Lampshades for a garland: from an egg container, packaging material

If you made scrambled eggs for breakfast and find that the cardboard container is empty, under no circumstances throw it away, but use it for business. With the owner's approach, a cardboard container for eggs will turn out to be original lanterns for an LED garland in the form of bells. Let's assume that you have already acquired the garland itself, then just follow the instructions.

You can do something else in this spirit: translucent stars, for example, which can easily and simply turn your Chinese garland into something completely extraordinary.

	You will need a piece of cardboard.
	Cut a star out of it.
	Place the star on the packaging foam and, using the star as a template, apply glue along the outline. Leave a small gap.
	Prepare some kind of filler, such as sequins.
	Sprinkle in the center. Place another piece of packaging material on top, pressing it in the places where the glue is applied.
	Cut it out.
	Place the “case” on the light bulbs of the electric LED garland.

Christmas tree decorations: simple and original

Have you already decorated your Christmas tree? Even if you haven't yet, make your Christmas tree decorations in advance. The sooner you start, the more pleasure you will get from the process, because you will do everything slowly, with feeling and sense. You probably won’t have to buy anything here either. Cardboard and knitting threads will most likely be found if you bought something from technology and tried to knit. You can collect branches on the street. Housewives always have pasta on hand in case they need to cook something quickly. Oranges before the New Year are also not uncommon on the table. And in an apartment where there are children, plasticine is literally lying under your feet.

Toy feeder

A miniature cardboard feeder with real grains, decorated with twigs, will become not a simple Christmas tree toy, but a hand-made creation in eco style.

	Draw a rectangle with sides 5x7 cm and another one with sides 4.5x5.5 cm on a piece of cardboard. Cut them out.
	Fold the longer rectangle in half.
	Armed with a needle and thread, make a loop of thread.
	To fix the “roof” at a right angle, run hot glue along the fold and bend it as necessary.
	Cut 4 equal-sized pieces of a dry straight branch and glue them in the form of posts at the corners of the cardboard base.
	Lubricate the bottom of the feeder with glue.
	Sprinkle grains on top of the glue before it hardens. The easiest way is to peel a few sunflower seeds.
	Cover the “roof” with dry twigs.
	Cover the side edges of the roof and bottom of the feeder with twigs as well.
	Place a drop of glue on the posts and attach the roof.
	Cover the roof with glue and sprinkle with salt, thereby creating the effect of snow.
	A wonderful decoration is ready.

thread bird

A bird made of threads with a shock of “feathers” on its head may be simple in appearance, but not all decorations need to be fancy. But you will spend a minimum of time on production.

	We wind white knitting threads onto some cardboard template.
	Tie the threads rolled into a skein in the middle in two places.
	On one side, cut the threads with scissors and trim.
	Make the eyes from rhinestones and the nose from paper studs.
	Hang it on the Christmas tree and enjoy the result.

Edible toys

If you stand for originality and simplicity at the same time, then make Christmas tree decorations from pasta bows and dried orange slices: simple - yes, original - without a doubt.

	Now let's make edible decorations for the Christmas tree. Paint bow pasta with golden paint.
	Cut the orange into slices. Place on a baking sheet, dry in an open oven at 115 degrees.
	Make a hole with a needle.
	Thread the string and hang the ornament on the tree.
	Secure the bows with hot glue.
	Edible decor is made.

Plasticine stars

The best way to implement this idea is to use plasticine, which hardens in air, or rather modeling dough, Play-Doh is suitable. But if there is no such plasticine, but there is ordinary one, make it out of it, just keep in mind that toys can be deformed if handled carelessly.

	You will need several pieces of multi-colored plasticine. Take one or two with glitter. Also prepare cookie cutters for New Year's themes (stars, Christmas trees, bunnies, angels).
	Roll each piece into sausages.
	Place the sausages together and twist, then fold in half and twist again. Repeat until the colors are evenly distributed.
	Roll into a ball.
	Roll it out with a rolling pin, like dough, into a flat cake approximately 5 mm thick.
	Use a cookie cutter to cut out the shapes.
	Carefully remove excess plasticine. If you used drying plasticine, leave it to dry for a couple of hours.
	These stars can be used to make a garland, pendant or toy for the Christmas tree.

Christmas trees: hanging, made of threads

If you decorate your home as an independent building, then a hanging Christmas tree made from cardboard rings would be most appropriate. It looks extraordinary and will definitely surprise your guests.

	On a large piece of corrugated cardboard, draw circles, the smaller one inside the larger one. Cut along the marked circles.
	Paint the cardboard with green paint.
	Glue green paper tape to the joint.
	Tie eight long pieces of fishing line together. Make a loop at the end. Calculate the length, taking into account that we will hang the tree from the ceiling.
	Screw an anchor with a hook into a horizontal surface.
	Punch several holes in the cardboard in a circle.
	Thread the line through the holes.
	Use hot glue to secure it, dripping glue onto the holes to keep the rings in place.
	We hang the tree and fix the last ring with glue.
	We decorate the craft with toys.
	We place a luminous garland on top of the rings.

A Christmas tree made of threads will look simpler, but more appropriate in an apartment. You can put it on your desktop or bedside table. The technology is reminiscent of the process of making decorative balls from threads, which many are familiar with, but the base here is not an inflatable ball, but a foam cone.

	To make a Christmas tree from threads, you will need a foam mold, cling film, a lot of small nails, PVA glue, a plate, decorations for the Christmas tree: beads, bows (whatever your imagination tells you).
	Pour PVA glue into a plate and place the knitting thread there.
	Moisten the thread thickly with glue, you can even crush it with your hand.
	In a chaotic manner, clinging to the nails, wind the thread.
	Remove the thread cone from the foam piece when it is thoroughly dry.
	You can use soft balls with lurex for decoration,
	bells,
	beads.
	We decorated the Christmas tree with beads, placing them on glue.

Light bulb lamp

It is not easy to make a creative lamp from an ordinary Soviet-style light bulb. Not all women know how to work with electrical appliances, wires and a soldering iron, although there are exceptions. Rather, entrust this work to dear men: husband, brother. Those who like to make things will find it interesting.

	We need a light bulb.
	Use a file to saw off the base not all the way.
	Using a screwdriver, carefully break out the insides.
	Use pliers to remove excess from the base.
	Place 12 colored LEDs inside.
	You can pre-lubricate the tip of the LEDs with superglue so that they do not dangle inside.
	Connect the power source and check if the LEDs are lit.
	Poke a hole in the center of the base.
	Take the USB connector. Cut the white and green wires.
	You need to secure the connector in the hole in the base using hot glue.
	Solder the contacts.
	Coat the edges of the base with hot glue and connect the previously cut parts of the base, returning the light bulb to its usual appearance.
	You can plug the light bulb into a socket through an adapter or connect it to a laptop.

Handmade candlesticks

Some people associate the New Year with tangerines or the smell of pine needles, while others associate it with the muted light of candles. And where there are candles, there should be candlesticks. Homemade candlesticks are often made from wide and low glass glasses, round vases, but there are also absolutely original options, for example, made from lace napkins. The glass is decorated with branches, tinsel, painted with acrylic paints, and decorated with beads and rhinestones. Here you will find two similar master classes.

"Warm" candlestick

Create a sock candle holder with an inspiring pattern (the Norwegian pattern is one such New Year's design). Making it couldn't be easier.

	You will need one sock, a glass cup and a candle.
	Place the glass inside the sock.
	Trim the sock at the seam allowance.
	You can leave it like that or sew up the hole.
	A glass with a warm Norwegian pattern is ready.

Candlestick with an “icicle” pattern

And this idea will appeal to those who would like to decorate a candlestick with some kind of pattern, but do not know how to draw. Use a simple stencil to apply the paint in a zigzag pattern. In the same way, you can make candlesticks with other designs. If you use templates for vytnanok, it is possible to make candlesticks with snowflakes, deer, bunnies, angels and other characters and ornaments.

	You will need artificial snow in a bag and in the form of a spray, a candle, a glass goblet.
	Draw a design on a piece of paper. Ours are teeth.
	Let's cut it out.
	Secure it to the glass with adhesive tape.
	Let's spray artificial snow.
	Peel off the stencil and put it away. Pour artificial snow from a bag inside.
	Place a candle inside.

Lace decor

It is known that fabric soaked in PVA glue becomes rigid after drying and retains its given shape. This property is widely used in the manufacture of decorative items from threads; we also use it to create a candlestick from a lace napkin.

	To make a vase you will need lace napkins.
	Take a vase of suitable diameter and cover with cling film.
	Pour PVA glue into a bowl and dilute it with a little water. Dip a napkin into the glue and wet it thoroughly.
	Place the napkin on top of the inverted plate, straightening the edges.
	Remove the napkin from the plate once dry.
	The vase can serve as a candlestick.

We decorate in European style: sock, wreath

If you've been eyeing the idea of ​​European Christmas decor, particularly a Christmas stocking and wreath, now is the time to bring it to life.

To make a Christmas stocking you will need a template (you can draw it by hand), glue or a needle and thread, a piece of faux fur or cotton wool. If you want to make a knitted sock, you need a machine-knitted material. Buying it in a store is an unaffordable luxury. We recommend taking an old sweater and using it.

	Let's prepare everything you need.
	Cut out two pieces.
	Place the two pieces right sides together and glue or sew them together.
	Cut a strip from the fabric scraps.
	Make a loop.
	Use faux fur to trim it.
	Sew on a loop.

If your goal is not only to make beautiful decor, but also to show originality, try making a wreath from unusual materials. Surprisingly, even clothespins are suitable for this role.

	Tools and materials: a ring made of cardboard, a lot of clothespins, bows purchased or made from ribbon, green acrylic paints of different shades, a brush, a heat gun, decorations.
	Paint the clothespins with green paint. This can be done with a brush or sponge.
	Or you can spray paint from a can.
	We paint the cardboard ring green.
	Using hot glue, glue the clothespins in a circle.
	Now let's decorate.
	A special decor for such a wreath is postcards, clothespins act as holders.

Not only doors, walls and tables are decorated with wreaths. A little unusual, but very attractive, the wreath will look like a decoration for a chandelier.

Garlands: from balloons, paper and others

The most democratic option for New Year's decor is garlands. If they are made of paper, then their cost is generally cheap. And you can decorate the Christmas tree, the walls, and the ceiling with them. If you have a lot of Christmas tree decorations lying around as “dead weight”, they will also make an excellent garland.

We have undecorated windows, let's fill this gap. Let's make a garland for the New Year's window from colored paper.

	List of what you need: scissors, glue, pencil, ruler, decorative cord or knitting threads, rhinestones, sequins or something similar.
	Line a sheet of A4 paper. We select the size of the strips as desired; the size of the star will depend on this.
	In our case, one A4 sheet yielded 30 strips: 15 on top and 15 on the bottom.
	Roll the strips into a sharp cone like this.
	Glue so that the edges do not unravel.
	Trim the corners (those areas that do not overlap).
	Glue a star from seven petals.
	Spread two blanks with glue and, placing a lace inside, glue them together.
	Moreover, glue them together so that the petals are not one above the other, but in between.
	Glue a rhinestone or sequin into the center of each star.
	Decorate the window.

Pillows with Christmas trees and mittens

Decorating home textiles is a separate area. Buy new pillowcases in New Year's colors - bright red and rich green - and decorate them. You can also take used pillowcases, there’s nothing wrong with that. On the contrary, they will turn from old to new. It is better to decorate with pillowcases for decorative pillows, since sleeping on a convex decor is uncomfortable.

	Let's sew a pillow like this with cute Christmas trees.
	We will need patchwork fabric, a piece of brown cotton fabric, a pillowcase, glue or thread and a needle.
	Take a rectangle of colored cotton and fold its corners to form a triangle: first the left and right corners.
	Then the bottom corner. You can glue or sew everything by hand or by machine.
	Make other Christmas trees in the same way.
	We prepared four Christmas trees: two larger and two smaller. Let's lay them out on the pillowcase. Cut out tree trunks from a piece of brown fabric.
	We will glue or sew the “trunks”, then we will glue or sew the Christmas trees on top.

Remember the Christmas stocking we suggested making a little earlier? If you made it, you may have some scraps left over that will be used to make mittens for a pillowcase.

	Do you think it’s difficult to make such a pillowcase with mittens? Lighter than easy.
	You will need a pillowcase, a piece of knitted material, knitted cord, glue or a needle and thread, and a piece of faux fur for the edge.
	Print and cut out the template or draw a stencil by hand; you can use real mittens for this.
	Attach the template to the material and cut out the mittens, do not forget that you should get symmetrical mittens, and not two left or two right. To avoid mistakes, you can fold the fabric in half, right side down, and cut the two pieces together.
	We fix the finished parts on the pillowcase.
	Glue or sew on the edge.
	We secure the cord with glue or with separate stitches, laying it out loosely, making several loops for decoration.

We make a variety of decorative items

Let's make some other items. Don’t expect much benefit from them, but the New Year’s mood will come in abundance.

Golden nuts and cones

Long ago, back in tsarist times, the Christmas tree was decorated with gilded nuts, then they became glass, so why not now make New Year's decor with their participation? We'll pair acorns and cones with the nuts; they complement each other wonderfully.

Santa hat

Recently, foam blanks of various shapes have become available. Let's take a foam cone and turn it into a Santa Claus hat, decorating it with a recognizable black strap made of satin ribbon with a plaque.

	From the same cone-shaped blank you can make a decorative Santa Claus hat.
	Cover the bottom edge of the cone with masking tape so as not to stain it with red paint, which we will now use to cover the entire cone.
	Apply the paint with a wide brush (it’s faster this way).
	Sprinkle red glitter on top, although you can choose any color.
	Peel off the masking tape.
	Paint the border with white paint.
	Sprinkle white glitter over wet paint.
	We make a plaque out of foil, smear it with glue and sprinkle it with glitter. We pass a black satin ribbon through the plaque.
	We fix it on the cone with glue.
	Glue a white pompom to the tip of the cap.

Huge balls

It happens that a kindergarten is asked to make some kind of voluminous large decor. The idea we posted below is about just such a decoration. In order to actually make giant balls in the form of Christmas tree decorations, you need to buy special inflatable balls. They turn out round.

	Prepare: stapler, decorative wire, scissors, heat gun, round inflatable balls, foil paper, scotch.
	Inflate the balloons.
	Cut a strip 10-15 cm wide from foil paper.
	Glue it into a tube with dark glue.
	Glue it to the tail of the ball.
	Make an imitation of thread from wire. The ball is ready for a huge Christmas tree.

Figurine made of pine cones

Now we’ll make a New Year’s figurine from a pine cone and a piece of tree bark.

	Drop a little PVA glue onto a piece of paper.
	Place glitter nearby. Dip the cone either in glue or in glitter.
	Decorate the cone completely.
	Apply hot glue to a piece of bark.
	Glue a small pine branch.
	Also fix the cone on the bark with hot glue.
	Disguise the gluing area with a bunch of needles and a bow made of narrow ribbon.
	To make the figurine look even better, decorate it with beads.

Edible decorations. When it's beautiful and tasty at the same time

It's great when New Year's decor pleases not only the eye, but also the stomach. A frame filled with candies in bright wrappers will brighten up your New Year's Eve. The main thing, while thoughtfully admiring the creation you created yourself, is not to destroy all the candies.

	To make a “sweet” frame, prepare a shadowbox frame, scrap paper, glue, glue-based letters, candies with bright candy wrappers, and red acrylic paint.
	Paint the frame.
	According to the dimensions of the back cover of the frame, draw a square (rectangle) on the back of the scrap paper.
	Coat the inside of the lid with PVA glue.
	Glue the scrap paper.
	Stick the word “Falala!” on the glass. (or other).
	Pour the candy inside and close the lid.
	Place it in a visible place, such as a table in the living room, and make sure that the candies are not stolen before the New Year.

It’s easy to make an impromptu snowman from jars filled with various goodies. Put what you love in there: chewing marmalade, caramels, marshmallows, cookies. Place it on your desktop and in moments when you feel especially sad, raise the level of the happiness hormone.

	First of all, you need three jars with lids of a similar design or round ones.
	Apply hot glue to the lid.
	Glue another jar on top. Fill them with sweets: candies, marshmallows, cocoa and others.
	Tie a ribbon to the lid of the second jar and trim the edges.
	Make eyes and a nose from buttons and attach them with glue.
	Place the lid on a piece of black felt and cut out a circle.
	Then roll a small strip of black felt into a tube and glue it together.
	Glue the felt tube to the circle, and the circle to the lid - this is the snowman's hat.

We hope that you enjoyed all the master classes, that you did not waste your time and chose several ideas for your own creativity.

Many people notice that the older they get, the more difficult it is to re-experience that magical feeling of a fairy tale and miracle that always came to us as children on New Year's Eve.

But we're in website We are sure that the New Year's mood will not keep you waiting if you make one of these wonderful decorations for your home and Christmas tree with your own hands. Almost all of them, with the exception of two or three, do not require much time and any special materials - they can be made in half an hour from what is at hand.

Stars made of threads

Wreath made of balloons and an old hanger

In just half an hour, you can make a colorful wreath by purchasing a couple of sets of inexpensive balloons. Blogger Jennifer, the author of this article, recommends straightening out an old hanger, but if you don't have one, a piece of strong wire will do just fine.

• You will need: a couple of sets of balls (20-25 balls of different colors and sizes), a wire hanger or wire, fir branches, braid or a ready-made decoration for decorating a wreath.

Tablecloth made of snowflakes

A delicate and surprisingly festive tablecloth will be made from snowflakes, which we have gotten our hands on since childhood. You can sit down and cut out snowflakes with the whole family, and then lay them out on the table and fasten them with small pieces of tape. A wonderful solution for entertaining guests or just having lunch with the family during the holidays.

Multi-colored hats

The cutest colored hats can be made from leftover yarn, which can be used to make a garland for a Christmas tree or to decorate a wall. Or hang them on a window or chandelier at different levels. Children over five years old will also be great at making this simple decoration. See details.

• You will need: a roll of toilet paper for rings (or regular cardboard or thick paper), scissors, colorful yarn and a good mood.

Lamp “Snowy City”

For this charming lamp, you need to measure a piece of paper around the circumference of the jar with a small margin (for gluing), draw and cut out a simple city or forest landscape. Wrap it around the jar and place a candle inside.

• You will need: a jar, thick paper of any color, maybe white, any candle. Another option is to cover the top of the jar with “falling snow” using a special “snow” spray, which is sold in hobby stores.

Balloons with photos

A great idea for decorating a Christmas tree or as a gift for relatives and friends. The photo needs to be rolled into a tube so that it fits into the hole of the ball, and then straightened out with a wooden stick or tweezers. Small black and white rectangular photographs are suitable, and you can also cut out the photo according to the shape of a ball or a silhouette (as in the case of a cat in the snow).

• You will need: plastic or glass balls, photographs, various things to fill the ball - tinsel, garlands, coarse salt (for snow).

New Year's lamps

And this miracle is a matter of five minutes. It is enough to collect balls, fir branches, cones and put them in a transparent vase (or a cute jar) and add glowing garlands.

Embers

Glowing garlands, hidden among cones, branches and pine paws, create the effect of smoldering coals in the fireplace or a cozy fire. They even seem to be heating up. For this purpose, a basket that has been lying on the balcony for a hundred years, a nice bucket or, for example, a wicker container for small items from Ikea will be suitable. You will find everything else (except for the garland, of course) in the park.

Floating candles

A very simple decoration for the New Year's table or for a cozy evening with friends during the New Year holidays - a composition with candles floating in a vessel with water, cranberries and pine branches. You can use cones, orange slices, fresh flowers and leaves from a flower shop - whatever your imagination tells you. And as a candlestick - deep plates, vases, jars, glasses, the main thing is that they are transparent.

Snowman on the refrigerator or door

Children will definitely be delighted with this - it’s fast, fun and very simple, because even a three-year-old can handle cutting out large parts. It is enough to cut out circles, a nose and a scarf from self-adhesive paper, wrapping paper or colored cardboard and attach them to regular or double-sided tape.

Snowflakes on the window

Interesting use for a glue gun lying around. In order to glue these snowflakes to the glass, just lightly press them to the surface. For details see our video.

• You will need: a stencil with a snowflake drawn with a black marker, tracing paper (parchment, baking paper), a glue gun and a little patience.

Christmas trees-candies

You can build bright Christmas trees with your kids for a children's party or decorate a festive table with them. Cut out triangles from colored paper or cardboard, attach with tape to a toothpick and stick the resulting Christmas trees into the candies.

• You will need: Hershey's Kisses or any other truffle candies, toothpicks, tape, colored paper or cardboard with a design.

Garland with photographs and drawings

New Year, Christmas - warm, family holidays. And it will come in very handy with photographs, children's drawings, and pictures. The easiest way to secure them is with clothespins, which can be decorated with hearts or snowflakes.

Origami star

Painted spoons

Ordinary metal spoons or wooden cooking spoons are transformed into interesting New Year's decorations using acrylic paints. Kids will definitely love this idea. If you bend the handle of metal spoons, you can hang them on the Christmas tree. And wooden spoons will look great in the kitchen or in a bouquet with fir branches.

Snowman made from a sock

From unnecessary white socks you can make these funny snowmen. Cut off the toe of the sock and tie it with thread on the other side. Pour the rice into a round shape, tie it again with a thread and add more rice to form a smaller ball. Sew on the eyes and nose, make a scarf from a scrap, sew on buttons. And the cut off part will make an excellent hat.
