I myself feel very comfortable preparing for an illustration class. crafts and a brief commentary describing the manufacturing technique (key technique). Therefore, I supplemented this photo summary with such brief comments.

Craft on a paper plate.

All the details are glued on by the children themselves. The sequins fit well on the glue stick.

I helped glue on the eyes, and the children did the rest themselves. Star sequins were then “set” on white plasticine. Now I already know that a glue stick will cope with this task.

Snow on a postcard - plasticine. All the parts are glued on by the children; the children make the drawn parts themselves or with the help of an adult. It depends on their level of development.

At your discretion, we offer three options that we are sure everyone will like.

Garland of pasta bows

2

After coloring, the pasta takes on new, fantastic shapes in which it is difficult to recognize the pasta product. Today we will make a garland from pasta, which will be suitable for the Christmas tree and for decorating any other items in the house.

Materials:

1. bow pasta;
2. PVA glue;
3. acrylic or gouache paints;
4. brush for applying glue and paints;
5. loose glitter;
6. a beautiful string of thread - the color is at your discretion, depending on what color the whole garland will be.

Pasta garland with glitter

Step 1:

First of all, take a small bowl into which you pour glue and slightly dilute it with water until it becomes creamy. If there is too much water, the pasta will start to get soggy.

Step 2:

Next, take a brush and apply glue over the entire surface of the bows. Immediately after application, we get to work with glitter. To do this, you can pour glitter into a container, then dip the bows entirely into the glitter.

Step 3:

Once the glitter has dried, take a soft brush and brush any excess glitter back into the plate.

Step 4:

After all the bows have dried and the excess glitter has been removed, we can proceed to the most important thing - creating a garland. To do this, take a piece of thread at the same distance, about 10cm. from each other, tie bows to a thread. Be careful, as all metallized threads tend to unravel, so tie the bows with double knots.

1

Colored bows covered with glitter

The technique will be similar to the first idea, only with a slight difference - before pasting the pasta with glitter, you need to paint it. This means you can use any colors to color the pasta - red, green, blue, purple, silver, gold. These are the colors that best suit the New Year's theme.

Step 1:

Take gouache paints and dilute them with water and PVA glue in a bowl in a ratio of 5:2:1.

Step 2:

Then we put the pasta in a bowl and carefully paint each bow, after which we quickly remove the pasta from the plate and place it on oilcloth or film to dry. Leave the bows to dry for 20 minutes.

Step 3:

After time has passed, you can begin tying bows to the garland.

With the help of this simple way you can decorate your entire home with unusual, unique garlands. Moreover, bows can be multi-colored, and if you think through the pattern, you can make several tiered garlands of bows. In a word, you, your children, and your guests will be happy.

Orange candlesticks

A fresh look at everyday things. An orange peel candle holder is something new and unexpected. What was previously sent to the bucket will become a real decoration festive table. Making such candlesticks with your own hands is incredibly simple, and you will find out exactly how below.

1

Materials:

1. depending on the number of candlesticks, take the required number of oranges, and another 2-3 pieces in reserve, in case one of the halves is damaged. Also make sure that the oranges are the same, as round as possible;
2. knife, tablespoon, cookie cutters different shapes;
3. cloves - for decorating candlesticks;
4. candle tablets.

Step 1:

First of all, mark the middle of all the oranges;

Step 2:

Next, carefully cut the orange in the middle with a knife, without touching the pulp, only the peel. Then use a spoon to pry off the peel from all sides. Do this as carefully as possible so as not to tear the peel. We do this with all oranges;

1

Step 3:

When the halves are ready, we can start decorating them. To do this, we take cookie cutters, for example, in the shape of stars, triangles and any other simple shapes, and most importantly - sizes that fit the hole of the candlestick.

We cut out holes on the tops of the candlestick, as mentioned above, and along the edge of these holes we can add a little decor. Cloves are perfect for this purpose;

Step 4.

The next step is to assemble the candlestick. To do this, place a candle at the bottom of half an orange, and then connect it to the top. These are the cute little balls that come out.

Candlesticks in finished form. Surprisingly cute, isn't it?

If you have time and desire. In addition to carnation sticks, you can use other decorations, such as sparkles, paints, stickers, and contour glitters.

Frozen fruit

Another beautiful and easy-to-make composition is frozen fruit. You've probably already seen these in decorative stores, only made of plastic. We suggest you make such fruits yourself.

Materials:

1. set of fruits. Think over a composition of berries and fruits that will look beautiful together on a platter, plate, or tray. You can make candlesticks from apples by simply cutting out the top to fit the diameter of the candle. Green leaves are also good in such “frosty” compositions;
2. egg white;
3. powdered sugar.

Step 1.

Rinse the fruits, then dry them thoroughly from moisture;

Step 2.

Protein with 2 tbsp. beat the powdered sugar with a whisk or mixer, but not until foamy. Powdered sugar will give the protein a sticky, adhesive structure, making it good for glazing on fruit;

Step 3.

Using a soft brush, apply the white to the fruit and immediately sprinkle powdered sugar on top. Determine the required amount yourself, depending on the desired layer of glaze. You can repeat this procedure several times.

The photo below shows the effect of heavily “frozen fruit”, in which the fruit itself is almost invisible. And notice how good this composition looks together with spruce branches and cones.

Today we showed you 3 simple and quick master classes on creating small crafts for home decor on the eve of the New Year. We hope that you will like our ideas and that everyone will find something for themselves. We wish you creative success.

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

For some, the nutcracker defeats the king of mice, for others, snowflakes dance in circles. We decided to compose a fairy tale about a Christmas tree elf. It will constantly change, acquire new plots, be supplemented with characters and, most likely, will be different every year. Only the beginning of our fairy tale will always be the same: - Once upon a time, in his cozy house, among the fluffy fir branches, there lived a little Christmas tree elf...

Like this fairytale house We decided to make it with our own hands today. Join us, because the fairy tale is already beginning!

For the walls we will take a rectangular piece from cardboard box. Let's cut a hole for the window and mark a place for the door. We will strengthen the walls with “wild stone”. Let's take the pieces eggshells and glue it with PVA glue.

To make the appearance of our masonry more realistic, we need to imitate traces of cement mortar in the seams. And the shells will hold on tighter this way. We will cover the walls with regular gray toilet paper. When it dries, we clean off the excess, exposing the protruding parts of our “stones”.

When the scales of the cones stick well, we will attach a pipe, because there will probably be a fireplace or stove in the house so that our elf can live warm and can cook magic potions or porridge.

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

To make it even more important, we will make a ladder for the roof. She's from the same toilet paper, twisted into flagella. Yes, we almost forgot about the frame for the window, let's cut it out of cardboard.

Now let's put the roof in place and paint the facade of the house. We will do this with regular gouache. Although acrylic will be better, it does not need to be varnished.

All that remains is to glue the finished fairytale house onto the base. Since we planned that our elf will have light in the window, we will cut a hole in the base for the LED.

We wanted to decorate the “yard”. Snow is cotton wool, and a snowman is made of it. A Christmas tree is that “torn off” cone, painted in green color. This is not necessary; perhaps your elf will live in a hanging house. Then only the bottom and the loop will be useful.

We made such a fairy-tale house with our own hands in just one evening, and the little Christmas tree elf has already begun to live his own life. A bathhouse, a cellar, and even neighbors with their own houses have already been invented for him, this is a hedgehog and a squirrel.

Decoupage - decorating a bottle of champagne for the New Year

A gift made with your own hands is always original and unique. Do you want to surprise your loved ones? Decoupage a bottle of champagne. This New Year's craft will not go unnoticed.

For decoration you will need:

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

First of all, you need to clean the bottle from stickers. To do this, put it in a container of warm water and leave it for a while.

Cover the entire open surface of the bottle with acrylic paint. The first layer can be applied with a brush. After drying, we paint the bottle a second time, but use a piece of sponge (“smack it”).

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

We remove the two bottom layers from the napkin, and place the top one face down on a stationery file. Carefully pour some water over the drawing, straightening out all the wrinkles.

We smooth the file with our hands. We make sure that the napkin is securely 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. Apply this solution to the entire surface with the pattern using a brush. Its movements should be from the center to the edges, we try to smooth out all the wrinkles and expel the bubbles.

After the glue has completely dried, take a fine sandpaper(preferably “zero”) and carefully sand the contours of the napkin. We also process those places where unevenness has formed.

Next, take a sponge or a piece of foam rubber, dip it in acrylic paint, and “smack” it along the edges of the pattern fragment. In this way we try to disguise the transition from the napkin to the main surface of the bottle.

The work is almost complete, all that remains is to add some “zest”. For example, glue a ribbon to the neck. The easiest way to do this is with a glue gun. The braid will not only complete the entire ensemble, but will also close the transition from paint to foil.

DIY New Year's snowflake

Approaching new year holidays and New Year and Christmas motifs are increasingly heard in our work. I suggest knitting a small snowflake that can be used to decorate children’s mittens and hats, and by attaching a loop to the snowflake, you can hang it on Christmas tree. This snowflake is knitted very quickly and easily. Even a novice knitter can handle this job.

Materials and tools:

Karachay acrylic yarn of white or blue color is used for knitting. I took this yarn so that the loops could be seen better. Hook number 3 is suitable for this yarn.

Can be used more fine yarn, then the snowflake will be even smaller.

Abbreviations used in the text:

VP - air loop;

СС2Н - double crochet stitch.

We will complete the entire drawing in one row. Let's start by casting on four chain stitches. We close 4 VPs into a ring with a connecting loop. Next, we collect 3 VP.

We knit 1 CC2H into a ring.

We knit a chain of 4 VPs.

And we close the chain of 4 VPs with a connecting loop to the beginning of the chain. We dial 5 VP and close to the same point. Next 4 VP and connecting loop to the same point. We knit 4 VP to move to the next ray of the snowflake.

We knit 2 CC2H with a common top: On the hook there is one loop from the last VP of the chain of 4 VP, one more loop remains from each unknitted CC2H.

We knit three loops on the hook in one step.

We close the chains of 4, 5, 4 VPs with a connecting loop into the common top of double crochets. After each ray we knit a chain of 4 VPs. We complete the motif with a connecting loop in the first ray. We cut the thread and fasten it.

If you want to use a snowflake as Christmas tree toy, you will need to knit a loop and starch the product.

The snowflake is ready! The master class was prepared by Svetlana Chalkina.

Plasticine mittens - winter craft

What could be warmer and more pleasant than warm woolen mittens that warm your hands on a frosty day. If you make them with your own hands, for example, from plasticine, then such a craft can rightfully be considered a winter craft. With these mittens you can catch the magic winter's tale, because they are made with love and will definitely come in handy as a gift made from the heart.

On the eve of the New Year, copies of Christmas trees, Father Frost and Snow Maiden are usually made. The mittens offered are unique, the craft is not similar to others. And it will be all the more interesting to make it with children, especially since it is so simple.

What you need to use to sculpt mittens:

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

How to make mittens from plasticine
The white and blue set is very good option for sculpting the selected craft. Mittens should be woolen, knitted, cozy. They are indispensable in the cold season, when there are snowdrifts on the streets, the sun shines brightly, but does not warm. We definitely buy new accessories for ourselves and never go out without taking this important thing.

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

Press down the larger and smaller white pieces to form flat cakes. Then, on one side, lightly squeeze on both sides, on the other, on the contrary, round and smooth with your fingers. Clasp your palm and thumb. Smooth out the joint. The body of the craft itself is ready. You shouldn't stop at this stage either. You need to act quickly while the plasticine is still warm. Now we need to create a knitted texture.

Do bottom part– blue cuffs for accessories. Pull two blue pieces into flat cakes.

While the plasticine on the white part of the craft has not yet hardened, make a lace surface, or rather, an imitation of it, using a piece of lace. Press the lace onto the soft plasticine and apply slight pressure with your fingers onto its surface. After you remove the fabric, an imprint will remain on the soft surface that will be very similar to the desired texture.

Instead of lace, something knitted, such as a napkin or even socks, will also work. Experiment and be surprised, because this is such an unusual way of applying a relief pattern to a plasticine surface.

Make both mittens textured. On a blue background, use a toothpick to also create a knitting effect by drawing small notches.

Pin the mittens together to complete your craft project.

An interesting winter option for children's creativity runs very quickly. In the process of work, children will learn not only to create parts of different shapes and sizes from plasticine, but also to create unusual relief designs on a smooth surface. Now think about what other plasticine-knitted items you can make. For example, model a hat or sweater using the same scenario.

New Year's deer made of felt - DIY craft

New Year's deer is a very common symbol of the upcoming holiday. Soft toy in the form of this cute animal, made with your own hands, can serve as both an excellent decoration for the New Year tree and a pleasant souvenir given from the bottom of your heart.

The process of sewing a deer is a very exciting activity and, at the same time, quite simple, which even a primary school student can handle.

For work we will need the following materials:

1. Medium density felt, brown or gray;
2. paper;
3. pen or thin chalk;
4. threads to match the felt or in a contrasting color;
5. padding polyester or other filler;
6. ready-made eyes or beads;
7. sequins, beads or beads.

Draw the silhouette of a deer on paper or print out a ready-made template and cut it out.

We transfer the image onto felt and carefully cut it out in duplicate.

We are preparing decor that will make the deer brighter and more festive. In our case, the decoration is a snowflake, crocheted from the remains of red threads. We cast on 11 air loops and close them into a ring, then perform 14 sc (single crochet) inside the ring.

Using a double crochet (dc), we knit a “flower”, trying to distribute all the stitches evenly.

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

We tie the resulting element sc, knitting a picot from 3 air. loops approximately in 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 on the eyes.

We prepare the padding polyester and sew the blanks together, starting with the horns. It should be noted that there is no need to stuff the toy with padding polyester too tightly, as this may cause the seams to become uneven.

New Year's souvenir is ready!

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 away candle stubs that could have been put to good use. If you have accumulated candle stubs, you can make new candles with your own hands.

Necessary materials:

• Old candles;

You need to melt the wax until it becomes completely liquid. To do this, place the wax in molds in a water bath.

Preparing the molds.

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

You can use a cotton thread as a wick, or take it from old candles. To prevent it from floating, we take a metal holder from the old candle and attach the wick.

Then we immerse it in wax.

Place any stick on top to secure the wick.

Let the candles 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 gold ribbon and paper napkin. After I wrapped the candles, they became more festive.

To decorate the candle in the glass, I used a Christmas tree decoration, tying it to the glass.

So in a simple way You can make New Year's candles with your own hands. You can experiment with different molds, or decorate finished candles with coffee beans.

1. Multi-colored knitting threads;
2. a cylinder made of thin cardboard;
3. white acrylic paint;

Cut 30 cm of thread and fold it in half. You will need approximately 30–40 such pieces, depending on the diameter of the ring.

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

Tie the remaining threads on the ring in the same way. 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 it inside out.

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

Trim the ends of the threads, forming a neat pompom on the hat.

Straighten the cap from the inside, making it more voluminous. Fluff the pompom.

Make hats in other colors in the same way.

• New Year's tinsel;
• cones;
• items for decorating cones (paints, glitter, beads, rhinestones, etc.);
• moment glue, thin copper wire or nylon threads for attaching decorative elements.

Let's start forming the wreath.

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

If it doesn't work out right away correct form, don’t be upset, with subsequent weaving the ring will even out. It is necessary to weave the vine by securing the end between the rods of the previous circle.

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

The base for the festive wreath is ready, now you can move on to the decoration.

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

Let's move on to decorating the cones. To do this, you can use everything you have enough imagination for (paints, rhinestones, beads, ribbons, glitter, and so on).
