Even if your home interior is beautifully decorated and it is a pleasure to spend time in any room, there comes a moment when you want a holiday in the middle of everyday life in your house. And then the holiday itself imperceptibly comes according to the calendar. And there is a desire to somehow celebrate this day, to make the rooms smart, to create that very joyful festive atmosphere. And this is wonderful, especially since a few nice details are enough for bright changes in the interior. 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 decorations with your own hands.

Basic materials and tools for work

What basic materials and tools will you need to work? It is, of course, the paper itself. Believe me, everything can come in handy: napkins, newspapers, magazines, music books, writing paper, colored from sets, colored double-sided, whatman paper, corrugated paper, paper with various textures and embossing, design, for scrapbooking and other. Your imagination will tell you which paper to use when to get an original decoration that fits the style of your room.
Cardboard, either white or gray, or colored, may come in handy. If you have thick white paper or cardboard, you can use paints (watercolor, gouache, acrylic, etc.) to give the paper the desired color or apply patterns and drawings.
Of course, you will need glue (PVA, glue stick, universal transparent moment), a stapler with paper clips, scissors, a stationery knife, threads 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, it's okay, the same parts can be made by cutting out the circled template.
For fine and accurate work, you may need tweezers, for example, medical ones.
Well, the most important tool is, of course, your imagination. For many paper decorations, diagrams will be shown, and with some you can easily figure it out yourself. The activity is going to be exciting! Let's get started.

Probably, all of us in childhood decorated window glass with homemade paper snowflakes. So you want to arrange at home under winter fairy tale. And why not deploy a fairy-tale world right on the windowsill? We implement the idea.

You will need thick white cardboard. From it, cut curly pictures according to the template. Glue them together (you can try to do it with an overlap) to get a solid strip of the pattern in the length of the window sill.

Then glue the second same strip. In it, it is advisable to swap the pictures in places or even use other template drawings, you can come up with them yourself.
Now you need to glue the box the same length as the window sill, 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 strips with our figured landscapes. We insert the strips into the holders: one to the front wall of the box, the second to the back wall. We stretch a garland between the landscapes along the box. Light bulbs with white or blue light will look best.
So, turn on the garland, turn off the light and enjoy the fairy tale!

Let's decorate the house for the New Year. This time we are making paper toys for the Christmas tree. Prepare paper of 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 on the thread and thread the double thread into the eye of the needle, as shown in the figure.


We fold our strips in half. First we string a circle on a thread, and then all the stripes in the order you need (alternating colors, for example).


Also on the same thread we string the strips from their opposite end. At the end we string a circle, and the last - the second bead. Then we straighten the strips according to the example of a fan.


So the first Christmas tree toy made of paper is ready!

Let's move on to the next one. She's going the same way. Only the stripes do not need to be bent (so the toy will turn out in the form of a ball).
And the strips are distributed in a circle so that there is a distance between them. Therefore, you should not thread the thread through the toy, as was the case in the first case. It is better to fasten the strips at both ends with rivets (used in scrapbooking) or fasten so that the strips can be opened with a fan.
If you use paper of the same color for stripes, decorate the toy, for example, with small flowers. They can just be made using the figured hole punch, which we talked about above. You can cut flowers with scissors or even decorate the toy with something else (sequins, rhinestones, sparkles, beads, etc.).
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 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 jewelry from colored paper will be in place for any holiday or will become original decor rooms. Making them is quite simple.


For greater effect, it is worth making such balls different sizes and hang them together.
You will need different colors of paper, although plain white paper can also be used.


To make one ball, you need to cut out 12 blanks-modules along the contour, make cuts in them in the indicated places and connect the parts of the toy together.


But these balls are somewhat similar to the previous ones, but they are made differently.


You need to draw and cut out identical circles from colored paper. Then draw and cut out an isosceles triangle that fits exactly into your circles, touching the circle itself.
We attach a triangle to each circle and draw lines along its sides. Then, along the lines obtained inside the circle, we bend the edges of the circles. You will get many triangles with rounded edges bent outward.
Glue the triangles former circles) between themselves, applying them to each other with these very bent edges. Look carefully at the photo of the finished toy to understand how the circles stick together.
The size of your colored balls will depend on the diameter of the circles that you draw and the number of these circles.

And again paper decorations-balls

In order to glue such a toy, we again need to draw and cut out circles of the same diameter and different colors.


We 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 we slightly open our circles, like a little book. Now we glue the circles together with a drop of glue, alternating: first from below, then from above. After gluing, we straighten our ball. It remains to attach a thread or ribbon to hang the decoration.


By the same principle, one can colorful balls it is much easier to assemble a paper garland from them by stringing them on a thread or cord.


To make such a ball, we fold the cut out circles in half, and then glue them together, applying the 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 balls. Can make toys different shapes and connect them in one garland.

Such a garland will be a great decoration for a child's room. Yes, and you can do it with your child, because everything is so simple.

Weaving volumetric jewelry from paper

And finally, one of the most complex paper toys among all presented here. But it is much more wonderful than complicated. So, we turn on and develop spatial imagination - we will make woven paper balloon.


Get ready for hard work. In addition to colored paper in two colors, you will need 10 paper clips, a glue stick and tweezers. It is better that the colored paper is double-sided.
Here is a template that resembles the sun. It’s not worth drawing this one yourself, the bend and thickness of the rays are very important here. Take advantage of this; it may need to be enlarged a bit before printing. After printing out the template with the sun, cut it out and transfer it to colored paper. You should have 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 one on top of the other so that their rays are directed in opposite directions. In the center, 2 suns can be fastened together with glue.
Now we begin directly weaving. We stretch the rays of one color between the rays of another. Then we turn our blanks over and do the same again.
Having reached a certain place, you will need to start shaping the ball. Here we will use paper clips to secure 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.
A part that looks like part of a spoked wheel will serve to connect the ball and basket. Connect the ends of the circle of this part with glue. Then glue the so-called knitting needles with their tips to the inside of the walls of the basket, and glue the rim to the base of the ball.
To make it easier for you to understand the principle of working with weaving, you can carefully watch the video of the entire process.

That's all - a magnificent balloon is ready! This DIY paper decoration can decorate a child's room, children's holiday or just become a decor for the mood in your home. You can make several of these balls of different colors and sizes and hang them from the ceiling individually or on a special frame with crossbars, like a pendant.
