Every day in the workshop Christmas Art experienced artist-designers will introduce adults and children to one of the most interesting and truly fabulous technologies - the production of glass Christmas tree toys.
Visitors will be shown classical and modern painting techniques, and during master classes they will be invited to decorate the toy themselves in any style they like. Under the guidance of masters it will be possible to create amazing decorations in the style of Khokhloma, Gzhel, Mezen painting and other folk crafts of Russia in accordance with the canons of the old masters.
Guests of the workshop will also be able to arrange New Year's toys in modern visual techniques(doodling, embossing, dot painting, etc.) using neon paints, 3D patterns, metal plates, glitter and other materials.
Do you like to do handicrafts? Then you will love making Christmas tree decorations with your own hands! This is a pleasant and exciting activity for the whole family, which will not leave anyone indifferent - you will spend several evenings with pleasure making Christmas tree decorations with your own hands.
For production you will need:
The template needs to be attached with pins (or ordinary toothpicks) to the porous material, and the design you need should be laid out on top - first the outline is laid out, then the interior decor. You should not cross the threads too often; the toy should be fairly flat. Once you are finished, dry the item and remove it from the pins and tie a loop in the eye. If desired, you can decorate with sparkles or rain.
To make toys you will need:
The ends of the thick wire need to be twisted. You need to string beads and seed beads mixed together on a thin wire, tie the end of the thin wire to the future Christmas tree decoration, and wrap it randomly.
When the toy is evenly wrapped, you need to wrap the free tail of the wire around the toy and tie a ribbon in the shape of a bow - your toy is ready.
Another original idea:
You will need:
Interior decor made in this way looks very attractive.
So, you will need:
Use a loose tail of twine to wrap the tree in different directions. After some kind of thread pattern appears on the tree, you can start gluing it with a napkin. You can tear the napkin into pieces, coat the tree well with glue, and seal it tightly with the napkin. This will give a nice texture to the future toy.
After the toy has dried, you can start painting - paint the Christmas tree green.
After the paint layer has dried, shade the texture of the toy using a dry, hard brush and white paint, and then decorate it to your taste.
Prepare several paper patterns - for example, deer, stars, gingerbread men, bears, letters and hearts. Cut out fabric blanks with your own hands, sew them in pairs, leaving a small gap (for stuffing), and through this small hole, tightly stuff the toys with cotton wool or padding polyester. It is most convenient to fill with a pencil.
Patterns can be downloaded here:
By the way, don’t forget - we sew on a machine from the inside, but if you decide to make toys from thick fabric with your kids, then it is better to sew them with a decorative seam over the edge - a toy with your own hands will look simply charming and will be suitable for either a home Christmas tree or a kindergarten - Usually, for kindergarten Christmas trees, children make decorations themselves.
The star template can be downloaded here:
Place the thread as tightly as possible so that there are no gaps. To decorate the star, make a couple of leaves and berries from fabric and decorate one of the rays. Your decoration is ready.
To make Christmas tree decorations in the form of hats, you will need:
The threads need to be cut into pieces of approximately 20-22 centimeters. We fold each piece in half, pass the loop through the cardboard ring, and pull the free edges of the threads through the loop. It is necessary that the thread is firmly fixed to the cardboard base. This needs to be repeated until the cardboard base is hidden under the threads.
All the thread tails need to be pulled through the ring so that our hat has a “lapel”.
Now we pull the loose tails tightly with thread and cut them into a pom-pom shape - the hat is ready! All that remains is to make a loop and decorate your Christmas tree toy with sequins and sparkles.
Make a loop on the wire and string green beads mixed with large beads on it - they will play the role of New Year's balls on our Christmas tree. Once the wire is filled, give it a herringbone shape by folding it in a spiral.
Once your tree has taken shape, bend the free edge into a loop.
We cut off a piece of ribbon, form a loop from it for hanging and pull it through the Christmas tree, and decorate the free tail with a coin (the easiest way is to glue it with double-sided tape). We tie a decorative bow on the hanging loop - your decor is ready!
Required:
DIY thread Christmas balls will turn out to be very, very impressive if you make them in different tones - for example, red, silver and gold. Try to make New Year's balls with your own hands using different techniques - you can sew or knit balls, make them from cotton wool with your own hands, or, for example, sew them from felt - you can never have too many of these toys.
A DIY paper Christmas toy is made like this:
There is no additional need to decorate such a toy; it is already expressive.
Another ball option:
Or you can make a ball like this according to the master class:
Make identical decorative elements - for example, sprigs of holly (by the way, did you know that this is a symbol of joy and Christmas reconciliation?). The berries need to be glued to the leaf using glue, and then a decorative knot should be made - this will give the berries volume.
We sew each piece together in pairs. By the way, it is best to sew it with contrasting threads; it will be fun and elegant. How to make New Year's decorations voluminous? Stuff them with holofiber before sewing them up completely! Straighten the product well, so the Christmas tree toy will be filled more evenly. You can use the back of the pencil for stuffing.
Sew on the decorative elements and your New Year's toy is ready!
Try to sew felt decorations not only for the New Year tree, but also for your home - for example, a Christmas wreath decorated with felt toys looks very stylish. Look at the selection of DIY New Year's decorations, photos of master classes - and you will understand how many interesting things can be made from ordinary felt of two or three colors.

Below you can download templates and patterns of different Christmas trees for felt crafts.

New Year's fairy tale in your home! Decorating a Christmas tree for Christmas and New Year is a kind of ritual that symbolizes the miracle of renewal, rebirth, it is a ritual that returns us all to the mysterious New Year holiday of our childhood. In Russia, this custom became generally accepted at the beginning of the 19th century. Gradually, gingerbread cookies, sweets, nuts and gifts began to replace elegant toys, primarily glass ones.

About the museum of Christmas decorations “Klinskoye Compound”:
The exhibition complex consists of 12 halls that will tell you about the origin and development of the glass industry on Klin land. You will find yourself in a new world with a rich history of Christmas tree decorations and watch the difficult work of glassblowers and talented artists.
In the first hall of our complex you will be greeted by a Christmas tree decorated with sugar roses and apples. The tradition of decorating the Christmas tree goes back centuries. In the 19th century, the festive tree was decorated with all kinds of sweets, nuts, apples, and funny figures made of paper, cardboard, fabric and foil. And in 1848, the first glass Christmas tree balls were made in the town of Lauscha in Germany. The inside was covered with a layer of lead, and the outside was decorated with sparkles.
The Christmas tree outfit changed depending on fashion. In Rus', they always tried to dress up the forest beauty like a king. The whole family made Christmas tree decorations. And those who had the means, bought multi-colored glass balls from artisan glassblowers.
In the second hall you find yourself in a peasant hut from the end of the 19th century. You will see the workplace of a master glassblower, leather bellows that kept the fire burning in the burner, and metal molds for making beads.
Entering the glass blowing shop, you will see the “birth” of a glass toy. The master, rotating the glass tube - the dart - with both hands, heats it in the flame of a gas burner until the glass becomes soft, and begins to blow through the hole in the tube - the tendril. A wonderful transformation of a glass blank into a ball, bell, or heart takes place!
Artists paint kind smiles for Santa Clauses, “lay” snow on the roofs of fairy-tale houses, and sprinkle them with “gold” and “silver.” Then the toys are “reinforced” - a tin cap with a wire is put on each one.
This is how amazing and very fragile Christmas tree decorations appear in our homes and decorate the coniferous beauties on New Year's Eve.
For some, a visit to a fairy-tale museum awakens nostalgia for a bygone childhood, while for others it plunges them into romantic dreams. Miracle trees, fantasy trees greet you as the most dear guests and dazzle you with their beauty. All visitors are happy to make a cherished wish near the 10-meter Christmas tree - the queen of the Klin tower!

Do you know that Santa Claus also has a birthday? We invite you to visit the fairyland where Santa Claus lives and where New Year's miracles are born!
We all love New Year since childhood. It is always an expectation of a miracle, a magical night when your most cherished wish can come true. We are preparing for the holiday by decorating the New Year tree with wonderful Christmas tree decorations.
On Santa Claus's birthday we will go to a very unusual, fabulous place - a factory where Christmas tree decorations are born. This is the fairy-tale country “Glassland”. Is waiting for you interactive show. Each room has its own surprise. You will be greeted by fairy-tale heroes and, with their help, you will be able to complete a fabulous task and receive prizes from Santa Claus.
You will see how Christmas tree decorations are made by hand - it is very interesting and entertaining! How thin-walled glass “soap bubbles” are born from fire, which are then painted in cheerful shiny colors and painted with a brush.
You will also be able to visit in the unique museum of Christmas decorations “Klinskoe Podvorie”. You will find out where the tradition of decorating the Christmas tree came from. This is a very ancient tradition. Initially, gifts brought to the spirits of deceased ancestors were hung on a real living spruce: pieces of candied apples, nuts made from tow dolls. The richer the gifts were, the more generously the ancient gods bestowed gifts on people. Later, after the adoption of Christianity, they began to hang gilded and silver-plated angels, wrap sweet gingerbreads, wrap nuts in colored paper, and decorate the top of the fir tree with the Star of Bethlehem. Under Soviet rule, Christmas trees were banned at one time; later, Stalin himself restored the tradition of Christmas trees - he organized the main Christmas tree of the country - the Kremlin.
At the Christmas tree decorations factory you see the fascinating process of birthing New Year's balls. The master, rotating the glass tube - the dart - with both hands, heats it in the flame of a gas burner until the glass becomes soft, and begins to blow through the hole in the tube - the tendril. A wonderful transformation of a glass blank into a ball, bell, or heart takes place!
Artists paint kind smiles for Santa Clauses, “lay” snow on the roofs of fairy-tale houses, and sprinkle them with “gold” and “silver.” Then the toys are “reinforced” - a tin cap with a wire is put on each one.
We, modern people, have long forgotten how the traditions of decorating Christmas trees began, but still, when hanging toys on the Christmas tree, we make our most cherished wishes and imagine that the heart is new love in the coming year, the doll is a new human life, nuts are wealth and prosperity, and Father Frost and the Snow Maiden will bring absolutely incredible, good miracles.

Pavlovsky Posad - «
Flowers of Russia on your shoulders"
The Pavloposad shawl is a unique, truly Russian phenomenon, a subject of national pride and one of the symbols of Russia. The scarf has long been an integral part of the Russian national costume. He not only made the outfit complete, but was often its main decoration.
For about 200 years, the Pavloposad shawl manufactory has been producing bright, colorful scarves and shawls with dense floral patterns, with the finest detailing of plant patterns, and careful delineation of each petal. The luxurious rose, shimmering with all the colors of the rainbow, became the main motif and recognized symbol of the Pavloposad scarf.
Magnificent scarves and shawls are an exquisite accessory to any outfit, emphasizing the beauty and impeccable style of its owner. But people said that these unique products warm not only the body, but also the soul. Perhaps because one of the founders of the factory was a real saint. The merchant Vasily Gryaznov, who together with Yakov Labzin began the production of the famous printed scarves in the 50s of the 19th century, was a famous righteous man during his lifetime. He enjoyed great spiritual authority among his contemporaries and, in terms of the power of his prayer, he was compared to Saint John of Kronstadt. Vasily Gryaznov equipped himself with a cell in the factory and prayed fervently, creating the special energy of this place, part of which was undoubtedly transferred to his brainchild - the fabulous Pavloposad shawls.
Subsequently, Vasily Gryaznov was canonized as a locally revered saint, and in memory of him a church was established in Pavlovsky Posad Pokrovsko-Vasilievsky Monastery (late 19th century).
Full of impressions, in a great mood, with wonderful gifts for the New Year and Christmas, we return to Moscow! The trip will be amazing!
