Do-it-yourself New Year's toys of large sizes step by step. New life for old Christmas balls

Hi all! Nowadays everyone wants to decorate the Christmas tree with handmade toys! And this is not only a tribute to fashion, because such crafts carry a special atmosphere of kindness and comfort). They are unusual, unique and only yours. Memories and expectations are associated with them, because while you were making them, you were dreaming of a holiday, comfort, and a happy future.

Last time we did it ourselves. Now let's make some wonderful jewelry. You will be surprised how interesting the crafts are and how easy it is to make them. And the materials for creativity are available and the most unexpected.

With such toys you can decorate both indoor and outdoor New Year's beauty. And if there is a homemade competition at school, your child is guaranteed a prize!

Light bulbs, plastic bottles, scraps, buttons, dried fruits... But let's start with the simplest thing - paper.

The first thing you can make from corrugated paper is Christmas balls. They are made according to the same principle as the Christmas trees in the previous master class. The difference is that the toys are based on a foam ball. It can also be made of wood or papier-mâché. Such blanks are now sold in any craft store or on the Internet.

The paper is cut into narrow stripes 1 cm wide and 3-4 centimeters long. Next, the paper is rolled into a rosette.

Having made the required number of such flowers, we begin to glue them to the foam ball. If you add more beads, you will get a very elegant toy.

Here's another decor option:

You can make snowflakes in a similar way. We cut out a shape from cardboard according to the template. We twist roses or buds from corrugated paper in any way and glue them onto the snowflake blank. We make a loop to hang the craft on the Christmas tree and get a wonderful toy.

Using a foam egg, you can make such an interesting cone with candies.

To begin with, we will paste the blank with brown paper. We cut out rectangles from corrugated paper measuring approximately 5x3 cm.

Glue them together and cut out an oval. You will need about 70-80 such blanks. It all depends on the size of the foam blank. We roll up the finished scales and glue them to toothpicks.

Now, starting from the very top of the egg, we pierce the foam with toothpicks and attach the scales. We arrange them in a checkerboard pattern. We make several scales without toothpicks to cover the lower part of the egg with them. You can take lollipop candies and insert them between the scales.

Here is another option for pine cone toys made of corrugated paper:

But, if you don’t have paper on hand, but have a lot of plastic bottles, you can make New Year’s crafts from them.

How to make a Christmas tree toy out of paper - step-by-step master class

And now we will make such a wonderful angel out of paper, which you can either hang on a Christmas tree or give as a New Year’s card.

Everything is done quite simply. Take a sheet of paper. The color depends on your imagination. You can use white and then color it, or you can take colored one. Now we bend it in even strips into an accordion. The result will be corrugated paper. Cut the sheet in half.

We decorate the bottom edge of the craft with adhesive colored tape, and glue the top edge. The result will be a skirt. I pressed the top to let the glue set well.

While the bottom is drying, we make wings for the angel. To do this, take the second half of the paper, cut it in half and carry out the same actions as with the first large half.

That is, we glue the adhesive tape and glue the top part.

Now all that remains is to assemble the angel. Glue the narrow part of the wing and the wide one (shown by arrows in the figure) and attach the wing to the figure.

We do the same with the second wing. All that remains is to make the head. To do this, take a strip of paper 20 centimeters long, maybe longer, and 1 cm wide. Roll it into a roll and glue it so that the paper does not unravel. We make a strip of colored tape that we glue to the head. It plays the role of both a halo and a pendant. Glue the head to the angel.

All. the craft is ready. It took a little time. And the result is wonderful.

Making a Christmas tree toy from a plastic bottle

The easiest option is to make snowflakes, which only require the bottom of a bottle. Toys made from this material are suitable for both a street Christmas tree and an apartment New Year’s beauty.

Everything is quite simple here. Cut off the bottom. It is better to take bottles of different sizes, then the snowflakes will be of different sizes. Next, draw a snowflake on the plastic. This can be done with felt-tip pens, or a marker, or paints - whatever you have on hand.

We make a hole, pass the thread, and the toy is ready. Can be hung on the Christmas tree.

More schemes and snowflake templates are available.

A Christmas tree cannot be complete without bells. It won't be difficult to make them from bottles. Watch the video master class:

Here are some more ideas for inspiration:

If you cut off the top of the bottles and insert LED lamps into it, you will get a garland.

If you have an old garland in which the caps are broken or lost, you can replace the missing ones with homemade ones. Cut off the bottom of the bottle, make a hole in it for the lamp, and cut the edges and unfold them like petals.

In addition, by painting bottles you can also make beautiful crafts, such as this house:

Or these wonderful penguins.

If you need Santa Claus for your Christmas tree, don’t rush to the store to get him. Take a plastic bottle and make it yourself. This Santa Claus under the tree will look much better.

And here is a version of snowmen, also under the Christmas tree:

Even this beauty can come from unnecessary bottles:

So, show your imagination and everything will work out for you.

DIY Christmas tree toy made from a light bulb - master class

An unexpected material for manufacturing is an ordinary glass light bulb. Its pear-shaped shape is reminiscent of many factory-made Christmas decorations. They are used by painting various figures of animals and New Year's characters. For example, you can make a snowman like this.

Or these fabulous animals.

Here you can watch a detailed master class on how to make a penguin Christmas tree toy out of a light bulb, which looks better than one bought in a store:

But if you don’t know how to draw, don’t despair. Take colorful glitter and glue. We coat the light bulb with glue, then immediately sprinkle it with glitter before the glue has time to dry. As a result, we get such a beautiful decoration.

Using the technique of drawing and appliqué, you can create Santa Claus.

And this is a fairly simple drawing that anyone can handle.

You can also just draw some patterns.

In addition to painting, you can remove the base of the light bulb, leaving only the bulb, fill it with colored pebbles, confetti or colored sand (fill it in layers) and get a nice decoration too.

There are many options, try it, use your imagination.

DIY Christmas tree toy for kindergarten or school

If you have a small child, you will certainly have to deal with the theme of New Year's toys for kindergarten or junior high school. If suddenly a child participates in a school crafts competition, such toys will provide him with prizes!

You can make, in principle, any craft from the above. However, I would like to draw attention to another unusual, but which has become quite popular material - pasta. The store sells a lot of different types, shapes and configurations, which really inspires creativity. For example, you can make a Christmas tree like this.

But I would like to show you an easy-to-make craft - a snowflake. Both from paper and from pasta – there are a huge number of design options!

We start by drawing a snowflake diagram ourselves, or finding a suitable one on the Internet. Next, put the pasta as in the diagram and glue them together. All that remains is to paint it with spray paint and make a loop to hang the toy on the Christmas tree.

This is such beauty).

And all this was done with your own hands!

DIY paper Christmas toy

You can make a fairly simple but beautiful craft from paper strips of different colors.

We start by taking several sheets of paper of different colors and cutting out strips. In total you need to make 8 such stripes.

The width is 4 cm, and the length can be different and depends on the size of the future figure.

We fold the strips into a stack, bend them in half and make small cuts along the edges at the bend.

We do the same on the opposite side. Then we open the folded strips and tie them with thread in the middle and at the bend.

Then coat the center of the workpiece with glue and take a strip at the beginning from one edge. We bend and glue. Then we glue the second strip, the third.

We hold the glued strips and glue the remaining ones.

Having done one side, we move on to the second half and do everything in the same way.

When we finish gluing all the strips, we will get such a figure.

Straighten it and get a round craft.

We make a pendant and get a Christmas tree decoration. You can also decorate with rhinestones and ribbons. In general, this is up to everyone’s creative discretion.

Symbol of the New Year 2019 - DIY pig

Well, in conclusion, the craft symbol of this year is a pig. Without her. The symbol of the year must be on the Christmas tree, on a table or shelf. It doesn’t matter where, the main thing is that he is there.

So let’s watch, do and prepare for the main holiday of the year. Good luck!

In Russia, the New Year tree was not always decorated with glossy painted balls, tinsel and shimmering garlands. In the pre-revolutionary period, a Christmas tree was installed in the house exclusively for the Nativity of Christ and decorated with purely symbolic things: apples - in honor of the triumph of Good over Evil, angels and candles - the embodiment of purity and lightness, six-pointed stars - in memory of the Star of Bethlehem. Any unusual New Year's toys were either transported from distant foreign lands, or created by tireless children's hands at home from scrap materials. And even in that difficult era, when powerful leaders suppressed any hints of the usual Christmas rituals, the Soviet people, devoted to customs, still passed on their vintage Christmas tree decorations from generation to generation, hoping for a speedy revival of the fairy-tale tradition. And so it happened...

Today, the Christmas tree is perhaps the most important detail for the New Year. Modern souvenir stores offer hundreds of standard and designer jewelry options for the green guest. The first ones are not to everyone’s taste, the second ones are not affordable for everyone. Therefore, it is better to make balls, pendants and all sorts of figures yourself, just like in the good old days of our beloved grandmothers. Such a DIY Christmas tree toy made from cotton wool, felt, paper, fabric or light bulbs will be completely authentic, conveying the features of the author and the traditions of the whole family. Also, a New Year’s craft according to our step-by-step instructions will be an excellent option for a competition at school or in kindergarten.

9. At the last stage, glue a loop onto the product and decorate it with a pattern of thin colored ribbons, beads, and small New Year’s decor.

   

10. This is how you can quickly and easily make a surprise toy out of colored paper for your kindergarten Christmas tree. All that remains is to wait for the festive matinee and admire the seething emotions of the children unwrapping their unusual Christmas tree decorations.

Step-by-step instructions for making a small collection of unusual toys for the Christmas tree with your own hands for a competition in kindergarten

1. Prepare bases for future toys - empty glass transparent balls. If you are doing creative work with children, give preference to plastic blanks. In the following stages, using a variety of available materials, you will create a whole basket of Christmas tree decorations, bright and completely different from each other.

   

2. Option 1. Remove the fastener from the workpiece, pour 1 tbsp into the ball. white dry glitter and gently push 4-5 small decorative cones inside. Lock the cover back. The designer toy is ready!

   

3. Option2. Select small fluffy pompoms of different colors and sizes and fill the transparent ball to the top with them. Do not compact the toy tightly, let the parts move freely. Attach the lid and the ball is ready!

   

4. Option3. Fill the empty blank with a small amount of fine glitter rain to decorate the tree. Install the mount on the top and shake the toy. Shimmering “rains” will stick to the walls of the ball and form an unusual, bewitching pattern.

   

5. Option 4. Cut multi-colored corrugated paper in pastel colors into strips 1 cm wide and 5-7 cm long. Tie several strips into one bouquet and carefully place it into an empty transparent blank with the knot facing up. The next Christmas tree toy is ready.

Then pour some of the dissolved liquid into the transparent blank. Slowly tilt the ball in different directions so that the varnish spreads and forms fancy patterns on the inner surface of the Christmas tree toy.

   

9. Option 8. The finishing touch to our collection of crafts is the simplest. It is enough to drop a couple of lush, bright feathers into a transparent ball and close it tightly with the usual fastener.
