Do-it-yourself New Year's waterproof toy for the competition. Video selection of the best toys for a Christmas tree made of wood
Snowflakes are an essential part of winter and Christmas decorations! There are many ways and options for making such crafts. Today we will look at a very interesting, and most importantly, simple way to make a snowflake from knitting threads. Making such a snowflake is very easy and fast, so you can start working with the children.
To make a snowflake we need:
- thread for knitting white color;
- 6 transparent beads;
- scissors;
- needle;
- school notebook or book.
It is not necessary to make such a snowflake from white yarn. You can take a thread of any color. The size of the finished snowflake will depend on the object on which we will wind the thread. You can take a common notebook or book and wind a white thread. The thicker we wind, the more voluminous and thicker the snowflake will be. But you don’t need to wind a lot, because in this case the pattern of the finished product will be poorly visible.
Then carefully remove the workpiece and pull it in the center with a thread of the same color, tying 2 tight knots. That is, we capture both sides of the resulting ring and tie a knot.
Now cut with scissors from both edges. We carefully stretch them with scissor blades so that the threads are then approximately the same length.
We turn the workpiece over and distribute the threads approximately equally. We need to see the center of the workpiece. We do this on both sides, forming a circle of threads. In this position, place the workpiece on a solid surface.
We divide the threads into 6 approximately identical parts. You do not need to count each thread, just distribute it in bunches by eye.
Now, stepping back a little from the center, we drag the bundle with a thread.
We do this with each bundle. Drag on the same level.
In the center, we already have a small six-pointed snowflake. Next, we will form a new tier of snowflakes. To do this, we need to divide each beam into 2 identical parts. These parts must be combined with adjacent beams.
And again we tie the resulting bundles.
To decorate our snowflake, take 6 transparent beads. We pass a piece of thread inside. You can use a needle with a wide eye for this if it goes through the hole in the bead.
We tie the bundle again. We do this with each bundle.
Now we just have to trim the brushes. We cut them with scissors.
In just a few minutes, you can make a beautiful voluminous snowflake from knitting threads.
This beautiful airy snowflake can be used as a Christmas toy to decorate the Christmas tree.
Christmas deer toy on a Christmas tree made of ice cream sticks
The next toy is in the form of a cute deer made of wooden ice cream sticks. An entertaining process and amazing results are guaranteed!
Required materials and tools:
- wooden ice cream sticks;
- stationery knife;
- glue;
- paint and brush;
- decorative elements.
At the initial stage, it is necessary to prepare a paper stencil. There are two ways to do this: print from the Internet or draw with your own hands. In any case, the picture subsequently needs to be cut with scissors.
We lay out the wooden sticks close to each other and transfer the contour of the deer using the blank. A pencil is quite suitable as a tool. Its lead lies well on a wooden surface.
After the end of the laborious process, all the elements must be glued together. The result should be the basis for a Christmas tree toy.
We begin the entertaining stage of the decor with painting a faceless deer. Colors can be very different: from traditional red to bright yellow. However, you should not combine more than two types. Otherwise, decorative elements may be lost against such a background.
At the final stage, we fix the loop and decorate the base of the toy. Ribbons, buttons, beads - this is not a complete list of items that can be used to decorate a toy.
A cute handmade Christmas deer will certainly surprise friends and family with its originality. Using the described principle, you can assemble a whole hand made collection of toys in the form of Christmas trees, shoes or hearts. Creative inspiration and fantasy!

Christmas ball from a disk
Decorate the Christmas tree New Year– what could be more interesting? Consider in this short lesson a master class on creating a wonderful ball from a disk.
For work we need:
- white and blue felt;
- disk;
- white cotton yarn;
- glue;
- decorative buttons and other embellishments.
To begin with, we will cut out snow and a blue sky from felt, the diameter of this should be equal to the diameter of the disk.
Next, we take hook No. 2 and white yarn, we start knitting the back of our decoration, it should have a large number of gaps, because thanks to them, the disk itself will be visible. Choose any pattern for this.
The diameter of the reverse side must match the diameter of the disc. Now let's start decorating the outside. Glue multi-colored buttons to the felt.
Then we take a thread and sew on beads, they will imitate snowflakes. Here's what we get.
Now you need to sew together the two parts of the product, inserting a disk in the middle. We sew and sew the ribbon on top, and we also sheathe the contour of the disk with a white ribbon.
Here is our work and ready. This decoration can be hung on any Christmas tree!
Toys - do-it-yourself paper umbrellas
See how to make these here.
It is difficult to imagine a New Year's mood without snow, so we will dilute the home environment with snowflakes. They can be made from a variety of materials, from plain paper to wood and glass. Consider a method for making decorative snowflakes from glue.
We prepare all the necessary tools and materials:
- glue gun;
- glue for a gun (a couple of sticks are enough);
- baking paper or foil;
- any cream;
- glue;
- brushes;
- scissors;
- sequins;
- thread for hanging.
The whole process will take no more than an hour, everything is so fast and elementary that you can entrust the execution to the child. This craft is also suitable for kindergarten. First of all, we select the drawing of the future snowflake. You can search on the Internet, or you can come up with your own.
We pay attention so that there are no too small details, in them the glue will merge into an ordinary blot.
We transfer the drawing to baking paper / foil, grease the surface with any cream - without it, the glue will be problematic to peel off.
We heat up the glue gun and begin to carefully trace the contour of the snowflake with a strip of liquid glue. We make sure that there are no separate lines left, they must all intersect, otherwise individual parts will simply fall off.
After the New Year's snowflake is completely circled, let it dry for a few minutes.
Dry glue is easily cut with scissors, at this stage we cut off all the imperfections (protruding drops, excess glue), and correct the shape of the snowflake itself.
Now you can start the decorating step. This will require glue. With a brush, apply a thin layer of glue to the surface of the snowflake.
Sprinkle with glitter, white glitter will create a more natural effect.
Let the glitter glue dry for 20-25 minutes, after which we attach the thread for hanging. Everything, the snowflake is ready to decorate the Christmas tree and give the New Year mood.

DIY 3D Christmas tree toy
Decorating the Christmas tree with the whole family is a real pleasure. The very preparation for the new year causes dizziness, anticipation of a fabulous holiday. Each of the family members is busy with their own affairs, for example, searching for gifts, recipes for the festive table, making New Year's decorations with their own hands.
Why not decorate the Christmas tree with handmade toys from natural materials, in particular, pine cones, on the eve of the New Year? An easy-to-use craft looks very harmonious on green branches.
We prepare for work:
- pine cone;
- clothespin;
- tinsel;
- plastic snowflake;
- scissors;
- glue.
In the craft, we will use the opened cone of ordinary pine. However, absolutely any variety of cones, for example, Crimean pine, is suitable for making this decoration.
And another moment. As a decorative element, a plastic snowflake purchased at a needlework store is used in the work. If it is not possible to get such a part, it can be replaced with corrugated paper, plastic flowers cut from cups.
In general, there is something to think about at your leisure. How to make a cone a decent frame? The process of making crafts is very simple. First you need to glue the snowflake to the clothespin.
We glue a new decorative element of the craft in the center of the snowflake.
It remains to attach a pine cone on top. We do not regret Clay. The bump should stick tightly to the plastic snowflake, not to the tinsel.
The decoration is ready. It turned out to be a kind of candle.
Of course, if you wish, you can pre-paint the cones in different colors, decorate with beads or sparkles. We won't do it. The resulting candle looks very natural, harmoniously on the green paws of our fluffy tree.
Here's the proof. Bump, like a bump. Nothing extra. Even the red color of the clothespin does not confuse the eye (although, no doubt, the tree would fit better here).
A very original craft for a Christmas tree made of light bulbs - video tutorial
Children are preparing for the celebration of the New Year - they learn scripts, poems, congratulations and make winter-themed crafts. It can be applications on windows, paper garlands or Christmas toys. We, perhaps, will stop on the last variant. Our Christmas tree is already decorated with homemade bunnies, snowmen and other figurines.
Today we will make a pasta craft in the form of spirals. We propose to dwell on the simplest and most understandable master class, which children of primary school age can independently repeat.
We prepare for work:
- Paper triangle;
- a piece of plastic from a folder or folder;
- PVA glue;
- spirals;
- watercolor with a brush;
- ribbon or thread for a loop;
- scissors.
We have a primitive white paper Christmas tree template in the form of a triangle, scissors and a plastic rectangle from a binder.
Let's connect them together and cut out a transparent plastic blank for New Year's pasta crafts - Christmas trees
Of course, sometimes gaps will be visible between the details, but they do not spoil the craft at all. So even better. The tree has distinct branches.
It was the turn to pick up watercolor, a thick brush and cover the Christmas tree with emerald greenery. In order not to stain the table, we put a regular landscape sheet under the blank.
It remains to hang bright decorations on the prickly paws of the tree. Let's use PVA. It can be shells, bows or the same spirals. In our case, the whorls represent long candles. Let's paint them in a juicy red color.
Attach a loop to the top of the craft. Here it is better to use a stapler or superglue. Otherwise, how to hang a pasta toy on a Christmas tree?
A craft glued to an ordinary clothespin will hold on tightly enough on the branches. Then the loop can not be engaged.
This is what our decoration looks like on a real Christmas tree among balls and tinsel. Handsomely?
Children's craft - pasta Christmas tree
This New Year's toy is made in 20 minutes from simple improvised means.
The work will require the following materials:
- the basis for the cone is a foam ball or an egg from under children's toys;
- brown velvet colored paper;
- foam balls or blanks in the form of cones;
- narrow tape for a loop;
- glue gun.
We cut a piece 10 cm long from a satin ribbon. Cut out droplets from velvet paper - scales of a future cone about 1 cm in size. Paper can be absolutely any color, because New Year's cones are distinguished by their diversity of colors and colors.
First of all, we glue the tape to the wide base of the toy - to the foam blank.
We begin to glue the scales from the side of the loop. We paste them over the entire surface of the workpiece.
So that the bump does not look boring, we crumble the foam and attach the balls to the edges of the scales in the upper part.
New Year's snowy cone is ready in minutes. Such toys will not only save money on the purchase of Christmas tree decorations, but also decorate the Christmas tree and the interior of the room.
One of the most popular Christmas decorations can be called a paper Christmas angel, which can be made according to the proposed master class. Such an angel is made very simply and quickly.
Necessary materials:
- White sheet of A4 format;
- scissors;
- pencil;
- ruler;
- glue;
- glitters of gold color.
First, we cut out 2 squares of the desired size from paper, on which the final size of the future angel will depend. In our case, the squares are 9x9 cm.
Now we fold both squares with an accordion.
On each of the blanks, it is required to make one fold in opposite directions. This fold should be located about 1/3 of the distance from the edge.
On each of the blanks, it is necessary to glue the side side, while the upper part will be the wings of an angel.
Now let's start creating the head. To do this, cut off a strip from a sheet of paper, the width of which is equal to the accordion, with which we folded the squares. After that, we begin to twist the cut off narrow strip, periodically fastening it with glue.
To create a head of the desired size, several strips may be required, we take as many as necessary to make a proportional craft.
We make the remaining end of the narrow strip free, while creating a halo. We fix a strip of paper at the bottom and leave a small end.
The resulting workpiece is glued between two previously bent accordions.
With the help of golden sequins, we decorate our craft.
Our Christmas paper angel is ready.
DIY Christmas decorations are the most original decorations. Still, another such ball, snowman or animal cannot be found. It is made in a single copy. Christmas trees decorated with homemade children's toys look incredibly colorful and unique.
Today we propose to consider a simple master class and answer the question: how to make a New Year's craft from a plastic cup? Of course, other improvised materials will be used in the work. But! At the heart of the decoration will still be a glass of yogurt.
So, for crafts you will need:
- cotton wool;
- tinsel;
- a plastic cup;
- sequins;
- satin ribbon or thread;
- glue;
- scissors.
At the first stage, the guys cannot cope on their own. You have to turn to adults for help. It is necessary to make two neat holes in a plastic cup. In a second, dad will pierce even holes with an awl, through which we will stretch a satin ribbon - the handle of a future flower basket.
We fix the ends of the tape with small knots.
Now take a piece of snow-white cotton wool and put it in the basket. Of course, any other filler can be used for this purpose. However, we associate cotton wool with snow and the New Year. Moreover, it is incredibly light, and therefore does not weigh down the craft in the least.
We will cut off several short parts from tinsel, imitate greens in a basket.
The turn has come to grease each sequin with glue and lay a fiery bouquet on the surface of the cotton wool.
As a result, in 15 minutes we got a colorful, light and pretty Christmas decoration - a basket of flowers.
Let's show the New Year's crafts from a plastic cup and improvised materials close-up.
But the basket took its place on the Christmas tree.
This is where we finish the job. It's time to remove the leftover materials used in the manufacture of crafts from the table and go outside for new ideas. A walk in the frosty air always inspires creativity!

How to make Christmas tree decorations from felt?
This material is very fertile, even beginners can create decorations for the New Year holiday from it. At the same time, you do not need to have a sewing machine, since the presented Christmas toys made of felt are sewn by hand.
If you want to create such a Christmas tree, then take:
- cookie cutter;
- green felt;
- scissors;
- light green threads;
- a needle;
- multicolored beads.
Decorate the Christmas tree with beads, you can also use round buttons on the leg.
If you have red and white felt, by combining these colors you will create unusually beautiful Christmas decorations.
If you don’t know what to give to your friend, mother, grandmother for the New Year, you can sew potholders from felt that correspond to the mood of this holiday and hand them over.
To make the following Christmas toys from felt, patterns are not required. But if you are not sure that you can immediately cut the asterisk correctly, then first draw it on a cardboard template, cut it out, and only then attach it to the felt. Outline with chalk, cut out two parts for each toy.
Such blanks are placed one above the other, a synthetic winterizer is placed inside and swept along the edge with a basting. Sew on the beads, attach a loop on top and you can hang decorations on the Christmas tree.
Even small scraps of felt will go into action. Cut out snowflakes of various shapes from them, sew to each loop so that you can hang these products on the Christmas tree.
To make the next decoration, you need to cut a 5 cm wide strip from felt, and if you need a Christmas tree toy for a large Christmas tree, then make a 10–15 cm wide one. Cut one of the long edges of this fabric strip in a straight line, making cuts at the same distance.
Roll this cut ribbon into a tight roll. Stitch the ribbon on top to fix the workpiece in this position. Sew a loop, after which the work can be considered finished.
Decorate the Christmas tree with felt cones. To do this, take the material of light and dark colors.
On cardboard, draw patterns of flowers of different sizes, consisting of 4-8 petals. Thread a strong thread into the needle, string these blanks on it in the following sequence: first put on it a small brown circle with a tail from the same fabric, then put on a small light flower, brown of the same size on it. Next comes a pair of blanks slightly larger in size.
Using this technology, assemble the cone so that the largest blanks are in the center. String further smaller ones, the last - the smallest flower.
If you are crafting with your child, invite him to draw a Christmas tree on paper, cut it out and use this template to create a felt tree. It is decorated with white circles that represent snowflakes.
Under the strict guidance of adults, the child will be able to make a snowman out of felt.
For such a toy, you need to cut a blank from white fabric, consisting of two circles of different sizes. You will need 2 parts for each character. They are not completely sewn along the edge, then a synthetic winterizer is put inside, and only then the remaining slot is swept away. It remains to decorate the figure with a scarf, a hat, sew on facial features from the remnants of the fabric.
If you want to make a New Year's wreath, you can also use felt or other thick fabric for this. For the base, you need to cut two rings from such a canvas and one from a synthetic winterizer or holofiber. This soft filler is placed inside, the edges are swept away.
Now you need to decorate the wreath with gingerbread characters. Look, they are given in the next pattern.
For each, you also need to cut out two parts, seal them with filler, decorate the blanks, following the photo prompt.
DIY Christmas tree toy in the form of a dog
Since 2018 is the year of the dog, do not forget to hang on the tree and a toy made in the form of this animal.
If you want the New Year's toy dog on the Christmas tree to be as voluminous as in the photo, then you need to cut out two outer parts of the body from the fabric, as well as two inner lower ones. Small workpieces are sewn together, and also grind off with a large one. The head will be more voluminous if an insert is sewn at the top.
A Christmas tree toy dog can be made from almost any material. Even a toilet paper roll will do. See how this junk material can be turned into a fun dog.
To do this, it is enough to press the workpiece well from above to designate the ears of the animal. Then you need to paint the sleeve and glue the details of the muzzle, tail and paws of the dog to it.
And here is another idea for such a decoration. If you want the toy to hang on the Christmas tree, then fold the thread into a loop and glue it to it. The bushings are arranged horizontally, then you need to glue the muzzle and paws of the animal from paper to each, paint it all in the appropriate colors.
You can make a lot of funny dogs out of these bushings. It will be enough to glue to each paw and muzzle, on which ears and facial features are drawn, and the dog is ready for the New Year's toy on the Christmas tree.
If you need to quickly decorate trees or a room for this holiday, then inflate balloons, glue two ears to each. Draw the features of the muzzle with a marker, you will get wonderful dogs.
Even old hats can be turned into original dogs. Cut out eyes and ears from felt, and make a nose out of pompoms. Glue these elements on the hat, after which you can admire the work done.
If you have popsicle sticks, glue them onto the cardboard base to create the animal's face and front paws. Attach toy eyes, other facial features, and ears and tail.
From a plastic bottle you can also make a dog for the New Year. The following photo tip will help you create it.
By the way, other elements of decoration for this bright holiday can be made from plastic containers.
New Year's toys from plastic bottles
To make such a pine cone, you need to take:
- brown plastic bottles;
- scissors;
- pliers;
- awl;
- wire;
- beads.
Make a hole in the center of each with an awl. Hold these flowers over the flame of a burner, holding them with pliers. When the blanks have cooled, string them onto the wire, starting with the largest one. Secure with beads so that the elements do not move out.
To make a ball from a plastic bottle, take this container, cut rings of the same size from it.
Now connect all of them together so that the blanks resemble a ball. Tie individual elements using rain.
Now you can decorate the balls with tinsel, sparkles by gluing these elements to the base.
What is a Christmas tree without a New Year's bell? To make such a toy, take:
- plastic bottles;
- scissors;
- glue gun;
- styrofoam ball;
- ribbons;
- organza;
- sandpaper;
- kapron thread;
- decor elements;
- golden paint.
To keep the cut from being sharp, go over it with sandpaper or burn it over a flame.
Paint the products with gold paint. Lower the nylon thread through the neck, to which you need to tie a polystyrene foam ball. The organza ribbon should be glued to the bottom of the bell. Attach the wire to hang the bell on the Christmas tree. But first, don't forget to decorate it however you like.
The wreath will decorate the Christmas tree or decorate the room. To do this, you need to cut the bottoms of plastic bottles, cut them to get such pointed flowers, and then connect them, giving the shape of a wreath.
What else can you make a toy from plastic bottles on a Christmas tree, you will learn about this from the video:

Everyone wants to present a surprise to their loved ones on Christmas and New Year. And you can bring the onset of the celebration closer with your creative forces. Take note of the original ideas that we have collected in the selection below, and then the upcoming winter holidays will sparkle with completely new colors. Do not be afraid to create, involve all the household in the process - this will bring the family closer, and maybe even become the beginning of a new tradition.
winter flowers
It is not difficult to make the New Year's beautiful Christmas tree bloom. In order to make such Christmas and New Year toys with your own hands on the eve of 2018, you don’t even need to use special colored paper, opting for old books or newspapers. Such buds will look original, and you will pay tribute to the now fashionable eco-direction. So let's get started:
- cut out a perfect square from paper;
- fold it as shown in the photo;
- repeat this with the remaining 4 sheets of paper;
- glue the resulting blanks, forming a flower;
- we decorate the middle with tinsel, a bead, in a word, everything that seems suitable to you.
ice shards
Who would have thought that old CDs could be used to create such creative balloons? Yes, in most cases, making Christmas tree decorations will not require either serious material expenses or the skills of a professional designer. Which proves the next master class.
For work, you will need transparent (in principle, you can also use colored ones) plastic or glass balls, an unnecessary CD, scissors, and a glue gun.
- cut the CD into pieces of arbitrary shape and size with scissors;
- we apply droplets of glue on the surface of the ball and fix the “mirror” fragments in the desired order, evenly covering the ball from all sides and leaving no empty spaces.
The result is a wonderful toy that is no different from expensive designer works. Their soft sheen will perfectly complement the overall impression of a magnificent Christmas tree.
cute snowflakes
A simple, but remarkable in its laconism, decoration is snowflakes. Backing material… cores left over after using toilet paper or kitchen towels. Also stock up on scissors, glue, decorative elements in the form of large rhinestones and thin fishing line. Step by step the whole process looks like this:
- crush the sleeve, pressing it well from the edges;
- We cut the sleeve into strips of the same width. Elements are obtained that visually resemble flower petals;
- we glue the resulting blanks in the center, so that we get a flower;
- decorate the middle with rhinestones;
- through one of the petals we pass the fishing line. Everything, the snowflake is ready to soar near the branches of your Christmas tree.
felt fantasy
Here are some more fun DIY crafts. The toy can become both an independent element of a festive decor, and act as an integral part of a whole garland.
- cut out a square from the felt of the desired color;
- draw it as shown in the photo;
- cut with a clerical knife along the lines, not reaching the center;
- glue the strips together, folding the corners on top of each other;
- we alternate actions alternately on one side, then on the other;
- we hang the finished toy on a fishing line, decorating with beads.
If desired, you can create a whole vertical garland of several similar parts, alternating them with beads. The toy can be hung on a Christmas tree or placed in the interior.
Snowball game
It is very easy to make fluffy lumps of snow that will not melt, no matter how warm it would be in your house. We use foam blanks in the form of balls, mother-of-pearl beads, sewing pins, glue, scissors, braid. The process of making such a toy comes down to the following steps:
- string beads on pins;
- smearing the end of the pin with glue for better fixation, stick them into the ball;
- continue like this until we cover the entire surface of the toy with beads;
- we attach a braid or ribbon to the ball, for which we will hang the decoration on the Christmas tree.
funny ninja
Small ninja toys with cute movable eyes will save your homely beautiful Christmas tree from excessive formality. After all, looking at such New Year's decorations, you involuntarily want to smile.
To work, you will need very few materials: dark opaque balls (they can even be made of plastic), narrow ribbons of different colors, toy eyes (a pair for each ninja).
- we wrap each ball with two turns of the ribbon, fastening the bandage of the impromptu fighter to the knot at the back. For greater reliability, the tape can be put on glue.
- glue the eyes on the tape in front, that's all - decorations for the new year can be hung on the Christmas tree.
Beauty cone
Perfectly fit into the New Year's decor ... an ordinary pine cone. It would seem how unpretentious the accessory is, and what wonderful toys can be made from it and how many ideas can be realized. The bump can simply be hung by a rough twine, and the top can be decorated with a beautifully tied satin ribbon bow to match the overall color scheme. Or make Christmas trees from cones, crowning them with numerous multi-colored plasticine balls. It seems to be simple, but it looks really unusual and creative.
Snowflakes from ... pasta
For a prudent and creatively thinking hostess, even pasta can become the basis for creating amazingly beautiful decorations in the new 2018. Fantasy here can be given free rein - after all, each new snowflake can be completely different from the previous one. All that is needed for this is to stock up on as many different types of pasta as possible in the nearest supermarket (flowers, Christmas trees, spirals, shells, etc.). Also, you can not do without glue, white paint and braid (ribbons, fishing line, thread) for hanging.
We form a pattern, starting from the center, observing symmetry. How the toys turn out depends only on your imagination. We glue the parts of the decoration together with glue. At the end of the work, we paint the snowflake white, additionally decorating the decor with sparkles to our liking.
New Year's toys with sequins - festive glamor
You can surprise your relatives on Christmas and New Year's Eve by making unusual, shiny decorations for the Christmas tree with your own hands. A special charm in creating such balls is the process itself, which is addictive and very simple. So, stock up on a small foam ball that fits easily in your hand, sequins of any color, sewing pins.
We fix the sequins to the ball with pins, as shown in the photo, we act sequentially, placing the shiny elements close to each other, avoiding gaps. When the ball is ready, it remains only to place an element in its upper part to fix the decoration on the Christmas tree.
Who wants ice cream?
Love ice cream? Why not decorate the Christmas tree with your favorite treat for the New Year, especially since this does not require a lot of materials. It is enough to find thick paper to imitate waffle cones and colored napkins or small pieces of compressed paper, a needle, a thin fishing line. Having formed a cone from thick paper, we make ice cream balls from colored paper, the number of which depends on your desire. Then we form a loop from the fishing line, for which our sweets will be hung on the Christmas tree and thread it through our balls, as is done in the photo.
Rooster on the Christmas tree
It will look good from paper or other materials. You can make a lot of these cockerels and collect pendants into a garland to decorate your home. If you are going to make a paper cockerel, take cardboard as a base, which you will glue on both sides.
- You will need multi-colored sheets of colored paper (you can use colored cardboard) and a sheet of cardboard. Draw the silhouette of a rooster on cardboard and cut it out.
- Using a cardboard blank as a template where necessary, draw the details on colored paper (cardboard): head, torso, wings and tail - pre-fold the sheets in half so as not to waste time preparing blanks for the second side.
- The next step: cut out our blanks.
- Now we glue the parts from colored paper (cardboard) onto the cardboard blank. After the cockerel has gathered into a whole picture, you can decorate it with sparkles, beads - whatever comes to mind.
- Make a hole in the workpiece, thread the ribbon and hang it on the Christmas tree.
You can make a similar toy out of felt and also use it to decorate the Christmas tree.
Draw a pattern by hand or use any ready-made one, for example, this one:
Homemade cockerels made using the origami technique will look original.
pillow toy
A difficult, but very exciting activity in making toys is the creation of a pillow in the form of a symbol of the year, which will delight you not only in the year of the Rooster, but much longer. You will need a pattern, fabric, filler, felt (depending on the model chosen), threads and needles. Here the matter is small, we circle the pattern, sew the details, leaving a hole to fill the pillow with filler. We turn it inside out, put the filler inside the toy, sew it up to the end.
There is also a more complex plan with fabric painting - this is batik, thanks to which the pillow will acquire a bright color. After you have circled the cockerel on the fabric, paint it with special paints, they can be replaced with gouache if you mix it with PVA glue. We leave for a day for the paint to dry, and continue to finish the pillow in the form of a rooster.
From salt dough
At the competition, children are often asked to bring some New Year's crafts to school. Make it from salt dough. Crafts made of bioceramics can also be a great gift from children to grandparents. Moreover, this occupation is so exciting that it fully claims the status of a hobby.
Before you make a toy out of salt dough, you need to prepare the dough itself. To prepare the dough, use fine table salt, ordinary wheat flour and water in a ratio of 2:4:2, respectively. First, flour and salt are mixed, and then warm water is added, thoroughly kneading the dough for at least 10 minutes.
There is another recipe for making dough. In this case, flour and salt are taken in the same proportions, only the flour is sifted beforehand. You need to take a little less than 1 1/3 cups of water. The cooking method will be different. According to this recipe, water must be brought to a boil and salt should be dissolved in it. Only then flour is added.
When the dough is ready, start making crafts. If you are doing crafts with your child, simplify the task by taking cookie cutters, for example, in the form of Christmas trees or bunnies - you will get wonderful Christmas decorations. Make a toy (you can use beads or beads for decoration), do not forget to make a hole at the top. To harden the toy, it is left for 24 hours or baked in the oven. After the toy has hardened, it is painted with acrylic paints, gouache, watercolor, allowed to dry well and covered with either colorless nail polish or nitro-lacquer on wood. A thread or ribbon is threaded through the hole. Here's the New Year's gift.

Soap figurines
Soap is always useful. A little unexpected, but soap can also be used to decorate the Christmas tree. Soap toys for the Christmas tree are made by hand. The process is simple. First, we rub the baby soap on a coarse grater, melt it in a hot bath (make sure that bubbles do not form), pour the liquid into a mold and leave it to harden.
- If you want to make a colored soap with a pleasant aroma, then add dyes to the base - it can be either food coloring or the juice of berries or vegetables, such as cherries, beets, carrots. The smell can be given with the help of perfumes or fragrances.
- If you use a ready-made transparent soap base instead of baby soap, then you can make soap with a “filler”. After you half fill the form with melted soap, let it brew for 20-30 minutes, put a slice of lemon or orange on top, coffee beans and fill the form to the end with soapy liquid.
- So that the soap also has a useful cosmetic effect, ground coffee is added to the base, which will work as a scrub, various oils, lemon zest, and ground oatmeal. Such a toy, which in combination will also be an excellent gift, will obviously not be left without attention.
big toys
Using threads, you can also create wonderful jewelry of a rather large size - giants. It is enough to inflate the balloon, wrap it with a thread dipped in PVA glue and leave it for 24 hours. After drying, the ball is burst, leaving an airy New Year's toy made of threads, which for decoration can be covered with silver or gold paint, decorated with beads, beads, sequins, ribbons. Pass the tape, and the accessory is ready. If you prepare two or three balls of different sizes, you can make a snowman.
Christmas trees are made from threads according to the same principle. As a base on which you will wind the thread, use a Whatman cone. You can make such a toy in miniature if you take a simple sheet of cardboard instead of whatman paper. Light beads, ribbon bows are useful for decoration.
