With the onset of the holiday season, many are wondering how to make Christmas decorations with their own hands. For most crafts, special materials and skills are not required, but at the same time they look spectacular and enliven the interior.
Paper snowflakes
Laconic, but original DIY decoration for the new year
The simplest but most varied decor is snowflakes made of white or colored paper. Patterned figures can be glued to windows and walls, creating a composition with drawings or thematic stickers. From snowflakes make vertical and horizontal garlands, which decorate windows, doors, lampshades, ceiling. To make the paper craft brighter, it can be painted or decorated with sequins.
Step-by-step instruction
Pattern Examples
To work, you need a square sheet of paper or a sheet of A4 format, scissors, a pencil. Next, you need to follow the steps in turn:
1. Make a square out of a rectangular sheet. To do this, bend it diagonally, getting an isosceles triangle. Cut off excess. If the paper is initially square, it must be folded diagonally;
2. The ends of the resulting triangle should be folded to each other, creating another, but smaller in size;
3. Connect the ends together again. In order for the snowflake to have the shape of a star, a straight line should be drawn from the top of the triangle, which will divide it in half, and cut off the excess part without bending;
4. Draw a pattern on the triangle with a seam using a pencil. For it, you can apply straight geometric or smooth arbitrary lines;
5. Cut the pattern, open the snowflake and straighten it with a heavy book or iron.
Snow village
Paper shapes look beautiful and authentic.
A non-standard, but atmospheric and exciting idea of \u200b\u200bdo-it-yourself Christmas decoration for a home is a winter mini-town. The exposition can consist of one house or the whole settlement. They are located in one place, for example, on a pedestal or coffee table, or placed throughout the apartment. To make the city look festive, it can be decorated with mini-crafts, tinsel, garlands and thematic figures - fences, benches, snowmen, people, cars.
How to make houses?
Ready-made diagram of the Christmas house
For crafts, you need white or colored thick paper or thin cardboard, a pencil, a ruler, scissors.
You should start by drawing or transferring the finished scheme of the house in expanded form. All walls, the roof, the base, as well as the places of bends and gluing are visible on it. Then it remains to cut out the model, fold it and fasten the valves with PVA glue, glue stick or double-sided tape.
A city can be created from the same buildings or unique, experimenting with schemes. To make the figures brighter and more diverse, you should decorate the scan with the help of stickers, scrapbooking paper, sequins, paints.
Christmas tree made of cones
Christmas tree - the main symbol of the New Year
The central place in the paper city can take a miniature Christmas tree made of cones. Also, such crafts can be placed on window sills, shelves, a desktop or make a garland on windows and walls. For the main New Year symbol, you must do the following:
- clean the cone from dirt and litter;
- dry and wait until it takes its final form;
- insert it into a small flower pot, a glass jar. If the containers are too large, they can be filled with earth, cotton wool, grain, and decorate with artificial snow, decorative stones, tinsel on top.
How to decorate a bump?
DIY new year decor photo. Catchy and simple
To make the craft look more elegant, it should be painted. It will be possible to do this with the help of nail polish, automotive or furniture spray, as well as acrylic paints. White, green and blue shades and metallic colors - silver, gold look spectacular. You can color the cone completely by dipping it in a jar of paint, or just the tips with a brush, sponge.
Beads, large glitters, small sparkles, balls of wool for felting are suitable as decor. To glue them, just use a brush to apply PVA glue or varnish to the bump.
Artificial snow
A simple way to create a fairy tale
The final touch, which will complete the composition, will make it harmonious and will combine all objects in a plot - snow. It can be glued to cones or roofs of houses, to fill in snowdrifts or to make a thin cover in the place that the city is located.
The most affordable and versatile tool for creating artificial snow at home is the usual shaving foam. It should be mixed with two packs of corn starch or a pack of soda. In the resulting snow-white mass, you can add small sparkles, which will give the snow more shine.
Glass Compositions
Uncomplicated, but beautiful decoration for the table and tables
With the help of ordinary one-and-a-half or liter cans, glass vases and deep plates or transparent bottles, you can create a concise home decor. Large containers can be completely filled with plastic Christmas balls or make a base with garlands of beads, artificial snow or cereals. Then, thematic toys and figures, candles, put tangerines, cones or Christmas tree branches should be put on the substrate. If you fill bottles and small cans with garlands on batteries, you will get original lamps.
You can decorate not only the capacity, but also the glass itself by gluing paper applications and snowflakes, artificial snow, painting snow patterns with paints. As a decor, lace or satin ribbons tied with a bow are also suitable.
Christmas tree made of sticks
Attracts attention and saves space
Non-standard Christmas trees, for example, from cones, paper using the technique of clipping, garlands and threads, are very popular. The original idea of \u200b\u200ba Christmas decor with your own hands is a composition of sticks on the wall. For such crafts, you need to collect twigs and branches of approximately the same color and shape. After cleaning and drying, they should be laid out with a pyramid from the smallest at the top to the largest at the bottom. To connect the twigs, you can use a string, ropes, ribbons. The distance between the sticks should depend on the size of the area allocated for the tree. To attach the craft to the wall, a few nails are enough.
An unusual Christmas tree needs to be decorated to make it look more solemn. To do this, garlands, Christmas balls and toys, cones, themed figures, "rain" and tinsel are suitable.

Many people notice that the older they get, the more difficult it is to experience the magical sensation of a fairy tale and a miracle that always came to us in childhood on New Year's Eve.
But we are in website We are sure that the New Year’s mood will not take long if you make one of these wonderful decorations for your home and Christmas tree with your own hands. Almost all, with the exception of two or three, do not require much time and some special materials - they can be made in half an hour from what is at hand.
Sprocket of thread
Wreath of balls and an old hanger
In just half an hour you can make a colorful wreath by buying a couple sets of inexpensive balls. The blogger Jennifer, the author of this article, recommends that the old hanger be folded, but if there is none, then a piece of durable wire is perfect.
- You will need: a pair of sets of balls (20-25 balls of different colors and sizes), a wire hanger or wire, spruce branches, braid or a finished decoration for decorating a wreath.
Tablecloth made of snowflakes
A delicate and surprisingly festive tablecloth will turn out of snowflakes, on which we have filled our hand since childhood. You can sit and kill snowflakes with the whole family, and then put them on the table and fasten them with small pieces of adhesive tape. A wonderful solution for receiving guests or just a lunch with your family on vacation.
Colorful hats
Lovely colored hats can be made from the remains of yarn, from which you can collect a garland on a Christmas tree or to decorate a wall. Or hang them on a window or chandelier at different levels. Children over five years old will do just fine with this simple decoration. See details.
- You will need: a toilet paper sleeve for ringlets (or plain cardboard or thick paper), scissors, multi-colored yarn and a good mood.
Lamp "Snow-covered city"
For this charming lamp you need to measure a piece of paper around the circumference of a can with a small margin (to glue it together), depict and cut a simple urban or forest landscape. Wrap around the jar, and put a candle inside.
- You will need: a jar, thick paper of any color, you can white, any candle. Alternatively, you can cover the top of the can with “falling snow” using a special “snow” spray, which is sold in hobby shops.
Balls with photos
Great idea for decorating a Christmas tree or for a gift to relatives and friends. The photo needs to be rolled up into a tube so that it passes into the hole in the ball, and then straightened with a wooden stick or tweezers. Small black-and-white rectangular pictures are suitable, and you can also cut the photo in the shape of a ball or in silhouette (as is the case with a cat in the snow).
- You will need: plastic or glass balls, photographs, miscellaneous stuff for filling the ball - tinsel, garlands, coarse salt (for snow).
Christmas lights
And this miracle is a matter of five minutes. It is enough to collect balls, spruce branches, cones and put them in a transparent vase (or a pretty jar) and add luminous garlands.
Embers
Luminous garlands hidden among cones, branches and coniferous paws create the effect of coals smoldering in a fireplace or a cozy bonfire. From them even as if the heat is coming. For this purpose, a basket, a nice bucket, or, for example, a wicker container for small items from Ikea, lying on the balcony for a hundred years will be suitable. Everything else (except for the garland, of course) can be found in the park.
Floating candles
A very simple decoration for a New Year's table or for a cozy evening with friends on New Year's holidays is a composition with candles floating in a vessel with water, cranberries and coniferous branches. You can use cones, circles of oranges, fresh flowers and leaves from a flower shop - all that the fantasy tells you. And as a candlestick - deep plates, vases, banks, glasses, the main thing is to be transparent.
Snowman on the fridge or door
From this, children will certainly be delighted - quickly, fun and very simple, because even a three-year-old will cope with the cutting of large parts. It is enough to cut circles, nose and scarf from self-adhesive paper, wrapping paper or color cardboard and attach them to ordinary or double-sided tape.
Snowflakes on the window
An interesting application for a glue gun lying around idle. In order to glue these snowflakes to the glass, just gently press them to the surface. See our details video.
- You will need: a stencil with a snowflake painted with a black marker, tracing paper (parchment, baking paper), a glue gun and a little patience.
Christmas trees
Bright Christmas trees can be built together with the kids for a children's holiday or decorate with them a festive table. Cut the triangles out of colored paper or cardboard, attach them to the toothpick with tape and stick the resulting Christmas trees into the candies.
- You will need: Hershey’s Kisses or any other truffle sweets, toothpicks, scotch tape, colored paper or patterned cardboard.
Garland with photos and drawings.
New Year, Christmas - warm, family holidays. And it will come in handy with photographs, children's drawings, pictures. They are easiest to fix with clothespins that can be decorated with hearts or snowflakes.
Origami Star
Painted spoons
Ordinary metal spoons or wooden spoons for cooking with the help of acrylic paints turn into interesting Christmas decorations. This idea will surely appeal to children. If you bend the handle of metal spoons, they can be hung on a Christmas tree. And wooden spoons will look great in the kitchen or in a bouquet with fir branches.
Snowman sock
Unnecessary white socks make such funny snowmen. Cut off the toe at the sock, and on the other hand, tie it with a thread. Pour the rice into a round shape, drag it again 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.
Even if your home interior is beautifully decorated and spending time in any room is a pleasure, there comes a time when you want a holiday in the house in the middle of everyday life. And even the holiday itself imperceptibly comes on the calendar. And there is a desire to somehow celebrate this day, to make the rooms elegant, to create that very joyful festive atmosphere. And this is wonderful, especially since for a vivid change in the interior a few nice details are enough. And for them it is not at all necessary to buy expensive materials and spend a lot of time on manufacturing. Today you will learn how easy it is to make beautiful paper jewelry with your own hands.
Basic materials and tools for work
What basic materials and tools will you need to work? This, of course, is the paper itself. Believe me, everything can come in handy: napkins, newspapers, magazines, music notebooks, writing paper, colored from sets, two-sided color, whatman paper, corrugated paper, paper with various textures and embossments, design paper, for scrapbooking and others. Your imagination will tell you what paper to use when to get an original decoration that suits the style of your room.
Cardboard can be useful, both white or gray, and color. If you have thick white paper or cardboard, you can use paints (watercolor, gouache, acrylic, etc.) to give the paper the right color or apply patterns and drawings.
Of course, you will need glue (PVA, glue stick, Universal transparent moment), a stapler with staples, scissors, a stationery knife, thread with a needle. A figured hole punch can be useful for cutting flowers and other small figures. Such a hole punch is used in scrapbooking and will be very useful if you like to do paper art. But if it is not there, then it’s okay, the same details can be made by cutting out a circled template.
For fine and accurate work, you may need tweezers, for example, medical.
Well, the most important tool is, of course, your imagination. For many paper decorations, patterns will be shown, and with some you can easily figure it out yourself. The lesson will be exciting! Let's get started.
Probably all of us in childhood decorated window glass with homemade paper snowflakes. So I want to arrange a house for a winter fairy tale. And why not deploy a fairy-tale world right on the windowsill? We embody the idea.
You will need a thick white cardboard. From it cut curly pictures according to the pattern. Glue them together (you can try to do this with an overlap) to get a solid strip of the picture in the length of the windowsill.
Then glue the second same strip. In it, it is advisable to swap pictures or even use other drawing patterns, you can come up with them yourself.
Now you need to glue the box of the same length as the windowsill, about 10-15 centimeters wide and about 4-6 centimeters high.
Inside the box we place rectangular pieces of foam rubber. In foam rubber we fix cardboard holders with slots for stripes with our curly landscapes. We insert the strips into the holders: one to the front wall of the box, the second to the back wall. Between the landscapes along the box we stretch a garland. Bulbs with white or blue light will look best.
So, turn on the garland, turn off the light and enjoy the fairy tale!
We will continue to decorate the house for the New Year. This time we make paper toys for the Christmas tree. Prepare paper in different colors, a ruler and a pencil, scissors, 2 beads and a needle and thread. 
We cut the paper into 18 strips of different colors about 10 centimeters long and about 1-1.2 centimeters wide. We draw and cut out two circles with a diameter of about 2 centimeters.
We string the bead onto the thread and thread the double thread into the eye of the needle, as shown in the figure. 
Fold our strips in half. First we thread a circle, and then all the stripes in the order you need (alternating colors, for example). 
Also on the same thread we string strips from their opposite end. At the end we string a circle, and the last - a second bead. Then we straighten the strips according to the example of a fan. 
The first Christmas tree toy made of paper is ready! 
We pass to the next. She is going on the same principle. Only stripes do not need to be bent (so the toy will turn out in the shape of a ball). 
And the strips are distributed in a circle so that there is a distance between them. Therefore, do not thread the thread through the toy, as was the first case. It is better to fasten the strips from both ends with rivets (used in scrapbooking) or fix so that the strips can be opened with a fan.
If you use paper of the same color for strips, decorate the toy with, for example, small flowers. 
They just can be made with the help of a figured hole punch, about which we spoke above. You can cut flowers with scissors or even decorate the toy with something else (sequins, rhinestones, sparkles, beads and more).
When the toy is ready, we stretch a ribbon at the top under one of the strips, with which the toy will hang on the Christmas tree. If you make ribbons for toys long and of different lengths, then the balls can be hung on a chandelier or attached to the ceiling and used as an independent decoration, for example, in a nursery.
And these amazing decorations made of colored paper will be in place for any holiday or become the original decor of the room. Making them really easy. 
For greater effect, it is worth making such balls of different sizes and hanging them together.
You will need paper of different colors, although you can use just white paper. 
To make one ball, it is necessary to cut 12 module blanks along the contour, make cuts in them in the indicated places and connect the toy parts to each other. 
But these balls are somewhat similar to the previous ones, but they are made differently. 
You need to draw and cut the same circles from colored paper. Then draw and cut an isosceles triangle that would fit perfectly into your circles, touching the circle itself.
We attach a triangle to each circle and draw lines along its sides. Then, using the lines received inside the circle, bend the edges of the circles. You will get many triangles with rounded edges bent outward.
We glue the triangles (former circles) together, applying them to each other with these very bent edges. Look carefully at the photo of the finished toy to understand how the circles are glued together.
The sizes of your colored balls will depend on the diameter of the circles that you draw and on the number of these circles.
And again paper ball decorations
In order to glue such a toy, we again need to draw and cut circles of the same diameter and different colors. 
Fold the circles with a stack, draw a line along the diameter on the upper circle and connect the circles in several places with a stapler. 
Then slightly open our circles, like a little book. Now we glue the circles together with a drop of glue, alternating: from below, then from above. After gluing, straighten our ball. It remains to attach a thread or ribbon to hang the jewelry. 
Using the same principle, you can make multi-colored balls much easier and assemble a paper garland from them by stringing them on a thread or cord. 
To make such a ball, we fold the cut circles in half, and then glue them together, applying halves to each other. Connecting the balls into a garland, we stretch the thread through the center of each of them.
For a garland it is not necessary to make exactly balls. You can make toys of different shapes and combine them in one garland.
Such a garland will be an excellent decoration for a children's room. Yes, and you can make it with your child, because everything is so simple.
Look for more interesting options for creating paper balls.
Weaving voluminous paper jewelry
And finally, one of the most difficult paper toys among all presented here. But it is much more wonderful than complex. So, we turn on and develop spatial imagination - we will make a woven paper balloon. 
Get ready for hard work. In addition to colored paper in two colors, you will need 10 paper clips, glue stick and tweezers. It is better that color paper be double-sided.
Here is a template that resembles the sun. It is not worth drawing it yourself, the bending and thickness of the rays is very important here. Take advantage of this; it may need to be slightly enlarged before being printed. After printing out the template with the sun, cut it out and transfer to colored paper. You should get one sun of each color. 
Additional details that are in the template are parts of the future basket for our balloon.
Lay the sun blanks on top of one another so that their rays are directed in opposite directions. In the center, 2 suns can be glued together with glue.
Now we begin weaving directly. We stretch the rays of one color between the rays of another. Then we turn over our blanks and do the same again.
Having reached a certain place, it will be necessary to begin to shape the ball. Here we will use paper clips to fix the weave. We now use paper clips until the very end of working with the ball, until we fix the rays in weaving with glue. 
When the ball is ready, you will need to make a basket for it. We take a pre-cut blank, which consists of a circle and a strip. This is the base and walls of the basket. We connect the ends of the strip and get these same walls, then glue the bottom to the walls.
The part, similar to the part of the wheel with spokes, will serve to connect the ball and basket. Glue the ends of the circumference of this part. Then glue the so-called knitting needles with the tips to the inner side of the walls of the basket, and glue the rim to the base of the ball.
So that you understand the principle of working with weaving, you can carefully watch the video of the entire process.
That’s all - the gorgeous balloon is ready! Such a paper decoration with your own hands can decorate a child’s room, a children's holiday or just become a decor for the mood in your home. You can make several such balls of different colors and sizes and hang them under the ceiling individually or on a special frame with crossbars, such as a suspension.

Door of a house or apartment: entrance to a fairy tale
Just looking at the decorated entrance door and the porch of a country house gives the feeling that the holiday is near. Therefore, it is justifiable in the first place to decorate the front door, entrance hall, terrace, porch or porch, in other words, the entrance to the house.
As you can see, there’s nothing complicated: other containers, spruce branches, cones and balls will do their job:

Balls of thread
The New Year's interior will not do without wonderful balls of yarn. Experiment with balls: make various sizes and use not only for New Year's decoration, but also for home decoration on weekdays.
You will need:

- skein of thread to your taste
Inflate the balloon. Wrap it with thread soaked in glue. After a while, when the ball is covered with a sheath of threads, it must be dried for 24 hours. At the end of time, pierce the ball with a needle and lower it. Then pull the ball out of the adhesive shell. Create a sketch from a variety of balls:
