To decorate the tree with “precious paper stones”, you just need to print the finished templates, cut them out and glue the Christmas tree toys out of paper.

Before you glue the craft completely, attach a loop from the inside, for which you then hang the toy on the Christmas tree. Finished paper stones can be coated with glitter for beauty.

Most people associate ice cream more with hot weather and summer vacations, however, Christmas tree toys in the form of waffle cups with delicious treats look very festive and original on a Christmas tree. To make these Christmas paper toys, you will need kraft paper packaging (for cups) and corrugated paper of different colors for the ice cream itself.

Cut circles from kraft paper, cut them in half. Fold a cone from each semicircle, glue it. Crumple the corrugated paper of different colors into lumps, for one Christmas tree toy you will need two such lumps. Now we need to string "cups" and "ice cream" on the thread, making loops on top, for which you then hang New Year's decorations from paper on a Christmas tree.

There is very little time left before the New Year, and it is time to think about holiday decorations for the home. You can buy ready-made options in the store, but it’s much better to do original things with your own hands.

We are in site  We believe that children should be involved in this business, and we have gathered great ideas for New Year's crafts.

Snowman sock

These unnecessary socks will make such funny snowmen. You will need socks, rice to fill, a few shreds and buttons. Cut off the toe at the sock, and on the other hand, tie it with a thread. Pour the rice into a round shape, pull it again with a thread and sprinkle more rice, forming a smaller ball. Sew on the eyes and nose, make a scarf from the patch, sew on the buttons. And from the cut part you get a great hat.

Christmas pendants

The cinnamon stick is taken as a basis, several artificial spruce twigs and multi-colored buttons are attached to it with glue. Such Christmas trees not only decorate the house, but also fill it with the warming aroma of cinnamon.

Traffic deer

Bottle caps are great craft material. For example, you can make such a cute deer. You will need a few corks, glue and different beads for decoration. This is not a shame and hang on the Christmas tree.

Crafts from sticks

Ordinary ice cream sticks make cute Christmas trees, snowmen and snowflakes. You need paints, sparkles, buttons and a little imagination. Even the smallest children will cope with such crafts.

Colored paper Christmas trees

These wonderful Christmas trees can be made by making a cone of green paper or cardboard and decorating it with various things. Buttons, pebbles, beads and various paper figures are suitable.

Potato drawings

Pasta Snowflakes

Stick pasta of different shapes with glue and cover with silver paint, fasten the ribbon - an unusual New Year’s snowflake is ready.

Snowmen from the covers

Cover the metal bottle caps with white paint (it is better to take acrylic) and glue them together, as shown in the picture. Draw a snowman's face and decorate it with a scarf from a bright ribbon. If you attach a loop to it from above, then the snowman can be hung on a Christmas tree.

Crafts from cones

From the cones you can make different animals and any other characters. You will need paints, shreds, buttons and, of course, imagination and inspiration.

Button tree

Pick up green buttons of different diameters and a few brown ones for the trunk and secure them with a thick thread. Decorate the crown with an asterisk.

Painted balls

Place the pieces of wax pencils in a transparent Christmas ball, heat it with a hairdryer, constantly twisting. When melted, the pencils leave beautiful colored streaks inside the ball.


The step-by-step instructions for each craft are different, so it’s better to see clearly than to read.

What New Year and Christmas can be more magical than the Christmas tree. In the evening, when the light is off, a fairy tale begins in the mysterious flickering of lanterns in the branches. Everyone comes up with his own magical story.

In some, the nutcracker defeats the king of mice, in others, snowflakes lead round dances. We decided to compose a fairy tale about a Christmas elf. It will be constantly changing, overgrown with new subjects, supplemented by characters and most likely, each year will be different. Only the beginning of our fairy tale will always be the same: - Once upon a time there was a little Christmas tree elf in his cozy house, among the furry spruce branches ...

Here we decided to make such a fabulous house with our own hands today. Join now, because the fairy tale is already beginning!

For the walls we will take a rectangular piece from a cardboard box. We cut a hole for the window, and designate a place for the door. We will strengthen the walls with a "wild stone". Take pieces of an egg shell and glue it with PVA glue.

To make our masonry look more realistic, we need to imitate traces of cement mortar in the joints. Yes, and the shell will be held so tight. We seal the walls with ordinary gray toilet paper. When it dries, we clean off the excess, exposing the protruding parts of our "stones".

When the cone scales stick well, we put down the pipe, because there will probably be a fireplace or stove in the house so that our elf lives in heat and can cook magical potions or porridge.

We twist the pipe from a small piece of cardboard and glue it with lentils, as if it were a fireproof bare.

For the greater importance, we will make a ladder for the roof. She is from the same toilet paper, twisted into flagella. Yes, we almost forgot about the window frame, cut it out of cardboard.

Now set the roof in place and tint the facade of the house. We will do this with ordinary gouache. Although acrylic will be better, it is not necessary to varnish it.

It remains to glue the finished fairy house on the base. Since we planned that our elf will have light in the window, we will cut a hole for the LED at the base.

We wanted to decorate the courtyard. Snow is cotton wool, and from it is a snowman. The Christmas tree is that “tattered” cone painted green. This is not necessary, maybe your elf will live in a hanging house. Then only the bottom and eyelet come in handy.

We made such a fabulous house with our own hands in just an evening, and the little Christmas tree elf has already begun to live its own life. For him, a bathhouse, a cellar, and even neighbors with their houses have already been invented, this is a hedgehog and a squirrel.

Decoupage - decorate a bottle of champagne for the New Year

A handmade gift is always original and unique. Want to surprise your loved ones? Make a decoupage on a bottle of champagne. Such a New Year’s crafts will not go unnoticed.

For decoration you will need:

  • A bottle of champagne;
  • a three-layer napkin with a New Year's motive;
  • pVA glue;
  • acrylic paint;
  • decorations.

First of all, it is necessary to clean the bottle of stickers. To do this, dip it in a container of warm water and leave it for a while.

We cover the entire open surface of the bottle with acrylic paint. The first coat can be applied with a brush. After drying, paint the bottle a second time, but use a piece of sponge already (“lick it”).

In just an hour, the acrylic paint will dry out, so you can remove the tape from the neck and proceed to the next stage of decoration. We take a napkin for decoupage and take out the selected fragment of the pattern from it.

We remove the two lower layers from the napkin, and put the top one face down on the stationery file. Gently pour some water on the drawing, smoothing out all the folds.

We invite the hands with the file. We make sure that the napkin is firmly fixed on the surface, and then carefully remove the file from the bottle.

We dilute PVA glue with water in a ratio of one to one. This solution is applied to the entire surface with a pattern with a brush. Its movements should be from the center to the edges, we try to smooth out all the folds and drive out the bubbles.

After the glue has completely dried, we take fine sandpaper (preferably “nullivka”) and gently sanded the contours of the napkin. We also process those places where bumps formed.

Next, we take a sponge or a piece of foam, dip it in acrylic paint, “smack it” along the edges of the fragment of the picture. Thus, we try to mask the transition from wipes to the main surface of the bottle.

The work is almost complete, it remains only to add some "zest". For example, glue a ribbon on the neck. The easiest way to do this is with a glue gun. The braid not only completes the entire ensemble, but also closes the transition from paint to foil.

Plasticine mittens - winter crafts

What can be warmer and more pleasant than warm woolen mittens that warm your hands on a frosty day. If you make them yourself, for example, from plasticine, then this craft can rightly be considered winter. These mittens can catch a magical winter fairy tale, because they are made with love and will certainly come in handy as a gift made from the heart.

On the eve of the New Year usually make copies of Christmas trees, Santa Claus and Snow Maiden. The proposed mittens are unique, the craft is not like the others. And the more interesting it will be to do it together with the children, especially since it is very simple.

What you need to use for modeling mittens:

  • white and blue plasticine;
  • a small strip of lace to create a believable knitted texture;
  • a toothpick.

How to mold plasticine mittens
  White and blue kit - this is a very good option for sculpting the selected crafts. Mittens should be woolen, knitted, comfortable. They are indispensable in the cold season, when snowdrifts lie on the streets, the sun shines brightly, but does not warm. We always buy new accessories for ourselves and never go outside without taking this important thing.

First make soft spools to create the top of the craft. It is necessary to prepare 2 balls of different sizes. The larger one will be for the palm, the smaller for the thumb cell. Soften the plasticine in your hands and immediately proceed to the next step.

Press large and smaller white pieces to form flat cakes. Then squeeze slightly on one side from two sides, on the other - on the contrary, round and smooth with fingers. Hold the palm and thumb together. Smooth the joint. The body of the craft itself is ready. You should not stop at this stage either. You need to act quickly while the clay is still warm. Now we have to create a knitted texture.

Make the bottom part - blue cuffs for accessories. Pull two blue slices into flat cakes.

While the clay on the white part of the craft has not yet frozen, make a lace surface, or rather, imitate it, using a piece of lace. Press the lace to the soft plasticine and press with a slight pressure with your fingers on its surface. After you remove the fabric, a print will remain on the soft surface, which will be very similar to the desired texture.

Instead of lace, something knitted, for example, a napkin or even socks, is also suitable. Experiment and be surprised, because this is such an unusual way of applying a relief pattern on a plasticine surface.

Make both mittens textured. Against a blue background with a toothpick, also create a knitting effect by drawing small incisions.

Fasten the mittens to complete the planned craft.

An interesting winter option for children's creativity is very fast. In the process of work, children will learn not only how to create parts of different shapes and sizes from clay, but also how to create unusual relief patterns on a smooth surface. Now think about what else plasticine-knitted you can do. For example, simulate a hat or sweater in the same scenario.

New Year's deer from felt - DIY crafts

New Year's deer is a very common symbol of the upcoming holiday. A soft toy in the shape of this cute animal, made by yourself, can serve as an excellent decoration for the New Year tree, as well as a nice souvenir, given from the bottom of your heart.

The process of tailoring a deer is a very interesting occupation and, at the same time, quite simple, which even a primary school student can handle.

For work, we need the following materials:

  1. Felt medium density brown or gray;
  2. paper;
  3. pen or thin crayon;
  4. threads in tone of felt or contrasting color;
  5. sintepon or other filler;
  6. finished eyes or beads;
  7. sequins, beads or bead.

We draw a deer silhouette on paper or print out a finished template, cut it out.

Transfer the image to felt and carefully cut in duplicate.

We are preparing a decor that makes the deer more vibrant and festive. In our case, the decoration is a snowflake crocheted from the remnants of red threads. We collect 11 air loops and close them into a ring, then perform 14 sc (double crochet) inside the ring.

With the help of the CCH (double crochet) we knit the "flower", trying to distribute all the columns evenly.

In the arcs formed, between the scs we knit 5 scs, between which we make arches of 10 air. loops.

We tie the resulting element sbn, knitting a picot from 3 air. loops around the middle of the arch.

Iron the resulting snowflake with a hot iron, trying to give it the correct shape.

Sew a snowflake to one side of the deer. The middle of the snowflake can be decorated with sequins and beads or a button.

Glue the eyes.

We prepare a synthetic winterizer and sew the blanks, starting with the horns. It should be noted that it is not necessary to fill the toy with sintepon too tight, because of this the seams can turn out to be uneven.

New Year's souvenir is ready!

DIY New Year's Topiary

DIY candles - crafts for the New Year

Candles have always been an integral attribute of any holiday, romantic evening. After each celebration, you most likely throw out candle stains, which could be used. If you have accumulated candle cinders, you can make new candles with your own hands.

Necessary materials:

  • Old candles;
  • toothpicks
  • small sticks;
  • molds.

It is necessary to melt the wax so that it becomes completely liquid. To do this, put wax in molds in a water bath.

Cooking molds.

When the wax has already become liquid, pour it into the prepared molds.

As a wick, you can use cotton thread, or get out of old candles. So that it does not pop up, we take out the metal holder from the old candle and attach the wick.

Then immerse it in wax.

Put any stick up to fix the wick.

Leave the candles to dry for a day.

When the candles are dry, remove them from the molds. To do this, put them in boiling water for a few seconds.

To decorate the candles, I used a gold ribbon and a paper towel. After I wrapped the candles, they became more festive.

To decorate the candles in the glass, I used Christmas decorations for the Christmas tree, tying it to the glass.

In such a simple way, you can make Christmas candles with your own hands. You can experiment with different molds, or decorate the finished candles with coffee beans.

Step-by-step master class with photos of how to make it.

DIY Christmas composition with hats

Create a New Year's atmosphere in the house with a fun composition of miniature hats. This workshop is ideal for creative work with children.

Necessary materials:

  1. Multi-colored knitting threads;
  2. thin cardboard cylinder;
  3. white acrylic paint;
  4. dry branch without leaves;
  5. glass bottle of wine or champagne.

Let's make hats from threads. Take the cylinder out of cardboard and cut it into rings 1.5–2 cm wide. You can also make rings of thick paper yourself, fixing them with a stapler.

Cut 30 cm of thread and fold it in half. Such segments will need about 30-40 pieces, depending on the diameter of the ring.

Pass the thread folded in half into the paper ring. Pass its ends into the formed loop and tighten the formed knot.

In a similar way, tie the remaining threads on the ring. Try to place them close to each other, avoiding the formation of gaps.

When the ring is completely braided, thread the ends of the threads through it, as if turning inside out.

Tie the ends of the threads with an additional thread of the same color.

Trim the ends of the threads to form a neat pompom on the cap.

Spread the hat inside, making it more voluminous. Fluff the pompom.

Similarly, make hats of other colors.

Let's make a small winter composition. This will require a small dry branch, which can be found in the park.

Paint it with white paint, creating the effect of a snowy winter branch. Leave it to dry.

Take an empty glass bottle and evenly apply 2 layers of acrylic paint, taking care not to leave very noticeable brush strokes. Let it dry completely.

Putting the composition together. Put the branch in the bottle. Put caps on small twigs. You can decorate a branch with threads and beads.

Detailed workshops with step-by-step photographs are here.

Wreath for New Year and Christmas from willow twigs

The next master class is “DIY Christmas Wreath”.

For the manufacture of jewelry we take the following materials:

  • Willow twigs (medium thickness);
  • christmas tinsel;
  • bumps;
  • items for decorating cones (paints, sparkles, beads, rhinestones and so on);
  • glue moment, thin copper wire or kapron threads for attaching decorative elements.

Important! To the vine does not break, you need to weave immediately, as soon as broken. If the branches dry, nothing will work.

We proceed to the formation of the wreath.

We take several thin branches (long) at once and form a ring, intertwining them with each other.

If it does not immediately turn out to be in the correct form, do not get upset, with subsequent interweaving, the ring will align. Weave the vine is necessary, securing the end between the rods of the previous circle.

Thus, we continue to weave a wreath to the required size.

The basis for the holiday wreath is ready, now you can move on to the scenery.

We take tinsel and wrap the finished ring so that gaps are visible. At the bottom of the wreath we leave a little space for attaching decorative cones.

We turn to the decoration of cones. To do this, you can use everything that is enough for imagination (paints, rhinestones, beads, ribbons, sparkles and so on).

The output was such beautiful decorative cones.

To attach the cones to the wreath, you can use the glue moment, a thin copper wire or kapron thread. In my case the glue moment was applied.

That's all, the wreath for the festive decoration of the house is ready. A minimum of effort and time was spent, but a maximum of pleasure from spending time was received.

You can even attract the whole family. So everything will be much more interesting.

Christmas crafts - do-it-yourself boots

You can put a New Year's gift to a child in a valenok sewn by yourself.

You can hang such textile decor on a Christmas tree or door handle.

For work you will need:

  1. Tissue cut;
  2. edging for the top;
  3. decorative braid and beads for decoration.

If the fabric is thin, you can make the felt boots double - on the lining, it will look more voluminous and presentable.

Decide on the size of the boot. Reshoot a pattern of felt boots. It is as simple as possible, you can draw it yourself, leave a little space for the seam allowances.

Since, in this case, a raincoat fabric was chosen for the felt boot, the pattern was also transferred to the lining.

Fasten the fabric with pins, lay the stitch along the line, cut the workpiece.

At the fillet points, carefully make the notches with sharp scissors. Turn out the felt boot.

Felt or a thin strip of fur is suitable for edging. Here, the remnants of coats were used.

Decorate the boot with snowflakes or applique. Sew a loop so that the felt boots can be hung up. Make the buboes from a small piece of boucle, assembled and sewn in the form of a ball.

Such a boot can be useful not only as a package, but also as a decoration.

New Year's boot with a bunny

New Year's gifts for all children are most welcome. They write letters to Santa Claus, ask him to give them toys and sweets. Then they wait for the fulfillment of all desires. A kind wizard must respond to their requests. Under the Christmas tree on New Year's Eve, children find teddy bunnies and cubs, dolls and small dolls. And also a gift in the form of crafts can be made with your own hands from any materials available for children's creativity, for example, from plasticine.

This lesson shows the stages of performing plasticine crafts for the New Year in the form of a bright boot with a bow filled with gifts, the main one of which is a white bunny.

To sculpt a New Year's gift, prepare:

  • white, red, blue, black, green plasticine;
  • tool.

How to make a New Year's craft from plasticine

The plasticine set contains not just bars, but a whole treasure, toys, accessories, even gifts for the New Year. All products are easy to craft on their own, having at hand detailed instructions, which this detailed master class is. Imagine and enjoy the creative process.

To get started, take the red plasticine and carefully knead it in your hands. Form a boot from a soft mass. Pull the mass into a cylindrical part, then pull the resulting cylinder from one side, press down with your fingers at a right angle.

In the right places, simply smooth the surface of the boot, giving a plausible look. The basis of the crafts is ready. Of course, in fact, the part should be hollow inside, but we won’t cut a hole, and we’ll just put the bunny’s toy on top, or rather, make only its upper part.

To decorate your Christmas product, stretch a few threads of white, green, blue. Roll the soft mass with your fingers with light pressure, pressing it to a hard surface.

From a thin green sausage, make a leg trim for the boot. Use a blue sausage to model a bow - it will look very nice on a gift. Screw the white and red sausages into a flagellum. Press down over the entire surface. Trim the excess on both sides. Then bend so as to get the stick of Santa Claus.

Form blanks for the top of the bunny figure. In a plush toy, we show only the head with long ears, front legs. Use white clay to sculpt.

Stick white cheeks onto the ball-head, pierce them with a toothpick, showing hairiness. Attach the black eyes and nose. Give the rest of the white pieces the shape of the ears and paws.

Glue the details to the top of the red boot so that it seems that the bunny is sitting inside and just peeping out.

Add the decorative elements prepared earlier. Near the head of the bunny place a white-red stick. Add a bow to the top of the bootleg.

A unique plasticine gift, timed to the beloved holiday - New Year - is ready. Having made the same basis, you can put a bear or a gingerbread man in a boot. Any option would be welcome and so sweet.

You can connect children to the manufacture of the following crafts for the New Year. Such joint creativity will bring great joy to both children and parents. Indeed, for the winter holidays, I want to somehow especially decorate my house. No need to master complex needlework techniques, you can try to make something interesting out of ordinary white paper.

All of us in childhood learned to cut lace snowflakes from paper folded in several layers. But decorating your home with snowflakes is too commonplace and simple. Turn on the imagination, let the openwork weaving turn into dresses for graceful ballerinas soaring under the ceiling.

To work, you need such materials:

  • Sheets of white paper;
  • scissors;
  • pencil;
  • fishing line.

First, on paper draw in pencil the silhouettes of graceful ballerinas who raise their legs and put their hands to the sides. Or download ready-made ballerina templates. Cut their images along the contour. Then make the most delicate snowflakes so that they are lush and light.

The hole in the center try to cut out so that the ballerina can fit in it. Glue the snowflakes at the waist of the dancers.

Watch the video tutorial on how to make such a Christmas decoration - DIY ballerina snowflakes.

Volumetric Styrofoam Snowflakes

All the same openwork snowflakes made of paper are taken as the basis, the pattern is transferred, for example, to polystyrene foam or polystyrene. With the help of a sharp knife, all the necessary elements are cut out, and as a result, unusually beautiful, voluminous snowflakes are obtained.

Crafts can be made completely from any materials: from felt, paper, thread, cones, etc.

The most important and valuable things we create with our own hands and, of course, they are preserved as a memory. What is this child and you have done in different years. You can even build a chronology. And you can work hard once and save significantly on festive decor. Decorate the Christmas tree with homemade felt figures or balls of thread, fully creating a design option.

And how will your children remember the evenings before the holiday, which they spent in joint preparation and creation of masterpieces.

Knowing what mothers and fathers are busy right now, I picked up some quick, but beautiful options for crafts. Which show and not ashamed and easy to do.

Very easy to perform crafts. Another version of an interesting dog from pompons.

I propose to make a cute dachshund from paper and toilet paper sleeve.


We will need:

  • Brown and orange colored paper
  • 1 sleeve
  • Plasticine
  • Double sided tape

Cut a semicircle with a diameter of 8 centimeters and turn it into a cone. This will be the head of our dog.

Now cut out a rectangle of brown paper measuring 12 * 20 cm and glue the sleeve over it, bending the ends inward.

Now cut out of the orange paper 2 ears in the form of elongated ovals, a long tail and 4 strips, which we will fold in the form of paws. The size of the strips is 2 * 20 cm.


Glue the ears to the cone.

Glue the tail and paws to the sleeve.


We do the paws this way: we take a strip and wrap it around the finger or around the body of glue - a pencil, smearing the top layer with glue to fix the circle.

Now we attach the nose to the head from black plasticine, from the white and green we make eyes.

Glue the head on a double-sided tape to the body and that's it.

"Santa Claus shoe" do it yourself in kindergarten and school

Plastic bottles on the go! We make bells from them, or gift containers,.

And today you can quickly sew a presentable craft from improvised materials to a kindergarten or school.

Only fabric is better to take bright colors. And it will be faster if you use a glue gun.

We make Santa Claus shoe from a plastic bottle.


We will need:

  • Plastic bottle
  • Red cloth
  • Braid and decor
  • Cardboard sheet

We cut the bottle into three parts: we need a bottom and an elongated body. You can leave the neck of the bottle under the "Bell" crafts.

We measure the approximate length from the beginning of the bottom to the heel of the future shoe and cut out the base in the form of a foot from cardboard. You can circle the contours of the bottles right on the cardboard.

Cut out the sole and sheathe with a red cloth.

Measure the diameter of the bottom and cut out the same circle from the fabric with three cm allowances. The top must be sewn so that the fabric is assembled in shape.

Tighten the bottom of the fabric and sew to the sole.

Now we take a tube from the body of the bottle and also sheathe it or glue it with a cloth with hot glue (do not glue the seam at a distance of 3-4 cm from the bottom). You can use glue "Crystal". We also sew or glue the fitted part to the base - the sole.

It remains only to decorate all the seams and voids. To do this, use braid, cones, tinsel, Christmas tree branches.

Shoe heights may vary.

You can also not stick it inside, but collect it on top with a ribbon, like a bag for sweets.

How to make beautiful Christmas paper crafts

I propose to make not only paperwork, but a whole voluminous New Year's decor. Believe me, this is not difficult, as it might seem at first glance.

It is better to use a beautiful cardboard. You can buy it a little thicker than usual in a store for scrapbooking and needlework.

We will make a wonderful Christmas tree out of cardboard. But cardboard is needed double-sided.

Now draw the Christmas tree template.

1 side of the Christmas tree 7 cm.

5 sides of 6 cm, the edges coincide with the bottom of the first template.

Now we make three cuts to the middle of the Christmas tree: the distance between them is 0.5 - 1 cm. The average cut is one centimeter higher than the side ones.


The first template has cuts from the bottom.

Three have cuts at the top, two at the bottom.

We begin to thread the Christmas tree into each other.

1 template is the center. Get screwed alternately into each cut. First to the left, then the middle and so on until the Christmas tree is gathered.

Such a Christmas tree can be large or more voluminous and can be made of thicker cardboard or plywood, if you have a craftsman who can do any work and even cut and sand the workpiece for you.

Children's crafts for the New Year

New Year are symbols of figures of deer, Santa Claus and Snow Maiden, sleigh, gifts, Christmas trees and balls.

Therefore, you can quickly make a figure of Santa Claus using the origami technique.

A small child of four years old needs to be helped to make straight folds, otherwise the frost may not work, and the child will be upset. All of these, this technique perfectly improves fine motor skills and mastery of his hand.

We take a sheet of paper, it should be two-tone. The size of the square is 10 * 10 cm.


We point the diagonals on the square, turning the corner on one side and repeating the same on the other.


We work on the white side.

We wrap the upper corner to the center.


Now we turn the corner to the edge. Expand and see the lines.


Now wrap the bottom edge to this line and rotate.


Let's do it like that.


Wrap the lower part to the already wrapped edge and make a lapel back to the bottom point.


The lapel looks like this.


Now we turn the workpiece to the front side, we need to wrap the side part. Wrap a small strip on one side and the same on the other.


Now turn the side parts to the center line.


It remains to make a hand to Santa. Wrap protruding edges.


Turn diagonally.


Now, when you expand the figure, you will see that Santa Claus has already turned out. It remains to draw a nose and eyes.


The garland from such Morozikov will look very interesting.

You can, taking cotton pads, make voluminous crafts on cardboard. They are perfectly painted and glued with ordinary PVA glue, which. As we know, it is absolutely non-toxic.

Here's another idea, using cotton pads you can make a cute white bear.


Also look at how cute a lamb can be made from cotton buds, paper and a wooden clothespin.

Interesting crafts and create from sticks of ice cream. They can be asked at any supermarket, usually given to the popsicle.

A hot glue sticks together a snowflake. We paint it in the desired colors and hang our crafts on the wall or window.


You can sprinkle with sparkles or glossy varnish. You can also put a garland on it or glue another New Year's decor: light balls, braid, cones, twine or golden braid.

Another option snowflakes in the photo below.


And more options.


Another interesting version of the craft, which we also use for home decor, is hanging cardboard snowflakes.
