DIY New Year's fairy house

Here I decided to show you how easy it is to make a fabulous New Year or Christmas house out of paper. After all, the more fabulous objects that surround us, the stronger the feeling of the upcoming holidays will be. Because the older we get, the less we look forward to the holiday. And with such small but bright accessories your soul becomes warmer.

Materials for work:

• Colored paper;
• Glue;
• Simple pencil;
• Ruler;
• Compass.

1. First of all we make the walls. This is probably the easiest part. We take a sheet and draw a strip along the length along which we will make a cut. One should be larger than the other, since the height of the walls depends on this. About 15 cm and roll it into a tube, sealing the ends.

2. Now let's move on to the roof. We need half a circle. We won’t be able to make the circle itself, since the sheet of paper is smaller. Its diameter is approximately 23 - 24 cm. Therefore, we extend the compass to a width of 12 cm and draw a semicircle. We roll it into a cone and fix the edges.

3. Let's make more tiles. For colorfulness, it is better to take paper of different colors. I used blue (roof color) and pink. We cut out circles from them. Their size can be any. I have a radius of 2 cm.

How smaller size circles - the more you will need.

4. Glue them, alternating the color of the row. Since I sculpt them randomly, no one can name the number. I even have these blanks left, which will probably be useful for another craft.

5. To prevent the roof from moving, it is necessary to fix it. To do this, lubricate one edge of the wall with glue and put on the roof. Hold it for a while until it sets and the glue sets.

6. Then cut out a window and snowflakes from the circle. We also need a door. We adapt all this to the house and that’s it.

Our work is finished. Let's find him a place in the house.

Master class on easy crafts for a school competition

Now I’ll show you what you can quickly create for children for school for the New Year. After all, in anticipation of this have a wonderful holiday, teachers begin to ask their students various works on the creativity of all sorts of interesting products.

We will need:

• PVA glue;
• Toilet paper;
• Cotton wool;
• Acrylic paint;
• Foil;
• Toothpicks.

1. Make 2 balls from food foil, consider the diameter at your discretion. We wrap them on top with toilet paper.

2. In a separate bowl, dilute the glue with water, just a little. Using a brush, apply the resulting mixture onto our products.

4. Surely everyone has some kind of face or hand cream at home. We spread it on a regular small one a plastic cup, and on top of it is paper. Apply glue again.

5. We apply cotton wool to our headdress made of a cup and paper.

6. Blow dry again. And we begin to make the nose. Roll a piece of cotton wool into a tube and coat it with glue.

7. We also make buttons.

8. Using hot glue and toothpicks, we make hands with fingers.

9. Take a glue gun and connect all the parts in the form of a snowman. To insert the arms, you need to poke a hole with scissors and also glue it with a gun.

10. Black paint color the eyebrows, eyes, mouth, hat and hands with fingers. Red carrots, and buttons of your choice. The body and head itself are naturally white.

That's it, the craft is ready, if you're interested, let's move on to the next chapter.

Well, friends, since we already came up with the idea for school, why not come up with it for kindergarten. Agree, often when you go to kindergarten to pick up your child, in the locker room there are various crafts that parents make.

• Stationery knife.

1. On the tiles we mark the walls of Santa Claus’s home. We make the height and width 15 cm each. The roof, if you look from the middle of the drawn house, is raised by 7 cm.

2. Now we need to make windows. In the middle of the wall 6 x 6 cm.

3. Now we begin to draw the side. Width 20 cm, height 15 cm. Draw the windows.

To make the house look aesthetically pleasing, try to draw the window at the same height as the first one.

4. We make the door by retreating 1 cm from the bottom and 2.5 cm from the side. Its height and width can be taken arbitrarily. I got it 6 x 12 cm. We draw only on three sides.

5. We cut out our blanks with simple scissors.

6. Stationery knife cut out windows and doors (on three sides).

7. Let's take it plastic decor and cut to the size of our cut niches with wire cutters. We glue them, making the finishing.

9. Glue all sides of the home using a heat gun.

11. For beauty, to hide all the cracks in the seams, we cover it with regular tinsel.

12. All that remains is to make the bottom and yard of our house. In the house, the floor can be decorated with paper printed on a printer in the form of a carpet. We make chairs and a table from the leftover material. We put them inside the house and glue them.

13. The yard can also be decorated with tinsel. Also, if desired, we can print out Santa Claus from the Internet and glue it together.

14. And at the end of our house we glue a Christmas tree and Santa Claus in the yard.

New Year's crafts from felt with patterns

With such soft material very nice to work. And it makes simply beautiful souvenirs. But before starting the craft itself, let's first look at several patterns, then a video will be shown on how to make one of them.

Since this is the year of the pig, let's start with the symbol of the year.

Father Frost:

Well, let’s see how to make a Snow Maiden detailed video, where the author will tell and show everything in detail. And all we have to do is get the materials and make such a wonderful granddaughter of Santa Claus.

Thus, from watching you will learn how to quickly and easily make a souvenir (craft) using patterns for a holiday, be it New Year, Christmas or another celebration. By the way, there are many on the Internet detailed toys made of felt, if you wish, you can look. In general, there is nothing complicated, cut, sew and decorate the Christmas tree!

How to make a Christmas tree with your own hands?

But what is a holiday without a Christmas tree, you ask? So it was decided to make and decorate it for everyone’s fun. An interesting and fun idea that will not leave you indifferent, isn’t it?

We will need:

• Chenille wire;
• Half a wooden skewer.

1. First you need to cut the wire. That is, 4 sticks 15cm, 4 x 13cm, 6 pcs. 11 cm each, 8 x 7.5, 8 x 6.5, 44 x 4, 2 x 30 cm.

2. On a skewer (barrel), slightly larger than the palm of your hand, we begin to wind the longest wire, that is, which is 30 cm long.

3. We retreat 3 cm from below and begin to wrap the 15 cm tinsel around the trunk.

5. We also do the second row along the trunk, only we retreat from the first by about 1 - 1.5 cm. We already take the strips, which are 13 cm each. We do it in the same way as the first row. Thus this row is also ready.

6. The third row requires 11 cm sticks, 3 pieces each.

There is a slight difference in the third row. We screw one wire at a time onto the tree branch from the edge.

7. For the fourth row, we take tinsel, which is 7.5 cm long, and begin to screw it onto the trunk. There is no need to twist anything onto the branches anymore. The last row twist 6.5 cm.

In this interesting way we collect the Christmas tree until the very end.

We have such a beauty. At first glance, this seems complicated and confusing. But in fact, it is not just easy, but also interesting. I always involve children in creativity. They immediately have so much energy! And now I say goodbye to you, until we meet again!

With the onset of winter cold, the need to see something beautiful, especially something built with your own hands, becomes much more acute. Have you noticed that kindergartens and schools are immediately starting to hold all possible exhibitions of crafts? For which children, together with their parents, sometimes create simply incredible things.

And if you also decorate the decoration of your house, apartment, yard or office. Because, in my opinion, the use of New Year's paraphernalia in the interior greatly enhances the anticipation of the holiday itself and some kind of magical miracle. And who, if not we ourselves, will create this magical mood for ourselves.

So read the article below, take note of the examples you like and be sure to involve your children, this will significantly raise your New Year’s mood. And it will make the holiday atmosphere incredibly wonderful, with elements of magic and anticipation of a miracle.

When I first saw these cute toys, I couldn’t believe that they were made from a sock. And of course, I was itching to make them together with my children; it turns out it’s very simple. To celebrate, we made a lot of snowmen and decorated almost the entire house with them.

What you will need to prepare them:

• Two socks (white and colored) - 4 pieces;
• Buttons – 10 pieces;
• Black marker – 1 piece;
• Rubber bands - 10 pieces;
• Glue gun – 1 piece;
• Filler (any cereal) – 300 grams.

What we do:

We cut each sock into three pieces, thus getting rid of the heel. We tie the edge where the elastic was with an elastic band.

We fill each part with any prepared cereal.

After this, divide them into two or three balls. Whatever you prefer.

Now we make clothes from a colored sock. Cut off half and put it on the craft. Sew buttons along the top, use different ones, it will look more interesting. Use a glue gun to decorate the craft to your liking.

All that remains is to sew on the eyes and nose and the snowman is ready.

I construct the hands from toothpicks, after dividing them in half.

This is how beautiful it turned out with minimal effort.

You should start gluing the blanks from the very bottom edge in a circle. Then comes second layer and applying drops of glue gradually move to the top of the structure.

Then we make a leg, to do this, fasten two bases of plastic glasses together and attach it to the pasta tree.

You can paint each pasta separately with a brush, but I like to use spray paint. Fast and convenient.

Then, after the paint coating has dried, we decorate our beauty to our taste.

It's just magic, that's all. The souvenir turns out to be so unbelievably beautiful that you can’t believe how easy it is to make.

Glue the prepared decor onto the lid.

Be sure to make sure it will not dissolve in water.

Cut plastic snow into a jar. I made it from plastic from candy.

Pour glycerin into the container and then water. For a tighter closure, I cut off part medical gloves and put it on the jar.

If desired, you can add a little glitter.

Coat the lid with glue and screw tightly. Decorate it beautiful ribbon and “voila” – the craft is ready!!!

DIY Christmas tree star

The classic color for making a star on top of a Christmas tree is, of course, red. But today it is very fashionable to dress up green beauty into the decoration of one color, so you can easily build yourself a star of absolutely any color.

No one would have said that such beauty could be created from an ordinary plastic bottle. But it is possible. Be sure to involve your children and grandchildren in joint creativity.

And it turns out to be quite economical for your wallet.

You can decorate trees in your yard with these snowflakes or give them as souvenirs to friends and neighbors. Their main advantage is strength and wear resistance; they are not afraid of rain and snow, and any frost.

Funny octopus made of plasticine

Great option for joint creativity with baby junior classes or age kindergarten. Children who grow up with plenty of attention and communication with their parents become more independent, decisive and achieve more in life. So don't miss out precious time and dedicate it to your children.

What you will need:

• Plasticine of different colors - 1 package;
• Stick – 1 piece;
• Plastic knife – 1 piece.

Let's get started:

First, let's roll two balls of the same color, but different sizes. This will be the torso with legs and head.

From the small one we form a small droplet, and squeeze the second one into a layer.

Using a plastic knife, cut into strips.

It turns out something like a flower; we make long tubes from each petal.

The result should be a star like this.

We form small balls from a brighter color and attach them to the legs.

Make a tube of balls into something like suction cups.

Now we bend the legs with suction cups in any shape.

We make the head like this: cover the plastic case of a chocolate egg completely with plasticine and attach eyes. We attach the head to the body.

Pour liquid into a glass container and place the octopus in it, screw on the lid. Turn the jar over and decorate the top with seaweed and colorful fish.

Snowman made from disposable cups

Every year millions of people try to decorate their home New Year's symbols. Some people buy them, while others make them themselves. Recently there has been a fashion for making crafts from plastic dishes, that’s why I decided to tell you about making a snowman from glasses. It’s simple and quick, the main thing is to select the necessary materials in advance.

Required tools:

• Plastic dishes – 300 pieces;
• Stapler – 1 piece;
• Decoration is at your discretion.

Let's start making a snowman:

For the first row you will need exactly twenty-five cups; we place them on the floor in smooth circle and fasten with a stapler.

The second row will no longer be shifted much, like the colors on a chessboard.

Fasten each glass in several places, so the structure will be more stable and durable to the touch.

Move each row slightly deeper to obtain a spherical shape. We don’t finish it, seven rows are enough.

We form the head from eighteen pieces in each row and close it completely.

Cut out eyes from paper and sharp nose, decorate the head.

We connect both parts and fasten them as tightly as possible with a stapler.

We add decorative elements at our discretion. At home we put a light bulb inside and it looks simply fabulous.

Original Christmas tree made of threads

I make this beauty every year for the kitchen and other rooms where there will be no standing living beauty. It also looks great in offices, or you can give it to friends.

What you will need:

• Thread – 1 package;
• Glue – 1 tube;
• Decor - at your discretion;
• Scotch tape – 1 piece;
• Scissors – 1 piece;
• Brush – 1 piece.

Let's start cooking:

First, draw a circle out of paper and assemble a cone from it. It’s better to cover it with tape so the threads won’t stick. Then we begin to wind the thread onto the cone. The tighter you wind it, the less fluffy the tree will be.

Apply a thick layer of glue to the threads after you have wound the entire thread. And set aside to dry completely. After the product has dried, all that remains is to remove the workpiece from the cone and decorate it with decorative elements.

Christmas tree toy “Gentle angel”

The simplest decoration that even a child can make.

What you will need:

• Tape with a hard edge - 55 centimeters;
• Bead – 1 piece;
• Glue gun – 1 piece;
• Stapler – 1 piece.

What we do:

We cut the ribbon 30 centimeters long and make an indent of two centimeters, folding it like an accordion bellows. We cut off one hard side and secure it with a stapler. From the rest of the tape we make the same accordion, only we fasten it in the middle.

We fasten both pieces together, attach a bead with thread on top and carefully straighten the edges. A wonderful craft is ready.
