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 strips 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 leaf 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

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 a 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 run to the store for him. Take a plastic bottle and make it yourself. This Santa Claus under the tree will look much better.

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.

As for the stitches, when sewing they need to be done only from the inside out. Sew all parts together right sides together. The finished product must be turned out and stuffed with cotton wool.

Making a New Year's toy with the children for the Christmas tree 2019

To make a toy it is not necessary to use new things. You can use textile waste. They are in every home. An excellent option is terry socks

These cute piglets can be made literally in one evening.

Work on the toy begins with stuffing it with filler. It is advisable to take padding polyester. It's much easier and faster to work with.

Fill tightly enough so that the product is stable and holds the desired shape. Having reached the heel area, stop the stuffing process. Give the body an oval shape.

As for the unfilled sock, it is cut off with scissors.

The resulting hole is tightened with thread. The needle and thread are threaded from the inside out, it should come out. Walk along the perimeter of the folded edge of the hole with a running stitch, and then pull it off.

Put the cut part of the product on the body. It is important that the elastic frames the edge that is not darned. This is what will be the head.

If the sock is too long, the excess is cut off and the hole is tightened according to the previous scheme. Given the fact that the elastic can move when tightened, the child will need the help of an adult.

A future piglet cannot do without cute ears. They can be made from a second sock, namely from its elastic band.

Cut it carefully using scissors. Then cut in half crosswise. Turn it inside out to use chalk to mark the places for stitching, drawing an eyelet. Sew along the marked line, but do not touch the bottom of the elastic. Turn the ears through the hole. It is important that the stitching remains inside.

If the elastic band is too thin, the part will not hold the desired shape. Solving this problem is very simple. To do this, a layer of thick paper or filler is placed inside the ear.

Then the parts are sewn to the body. In this case, it is advisable to use a hidden seam. Attach the front part first, and then the back.

The family toy is almost ready for the upcoming New Year. The only thing left to do is to sew on the buttons for the heels and eyes. To do everything clearly and correctly, mark the required areas with chalk.

Arrange the cut out strips to create two multi-colored “suns” overlaid on top of each other. Using the cut out circles and glue, secure each layer first, then glue the bottom and top center pieces together. Please note that the tips of the multi-colored “rays” of the bottom layer curl clockwise, and the “rays” of the top layer curl counterclockwise.

The next stage is weaving the strips in a circle. Use clothespins to secure the “rays” while weaving

Now all that remains is to secure the ends of the strips with glue and hide them under the cut out circle. Now you can use a needle to pierce 2 holes on the ball, through which you can thread the thread for the pendant. The Christmas tree toy is ready!

10 cool ideas for DIY Christmas tree decorations (video)

DIY Christmas tree decorations.

1. Ballerina made of thick paper.

To make this simple decoration you need to prepare:

✓ Thick paper;

✓ Thin paper;

✓ Scissors;

✓ Ballerina template;

We print out the template of the ballerina we like, cut it out, prepare the tutu (ballerina’s skirt) - when cutting out a simple snowflake, you can use the diagram below, when the snowflake is ready, cut it on one side, try it on the ballerina’s waist and fasten it with glue. Finally, using a needle, we create a puncture on top of the product and thread the fishing line.

2. Unusual DIY Christmas tree decorations made of wire and beads.

To work you will need:

✓ Thick wire;

✓ Thin wire;

✓ Beads, bugles, beads;

✓ Wire cutters.

From thick wire we form the frame of the product (herringbone, heart or star), then we string multi-colored beads, glass beads and beads onto a thin wire, after which we wrap the resulting “garland” around the frame of the product. Finally, the entire product can be additionally wrapped with thin wire without stringed beads.

3. Christmas trees made from twigs.

To work you will need:

✓ Thin dry twigs;

✓ Saw or jigsaw;

✓ Beads;

✓ Acrylic paints and brush.

Using a jigsaw, we cut the branches into pieces of different lengths so that, after assembly, the silhouette of a Christmas tree is formed, then using an awl, we make a hole in the center of each cut branch, after which we string the wooden pieces onto a thin ribbon, not forgetting to thread a bead between each branch. Finally, we paint the resulting Christmas tree decoration with acrylic paint.

4. DIY Christmas tree decorations made from burnt out light bulbs.

Easy way #1. We cover the light bulb with a layer of PVA glue and generously sprinkle the product with glitter, wrap the base of the light bulb with twine, not forgetting to create a hanging rope for the spruce branch. You can complement the product with a small card with New Year’s greetings.

Simple method number 2. Snowman. We cover the light bulb with PVA glue, sprinkle generously with white glitter or semolina mixed with glitter, glue twig hands onto the transparent glue, draw eyes, mouth, buttons with black paint, and orange paint for the nose.

5. Fabric Christmas tree decorations.

On a suitable fabric, using a template (for toys of the same shape and size), draw out a Christmas tree, star, heart or Christmas candy. Then we sew the two fabric sides inside out together, sewing the product by hand or on a sewing machine, turn it inside out, stuff it with cotton wool or padding polyester, sew up the hole and decorate the product with bows, rhinestones, beads or ribbons.

6. Ball of thread.

To work you will need:

✓ Balloon or medical fingertip;

✓ PVA glue;

✓ Plastic cup,

✓ Scissors;

✓ Needle;

✓ Rhinestones.

We take a plastic cup, use a needle at the very bottom (see photo) to make through holes into which we thread the thread, then pour PVA glue into this cup, after which we inflate a balloon or a medical fingertip, tie it so that it does not deflate, and begin to wrap the threads in a mess . We leave it to dry for 24 hours, then carefully pierce the ball with a needle, wait for it to go down, take it out and use transparent moment glue to decorate the product with rhinestones.

7. Christmas tree toy - in the form of a wrapped gift.

✓ Thick cardboard;

✓ Ruler;

✓ Scissors;

✓ Wrapping paper;

✓ Decorative tape;

On a sheet of cardboard we create a template for the future box (see photo), cut it out, bend along the dotted lines, form a box, and glue it together. We take wrapping paper and, according to the diagram presented below, we pack the “gift”, not forgetting to tie a ribbon and secure the fishing line.

8. DIY Christmas tree decorations made from salt dough.

How to make salt dough.

Required ingredients:

✓ Flour - 200 grams;

✓ Salt - 200 grams;

✓ Cold water - 125 milliliters;

✓ Sunflower oil - 5 tablespoons.

Take 1 glass of fine salt, mix thoroughly with 1 glass of flour, add 5 tablespoons of sunflower oil and gradually pour in cold water. Mix the mixture and hide the dough in a plastic bag (so as not to dry out), take the dough from the bag in small parts and make New Year’s Christmas tree decorations...

In general, making a Christmas tree decoration with your own hands from salt dough is not so difficult, let’s take a deer for example, roll out the dough into a thin layer, cut out a deer template from paper (the templates are presented below), apply it to the dough and trace it with a thin toothpick along the marked lines We cut out the product using a thin, pointed knife, and leave the resulting deer to dry in the sun or radiator until completely dry. Sometimes this natural drying process takes several days. When the product is completely dry, paint it silver using a spray can, leave it to dry, and finally cover it with a layer of varnish. You can decorate the deer with a ribbon, a chain around the neck, a rhinestone on the nose and eye.

You can make all kinds of snowmen, snowflakes and stars from puff pastry... By the way, snowflakes and stars, after drying, can be painted with gel pens of a matching color.

9. Christmas ball made of figured confetti.

To work you will need:

✓ Foam ball;

✓ Pins with beaded caps;

✓ Figured hole punch - flowers, Christmas trees or snowflakes;

We prepare a large number of figured confetti from white thick paper, glue a satin ribbon to the ball, and begin to apply the confetti, simultaneously securing them with pins with beaded caps.

10. Christmas ball made of woolen threads.

To work you will need:

✓ Foam ball;

✓ Transparent adhesive moment;

✓ Thick woolen threads.

We cover the ball in small parts with transparent glue-moment and wrap it in a circle with threads. Finally, we install a bracket on top of the ball into which we thread the fishing line.

11. Ball of paper roses.

To work you should prepare:

✓ Corrugated paper of a suitable color;

✓ Glue gun;

✓ Styrofoam ball.

We cut the corrugated paper into narrow strips, from which we form rose buds (see photo), tie each bud from below with a thread so that it does not unravel. After the required number of flowers is ready, glue the buds using a glue gun to the base of the foam ball, tightly joining each other, leaving no gaps.

12. Foam ball decorated with rhinestones.

In this case, everything is generally simple... We take a foam ball (sold in the “Everything for creativity” departments) and paste it with large and small rhinestones.

13. Christmas trees made from ribbons.

You need to prepare:

✓ A bright ribbon 30 cm long, approximately 1 cm wide.

✓ Beads (round or square);

It is better to start forming a Christmas tree from the bottom, string a bead onto a thread, then thread a ribbon, and so in order, alternating beads and ribbon, we form a Christmas tree (see photo).

The cones can be painted in a suitable shade from a spray can, and also powdered with glitter (it is better to glue glitter with PVA glue); finally, in the lower and upper parts of the cone, you can attach transparent beads, reminiscent of frozen droplets of water, and instead of thread or fishing line, attach a thin decorative chain.

15. Pasta snowflakes.
