Little squirrel

Photos crafts I have very few of these two ages. They were made at different times.

It is very convenient for me to prepare for an illustration lesson. crafts and a short commentary describing the manufacturing technique (key trick)... Therefore, I supplemented this photo summary with such brief comments.

Craft on a paper plate.

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

I helped to glue the eyes, and the children coped with the rest themselves. Sequins-stars were then "planted" on white plasticine. Now I already know that a glue stick will cope with this task.

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

Very simple craft... But it looks great! Color and detail play a big role here. The red herringbone is a great stimulus for developing the flexibility of a child's thinking.

This snowman is within the power of any three-year-old child. We "planted" buttons on plasticine.

Penguins are made according to the instructions of Roni Oren, a famous author of books on modeling. Penguins look complicated, and the execution process is very fast.

More difficult level of the "plate". You can help with small details.

A very stylish postcard. The contour for gluing the rice is first outlined with glue and then sprinkled with rice thickly. We simply pour the excess cereal into a plate.

The stencil was cut out by the teacher, the children put it on a sheet of paper and draw on it with a foam sponge.

Two similar bears, the number of glued parts depends on the child's abilities.

Here is a small selection.

New Year is just around the corner, therefore, at least a month before the main night of the year, the whole country begins to live in anticipation of the holiday.

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

Garland of pasta bows

2

After dyeing, the pasta takes on new, fantastically shaped forms in which it is difficult to recognize the pasta. Today we will make a garland out of pasta, which is suitable for a Christmas tree, and for decorating any other items in the house.

Materials:

1. pasta "bows";
2. pVA glue;
3. acrylic or gouache paints;
4. brush for applying glue and paints;
5. loose sequins;
6. a beautiful cord - the color of your choice, depends on what color the whole garland will be.

Glitter pasta garland

Step 1:

First of all, take a small bowl into which you pour the glue and slightly dilute it with water until it becomes sour cream. If there is too much water, the pasta will begin to soak.

Step 2:

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

Step 3:

After the glitter is dry, take a soft brush and brush any excess glitter back into your plate.

Step 4:

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

1

Colored bows covered with sequins

The technique will be similar to the first idea, only with a slight difference - the pasta needs to be painted before pasting with sparkles. This means that you can use any color for coloring pasta - red, green, blue, purple, silver, gold. It is these colors that are most suitable for the New Year 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 over each bow, after which we quickly remove the pasta from the plate and put it on an oilcloth or film to dry. Leave the bows to dry for 20 minutes.

Step 3:

As time passes, you can start tying the bows to the garland.

With the help of such a simple method, you can decorate the whole house with unusual, unique garlands. Moreover, bows can be multi-colored, and if you think over a pattern, you can make several tiered garlands of bows. In short, you, your children and your guests will be satisfied.

Candlesticks from oranges

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

1

Materials:

1. depending on the number of candles, take the right amount of oranges, and another 2-3 pieces in reserve, in case one of the halves is damaged. Also see that the oranges are the same, as rounded as possible;
2. knife, tablespoon, cookie cutters of various shapes;
3. carnation - for decorating candlesticks;
4. candles-tablets.

Step 1:

First of all, mark the middle on all oranges;

Step 2:

Next, carefully cut the orange in the middle with a knife, without touching the pulp, only the peel. Then pry off the peel with a spoon from all sides. Do this as gently 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 form of stars, triangles and any other simple shapes, and most importantly - sizes that are suitable in size for the hole of the candlestick.

Cut holes on the tops of the candlestick, as mentioned above, and along the edge of these holes we can add some decor. Carnations are great for this purpose;

Step 4.

The next step is to assemble the candlestick. To do this, put a candle at the bottom of the orange halves, and then connect to the top. Such lovely balls come out.

Ready-made candlesticks. Surprisingly cute, isn't it?

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

Frozen fruits

Another beautiful and simple composition is frozen fruits. Surely, you have already met such in stores with decor, only made of plastic. We suggest that 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, tray. Candlesticks can be made from apples by simply cutting out the top from them to match the diameter of the candle. Green leaves are also good in such "frosty" compositions;
2. egg white;
3. powdered sugar.

Step 1.

Rinse the fruit, then dry it thoroughly from moisture;

Step 2.

Protein with 2 tablespoons beat the icing sugar with a whisk or mixer, but not until frothy. Powdered sugar will give the protein a sticky, sticky structure, due to which it will glaze well on fruits;

Step 3.

Using a soft brush, dab the egg white onto the fruit and immediately sprinkle with 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 very “frozen fruits”, in which the fruits themselves are almost invisible. And notice how good such a 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 everyone will find something for themselves. We wish you creative success.

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

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

We decided to make such a fabulous house with our own hands today. Join, because the fairy tale has already begun!

For the walls, we'll use a rectangular piece from a cardboard box. Cut a hole for the window, and mark the place for the door. We will strengthen the walls with "wild stone". Take pieces of eggshell and glue it with PVA glue.

To make the look of our masonry more realistic, we need to simulate traces of cement mortar in the seams. And the shells will hold on tight this way. We will glue the walls with plain gray toilet paper. When it dries up, clean off the excess, exposing the protruding parts of our "stones".

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

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

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

Now we will put the roof in place and paint the facade of the house. We will do it with ordinary gouache. While acrylic will be better, it doesn't need to be varnished.

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

We wanted to decorate the “courtyard”. Snow is cotton wool, and a snowman is made of it. The Christmas tree is that "peeled" cone, painted green. It is not necessary to do this, maybe your elf will live in a hanging house. Then only the bottom and the loop will come in handy.

We made such a fabulous 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 houses have already been invented for him, 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. Do you want to surprise your loved ones? Decoupage your champagne bottle. Such a New Year's craft will not go unnoticed.

For decoration you will need:

• Champagne bottle;
• three-layer napkin with a New Year's motive;
• pVA glue;
• acrylic paint;
• decoration.

First of all, you need to clean the bottle of stickers. To do this, put 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 layer can be applied with a brush. After drying, paint the bottle a second time, but use a piece of sponge ("smack").

In literally 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 tear out the selected fragment of the picture from it.

We remove the two bottom layers from the napkin, and put the top one face down on a stationery file. Gently add some water to the drawing, straightening all the folds.

Smoothing the file with our hands. 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 one-to-one ratio. 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 wrinkles and expel the bubbles.

After the glue has completely dried, we take finely dispersed sandpaper (preferably "zero") and carefully sand the contours of the napkin. We also process those places where irregularities have formed.

Next, we take a sponge or a piece of foam rubber, dip it in acrylic paint, "smack it" around the edges of the picture fragment. Thus, we try to mask the transition from the napkin to the main surface of the bottle.

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

DIY Christmas snowflake

New Year's holidays are approaching and the motives of the New Year and Christmas are increasingly heard in our work. I propose to knit a small snowflake, which can be used to decorate children's mittens and a hat, and by attaching a loop to the snowflake, you can hang it on the Christmas tree. This snowflake is knitted very quickly and easily. Even a beginner knitter can handle this job.

Materials and tools:

For knitting we used Karachai acrylic yarn of white or blue color. I took this yarn so that the loops were better visible. For such yarn, hook number 3 is suitable.

You can use thinner yarn, then the snowflake will be even smaller.

Abbreviations used in the text:

VP - air loop;

CC2N - a column with two crochets.

We will perform the entire drawing in one row. Let's start with a set of four air loops. 4 VP will be closed in a ring with a connecting loop. Next, we type 3 VP.

We knit 1 CC2H into the ring.

We knit a chain of 4 VP.

And we close the chain of 4 VPs with a connecting loop at the beginning of the chain. We collect 5 VP and close at the same point. Then 4 VP and a connecting loop to the same point. We knit 4 VPs to go to the next ray of the snowflake.

We knit 2 CC2H with a common vertex: On the hook, one loop from the last VP of a chain of 4 VPs, one more loop remains from each unconnected CC2H.

We knit three loops on the hook in one step.

We close the chains of 4, 5, 4 VP with a connecting loop to the common top of the posts with two crochets. After each ray we knit a chain of 4 VP. We complete the motif with a connecting loop in the first ray. Cut and fasten the thread.

If you want to use a snowflake as a Christmas tree decoration, 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 keep your hands warm on a frosty day. If you make them yourself, for example, from plasticine, then such a craft can rightfully be considered a winter one. You can catch a magical winter fairy tale with such mittens, 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, Santa Claus and Snow Maiden are usually made. The proposed mittens are unique, the craft is not like others. And the more interesting it will be to do it together with the children, especially since it is quite simple.

What you need to use for sculpting mittens:

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

How to mold plasticine mittens
The white and blue kit is a very good option for sculpting the chosen craft. Mittens should be woolen, knitted, comfortable. 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 ourselves new accessories and never go out without grabbing this important thing.

First, make soft rolls 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 one for the thumb compartment. Soften the plasticine in your hands and go straight to the next step.

Press down large 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. Bind your palm and thumb together. Smooth out the joint. The body of the craft itself is ready. It is also not worth stopping at this stage. You need to act quickly while the plasticine is still warm. Now we have to create a knitted texture.

Make the bottom - blue cuffs for accessories. Pull out two blue pieces into flat cakes.

While the plasticine on the white part of the craft has not yet frozen, make a lace surface, more precisely, an imitation of it, using a piece of lace. Press the lace against the soft plasticine and press with light pressure on the surface with your fingers. 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 will also work, such as a napkin or even socks. 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 knit effect, drawing small notches.

Tie the mittens together to complete the planned craft.

An interesting winter version for children's creativity is performed 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 patterns on a smooth surface. Now think about what else you can do with knitted plasticine. For example, simulate a hat or sweater in the same scenario.

New Year's deer made of felt - DIY crafts

The New Year's deer is a very common symbol of the upcoming holiday. A handmade soft toy in the shape of this cute animal can serve as an excellent decoration for a New Year tree, or as 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 cope with.

For work we need the following materials:

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

We draw a silhouette of a deer on paper or print a ready-made template, cut it out.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

We glue the eyes.

We prepare the synthetic winterizer and sew the blanks, starting with the horns. It should be noted that it is not necessary to stuff the toy with padding polyester too tightly, as this may cause the seams 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 essential attribute of any holiday, romantic evening. After each celebration, you most likely throw away candle stubs that could be used. If you have accumulated candle ends, you can make new candles with your own hands.

Necessary materials:

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

You need to melt the wax to make it completely liquid. To do this, put wax in molds in a water bath.

Cooking molds.

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

You can use cotton thread as a wick, or get it from old candles. So that it does not float up, remove the 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.

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

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

In this simple way, you can make your own Christmas candles. You can experiment with different molds, or decorate ready-made candles with coffee beans.

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

DIY Christmas composition with hats

Create a New Year's atmosphere in your home with a fun composition of miniature hats. This master class is ideal for creative activities with children.

Necessary materials:

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

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

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

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

Tie the rest of the threads on the ring in the same way. Try to place them close to each other, avoiding 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 with an additional thread of the same color.

Cut off the ends of the threads, forming a neat pompom on the cap.

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

Make hats of other colors in the same way.

Let's make a small winter composition. This requires a small dry branch that can be found in the park.

Paint it white to create the effect of a snow-covered winter branch. Leave it to dry.

Take an empty glass bottle and apply 2 coats of acrylic paint evenly, being careful not to leave overly visible brush strokes. Let it dry completely.

Putting the composition together. Place the branch in the bottle. Put hats on small branches. You can decorate the branch with threads and beads.

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);
• new Year's tinsel;
• cones;
• items for decorating cones (paints, sequins, beads, rhinestones, and so on);
• glue moment, thin copper wire or nylon threads for attaching decorative elements.

Important! To prevent the vine from breaking, you need to weave as soon as it is broken. If the branches dry out, nothing will work.

Let's start forming a wreath.

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

If it does not immediately turn out to be the correct shape, do not be upset, with subsequent interweaving the ring will align. It is necessary to weave the vine, securing the end between the twigs of the previous circle.

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

The basis for the festive wreath is ready, now you can proceed 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 that your imagination is enough for (paints, rhinestones, beads, ribbons, sparkles, and so on).

The output is such beautiful decorative cones.

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

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

You can even involve the whole family. So everything will go much more interesting.

Christmas crafts - do-it-yourself boots

You can put a New Year's gift for your child in a handmade felt boot.

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

For work you will need:

1. A piece of fabric;
2. piping for the top;
3. decorative braid and beads for decoration.

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

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

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

Secure the fabric with pins, stitch along the line, cut out the workpiece.

In places of fillets, carefully make notches with sharp scissors. Turn out the felt boot.

For edging, felt or a thin strip of fur will do. Remnants of coat fabric were used here.

Decorate the boot with snowflakes or applique. Sew on an eyelet so that the felt boot can be hung. Make buboes from a small piece of boucle, assembled and sewn into a ball.

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

New Year's boot with a bunny

New Year's gifts for all children are the most desirable. They write letters to Santa Claus, asking him to give them toys and sweets. Then they expect all desires to be fulfilled. A kind wizard always responds to their requests. Under the Christmas tree on New Year's Eve, children find plush bunnies and teddy bears, dolls and baby 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 making a plasticine craft for the New Year in the form of a bright boot with a bow, filled with gifts, the main 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 make on your own, with detailed instructions at hand, which is this detailed master class. Imagine and enjoy the creative process.

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

In the right places, simply smooth out the surface of the boot, giving a believable look. The basis of the craft is ready. Of course, in fact, the part should be hollow inside, but we will not cut a hole, but we will simply plant the bunny toy on top, more precisely, we will only make its upper part.

To decorate your Christmas product, draw out several strands of white, green, blue. Roll out the soft mass with your fingers using light pressure, pressing against a hard surface.

From a thin green sausage, make a piping for the boot shaft. Use a blue sausage to model a bow - it will look very beautiful on a gift. Twist the white and red sausages into a flagellum. Press down over the entire surface. Trim off the excess on both sides. Then bend it so that you get Santa Claus's road.

Form the blanks for the upper part of the bunny figurine. For the plush toy, we will show only the head with long ears and front legs. Use white plasticine for sculpting.

Glue white cheeks on 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 feet.

Glue the details to the top of the red boot so that you get the impression that the bunny is sitting inside and just peeking out.

Add the decorative elements prepared earlier. Place a white and red plant near the bunny's head. Add a bow to the top of the bootleg.

A unique plasticine gift dedicated to your favorite holiday - New Year - is ready. Having made the same base, you can put a bear or gingerbread man in a boot. Any option will be welcome and so cute.

Children can also be involved in making 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 home. You do not need to master complex needlework techniques, you can try to make something interesting out of plain 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 trivial and simple. Turn your imagination on, let the delicate weaving turn into dresses for graceful ballerinas soaring from the ceiling.

For work, you will need the following materials:

• Sheets of white paper;
