Paper cutting of Santa Claus. DIY paper Santa Claus. New Year's craft with children. Simple paper crafts

Let's see what ways you can create unique New Year's crafts for a competition for school or kindergarten in the form of Santa Claus. I will also show you how to beautifully decorate gifts for the New Year with the symbol of Santa Claus. Let's start with gifts...

Santa Claus on a gift

How to do it yourself.

(simple options).

Here in the photo below we see an excellent New Year's decorations the most ordinary gift packages made of gray wrapping paper.

For the first idea you will need:

a round shape made of white cardboard, a piece of red cardboard,
red pompom (or regular cotton wool + PVA glue + red gouache)
a piece of white foam packaging interlayer (which is often placed in boots in the store, or in boxes with equipment). Or (if you don’t have such material) you can take white cardboard and cover it with cotton pads.)

On a white round cardboard eye shadow or blush Draw spots on the cheeks and black beady eyes with a marker. In a bowl, stir red gouache and PVA glue (a couple of drops of paint per teaspoon of glue); dip a piece of cotton wool into this mixture. We form a ball from this sticky red cotton wool with our hands and dry it on a radiator (it will dry overnight).

Cut out a triangle-cap from red cardboard. We glue it to the edge of the white round piece (Santa Claus's forehead) - it is better to glue it dry, that is, use a glue stick or double-sided tape, since wet PVA glue will wet the cardboard and make it bend.

On top of the connecting line (between the hat and the head) we lay a “fur edging”, as I already said, it is better to cut it out of foam packaging material. Or cover the cardboard with cotton pads and cut out the edging of Santa Claus’s hat from such “cotton-shaggy paper”

And here two more ideas craft pendants in the form of Santa Claus - already from just cardboard... and cardboard with paper cupcake tins.

Here are the large bags with large size Santa Claus.

You can even make a bag yourself from a sheet gift paper. The template here is very simple. You can make such a drawing yourself with a pencil, cut it out, bend it along the fold lines and you’re done. A beautiful box - glue the face and beard of Santa Claus to it and you're done.

You can make your own from cardboard (or from soft felt, or formiam as in the photo below) make PACKAGING POCKETS for gifts, decorated with an applique of Santa Claus on top.

Here is a diagram of such a pocket made of colored paper or cardboard. We bend along the lines, glue the sides and the container for sweets and chocolates is ready.

All that remains is to glue on top the head of Santa Claus with a beard and a hat. Simple and fast, no complexity. You will love making these quick pocket crafts with your own hands with Santa Claus, a snowman, angels and other New Year's characters.

Here is a pocket package made of soft felt or fleece, which is suitable for gifting a smart phone, or jewelry. It will be nice to receive such a gift, decorated manual labor and the imagination of the donor.

Santa Claus WITH CANDY
(just do it yourself).

Here's another new craft for this year. Santa Claus hides a candy in a bright wrapper in his tummy. A simple children's craft that you will quickly understand and can do with your own hands in one sitting.

As you can see (in the photo below) there is nothing complicated or tricky here. It’s just that the tummy and back of Santa Claus are a FULL DETAIL - in shape it looks like a FIG. which has a hole only in the upper turn of the digit.

This “figure eight” is bent in half - and we get a tummy with a hole in the center in the front and a closed back at the back. At the top we fix our halves with a drop of glue, or a stapler or tape. And all that remains is for our Santa Claus to glue on the head with a beard and the legs-stand.

Santa Claus do it yourself

Craft using the spider web technique.

There is an article on our website where I show in great detail how to make these balls with your own hands from glue threads and a small balloon. In this article “Balls of thread and a sea of crafts using the spider web technique,” I posted a master class. Therefore, I will not explain in detail here, so as not to waste unnecessary words. Follow the link, everything is explained there.

Just look at the photo below and fall in love with these cute New Year characters made from yarn balls. Simple and fast. In one evening we make balls, in the second evening we cover them with pieces of colored paper - and the craft is ready and worthy of going to the New Year's exhibition to school or kindergarten.

You don’t have to cover the balls with paper parts, but just put a cap like this on the top ball - where a face with a mustache and beard is already glued to the cone-hat.

In general, such cardboard caps (from the photo above) can be put on ordinary white inflatable balloons. And you’ll get a quick craft for the New Year in the form of Santa Claus. Such quick crafts comfortable . (By the way, the link contains a lot of quick ideas for crafts for decorating a New Year’s office).

DIY Santa Claus.

Balloon craft

using papier-mâché technique.

You can make such a pot-bellied, big-nosed, sweet and charming Santa Claus from the cheapest materials. PVA glue + white paper napkins + balloon IR + gouache for coloring.

What is the secret of the SIMPLICITY of this Santa Claus craft.

The papier-mâché technique is very simple. If you mix a paper napkin with PVA glue and mold something out of this mixture and dry it, we will get a dense, almost wooden, hard craft.

This principle of creating a durable material from fragile paper and liquid glue became the basis of the Papier-mâché technique.

Instead of white paper napkins, you can use regular NEWSPAPER. But then you will need to paint it on top with white paint (acrylic or gouache) before drawing Santa Claus on it.

What do we do.

Step 1 Let's buy a balloon with an elongated tail (that is, pear-shaped). Let's inflate it so that it retains its slightly elongated pear-shaped shape. Turn the ball upside down and insert it inside the vase (to make it easier to work with). You can even tape it a little to this vase so that it doesn’t jump out of it.

Step 2 Tear the white napkins into shreds (or leave them whole, whichever is more convenient for you). We coat part of the ball with PVA glue and place a white napkin on this puddle. On top of the napkin, again apply PVA glue with a wide brush and again place the napkin on this wet place. Thus, we glue the entire ball in several layers - generously pouring glue and generously laying down layers of napkin. Let it all dry (overnight).

Note – you can cover the ball with newspaper, dry it and paint it white. Or start the first layers from newspaper. And the last upper layers should be made from a white napkin, then there will be no need to paint it white.

Step 3. We crumple the napkins into large lumps - these will be tozhki. We also pour glue over it, and we also cover it with napkins, forming a wet crust of papier mache. We also leave it to dry.

Step 4. We take the ball out of the vase-pot on which it stood. We turn it with its tail up (we will cover this empty space that was in the vase with Santa Claus’s hat, it will not be visible. Using a marker on the dry round paper surface of the ball, we draw the silhouette borders of all the elements of Santa Claus - a face with a nose, a beard, a fur coat. We decorate this with gouache round decoration. Don't forget to glue the legs.

Note. For papier mache you need a lot of PVA glue. If you buy it in the stationery department (where the glue is in small tube jars) you will overpay 5 times the price. Better and It’s cheaper to buy PVA glue in liter buckets in the construction departments of the store. For one liter of glue you will pay about 2 dollars. And such a bucket will be enough for you for a whole bunch of crafts. Any PVA glue labeled “universal” or “construction” will suit you. In composition, it is no different from ordinary school stationery PVA glue. The manufacturer can be any company. With this bucket you will not only make Santa Claus from papier-mâché, but also a snowman and a penguin (also based on balloon). Details in other articles on this site.

By the way, based on a BALLOON you can make the most various crafts with Santa Claus. You can decorate a ball covered with newspaper with strips of colored fringe. We buy rolls of crepe colored paper from the stationery store. cut it into strips, cut them into fringe, paste the BALL IN A CIRCLE with fringed stripes. It turns out another version of the Santa Claus craft with your own hands - mischievous and shaggy.

Or you can decorate a balloon covered with newspaper with a FLEECE WRAP - the soft material will make a very cozy and warm craft.

Making our own Santa Claus

from stones and natural materials.

Ordinary stones - small or large river cobblestones can become the basis on which a New Year's fairy tale will grow.

You can simply find oval stable stones (or make them stable using play dough). Cover the stones with white gouache (spray with hairspray to fix the color and prevent it from staining your hands). Then draw all the lines of the future Santa Claus on a white background. Decorate each drawn sector with gouache. And then once again draw clear black boundaries between the elements of the drawing - make outlines with a black marker. Markers work great on rocks. It is best to use a marker for signing CDs - it does not wash off and does not stain your hands.

You can depict any New Year's theme on suitable flat stones. An article-lesson on creating beautiful New Year's drawings is already on our website “Family Heap”.

And from several stones (also painted with gouache) you can put together a whole plot application on a single background cut from plywood.

We buy a small sheet of plywood at a hardware store (or find a suitable one in a pile of trash near the entrance). We cut a round piece out of it. We tint with ink the color of snow and the color of sky. And against this background we lay out Santa Claus, his sack, his reindeer, his sleigh... whatever.

Please note that the stones perform only one part of the element - the rest are painted with paints, laid out from twigs, ropes and other natural material.

It is not necessary to choose smooth round stones. The most uneven curved stones can work to your advantage. Lay them out, try them on next to each other and try to see the outlines of your future craft in this arrangement. Who knows what masterpiece your little “rock garden” will give birth to on a piece of paper.

You can also use shells as a natural material for crafts in the form of Santa Claus. It will turn out interesting and beautiful.

You can come up with your own New Year's pictures from magic pebbles. Do not forget to spray the craft with hairspray - this will make it brighter and will not stain your hands with gouache or smudge. You can also sculpt some details of such a panel craft from plasticine (it can also be coated with hairspray)... or sculpt it from papier mache ( paper napkin mixed with PVA glue, see point above in this article).

Craft Santa Claus

Made from plasticine.

From ordinary plasticine (or from polymer clay) you can also make a beautiful Santa Claus. The main thing is to work slowly and remember to wash your hands when moving from one color of plasticine to another. There we will get pure colors of the parts and the whole craft will look neat.

After making the craft, you need to dry it in a cool place and spray it with hairspray. This is necessary so that it stops being sticky and does not collect room dust. You can cover the craft with acrylic matte varnish soft brush. Acrylic varnish for crafts is sold at office supply or craft stores.

Such varnished, non-sticky plasticine figures are also good because they can be used inside small Snow capsules. Where the foam snowball will fall. You can make capsules for plasticine Santa Claus with your own hands - from transparent plastic bottles. Cutting off the top and bottom of them and joining them together. Sprinkle nail glitter, sequins or foam balls inside, or cut the fluff from pillows with scissors - the fluff will slowly settle, creating the illusion of snowfall.

Can be done flat crafts made from plasticine. Roll out colored plasticine with a rolling pin on the table. A wooden rolling pin is not suitable - it leaves rough marks on the plasticine. A round glass bottle or a can of any deodorant can be used as a smooth rolling pin.

Place a stencil image (details of Santa Claus, or his clothes) on the rolled out layer of plasticine. We trace with a sharp object. Remove the stencil and cut with scissors along the scratched lines. We get planar parts from which you can put together a plasticine graphic applique. Or make something like this to decorate the kitchen in New Year's style(as in the photo below).

You can get ideas for plasticine crafts in the form of Santa Claus from New Year's cakes decorated with mastic characters. Santa Claus is often sculpted from sweet confectionery fondant from different angles. Look through New Year's cakes on Google and you will find many ideas for plasticine New Year's heroes.

You can find even more New Year's plasticine ideas for children's crafts in the classroom and at home in a special article on our website

DIY Santa Claus

FROM CONES.

Pine and fir cones can also be painted with gouache (like the stones from the paragraph above). And when painted, the cone immediately becomes interesting basis for a New Year's craft in the form of Santa Claus. We insert beads and buttons, a fluffy dusting brush painted with white gouache becomes a fluffy beard. Cut out a hat from a piece of felt.

Also in the company of Santa Claus With your own hands (also from pine cones) you can make a deer (with antlers made of fluffy wire), a snowman, a penguin in a felt scarf, and a green Christmas tree pine cone, decorated with beads and flowers cut from lace.

Other bright crafts and toys made from pine and fir cones collected in a large article with photographs

Volumetric Santa Claus

From modular origami.

If you know how to fold an Origami module. It doesn’t cost you anything to create such a pot-bellied Santa Claus. YouTube is full of videos that will teach you how to fold a triangular paper origami module in 2 minutes. For 2 pm make yourself a bunch of modules (the family will help), and on the third evening fold Santa Claus. Assembly takes place without glue. Each module fits into each other - like a groove into a groove.

Green Christmas tree also consists of modular origami. And you can make a snowman and a deer, if you think about it with your head...

DIY Santa Claus

FROM PAPER CONES.

We all know how to make paper cones - like bags for seeds. We need a semicircle - which we roll into a bag and glue the side seam of the bag with glue (or not with glue, but with a stapler).

Or you can provide paper latches on the bag - slits and ears that fit into each other. On the template below we see that on the left we have an incision (short dotted line), and on the right there is a protruding eye (along the edge of the hem of the fur coat). We cut out such a template (diagram below), paint it and connect it into a bag - inserting the eyelet into the cut (or you can simply fix everything with glue without any ears).

Santa Claus is easy and quick to make based on a regular cone. Below I give large circuits for large figures. The actual size of the diagram corresponds to A3 format - it’s like two landscape pages. You won't be able to print it on a printer - you need to go to the printing center. But the craft will be large and nice in size.

Here's another one large template for the paper Santa Claus craft - it is also in A3 format - print in the center of the printout.

But this template is smaller - if you want, you can also enlarge it to a large size. Each craft is beautiful - you must agree. You can just imagine how Grandfather Frost stands proudly on the windowsill and pleases the eye. Great craft - elegant and simple.

Children's craft Santa Claus

From toilet paper rolls.

Cardboard rolls are great for children's crafts. In the photo below we see how you can play up the image of Santa Claus based on this “toilet roll” form.

The elements can be made from paper, felt, cotton wool, formiam, fabric or knitted socks.

Santa Claus and dishes

(pots, cups, plates).

And in this section of the article I want to show you how to make it yourself original craft from non-standard material.

From flower pots you can collect Santa Claus. We will make a beard for this grandfather from gypsum plaster. You can buy it at a hardware store gypsum plaster(it's cheap in small packaging You can take half a kilo). We dilute the gypsum mixture with water to a thick porridge. And quickly, before it thickens and dries, we sculpt a beard for Santa Claus. Pots can also be coated with plaster porridge, in those places where we depict fluffy fur or snow. If sprinkled on top glitter(nail polish) it will turn out that snowy places sparkle in the sun.

Or here are New Year's crafts from disposable colored cups. Here the cups are placed in a circle on the floor (glue the round dance together using hot glue from a gun). Then on a round dance we make a second tier-floor, then a third - they themselves will be rounded into a spherical shape (because the cups at the bottom are narrower than at the edge). We make one ball for the belly and one ball for the head of Santa Claus. We make mittens, a belt, eyes, a mustache, and a hat from paper and fabric.

And we begin to make a green Christmas tree from cups according to the principle of a round dance. But we put a paper cone inside it. And we also attach the cups along the upper floors to the walls of this paper cone.

From the remaining red cups and toilet paper rolls you can make cute Frosties with a cotton wool beard.

And disposable flat plates can become a source of such children's crafts. Place beige paper on the bottom of the plate (this will be the background of the face). Without a beige or pink background (just on a pale plate) it will not be beautiful.

Craft Santa Claus

Made from felt and formiam.

Now a new ornamental material has appeared on sale - formiam. This is a baby modern technologies very suitable for making voluminous, plump crafts that are well attached to each other with hot glue. In the photo below you see a Santa Claus craft made from formim (a porous thick material).

But crafts made from felt will still be more durable. And warmer to the touch. More dear, closer.

You can make Santa Claus appliques from felt on a round piece of paper - you will get a toy pendant for the Christmas tree.

Please note how in the photo below the fastening of the applique parts is done - with sparse stitches, parts are tacked here and there (the beard and mustache are held on by 4-5 stitches).

If you make a HOOP from cardboard, wrap it in fabric and decorate the front with a figure of Santa Claus, then we will get a headdress for the New Year. It can be worn for children's holiday dinners, or worn directly over a hat on the street - delighting passers-by with its New Year's look.

In addition to hard felt, you can use SOFT FLEECE. This is the material from which sweatshirts and bikers are made. It is suitable for sewing soft toys in the form of Santa Claus or plump pillows (as in the photo below).

But Santa Claus, where FELT (wool for felting) is present, is in the left photo below. And also a figurine of Santa Claus made from a ball of red thread and a piece of white centipon and a felt cap. The face can be made from a tennis ball, tinted beige.

Knitted Santa Claus.

You can also knit a New Year's Santa Claus from threads with crochet or knitting needles. Below, for inspiration, I have posted several photo samples of such DIY crafts.

You can simply crochet a flat figure. Use it as an applique for a craft, or as a toy pendant for the Christmas tree.

You can make a beard from chopped bundles of thread (fluffy like a real one) or simply tie it with a wedge (like a knitting sprout).

And here is an example of Santa Claus knitted with his own hands. Choose your favorite knitting method and start making a real surprise for the whole family with your own hands. Such New Year's toy will accompany your holiday every year, like a tradition, like a family heirloom, made by your mother’s beloved hands.

Here are some ideas on the theme of Santa Claus with your own hands - from everything - from paper to knitting. Now you will definitely make yourself magical Grandfather Frost, who will fulfill your wishes this year. Because you deserve it. Because you are good.

Modular origami Santa Claus - master class

We will need: sheets of A4 paper: of blue color- 14 pieces for 211 modules, white- 13 pieces for 207 modules, Pink colour- 1 sheet for 17 modules.

We divide each sheet into 16 rectangles, from which we will make modules.

Step one. Fold the rectangular sheet in half lengthwise. Using another fold, we outline the middle line.

Step two. We bend the edges of the rectangle folded along the middle, as shown in the photo. Turn the piece over and fold the bottom edges up.

Step three. We fold the corners, bending them over the large triangle, and then bend these corners inward. We bend the resulting figure in half - so we have learned how to make a module. Now, in the same way, we make the required number of modules indicated above from the rest of the paper.

Step four. Let's start making crafts. We take 5 white modules and arrange them as in the photo (we place the top row module with the smaller side up). Next, we assemble a chain of 3 rows of white modules. Each row consists of 25 pieces.

Step five. We close the chain into a ring and turn it over. Next, we perform 3 rows with blue modules. From the seventh row we make a beard. To do this, insert 2 white modules with the smaller side facing out. We insert the remaining blue modules of row 7 as usual.

Step five. In the 8th row we fasten 3 white modules, as usual, with the long side, the remaining modules are blue. With each next row we add one white module on each side of the beard.

Step six. In the 11th row we insert one red module into the middle of the beard - this is the mouth. Row 12 consists of white modules. We put them on blue modules with the smaller side facing out, and on white modules (beard) with the long side, as usual. In the 13th row, opposite the red module, we put on the white one with the long side outward, and 2 pink modules each with the smaller side (see photo).

Step seven. In the 14th row we put on 6 pink modules with the smaller side, and we put on white modules as usual. Row 15 - we put on 17 white modules and 8 pink ones. In the 16th and 17th rows we put on all the white modules with the smaller side outward - this is the hat.

Step eight. The last 18th row consists of blue modules with the smaller side facing out. We assemble hands from 3 white modules and 5 blue ones. Glue the finished eyes and insert the nose (part of a children's mosaic). Santa Claus made from paper using modular origami technique is ready. We hope that after studying the master class, the Snow Maiden, made in the same technique, will appear next to your Santa Claus.

Santa Claus made of paper using origami technique - master class

We will need colored paper and a little patience. We offer you several schemes according to which you can easily make Santa Claus with your own skillful hands. You can hang it on the Christmas tree and decorate it greeting card or give it to friends on New Year.

DIY Santa Claus from colored paper - master class

We will need: red paper, pink paper for the face, white paper for the beard, cotton wool, markers, scissors and glue.

Operating procedure:

Using a compass or a small plate, draw a semicircle on red paper. We cut it out, fold it into a cone and glue it together.

We cut out an oval from pink paper, draw eyes and a nose on it with a felt-tip pen and glue the face of Santa Claus to the cone.

Next, glue on the beard and hat from white paper. To do this, cut out white strips, cut fringe on them and twist it with scissors. We glue strips with twisted fringe to the cone at the bottom of the face in several rows, giving the beard fullness. We make a hat from the same strip. A beard, hat and fur coat for Santa Claus can be made from cotton wool, which is glued to the cone along its lower edge, on the face and the upper part of the cone. An elegant Santa Claus made from paper, made by yourself, is ready. Using a cone, using your imagination, you can make a Snow Maiden.

Santa Claus from colored paper strips- Master Class

We will need: thick colored paper, white corrugated cardboard, scissors and glue.

Operating procedure:

Cut out 6 strips measuring 1 cm by 15 cm and 6 strips measuring 1 cm by 10 cm from red paper. Glue them into rings. We assemble a ball from 6 large rings, fastening it with glue at the top and bottom. Using small rings, we assemble a smaller ball using the same pattern. The result is the body and head of Santa Claus.

Cut out a small circle for the face from pink or orange paper. We cut out a mustache, beard and hat of any size from corrugated cardboard and decorate the face with them. Cut out and glue the eyes and nose. Glue the face to small ball, which we then glue to the body. Cut out mittens and felt boots from cardboard and glue them to the craft. The New Year's symbol made from paper, created with your own hands, is ready.

Santa Claus crafts made from paper and cotton wool

What would New Year be without Santa Claus? To Santa Claus in new year holidays has a special mission - to give gifts and fulfill wishes. Traditionally, children make crafts for the New Year. We suggest making simple Santa Clauses from paper and cotton wool with your own hands.

Drawing "Santa Claus"

We mark Santa Claus on paper with a pencil. We paint the clothes with red gouache as shown in the photo. Brown gouache will be needed for Santa Claus' shoes. We use felt-tip pens to decorate the eyes, nose, and mouth of Santa Claus.

DIY Santa Claus cone craft

Simple volumetric craft Santa Claus. We make a cone from red paper. It is better to do this from a semicircle.

From paper pale pink cut out an oval. On it we draw the eyes, eyebrows, nose and mouth of Santa Claus with felt-tip pens. Glue the resulting face onto the cone. Next, we separate the strips from the cotton wool and decorate the coat, hat, and beard of Santa Claus. If you stretch a thread through the hole at the top of the cone, then this craft can be used as a Christmas tree toy.

This Santa Claus can also be decorated using white woolen threads.

Cylindrical craft Santa Claus

Another option for making Santa Claus. We roll a cylinder from A4 paper. We cover the cylinder with dark red corrugated paper. Then from corrugated paper cut out the strip and add folds. And then we glue this part to the cylinder as the bottom of Santa Claus's coat.

We decorate the top of the cylinder with a paper cap - glue a strip and collect it on a thread. Glue on the face of Santa Claus. Roll the cotton wool into a ball and make a pompom for the hat. Before we decorate the hat with a strip of cotton wool.

We separate the strips from the cotton wool and make a beard and mustache, and decorate the coat.

From woolen threads different colors, folded into several threads, we make a belt for a coat. We make coat sleeves from corrugated paper, folded in several layers, glue them to the body of Santa Claus and decorate them with strips of cotton wool. Santa Claus is ready. It can be placed under the Christmas tree. All that remains is to make a gift bag. Cut out a circle from the same corrugated paper. Place a lump of cotton wool in the middle of this circle. We gather the paper around the cotton wool and tie it at the top with woolen threads.

DIY Santa Claus craft is ready.

Applique "Santa Claus" made of dark red corrugated paper and cotton wool

We outline the outline of Santa Claus on half a sheet of A4 paper. Let's draw a face. We make Santa's coat from paper, fold it and glue it as shown in the photo. Cover the unfilled areas with paper. We use strips of cotton wool to decorate the hat, coat, mustache and beard of Santa Claus.

We roll cotton wool into balls and glue them to Santa Claus's coat instead of buttons. You can also make a bag for Santa Claus from corrugated paper and glue it next to it.

We continue to decorate Christmas tree handmade crafts. This time Santa Claus is in the picture again. It is made of paper and cardboard, or rather cardboard cone. Easy to do, even kids can do it kindergarten, if you prepare cones for them in advance.

Master class on how to make Santa Claus from a cone

For the craft we need: colored cardboard, white paper, string, compasses, scissors, pencil, glue, felt-tip pens.

We make a cone out of red cardboard. To do this, draw a semicircle with a compass and cut it out. In order to hang the toy on the Christmas tree later, we need to glue a loop into the very middle of the straight side of the semicircle.

We spread this middle. Fold the rope in half and glue the ends. To be safe, stick a strip of any paper on top.

Now you can roll the cone. Apply glue, roll, press. It should look like the loop is sticking out from the top of the cone.

We cut out a strip of white paper about 1 cm thick, this is the headband of the hat. Glue it.

Draw a triangle, cut out the beard, make slits in it and twist the ends of the beard (either with scissors or with a pencil).

Glue the beard to Santa Claus.

We cut out the mustache and glue it too.

The nose can be cut out of pink paper and glued, or you can simply draw it. We also draw the eyes. The craft is ready.
