Dear colleagues, I present to you a master class on making crafts for the “New Year’s Clock” exhibition in kindergarten.

1. The basis is a cardboard box of the required size. We glue one short side and secure it with glue with a triangle, simulating a roof slope. The box remains open (without a lid) for ease of decoration.

2. Due to the fact that I had a brown box with a pattern, and to prevent it from showing through, I covered the box twice with white gouache.

3. We cover the blank with self-adhesive paper with a New Year theme.

4. Using a utility knife, we make a window for the cuckoo. There is no need to completely cut out the circle; we leave the window in a small area fixed to the base and bend it inside the house

5. Glue the disk to decorate the dial.

6. Using a stencil, we apply numbers on velvet paper, cut them out, and glue them onto the disk. Making arrows. The paper used was green.

7. Cut out two pieces of polystyrene foam, slightly larger in size than the roof slope. We connect at an angle that follows the angle of the roof, and secure with tape.

8. Secure the roof to the clock using double-sided tape.

9. Apply PVA glue to the roof and glue cotton wool to imitate snow.

10. As a pendulum, I took ready-made pine cones painted green for decoration with sticks inserted into the center. Around which I wrapped narrow decorative tinsel.

11. Glue sticks for the cuckoo’s place onto the window bent inward.

12. We fix our bird on the “perch”. We make two holes at the bottom of the clock, insert a small part of the pendulum into them, and secure it with glue and tape on the inside of the clock.
The clock is ready. We hang them from the top point of the roof slope. Happy New Year!!!

DIY watch for the New Year.

New Year is one of the holidays with a particularly warm and soulful atmosphere. And it is created from many small little things. A festive tree, colorful lights, beautifully wrapped gifts and, of course, various New Year decorations.

For those who want to create a festive and warm atmosphere with their own hands, we will tell you how to make a beautiful New Year's clock that can decorate any home. Beginning needlewomen can try to make a simple round clock from foam plastic, and those who have skills in this matter can try making a New Year's craft that looks more like a cuckoo house.

Template No. 2

Template No. 3

In principle, New Year's watches can have completely different shapes. If you wish, you can make them look like an ordinary round alarm clock or make a more massive product that can be placed on the wall.

But whatever form your craft takes, remember that in this case it is extremely important to pay attention to the decor. To make your watch really look like a New Year's decoration, be sure to decorate it with fir branches, cotton wool, shiny snowflakes and sequins.

As for the dial, it can be either simple or complex. If you don't want to bother, then just draw a circle, put numbers on it and attach it to the base. If your goal is a more original craft, then decorate it with an interesting thematic dial. You can see examples of holiday stencils for making New Year's watches a little higher.

How to make a beautiful New Year's watch out of a box?

If you want to make a New Year's craft as quickly as possible, then a ready-made box is exactly what you need. An ordinary rectangular box or, for example, a round cake box is perfect for these purposes. If you prefer this particular craft option, then you will only need to correctly fix the parts together and, of course, decorate them in an original way.

Watch from a cake box:

First of all, wash the box and dry it thoroughly
Next, take the paper of the color you need and cut out the numbers for the dial from it
Gently coat them with glue and secure them to the top of the box
While they dry, start decorating the inside of the craft.

Place colorful rain, small Christmas tree decorations, or just cute animal figurines in it.

Make plasticine blanks (they should be shaped like cones) and wrap them in foil
Connect the two parts of the box together, fix the pine cones on them and additionally decorate the craft with rain

New Year's watch from a gift box:

So, take a rectangular box and fix ribbons on its bottom, to which the cones will later be tied

At the next stage, using a stencil, cut out the festive dial and also fix it on the workpiece

Next, take two thin rectangular boxes and 2 pieces of triangular shaped cardboard and make a roof for your clock

Decorate the craft at your discretion (you can use absolutely all the New Year’s tinsel or fir branches)

DIY decorations

If you like to do everything with your own hands, then try making the very foundation yourself for New Year’s hours. Any box made of thick cardboard is ideal for these purposes. If you have never done it before, you can watch the master class posted a little higher. The picture shows a diagram, following which you can make a blank for an original craft without any problems.

But remember, even such a simple thing must be done as diligently as possible. This means that you cannot afford to cut out fold lines, as they say, by eye. If in the end you want to get the perfect blank, then you will first need to arm yourself with a ruler and a pencil, draw the cardboard correctly, and only then start cutting the lines.

When the box is ready, all you have to do is decorate it with New Year's tinsel. And don’t forget that first you definitely need to mark a festive dial on it. To make it clear to others that the craft was made in honor of the New Year, give preference to dials with Santa Claus, a Snowman, or simply beautiful snowflakes on them.

Recommendations for making a box

If you want to make a New Year's watch from candies, then you will have to make a round box of the required size with your own hands. In order for your craft to turn out perfect, you will need to make sure that the side of the cardboard blank is the same length as the candies you have chosen.

To begin, cover the cardboard blank with corrugated paper, foil or simply beautiful packaging. Try to fix it on the base as well as possible, because this will determine how well the candies will stick to it.
Glue the dial to the top of the box and be sure to make arrows. They can be made from more contrasting paper or wooden blanks painted in the desired color.
When all this is ready, you can start fixing the candy on the box. Try to lay them in such a way that there is no greater distance between them. If you have chosen candies with uneven edges, then fill in the resulting voids with rain.
After all the candies have been glued, all you have to do is decorate your New Year's clock with additional holiday decor. At this stage, you can allow yourself to use all your imagination and, in addition to the standard New Year's decor, use, for example, beautiful buttons or original rivets.

How to make a beautiful New Year's clock from disks?

The easiest way to make a clock from a disk is to simply take it, secure it on a string, and then use a marker to draw a dial on it. As a result, you will get a simple craft that can be used to paint a Christmas tree.

If you want to surprise others with a more interesting decoration, then don’t be lazy and make a more complex figure from the disks. After they are well fixed to each other, all you have to do is decorate them accordingly and attach arrows to them.

Another good option is to cover the disc with a ready-made holiday dial. In order to make such a watch, you will need to print a stencil to the required scale, cut it out and carefully stick it on the disk. As soon as everything dries well, you can attach a rope by which the decoration will be hung, and place it in any place convenient for you.

Figurines for decorating watches

If you have been doing handicrafts for a long time, then you probably know that polystyrene foam is a very malleable material. If desired, you can make a very beautiful New Year's watch out of it. If you have time, you can cut out a round piece of the desired size from this material, and then treat it the same way as with a round box. You can cover it with decorative material and then decorate it to your liking.

Also, if desired, the foam plastic can be decorated with paints and then decorated with shiny tinsel. Well, those needlewomen who are not afraid of painstaking work can try cutting out clocks from foam plastic. And in order for your craft to turn out festive, you will need to give it an interesting shape or simply decorate it with New Year’s figures made from the same foam. You can see how all this can be brought to life in the pictures posted above.

How to make a beautiful New Year's clock from salt dough?

Preparing for New Year's Eve

New Year's clock made of salt dough

If you like to do handicrafts with your children, then you will definitely enjoy making a New Year's clock from salt dough. There is nothing complicated in this process, as all you have to do is give the material the correct shape. But still remember that in order for your craft to turn out correctly, you need to approach the preparation of the dough as responsibly as possible.

You must achieve such a consistency that it does not crumble or stick to your hands. Some needlewomen advise beginners to add a little vegetable oil to the dough, citing the fact that it will be easy to roll out. But as practice shows, such dough ultimately dries very poorly and quickly cracks after drying.

In view of this, it will be better if you prepare the dough according to the following recipe:

Flour - 500 g
Salt - 250 g
Water - 250 ml

Yes, and remember that the prepared dough cannot be left to lie for a very long time, as this will certainly affect the strength of the finished product. Therefore, it will be better if, after mixing, you immediately begin creating a festive masterpiece. There are two ways to make a New Year's clock. You can simply roll out the dough and then cut the clock into the shape you want.

You can also try laying out the craft from small parts and only then drying it in the oven. Remember that the dough must be dried, because this is the only way you can get a strong structure that will not be afraid of moisture. If you try to quickly bake your workpieces, they may not dry out inside and this will lead to the formation of cracks after drying.

DIY New Year's craft cuckoo clock: photo

New Year's cuckoo clocks are made according to the same principle as those crafts with which we have already introduced you. In view of this, first you will need to prepare thick cardboard, glue or tape, holiday decor and paints for painting, and you can safely begin creating a New Year's decoration.

So:

First, cut out the blanks from which you will later make a house. When cutting, make sure that all parts are the correct size. If at least one of the blanks is smaller or larger than necessary, then in the end you will not be able to assemble the structure.

Having cut out all the necessary blanks, begin to connect them together, first with glue, and then with tape. This will help ensure that the finished structure is as strong as possible.

Having made the box, start making a blank that imitates a cuckoo's house. In this case, it is important to correctly calculate the size of the hole in which the bird will be visible. In order for her to look harmonious in it, it should be at least 1-2 cm taller and wider than she is.

At the final stage, make a cuckoo (it can be made of paper or plasticine) and fix it in the opening. Connect all the parts of the clock together and decorate them the way you like.

New Year's crafts from CONES.

Here is a simple paper craft for children for the New Year - Santa Claus from a cardboard cone. It’s very easy to do it yourself if an adult helps you twist and staple a cardboard bag.

Paper cone rolls up from a regular SEMI CIRCLE made of cardboard- or not even from half the circle, but from its third ( the smaller part of the circle we take under our cone bag, the thinner and more elongated the silhouette of the cone turns out).

Glued onto the finished red cardboard cone white paper overlay in the shape of a beard(triangular shape - right photo, or oval with long fringe - left photo). After gluing the beard, glue it on top face oval(add a mustache appliqué on top of the face if necessary) – draw eyes, nose, cheeks. You can glue the legs of Santa Claus to the cone.

Such New Year's crafts are convenient to do with children in kindergarten - if you prepare red cones held together with a stapler in advance. Give children decorative options, details, glue scissors and let them turn a red cardboard cone into Santa Claus.

Here are a few more design options for the same paper craft for the New Year. In the first case, the beard is one semicircular piece of paper. And in the second case, the beard is several oval layers of paper ( and each oval is shorter than the previous one) and the edges of each oval are cut into fringe strips. Come up with your own design - with your mind and imagination - and bring it to life with your own hands.

And here is a DIY version of Santa Claus, which can be folded right away of three cones.

FIRST lower red cone(this is Santa Claus’s coat) – we glue appliques of Santa Claus’s hands onto the sides of this lower red cone.

SECOND medium white cone(this is the beard of Santa Claus) – we glue a face and mustache onto it.

THIRD upper red cone(this is Santa Claus's hat)

From the same THREE cones of different sizes you can make a Christmas tree for children.

And here is Santa Claus, made of two cones - the lower COAT and the upper FACE WITH HAT.

Craft template You can copy directly from your monitor screen if you place a piece of paper directly on the screen and trace the translucent image with a pencil. To enlarge the image screen - you need to press the Ctrl button on your keyboard, and with your other hand roll the mouse wheel forward.

And if the theme of Santa Claus and his Reindeer is to your liking, then on our website there are just such heart-warming article-lessons with master classes and templates

Well, we will continue, about the topic of cone crafts. In such crafts the cone can only be the BODY of the future character- and his FACE can be inserted into the slot on the top of the cone - as was done on the New Year's snowman craft in the photo below. A good and simple craft for kindergarten classes (for middle and older groups - children 4-6 years old).

And here is an original craft where a New Year's holiday couple is made from cones - Father Frost and Snow Maiden. Our mothers made this craft with their own hands on the forum. Very talented and skillful.

New Year's crafts made from cardboard

You can use regular school cardboard. Cut out the details of New Year's characters from different colors of cardboard and glue them together. Make a SUPPORT at the back so that the figures stand vertically. Or instead of a support You can glue a box (of tea or cookies) to the back wall, cover it with colored paper, and fill it with sweets if you wish.

The craft in the photo below has a bag of sweets glued to the back of the snowman. Due to this, the figure does not fall.

You can use patterned paper in the craft - the kind that gifts are wrapped in. This way your craft will be even more elegant - with polka dots or flower patterns, like the New Year's penguin in the photo below.

Here is a compact Santa Claus made of red cardboard. You can use formiam or hard thick felt instead of cardboard.

Here's an interesting way to make Santa Claus out of cardboard - an easy-to-make children's craft

You will find many more ideas with applique in the form of Santa Claus in a special article

You can make a three-dimensional cardboard pendant for the Christmas tree using other techniques. We form a New Year's character from cardboard and colored paper. And then we glue a belly to it, which in turn we decorate with rhinestones. A semicircular tummy can be made by cutting a foam ball in half, or make from salt dough, then bake or dry.

You will find a template for such silhouette crafts in our special article

And here is a beautiful craft for the New Year for the kindergarten - a Christmas tree made of coated white cardboard. We glue two sheets of glossy coated cardboard together. IMPORTANT!!! — glue sheets of cardboard using dry glue (glue stick, double-sided tape), without wet PVA glue, otherwise the cardboard will rise and go in waves.
You can glue two sheets, or even three.

As a result, we will get a solid white plate. We transfer the Christmas tree template onto it. Trace the template with a pencil and cut it out. We sew a fluffy green garland along the edge of the Christmas tree with thread or glue it on. We attach New Year's balls to the legs of the Christmas tree, hang glass beads and satin ribbons, you can decorate it in different ways, at your discretion. We fix the Christmas tree in a stand. To ensure that the Christmas tree stands well, we weigh down the stand with plasticine, a wooden board, or a book.

New Year's crafts FROM Ribbons.

And here are crafts made from textile ribbons. You can use stiff ribbons of coarse, dense material and force the craft to hold its shape (as is done with the flower craft in the left photo below). There, solid red beads also act as a rigid frame and hold the ribbon petals in a clear shape.

You can use a soft ribbon and string it onto a thin wooden skewer to create the silhouette of a Christmas tree. A very simple and quick DIY craft for the New Year.

The same idea of a Christmas tree made from ribbons can be developed and transferred to other New Year’s characters - as was done in the children’s crafts in the photo below. You yourself, with your own mind and your own hands, can create new versions of this idea - and use any creative idea from this site only as a STARTING POINT for your own AUTHOR'S IDEA.

New Year's crafts

FROM PAPER STRIPES.

And here are ideas for New Year's crafts, where the basis for creative thought is a base in the form of a ball folded from strips of paper of the same length. The balls are glued to each other - we get a base in the form of a HEAD and BODY. And then the work goes on - gluing the face, hands and other elements of personalization of the craft.

In the example below, we see that two balls make Santa Claus if you glue an applique of a beard with a face and a mustache to the front ball, glue hands in mittens and fur cuffs to the sides of the body, and crown the top of the craft with a white cotton wool pompom.

And here is an example of a children's DIY craft made from strips of paper where two balls turn into a snowman due to the eyes and nose of a carrot. Two round hands and an applique of a broom and shovel.

And a cheerful New Year's deer can be made from ONE ball. Please note that next to the deer there are flat stars - they are made according to the same principle - the strips are folded into a ball - and then flattened along the equator line of the ball.

And here is the master class itself, showing how to make such a three-dimensional New Year's ball from strips of paper. Strips are cut. On each of them we find the MIDDLE POINT. We thread the thread into a needle - attach a bead to the end of the threaded thread and use a needle to pierce the MIDDLE POINTS of each strip.

We move the pierced strips apart with rays in different directions - and then we pierce the ends of each strip again with a needle at a height - at the top of the ball. We secure all this with a bead on the top and then all that remains is to decorate the ball for the character or craft toy we need.

Using a similar principle, we can create such a children’s craft-toy for the Christmas tree from strips of paper (as in the photo below).

And here are alternative designs of strip technology. You see penguins that are made of stripes but are connected into a ball according to a different principle.

And in the example of the polar bear from the photo below, we see that the head part of the craft can be a ping-pong ball or a foam ball. And in the middle, beads can be strung on a thread (this will make the craft look more elegant). Think with your head, dream with your soul - and do it with your own hands.

A beautiful New Year's team for a competition in kindergarten or school.

New Year's crafts

FROM ROLLS.

You can make a lot of beautiful New Year's crafts from toilet paper rolls. You can make elegant Santa Clauses like in the left photo below. Please note that the beard on this craft is made of white lace. And the cap on the head is sewn from fabric (you can use colored crumpled crepe paper).

But the snowmen (in the right photo below) - you can make headphones from fluffy wire brushes. Scarves are made from pieces of fabric, and real buttons are glued on.

But the craft is an angel. Very delicate and easy to make. We cover the roll with paint of two colors - pink gouache at the top, white at the bottom. For the wing we take lace paper napkin(in the absence of one, you can simply cut out an openwork snowflake from paper) fold it in half and glue it to the back of the angel.

The most interesting thing is the angel's hairstyle - it only looks complicated, but in fact - the upper part of the hairstyle is ordinary yellow paper circle, which are around the circumference fringed– these fringes fall to the side of the roll in the form of a circular bang. And then On the sides we add strips of paper, first we twist the lower part of each strip onto a pencil (or run the blade of scissors along them so that they twist themselves into a tight curl). You will find a lot of ideas for paper angels in our article.

You can also make elegant Christmas trees and crafts from toilet rolls.

Here is an interesting idea for a round Christmas tree cut from a roll. We take the roll, flatten it into a plane, draw the legs of the Christmas tree on the sides of this plane, cut them out, and then flatten the roll back into a circle. Glue on rhinestones and a star.

Or the roll can only be used as a stand for a flat cardboard Christmas tree.

Rollo also makes excellent penguins. – the rolls must be covered with thick black gouache before making the craft. And so that during application the children’s hands do not get dirty with black paint and do not contaminate other parts of the craft, we must COVER our BLACK ROLLS with HAIR SPRAY - this will make the paint shine and stop staining your hands with black soot.

You can draw familiar features of your favorite cartoon character on rolls (as was done with the snowmen from the cartoon Frozen).

Or you can decorate the craft with additional cutting elements - as was done in the example of the deer in the right photo below. Here we cut out the crotch between the deer's legs (so that these legs, in fact, appeared). And we also cut off the upper part of the roll - leaving a tail-neck - on this bent tail we will glue the silhouette of the head.

We can come up with our own designs of familiar New Year's characters. It's so interesting to pick up a gray, unremarkable external roll-sleeve and turn it into a piece of the New Year's holiday.

But here is a children's craft made from rolls, but already cut into pieces. This can be made from ordinary flat cardboard, if you roll it into a tube using a stapler and cut it into the lengths we need. A simple and interesting three-dimensional craft for children for the New Year.

And also from rolls - you can fold it like this such a beauty - a big Christmas tree. It will look good in the office and in a kindergarten group. True, the rolls need to be assembled in advance and then painted for quite some time. There won't be enough gouache - it's better to buy a liter jar of white facade paint and a bottle of green color. Pour the color into white acrylic, stir and paint with a wide brush or sponge.

New Year's crafts

FROM BARPLE.

But here are New Year's crafts, which are made from a cheap and very convenient texture material - ROUGH BARP.

Dense burlap starches well and takes on a rigid shape. It can be painted any color and folded into the rigid shape of craft parts.

You can cut out petals from starched, dyed burlap and fold the flower. You can glue the burlap onto cardboard and cut out the silhouette of an owl - add appliques of wings and eyes with a beak.

You can make very delicate, beautiful crafts for the New Year from inconspicuous-looking burlap. For example, this mitten has acquired a New Year's chic thanks to lace, beads, bells and pine branches.

A simple piece of gray fabric can sparkle in your imagination. And turn into a deer with twig antlers or a cute New Year's bird.

You can cut out stars from rough canvas by simply gluing them onto cardboard (as in the left photo below).

Or by folding diamond-shaped rays into modules from burlap and making a star out of them (as in the right photo below).

You can cover an ordinary toilet paper roll with a piece of burlap and decorate it with a red cardboard edging and an applique of colored paper. And we will get a cute craft-basket for the New Year tree. A simple and interesting work for a competition in kindergarten.

You can stretch burlap like a canvas onto a picture frame and draw a New Year's picture on it. You can safely take such a New Year’s children’s craft to a competition at school or kindergarten. It will decorate any exhibition of New Year's children's works.

FROM BOXES

And here are crafts made from ordinary boxes. SMALL boxes of tea, cookies, toothpaste, cream, medicine are suitable. For large crafts, LARGE juice boxes, shoe boxes or office paper boxes are suitable.

A nose, a shaggy tree, ears made of colored paper, horns made of thick tree branches - and here we have a New Year’s craft deer. Or stick a nose, eyes, buttons on a box covered with white paper, tie it with a scarf and put on a hat - you get a simple snowman craft.

Using the same principle, any rectangular surface of the box can be decorated as Santa Claus, a penguin, or any New Year's character.

You can turn the box into a toy snowy house.

New Year's crafts APPLICATIONS.

And here are applique crafts for the New Year. You can make small shaped appliques on rolled cardboard - as pendant toys for the New Year tree.

The simplest applique for school or kindergarten is a snowman. But it doesn’t have to be done using traditional techniques. You can show your imagination and make a snowman from non-standard materials - gypsum plaster diluted in water, or from finely chopped crumpled paper.

Children's New Year's applique craft can be multi-layered. And it doesn’t have to be done on a rectangular sheet of paper. On the contrary, a children's craft will look more elegant if done on a round sheet of cardboard. And cover the edges of the sheet with paper lace cut from a large paper snowflake.

And here are more examples of volumetric convex applique crafts. Any character that has a muzzle or face can be made in the form of a voluminous applique if a triangular DOT is provided on the silhouette of the face. You can see these darts on the templates in the picture below.

We simply cut them with scissors (we make a cut on only one side of the dart) - and then we glue the side of the dart under the cut (hiding the dart in the gluing).

New Year's crafts NAPKIN HOLES.

But here are New Year's crafts that can decorate your holiday table. The fact is that the Santa Clauses we see below are attachments for table napkins.

In the first case (in the left photo below), we make a bag out of spare paper, glue a beige face, a white mustache, and a white edging on the hat onto it (but do not make a beard). Next, we take a white napkin, fold it like a beard and put it inside the bag - part of the white napkin sticks out of the bag, reminiscent of the beard of Santa Claus.

In the second case (in the right photo below) we cut out a white circle from thick white paper (or cardboard). On the upper side of the circle we draw a face, a nose, and glue on a mustache. AND MAKE A SLIT over the straight line of the face. We fold a large red table napkin into a sharp triangle and insert the sharp end of the triangle into the slot - pull it through and get... at the top (above the slot) part of the napkin looks like a red cap... at the bottom under the beard, part of the red napkin looks like Santa Claus's fur coat.

A simple craft that your children will really like, especially since you can make several of these crafts for all the guests invited to the festive New Year's table.

And here are the napkin holders, which are made from cardboard rolls from toilet paper. Also a simple solution and a fun children's craft - for a garden or school on New Year's Eve.

And here are ideas for simple children's crafts, where a cardboard silhouette is wrapped with colored threads or thin ribbons of bright colors. So you can wrap a triangle with threads, sew a couple of rhinestones or beads on it and we will get an elegant Christmas tree craft.

You can pull the threads through the holes (punctures with a hole punch) - like in the snowflake craft from the left photo.

Or thread the threads through the slits - like on the round Christmas tree decoration crafts from the right photo below.

You can combine any New Year's idea with the technique of thread winding. And get original and simple crafts for children. For example, this is implemented on crafts with a NEW YEAR'S DEER from the photo below.

The brighter and richer the color of the threads, the brighter and more festive your children's craft will be. Bright ribbons, adhesive rhinestones and stars cut out of thick foil will only add completeness to the thread craft.

And if the mother or grandmother in your family loves to crochet, then you can make crocheted New Year’s crafts - small or even large.

New Year's crafts PENDANTS.

For a competition in a garden or school, you can make a larger-scale craft. For example, a beautiful New Year's pendant.

The general meaning of such a craft is that there should be a large holding part at the top and smaller elements of the overall craft design should emanate from it on strings.

You can hang a variety of pendant crafts on a lamp or on a window ledge. Making them from openwork paper napkins for confectionery (as in the photo below) is very simple and quick.

Even from pages of scrap paper you can make bright New Year crafts and pendants. If only I had the desire and a little time. It's really not difficult. And even from the photo it’s clear how these paper modules are made and how they are assembled onto one central round piece - just with glue.

NEW YEAR'S WREATHS.

And here is one of my favorite themes for children's New Year's crafts. Children simply jump with pleasure when you offer them such a serious craft. They love the donut-shaped format and love that the result is that their work can be used as a real Christmas decoration that hangs on their family's door year after year.

In this article I will give just a few ideas to get you started. But in the future I plan to make a separate article on children’s crafts-wreaths for the New Year, and then the link will work here.

In the meantime, let's look at the basic ideas for creating the basis for New Year's wreaths. We will make the base in the form of a bagel. A standard A4 cardboard sheet will be too small in circumference. Therefore, the base for such a wreath can be cut from a large sheet of corrugated cardboard packaging - a pizza box is ideal.

If there are no large cardboard sheets (especially if you are preparing such a craft for a whole kindergarten group), then you can cut out SEMI CIRCLES separately from cardboard, and then use tape to connect them into one solid ring. So that in the place where the half rings are glued and joined the flimsy fold didn't work out we must strengthen the gluing area by slipping pieces of hard cardboard under it.

And we give this ready-made, wrapped blank to the child and let him figure out how to decorate his wreath. You can offer him templates or ready-made cut out figures and decoration options.

Or you can make pretty wreaths out of double-sided green cardstock—like these—with a bright red paper bow.

You don't have to wrap the donut base if it is completely covered with a finishing applique, as was done on the Christmas children's wreath in the photo below.

Or you can not glue the wreath ring, not wrap it, but paint it over with gouache. Dry and paste over with appliques - for example, these snowmen-snowflakes.

Also, a regular paper or plastic plate can serve as the basis for the Christmas wreath ring. We cut out the bottom from it and then decorate it according to our design plan.

Wrapping a wreath can be done quickly using thick woolen threads. Or knitted threads (made from knitted fabric cut into strips. You can decorate such a wreath with natural materials, figures made of thick felt, cardboard appliqués.

New Year's crafts made from felt.

(nice and fast).

You can make quick, bright crafts from thick felt. Here is a snowflake candlestick, it is created from a flat sheet of felt. I adjusted the diagram below to fit the size of a felt sheet of 30 by 30 cm. But you can reduce the picture to a size convenient for you by copying it onto a sheet of Word and pulling the corners of the image.

If you buy green felt in two or three shades of green, you can quickly make a Christmas tree like this with your own hands - a craft consisting of flat pancakes, which are slightly pulled together with a needle in the center (to create a wavy surface of the disk).

That is, in the center of the round felt, draw a small circle with chalk, follow it with stitches of thread - and then tighten these circular stitches (to create a bulge in the center (like a hat with large brims). We also make disks with a tie in the center - of different sizes , alternating shades of green and assembling our Christmas tree like a pyramid.

New Year's crafts from PLATES.

From plastic plates you can make not only the bases for Christmas wreaths, but also any New Year's characters. The round shape of the plate easily turns into the face of a snowman, deer, Santa Claus, or penguin.

You can cut the plate as you wish - to suit any of your plans. If a round shape doesn't conjure up a Christmas craft in your mind, change the shape. Make a semicircle - and now the face of Father Frost with a sculpted beard appears.

Cut the circle of plates into quarters - and here they are unobtrusively folded into a Christmas tree. All that remains is to take green paint and colored beads.

You can cut a truncated trapezoid from the circle of the plate and turn it into the head of a Christmas reindeer.

New Year's crafts

from a CASE from eggs.

And here are the ideas for the most inexpensive crafts for the New Year. Ordinary paper egg cassettes. Their convex rows of cells will help give birth to many New Year's crafts. Your imagination will breathe life into these cardboard honeycombs - and bright colors will give new life to old packaging.

If you work as a kindergarten teacher, then you can find this material on the first floor of the kindergarten; several large egg cassettes are thrown out in the kitchen every day. Chefs will be happy to become your regular suppliers of this creative material.

You can cut out several rows of cells at once from a cassette maker and turn them into a bright Christmas tree or a convex snowman.

You can cut out individual cell bottoms and use them to form a snowman pyramid.

You don’t have to cut the cassette box at all and make a team of New Year’s reindeer with a sleigh for Santa Claus from a whole one.

Even one small cell can become a cute little New Year's craft - a tiny mingguin or a little deer.

And to make the little ones look like solid children’s work, they can be surrounded by decorations - winter surroundings. Christmas trees or ice floes, as is the case with penguins. Pieces of ice floes can be cut out of foamed plastic - such liners are in your winter boots, or they are used as pads when transporting fragile goods or technical devices. Or you can just go to a hardware store (or to the construction department of the market
a) and buy a meter of thick insulation for the walls there - it also has the same structure.

New Year's crafts

FROM PAPER FANS.

We can also make crafts from an easy-to-design material - round fans folded from paper. The simplest design is a Christmas tree. Here we stack the fans on top of each other in a festive pyramid - we get a Christmas tree with our own hands.

Here is a visual master class showing the general principle of creating all-round fans. The main thing is to take a VERY LONG strip - so that its length when folded like an accordion is enough to round it.

If you don’t have such a long strip, you can fold 2 separate strips and then glue them into one common long accordion-snake.

And by the way, if you make a pattern on such an accordion on its edges - and on its tips - then when you turn the fan into a round shape, we will get an openwork snowflake. You can also make an independent New Year's craft with your own hands.

Paper fans can be used as decorative elements in the construction of multi-layer Christmas tree applique toys made of paper.

And you can also use your imagination and invent original New Year's volumetric applications from such paper fans.

The simplest thing that you can quickly and easily do with your own hands is a Christmas wreath craft. Just a base ring made of cardboard and a bunch of decorative fans to decorate the donut base of the wreath.

These are the ideas you found for yourself and your children today. Now the matter remains small. Evaluate the materials available at home. And get to work.

Making a piece of a magical holiday with your own hands is already a small miracle. And the New Year's spirit of happiness consists of small miracles.

Let your hands create happiness. Happiness for the next New Year.

Happy New Year to the author of this article, Olga Klishevskaya.

There is nothing more enjoyable than creating New Year's crafts with your own hands.

On this magnificent holiday, which gives us the pleasant smell of tangerines and fir branches, it is better to decorate the house in a special way.

It’s no longer so interesting to buy Christmas tree decorations and other decorations in the store.

Today it is in fashion to create everything yourself, because it is more valuable and it contains a piece of your soul.

Besides, you won’t see such creative New Year’s crafts on store shelves. Everything is typical and the same as thousands of people.

Be original, please your children, loved ones and, most of all, yourself. You no longer need to spend money on expensive New Year's decorations; it's better to spend it on gifts.

New Year's craft Santa Claus from a pine cone

A funny and cheerful grandfather, which is very easy to make. To do this, take:

big bump;
plasticine;
a sheet of black and red paper;
scissors;
paints and brushes;
floss or regular sewing threads.

Do-it-yourself Santa Claus from a pine cone will be the most interesting New Year's craft, because a holiday without Santa Claus is not a holiday, but with such a sweet and kind old man, the whole New Year will pass the same way.

We will need plasticine in three colors: black, yellow and red.

The floss threads can be replaced with any other ones. I wouldn’t say that sewing threads would be a great option; it’s better to take knitting threads. But if you don’t have any other than sewing ones, then just use more of them.

How to make Santa Claus from a pine cone with your own hands

The New Year's Santa Claus craft is done in just a few steps:

creating a torso;
head;
decoration.

We will make a body from a pine cone, which we will thoroughly paint red.

I used regular watercolor paints. I applied two coats and it turned out a deep red color.

You can also use gouache, I think it will look even better.

We take a black piece of plasticine and make boots and gloves.

While the cone is drying, you can start creating a head for New Year's Santa Claus.

The head is made of plasticine. Roll yellow (white or beige) plasticine into a circle.

Take the floss threads and cut off ¼ of the skein for the beard. To make your beard fluffy, you can cut the bottom of the threads.

The rest of the threads will go to the hair.

Gluing your beard is easy. We work with plasticine, and it is known to be a malleable material for creating New Year's crafts.

We push the threads for Santa Claus's beard from the pine cone into the plasticine and disguise it, smoothing the plasticine.

Do the same with your hair.

We make our grandfather's eyes and nose. Traditionally made of black and red flowers.

You can experiment and make your eyes out of beads and your nose out of sequins.

The head is ready, now you need to make a hat for Santa Claus. We will make it from colored paper.

Roll the paper into a cone and glue it.

We cover the bottom of the hat with cotton wool and insert a boom box.

We attach all the parts of the New Year's craft together.

And for decoration we make a belt from black colored paper. It turns out this is Santa Claus from a pine cone. He looks almost like he's alive.

New Year's craft “Winter in a glass”

A very original craft that can be used as a decoration for the New Year’s interior.

I liked this interesting idea because it is quite simple to make.

Children will be happy to help you create “Winter in a Glass.”

For the New Year's craft we will need:

transparent dessert glass;
salt;
landscape sheet or colored paper;
ribbon;
PVA glue;
Super glue;
scissors;
decorations.

There is no need to tear the lid off the cup - remove it carefully so that you can easily glue it back later.

We will need paper to create gifts, as well as ribbon.

Any decorations will do. You can use sequins, beads and other decorative elements.

You can put children's toys from Kinders related to New Year's themes into the glass as contents.

I didn’t have any kinder ones, so I decided to make a Christmas tree with gifts.

How to make a New Year's craft “Winter in a glass”

What materials will you need:

cardboard box;
album sheets;
colored paper;
PVA glue;
cotton wool;
scissors;
mechanism for watches.

The watch mechanism can be purchased at the store. It is not expensive, but if you have an old alarm clock or a non-working clock, you can get the mechanism from there.

How to make the basis of a New Year's clock

We start our New Year's craft by covering the box with white album sheets.

We cut out the lid of the box into a triangle to match the roof and also paste it over.

After this, we begin to glue the watch with colored paper. You can choose different colors, even make them multi-colored.

How to make a roof for a New Year's clock

I made the roof from cotton wool and cardboard. We fold the cardboard into a triangle and begin to cover it with cotton wool.

It's quite easy to do. It turns out this is a snow-covered New Year's roof.

For beauty, we added a chimney. You can make something of your own. For example, Santa Claus climbing onto the roof, various birds and other decorations.

Use scissors to make a hole in the center of the clock and insert the mechanism.

New Year's clock decor

You can decorate it however you like. We decided to make a dial out of sequins and paint it with a corrector.

We liked drawing the most. Lots of snowflakes, snowmen, gifts and beautiful patterns are the best decoration.

Anything that comes to your mind, you can draw with a proofreader.

If you are good at drawing with paints, pencils or felt-tip pens, you can use them.

Give free rein to your imagination, and you will get an original New Year's craft “Clock”!

I hope we were able to give you some ideas for interior decoration in the New Year. Your children and you will be satisfied, and guests and friends will ask you to make the same for them!
