layers of the required size from unnecessary foam baseboards , and then glue them all together using double-sided tape, and trim the uneven edges with a stationery knife. Below you can see how we resolved this issue.

Take holographic paper (you can just take packaging paper).

We measure the width and length on it: the width should fit two cubes with a margin of a couple of millimeters, the length of the package should correspond to five cubes. In our case, with a cube size of 1.5 cm, it turns out: width - 3.3 cm, length 7.5 cm.

Cut out the blank from paper. We glue small pieces of double-sided tape on top and bottom.

We also glue tape to two opposite side walls of the foam cube.

Place the foam cube on top of the sheet strictly in the center.

We begin to roll (pack) the product.

We place the packaged cube vertically, peel off the protective film from the tape on the side walls of the cube and glue the first part of the paper to it (see photo below), then the second part. Well, we do the same with the opposite parts of the paper located on the other side of the cube.

The result is a product with sharp ends of the packaging sticking out. On each of them you need to glue a small piece of double-sided tape on the inside. And press tightly onto the cube.

We take a decorative cord, approximately 30 cm long. We place it under the packed cube, lift the ends of the cord to the top, cross each other and draw them along the opposite side walls of the “gift”. Turn the gift over and tie a knot on top.

We tie a bow from a similar cord and glue it to the top of the “box”.

We tie the free ends of the cord into a knot.

And here is the result!

Today we told you how to make a New Year's gift for the Christmas tree with your own hands. In fact, there is nothing difficult, the main thing is to try, and you will definitely succeed! Happy crafting, friends! See you again on the pages of our website.
