DIY Christmas toy dog ​​for the Christmas tree - a symbol of the coming year

Since the Year of the Yellow Dog awaits us ahead, it is necessary that this symbol be present in the New Year's interior, in particular on the Christmas tree. A do-it-yourself New Year's dog toy for the Christmas tree can be made in different ways. The simplest one is to cut out a dog from cardboard, adding eyes, ears, and a mouth to it - you can keep your child busy with this creative process. Draw a template and cut it out, and the children will use the template to make many of these little dogs, decorate them and make a garland out of them, hanging them on a long thread or tinsel.

While they are busy with such a fascinating process, you can make New Year’s toys for the Christmas tree with your own hands for 2018, “dogs” from fabric. Felt fabric is often used for these purposes, which holds its shape well and has a rich palette of colorful colors. In the photo in our article we have collected examples of patterns that will help you sew cute doggies. After cutting out the blanks, sew them together and stuff them with padding polyester (don’t forget to insert the ears). The eyes can be made from beads, and a small red cap with a loop can be sewn onto the head.

Bones, also sewn from fabric or made from puff pastry, will help to appease the mistress of the coming year, the recipe for which will be discussed in further material.

How to make Christmas toys with your own hands from paper

Colored and white paper give a lot of scope for creativity. It is especially easy for children to work with this material. It allows you to create a wide variety of decorations: garlands, New Year's toys and snowflakes with your own hands. In order to make the simplest chain garland, you need to take colored paper, preferably double-sided. Cut out thin strips of 1 cm of equal length from it at your discretion. Using PVA glue, glue the ends of the first strip together. We thread each next strip into the previous ring, also glue it together and get a link. This garland can be used to decorate a Christmas tree or the walls and ceiling of a room.

To make multi-colored “snowflakes” for your Christmas tree with your own hands, you need four sheets of paper of different colors. We cut out symmetrical snowflakes from them, as shown in the photo, bend them in half and glue them together with edges, not forgetting to insert a loop. In this way you can make bells, stars, etc. If you make three balls of different sizes and glue them closely onto one thread, you will get a three-dimensional snowman.

Original DIY Christmas toys for a Christmas tree made from light bulbs

If a light bulb burns out in your home, don’t rush to throw it away; it can become an excellent material for making a variety of decorations. For example, you can make Christmas tree decorations from light bulbs with your own hands (photos are presented in the article) using the decoupage technique. For this you will need beautiful napkins. The light bulb can be pre-painted with white acrylic paint. We cut out an image from a napkin, and applying it to the surface, using a brush, apply PVA glue on top. You need to work very carefully so that “ribs” do not form, since it will be very difficult to level them so as not to damage the design.

While the toy is still wet, you can sprinkle it with glitter (they will also help hide some flaws). The loop can be glued using a heat gun. Light bulbs can be painted by making Christmas tree decorations with your own hands in the form of Santa Clauses, dogs, penguins, snowmen, etc. in this way you will create original, unique decorations, practically without material costs.

DIY New Year's bell toys

The bell is an integral attribute of the New Year, since at all times it was believed that its ringing drives away evil forces and protects the house from various troubles. A bell can be cut out of cardboard, decorated with beads, sparkles and a loop. There are also other simple ways to make New Year's bell toys with your own hands. For example, sew. Any fabric is used for these purposes.

Make a template on cardboard. Cut out the blanks according to the template, sew them together, stuffing them with padding polyester or fabric scraps in the process. Make a loop. The product can be trimmed with beads, decorated with small multi-colored buttons, sprinkled with glitter, after applying glue to the surface.

Another way to make New Year's toys in the form of bells with your own hands is to use plastic, namely glasses and bottles. You can wrap the glass in foil (for glue), make a hole in the bottom with an awl and pull through a loop. The edges of the product can be decorated with tinsel or artificial snow. In a plastic bottle, you need to cut off the top part, which is with a cap, and decorate it with paints. We also make a loop on which we tie a large bow. While the paint is still wet, you can apply a layer of glitter.

DIY Christmas toy clock for the Christmas tree

A beautiful decoration reminiscent of the approaching celebration will be a DIY New Year's toy clock for the Christmas tree. You can make it using a cardboard box, which everyone probably has in their home. The most important thing is to cut the roof correctly. To do this, you need to draw it on the front and rear panels and cut it off, and cut the top strip above them in half and glue the roof together, thus forming two gentle slopes. In the future, they can be decorated with cotton wool or white tinsel in the form of snow.

We paint the blank and, after drying, proceed to designing the dial. You can simply draw it using a compass, stick on numbers and arrows cut out of colored paper, use buttons and other materials. You can make your own New Year's Christmas tree clock toys using DVDs, which are easy to draw on with a marker, to decorate the dial.

Having decorated the dial in a way convenient for you, we begin decorating using artificial snow, beads, tinsel and other materials. If our clock will hang on the tree, we need to make a loop to the roof by piercing two holes with an awl and stretching the braid. At the bottom you can put two cords in the same way and decorate them with cones. Your DIY Christmas tree clock toy is ready.

DIY Christmas toys for the street tree

It’s also worth considering decorations for the street - this could be a DIY New Year’s toy for a city tree or for a green beauty in the courtyard of a private house. In any case, it is necessary to choose the right material that will not be afraid of moisture. For example, it is very good to use plastic bottles for these purposes, which are suitable both in size and in terms of moisture resistance and plasticity of the material.

The easiest way is to make a large candy toy by wrapping a bottle in bright foil and twisting the ends. It can be decorated with bows and a loop attached. With the help of paints, a large 5-liter bottle can easily be transformed into a fairy-tale house, and charming New Year's penguin toys for the Christmas tree with your own hands, photos of which are posted in our article, will become a real fairy-tale decoration.

New Year's bells can be made from flower pots. Wrap them in foil, glue on multi-colored tinsel, bows, and ribbons. You can connect two bells together, make a loop and decorate it with a star.

Polystyrene foam can also be a good material for making Christmas tree decorations with your own hands. Cut a circle out of it, treat it with golden sparkles or wrap it in tinsel, first smearing it with glue. Thus, you will get a blank for a wreath. Below you can make a composition from pine cones, artificial flowers, berries and other materials, which can also be given a golden hue. Attach a fluffy bow and a loop at the top.

The ideas for DIY Christmas tree decorations are endless. Looking around, you can find a lot of material that is perfect for decorating the New Year's beauty's decorations. Imagine, experiment and don’t forget to involve children with their unbridled imagination in this exciting process.

“Children's Novelty” yarn is suitable for knitting. It is 100% acrylic. Let's start knitting from the sock. We need to form an amigurumi ring of 6 loops. Therefore, we will make an initial loop and knit 2 more air loops. Then in the 2nd loop from the hook we make 6 sc.

Now we need to increase the number of loops to 24. To do this, we will knit 3 rows with increases in a row. First we will simply increase each stitch by working 2 sc in each stitch.

In the new row we will first knit 1 sc, and in the next loop 2 sc, in the 3rd loop again 1 sc and so on until the end of the row. That is, we knit with an increase through a loop.

Then we will perform a row with an increase every 2 loops. And add 1 more row every 3 loops of the circle. This is how we get 24 loops, knitting 6 increases in each row.

Now we will form the heel. Change the thread to white again. We knit exactly 12 sc. Then we turn around and do 1 ch. Next we will knit 8 turning rows. Each of them will contain exactly 12 sc.

Now we turn the workpiece onto the left side and sew the heel, folding it in half. We sew, doing stbn..

Turn the boot back right side out. Let's start knitting the top. Join at the seam on the heel and knit in the round with blue thread. We knit, decreasing in 2 places. Where the heel meets the toe. Right in the corners.

Now let's make a frill. We join with a white thread and make 3 lifting loops. Next, we knit another 4 dc at the same point. We skip the loop and work 1 sc. Next, we skip the loop again and work 5 dc in one loop. And we will knit like this until the end.

Turn the edge of the sock a little and make a loop from the air chain. We will hang the boot for her.

You can decorate your boot by embroidering a snowflake with your own hands. The New Year's boot for gifts and souvenirs is ready! You can knit several boots, and the children will be happy to look for them and get gifts.

Decorating a Christmas tree for the New Year - what could be more interesting? In this short lesson, let's look at a master class on creating a wonderful ball from a disk.

To work we will need:

• white and blue felt;
• disk;
• white cotton yarn;
• glue;
• decorative buttons and other decorations.

First, cut out snow and blue sky from felt, the diameter of this should be equal to the diameter of the disk.

Next, take hook No. 2 and white yarn, start knitting the reverse side of our decoration, it should have a large number of spaces, since thanks to them, the disk itself will be visible. We choose any pattern for this.

The diameter of the reverse side must correspond to the diameter of the disk. Now let's start decorating the outside. Glue colorful buttons to the felt.

Then we take a thread and sew on beads, they will imitate snowflakes. This is what we get.

New Year's snowflake on a Christmas tree made of threads

Snowflakes are an integral part of winter and New Year's decorations! There are many ways and options for making such crafts. Today we will look at a very interesting, and most importantly simple way to make a snowflake from knitting threads. Making such a snowflake is very easy and quick, so you can start working with your children.

To make a snowflake we will need:

• white knitting thread;
• 6 transparent beads;
• scissors;
• needle;
• school notebook or book.

It is not necessary to make such a snowflake from white yarn. You can take a thread of any color. The size of the finished snowflake will depend on the object on which we will wind the thread. You can take a general notebook or book and wind a white thread. The thicker we wind it, the larger and thicker the snowflake will be. But you don’t need to wind a lot, because in this case the pattern of the finished product will be difficult to see.

Then carefully remove the workpiece and pull it in the center with a thread of the same color, tying 2 tight knots. That is, we grab both sides of the resulting ring and tie a knot.

Now use scissors to cut from both edges. We tighten them well with the blades of scissors so that the threads are then approximately the same length.

Turn the workpiece over and distribute the threads approximately equally. We need to see the center of the workpiece. We do this on both sides, forming a circle of threads. In this position, place the workpiece on a hard surface.

We divide the threads into 6 approximately equal parts. There is no need to count each thread, just distribute it in bunches by eye.

Now, stepping back a little from the center, we pull the bundle with thread.

We do this with each bunch. We drag at the same level.

In the center we already have a small six-pointed snowflake. Next we will form a new tier of snowflakes. To do this, we need to divide each bundle into 2 equal parts. These parts must be combined with adjacent beams.

And we tie the resulting bundles again.

To decorate our snowflake we will take 6 transparent beads. We thread a piece of thread inside. You can use a wide eyed needle for this if it fits into the hole on the bead.

We tie the bundle again. We do this with each bunch.

Now all we have to do is trim the tassels. We cut them with scissors.

In just a few minutes you can make a beautiful three-dimensional snowflake from knitting threads.

This beautiful airy snowflake can be used as a New Year's toy to decorate a Christmas tree.

We lay out the wooden sticks close to each other and transfer the outline of the deer using the blank. A pencil is quite suitable as a tool. Its lead fits well on a wooden surface.

After completing the labor-intensive process, all elements need to be glued together. The result should be the basis for a Christmas tree decoration.

We begin the entertaining stage of decor by painting a faceless deer. Colors can vary from traditional red to bright yellow. However, you should not combine more than two types. Otherwise, decorative elements may get lost against such a background.

At the final stage, we fasten the loop and decorate the base of the toy. Ribbons, buttons, beads are not a complete list of items that can be used to decorate a toy.

Christmas snowflake on a Christmas tree made of glue

It’s hard to imagine the New Year’s mood without snow, so let’s add some snowflakes to the home decor. They can be made from various materials, from plain paper to wood and glass. Let's consider a method for making a decorative snowflake from glue.

We prepare all the necessary tools and materials:

• glue gun;
• glue for a gun (a couple of sticks is enough);
• baking paper or foil;
• any cream;
• glue;
• tassels;
• scissors;
• glitter;
• thread for hanging.

The whole process will take no more than an hour, everything is so fast and elementary that you can trust the child to do it. First of all, we choose the design of the future snowflake. You can search on the Internet, or you can come up with it yourself.

Please pay attention that there are no too small parts, the glue will merge into an ordinary blot in them.

We transfer the drawing to baking paper/foil, grease the surface with any cream - without it the glue will be difficult to peel off.

We heat up the glue gun and begin to carefully trace the outline of the snowflake with a strip of liquid glue. We make sure that there are no separate lines left, they all must intersect, otherwise individual parts will simply fall off.

After the New Year's snowflake is completely circled, let it dry for a few minutes.

Dry glue is easily cut with scissors, at this stage we cut off all the imperfections (protruding drops, excess glue), and correct the very shape of the snowflake.

Now you can begin the decorating stage. This will require glue. Using a brush, apply a thin layer of glue to the surface of the snowflake.

Sprinkle with glitter, white glitter will create a more natural effect.

Let the glitter glue dry for 20-25 minutes, after which we attach a thread for hanging. That's it, the snowflake is ready to decorate the Christmas tree and give New Year's mood.

On the eve of the New Year, why not decorate the Christmas tree with toys made with your own hands from natural materials, in particular, pine cones? This simple craft looks very harmonious on green branches.

For work we prepare:

• pine cone;
• clothespin;
• tinsel;
• plastic snowflake;
• scissors;
• glue.

In this craft we will use an open pine cone. However, absolutely any variety of cones, for example, Crimean pine, is suitable for making this decoration.

And one more moment. A plastic snowflake purchased from a craft store is used as a decorative element. If it is not possible to get such a part, it can be replaced with corrugated paper, plastic flowers cut out of cups.

In general, there is something to think about in your spare time. How to make a decent frame for a bump? The process of making the craft is very simple. First you need to glue the snowflake to the clothespin.

Glue a new decorative craft element in the center of the snowflake.

All that remains is to attach a pine cone on top. We don't regret glue. The cone should stick tightly to the plastic snowflake, not to the tinsel.

The decoration is ready. It turned out to be a kind of candle.

Of course, if you wish, you can paint the cones in different colors in advance, decorate them with beads or sparkles. We won't do this. The resulting candle looks very natural and harmonious on the green paws of our fluffy tree.

Here's proof of that. A bump, like a bump. Nothing extra. Even the red color of the clothespin does not bother the eye (although, without a doubt, wood would be better suited here).

Children's New Year's craft - Christmas tree made from pasta

Children are preparing for the New Year celebration - learning scripts, poems, congratulations and making winter-themed crafts. These can be applications on windows, paper garlands or Christmas tree decorations. We'll probably stick to the last option. Our Christmas tree is already decorated with homemade bunnies, snowmen and other figures.

Today we will make a craft from pasta in the form of spirals. We suggest focusing on the simplest and most understandable master class, which children of primary school age can independently repeat.

For work we prepare:

• Paper triangle;
• a piece of plastic from a folder or binder;
• PVA glue;
• spirals;
• watercolor with brush;
• ribbon or thread for a loop;
• scissors.

We have a primitive Christmas tree template made from white paper in the form of a triangle, scissors and a plastic rectangle from a binder.

Let's connect them together and cut out a transparent blank from plastic for a New Year's craft from pasta - a Christmas tree.

Of course, sometimes gaps will be visible between the parts, but they do not spoil the craft at all. So even better. The tree has clearly visible branches.

It’s time to pick up a watercolor and a thick brush and cover the Christmas tree with emerald greenery. In order not to stain the table, we placed a regular landscape sheet under the workpiece.

All that remains is to hang bright decorations on the prickly paws of the tree. Let's use PVA. These can be shells, bows or the same spirals. In our case, the curls represent long candles. Let's paint them rich red.

Attach a loop to the top of the craft. Here it is better to use a stapler or superglue. Otherwise, how can you hang a pasta toy on the Christmas tree?

A craft glued to an ordinary clothespin will hold firmly enough to the branches. Then you don’t have to deal with the loop.

This is what our decoration looks like on a real Christmas tree among the balls and tinsel. Beautiful?

Children's craft - Christmas tree made from pasta

This New Year's toy can be made in 20 minutes from simple improvised materials.

The work will require the following materials:

• the basis for the cone is a foam ball or an egg from children’s toys;
• brown velvet colored paper;
• foam balls or cone-shaped blanks;
• narrow tape for loop;
• glue gun

We cut a piece 10 cm long from the satin ribbon. From velvet paper we cut out droplets - scales of the future cone about 1 cm in size. The paper can be absolutely any color, because New Year's cones are distinguished by a variety of colors and colors.

First of all, we glue the tape to the wide base of the toy - to the foam blank.

We begin gluing the scales from the loop side. We cover the entire surface of the workpiece with them.

To prevent the cone from looking boring, we crumble the foam and attach balls to the edges of the scales in the upper part.

The New Year's snow-covered cone is ready in a matter of minutes. Such toys will not only save money on purchasing Christmas tree decorations, but will also decorate the tree and the interior of the room.

DIY paper Christmas angel

One of the most popular New Year's decorations can be called a Christmas angel made of paper, which can be made according to the proposed master class. This angel is made very simply and quickly.

Necessary materials:

• White sheet of A4 format;
• scissors;
• pencil;
• ruler;
• glue;
• gold colored sparkles.

First, cut out 2 squares of paper of the required size, on which the final size of the future angel will depend. In our case, the squares measure 9x9 cm.

Now we fold both squares like an accordion.

On each of the blanks you need to make one fold in opposite directions. This fold should be located approximately 1/3 of the distance from the edge.

On each of the blanks it is necessary to glue the side side, the upper part will be the wings of an angel.

Now let's start creating the head. To do this, cut a strip from a sheet of paper, the width of which is equal to the accordion with which we folded the squares. After this, we begin to twist the cut narrow strip, periodically fastening it with glue.

To create a head of the required size, several strips may be required; we take as many as needed to make a proportional craft.

We make the remaining end of the narrow strip free, creating a halo. We fasten a strip of paper at the bottom and leave a small end.

We glue the resulting blank between two previously bent accordions.

Using golden sparkles we decorate our craft.

Our paper Christmas angel is ready. See how to do it here.

DIY Christmas decorations are the most original decorations. Of course, you won’t find another ball, snowman or animal like this. It is made in a single copy. Christmas trees decorated with homemade children's toys look incredibly colorful and unique.

Today we invite you to consider a simple master class and answer the question: how to make a New Year's craft from a plastic cup? Of course, other available materials will be used in the work. But! The decoration will still be based on a yogurt cup.

So, for the craft you will need:

• cotton wool;
• tinsel;
• a plastic cup;
• sequins;
• satin ribbon or thread;
• glue;
• scissors.

At the first stage, the children cannot cope on their own. You will have to turn to adults for help. You need to make two neat holes in the plastic cup. In a second, dad will pierce even holes with an awl, through which we will stretch a satin ribbon - the handle of the future flower basket.

Secure the ends of the tape with small knots.

Now let's take a piece of snow-white cotton wool and put it in the basket. Of course, any other filler can be used for this purpose. However, we associate cotton wool with snow and the New Year. Moreover, it is incredibly light, and therefore will not weigh down the craft at all.

Let's cut off several short pieces from the tinsel and imitate the greenery in the basket.

It’s time to coat each sequin with glue and place a fiery bouquet on the surface of the cotton wool.

As a result, in 15 minutes we received a colorful, light and cute Christmas tree decoration - a basket of flowers.

Let's show you a New Year's craft made from a plastic cup and scrap materials in close-up.

But the basket took its place on the Christmas tree.

This concludes the work. It's time to remove the remnants of materials used in making crafts from the table and go outside for new ideas. A walk in the frosty air always inspires creativity!

New Year's toys - do-it-yourself paper umbrellas

A very beautiful New Year's toy made from a regular napkin, master class

I suggest knitting a small snowflake that can be used to decorate a Christmas tree by attaching a loop to the snowflake. If you knit such a snowflake from thin yarn, you can decorate children's clothing with it. This snowflake is knitted very quickly and easily. Even a novice knitter can handle this job.

Materials and tools:

Karachay acrylic yarn of white or blue color is used for knitting. Hook number 3 is suitable for this yarn. You can use thinner yarn, then the snowflake will be even smaller.

Abbreviations used in the text:

VP - air loop;

RLS – single crochet.

We start knitting the motif from the center. We perform the Amigurumi ring. It was invented by Japanese knitters for small knitted amigurumi toys. We call it a sliding or magic ring: we lay the white thread so that the end of the thread is in the palm of our hand, and wrap the working thread around the index finger (away from ourselves), insert the hook into the resulting ring, pick up the working thread and, pulling the loop into the ring, knit half-column. The ring is fixed and work can begin.

1 row. On the ring we knit sc, 3 ch, sc. The result was an arch of 3 VPs. Six such arches need to be made on the ring. Between the arches we knit one sc. We complete the row with a connecting loop into the first arch. Tighten the ring.

2nd row. We knit 1 sc, 10 VP. In the fourth loop of the chain we knit a connecting loop, 7 VP, a connecting loop to the same point, 7 VP again attached to the same loop and we knit three connecting loops down the chain. We knit 1 sc in the same arch.

To move on to the next arch, we knit 5 VP.

Then we knit a connecting loop into the second loop of the chain, 2 ch, sc into the next arch.

We repeat the ray: ** 10 VP, connecting loop in 4 VP of the chain, 7 VP, connecting loop, 7 VP, connecting loop in 4 VP of the chain, three connecting loops down the chain, RLS, 5 VP, connecting loop in the second loop of the chain, 2 VP, sc in next arch.

We repeat the pattern between the stars 4 more times. We complete the row with a connecting loop into the first arch.

We cut the thread and fasten it. To use a snowflake as a Christmas tree decoration, you need to starch it, prick it, drawing out the rays and dry it in a straightened state.

Snowflake - the toy for the Christmas tree is ready! The master class was prepared by Svetlana Chalkina.

The New Year's period is the best time of the year for creativity and handicrafts. After all, it is the aura of magic that has the best influence on boundless imagination. No suitable materials? Don’t rush to go shopping at a store or handmade goods store. Perhaps you will find something interesting in boxes and chests.

With this we will say goodbye. I wish everyone a fabulous New Year's Eve! May the whole next year be incredibly successful, rich and happy!

See how to make New Year's tree decorations from plastic bottles, yarn, felt and even toilet paper rolls, as well as the symbol of 2018 - a dog.

Christmas toys made from yarn

You can quickly create such openwork decorations from scrap materials. You will need:

• yarn;
• plastic tray;
• Bowl;
• pins;
• PVA glue;
• marker;
• paper.

Pour the PVA into a bowl and dilute with a little water. Dip the threads here and let them soak in this solution for 5 minutes. Stick pins into the upside down tray so that they follow the shape of the star. Wind the thread around them, first creating the contours of the future product from it.

Now lay the yarn so that you get symmetrical curls or use a pattern that you come up with yourself.

Set aside the work, let the product dry completely, after which it’s time to hang it on the Christmas tree. In the same way, you can make a smaller copy of this tree. Don't forget to make a loop for hanging it on the tree.

Yarn is a very pliable material, so it can be used to create toys of almost any shape.

To make such a ball for the Christmas tree, take:

• white threads;
• Balloon;
• glitter;
• PVA glue;
• a bowl.

Inflate the balloon, wrap it with threads and lower it into a bowl filled with PVA glue and diluted with a small amount of water. Turn this piece several times so that the yarn is well saturated with glue.

Now take the ball out of the bowl and let the glue drip off. Then cover the piece with glitter and hang it up to dry. When a day has passed, pierce the ball with a needle and remove it through the hole. Such a product can not only become a decoration for the Christmas tree, but will also decorate the room after the New Year.

Not only white threads, but also colored yarn will quickly turn into Christmas tree decorations. You will start 2018 with your own hands by contemplating a decorated Christmas tree, the items for which you will make yourself or with the involvement of other family members.

Very soon you will have such sparkling balls. To make them, you need to take:

• yarn;
• air balloons;
• bowl;
• glue;
• scissors;
• a needle.

As in the previous case, saturate the ball with PVA glue diluted with water. Hang the workpiece to dry, then pierce the ball to remove it. If you want, don't pierce it, just untie it and let the air out. Then you can remove the whole ball and use it.

If you want, make a backlight for each product by attaching Christmas tree garlands or an LED inside the element.

For such creativity, you can use almost any thread, even jute cord. See how decorating such products with satin ribbons gives them additional charm.

If you wish, cover the finished balls with gold paint, it will turn out very beautiful.

The next DIY Christmas tree decoration can then be taken to school or kindergarten.

Similar decorations are also made from yarn. First, pompoms are created from it, then they turn into an animal or bird. To make such a Christmas tree toy, take:

• yarn of the desired color;
• PVA glue;
• colored cardboard.

Cut a ring of the required diameter from cardboard. Start wrapping it with yarn in several layers. When there is a very small hole left in the center, finish this stage of work and cut the yarn in a circle. Tie this bundle with thread, remove the cardboard.

By the way, you can use this base to create other Christmas tree decorations. It can be round, heart-shaped, drop-shaped or Christmas tree-shaped.

You will need to wrap the cut-out cardboard blank with threads, secure the ends with glue, then decorate the toys at your discretion.

How to make Christmas tree decorations from felt?

This material is very beneficial; even beginners can use it to create decorations for the New Year’s holiday. At the same time, you do not need to have a sewing machine, since the presented Christmas tree toys made of felt are sewn by hand.

If you want to create such a Christmas tree, then take:

• cookie cutter;
• green felt;
• scissors;
• light green threads;
• a needle;
• multi-colored beads.

Place the Christmas tree-shaped cookie cutter on a piece of felt and cut out. For one toy you will need two identical blanks. Place one above the other, stitch them together, sewing along the edge.

Decorate the Christmas tree with beads; you can also use round buttons on the stem.

If you have red and white felt, combining these colors will create incredibly beautiful Christmas tree decorations.

If you don’t know what to give your friend, mother, or grandmother for the New Year, you can sew oven mitts from felt that match the mood of this holiday and give them to them.

To make the following felt Christmas tree decorations, you don't need any patterns. But if you are not sure that you can immediately cut out the star correctly, then first draw it on a cardboard template, cut it out, and then attach it to the felt. Draw with chalk and cut out two parts for each toy.

Such blanks are placed one above the other, a padding polyester is placed inside and swept along the edge with a basting. Sew on the beads, attach a loop on top and you can hang the decorations on the New Year’s tree.

Even small scraps of felt will be useful. Cut out snowflakes of various shapes from them, sew them to each loop so that you can hang these products on the Christmas tree.

To make the next decoration, you need to cut a strip of felt 5 cm wide, and if you need a Christmas tree decoration for a large Christmas tree, then make it 10-15 cm wide. Cut one of the long edges of this strip of fabric in a straight line, making cuts at the same distance.

Roll this cut ribbon into a tight log. Sew a braid on top to secure the workpiece in this position. Sew on the loop, after which the work can be considered completed.

Decorate the Christmas tree with felt pine cones. To do this, take light and dark colored material.

On cardboard, draw patterns of flowers of different sizes, consisting of 4-8 petals. Thread a strong thread into a needle, string these blanks onto it in the following sequence: first put on it a small brown circle with a tail made of the same fabric, then put on a small light flower, and on it a brown one of the same size. Next comes a pair of slightly larger blanks.

Using this technology, assemble the cone so that the largest pieces are in the center. String further smaller ones, the smallest flower last.

If you are crafting with your child, have him draw a Christmas tree on paper, cut it out and use this template to create a felt tree. It is decorated with white circles that represent snowflakes.

Under the strict guidance of adults, a child will be able to make a snowman out of felt.

For such a toy, you need to cut a blank out of white fabric, consisting of two circles of different sizes. You will need 2 parts for each character. They are not completely sewn along the edges, then the padding polyester is put inside, and only then the remaining slot is swept away. All that remains is to decorate the figurine with a scarf, a hat, and sew on facial features from leftover fabric.

If you want to make a New Year's wreath, you can also use felt or other thick fabric. For the base, you need to cut two rings from such a fabric and one from padding polyester or holofiber. This soft filler is placed inside, the edges are swept away.

Now you need to decorate the wreath with gingerbread characters. Look, they are given in the next pattern.

For each, you also need to cut out two parts, seal them with filler, and decorate the blanks, following the photo hint.

DIY Christmas tree toy in the shape of a dog

Since 2018 is the year of the dog, don’t forget to hang a toy made in the shape of this animal on your Christmas tree.

If you want the New Year’s dog toy for the Christmas tree to be as voluminous as in the photo, then you need to cut out two outer parts of the body from fabric, as well as two inner lower ones. Small blanks are sewn together and also ground together with large ones. The head will be more voluminous if an insert is sewn on top.

A dog Christmas tree toy can be made from almost any material. Even a toilet paper roll will do. See how this scrap material can be turned into a fun dog.

To do this, just press well on the top of the workpiece to mark the animal’s ears. Then you need to paint the sleeve and glue the parts of the dog’s muzzle, tail and paws to it.

Here's another idea for such a decoration. If you want the toy to hang on the Christmas tree, then fold the thread into a loop and glue it to it. The bushings are arranged horizontally, then to each you need to glue the muzzle and paws of an animal made of paper, paint it all in the appropriate colors.

You can make a lot of funny dogs out of these bushings. It will be enough to glue to each paw and a muzzle on which ears and facial features are drawn, and the dog’s New Year’s toy for the Christmas tree is ready.

If you need to quickly decorate trees or a room for this holiday, then inflate balloons and glue two ears to each. Using a marker, draw the features of the muzzle, you will get wonderful dogs.

Even old hats can be turned into original dogs. Cut out eyes and ears from felt, and make a nose from pompoms. Glue these elements onto the hat, after which you can admire the work done.

If you have popsicle sticks, glue them onto a cardboard base to create the animal's face and front legs. Attach eyes for toys, other facial features, as well as ears and tail.

You can also make a dog for the New Year from a plastic bottle. The following photo tip will help you create it.

By the way, you can make other decoration elements for this bright holiday from plastic containers.

New Year's toys made from plastic bottles

To make such a pine cone, you need to take:

• brown plastic bottles;
• scissors;
• pliers;
• awl;
• wire;
• beads.

Cut off the top and bottom of the bottle, cut the central part in half to make a plastic rectangle. You can use a template or draw by hand blanks that look like flowers, which consist of five petals.

Make a hole in the center of each with an awl. Hold these flowers over the flame of the burner, holding them with pliers. When the pieces have cooled, string them onto the wire, starting with the largest one. Secure with beads so that the elements do not move out.

To make a ball from a plastic bottle, take this container and cut out rings of the same size from it.

Now connect them all together so that the blanks resemble a ball. Tie individual elements using rain.

Now you can decorate the balls with tinsel and sparkles by gluing these elements to the base.

What's a Christmas tree without a New Year's bell? To make such a toy, take:

• plastic bottles;
• scissors;
• glue gun;
• polystyrene foam ball;
• ribbons;
• organza;
• sandpaper;
• nylon thread;
• decorative elements;
• gold paint.

Cut off the top of the bottle where the neck is.

To prevent the cut from being sharp, go over it with sandpaper or burn it over a flame.

Paint the items with gold paint. Through the neck, lower the nylon thread down, to which you need to tie a polystyrene foam ball. The organza ribbon should be glued to the bottom of the bell. Attach wire to hang the bell on the tree. But first, don't forget to decorate it as you wish.

The wreath will become a decoration for the Christmas tree or room decor. To do this, you need to cut off the bottoms of plastic bottles, cut them to make these pointed flowers, and then connect them to form a wreath.

7. Cover the product with clear varnish and dry. All is ready!

If you are a lover of expensive wine, then after emptying the bottle, do not rush to discard its cork. Collect them. And at the right time they will come in handy. For example, use them for the following purposes.

"Souvenir made from wine corks"

You will need:

• 6 natural wine bottle stoppers;
• natural twine;
• Super glue;
• scissors;
• confetti, small beads.

Manufacturing process:

1. Carefully cut each cork into 3 equal parts with a knife.

The knife must be sharp so that the corks do not crumble.

2. You should end up with 18 pieces.

3. Now lay out small triangles from these pieces on a hard surface. One triangle should consist of 6 pieces of corks. There should be 3 triangles in total.

4. Glue each resulting triangle.

5. Cut three 40 cm ropes from twine.

6. Tie each string in the middle, forming a loop.

7. Take a dried triangle, attach a loop knot to the top, coating the place where they touch with glue.

8. Loop the twine around the entire triangle and tie the loose ends tightly in a knot.

Well, now try to make beautiful snowmen from iron corks.

"Snowmen"

You will need:

• ribbons;
• bottle caps;

Manufacturing process:

1. Take three good, non-deformed bottle caps. Wash and dry them. Then paint with white acrylic paint.

4. Cut a small strip from a satin ribbon. This will be a scarf. Tie it over the plugs. And glue a button in the middle. The bright decoration in the shape of a snowman is completely ready.

You can also use not only corks, but also the bottles themselves. Just not glass, but plastic. For example, by cutting them into halves and then gluing the parts to the required length, you get an excellent blank for any toy. Let your imagination run wild. And then, using paints, bring the plastic blanks to life.

This is how beautiful and bright you can make a penguin. I think everything will be clear to you from the diagram.

Or fill the bottles with any New Year's souvenirs and decorate the top.

You can also cut strips from plastic and assemble a ball.

Here's a simple idea for making small toys out of paper and satin ribbons. Find New Year's pictures on the Internet, print them in the shape of a circle, and cut them out. Then glue it onto the cardboard. Weave the ribbons together and cover the outline with them. Glue the loop.

And here's another paper assembly for you. Also a very simple product, just for kids. Print the diagram and cut it out. Assemble the craft along the fold lines and glue it together. Decorate with beads, plasticine, etc. Glue a bow loop. That's all!

"Crystal Ball"

You will need:

• half beads made of glass and plastic;
• foam balls;
• trimmings of satin ribbons;
• scissors;
• glue gun

Manufacturing process:

1. Take a foam ball and start covering it in a circle with half beads. At the same time, you can lay out a specific pattern, or make the craft monochromatic.

Remember that the glue must be applied in a thin layer, otherwise the foam will melt.

2. After you have completely covered the entire ball, all you have to do is embellish it a little more. Simply tie a bow from satin scraps and glue to the item. Don't forget about the loop.

In the same way you can make balls from buttons. Just paint the foam balls first, and then glue on the multi-colored buttons.

And disposable plastic cups are generally a godsend for creativity. They just need to be turned upside down and covered with paper decorations, sequins, adhesive tape or painted with paints. And in the end you may end up with ringing bells and funny snowmen.

For variety, choose a very simple product - sew or assemble a large Christmas tree bow. You can make many small bows.

I also came up with the idea of ​​combining the purchased version with homemade creativity. Buy transparent Christmas tree balls, carefully unscrew the top and add glitter. Screw the product. Or apply glue to the surface of the ball in the form of any pattern and also sprinkle with glitter. The crafts come out very beautiful.

Of course, don’t forget about needlework using thick threads and regular glue.

Moreover, the use of this technology will allow you to make anything you want.

You can learn more about this technique here.

And here are the instructions on how such a miracle can be created.

Interesting products are also made from pasta. Usually they are glued together and thus made into snowflakes.

And a cool idea would be to decorate unnecessary old light bulbs. They are usually painted with acrylic paints and decorated with knitted, rag and other attributes.

You can also make toys from salt dough, plasticine or clay.

Or bake real edible souvenirs.

In fact, there are still a large number of holiday products that you can make with your own hands from improvised materials, it’s impossible to list them all. Therefore, we move on.

1. Take pink half-cardboard and cut out many strips 1 cm wide and 7 cm long.

2. Now use a pencil or scissors to twist each strip.

3. Apply glue to the top of one of the strips, and place another strip on top. Glue the strips in a circle in this way.

4. In the end you should get something like this.

6. Now cut out a long pink strip 0.5 cm wide.

7. Twist the strip so that you get a curl, like a pig’s tail.

8. Glue the tail to the ball.

9. Cut out two circles of different diameters and ears from half-cardboard. Cut out two small circles from red paper - these are the nostrils.

10. Glue a piece of double-sided tape onto a circle of smaller diameter. Attach it to a large circle. Using glue, glue the “nostrils”.

11. Using a black marker, draw eyes and outline the outline.

12. From red paper, cut out two strips 2 cm wide and 5 cm long. Paint them with the same black marker. This will be a scarf.

13. Glue the scarf to the back of the pig's head. Then glue the head to the body (volumetric ball). And don't forget to cut and glue the ribbon loop.

Agree, this is a very easy craft and is accessible for children's creativity.

Step-by-step instructions on how to make a New Year's toy from cotton wool

And ahead of us awaits a detailed master class on creating another Christmas tree decoration in the form of a bright cockerel. We will make it from ordinary cotton wool.

"Cotton Cockerel"

You will need:

• cardboard (thick but cutable);
• cotton wool (from a pharmacy, regular in a roll);
• cotton pads;
• white threads;
• potato starch;
• black half-bead eyes;
• tailor's pin (with a loop at the end);
• paints for painting.

Manufacturing process:

1. Take cardboard and draw the outline of a cockerel on it. Cut it out.

2. Unwind the cotton wool from the roll and tightly wrap it around the cut out outline to the legs.

3. Now wind the thread over the cotton wool. Do the same with the leg.

5. Cut wings (4 pcs.) and parts for the tail (4 pcs.) from cotton pads.

6. Cut out one comb and two parts for a beard from a cotton pad.

7. Make a starch paste and coat our rooster figurine with it. Then wrap thin pieces of dry cotton wool around our product. Apply paste to all uneven surfaces. Next, saturate all other parts with paste and carefully attach them to the cockerel. Form folds, fluff the tail, you can additionally make a thin strip of cotton wool and glue it around the neck. Glue on the eyes.

8. Dry the product upside down (hang it on the thread we left). And then paint it to your liking. Cut the thread and insert a pin, thread an elegant rope.

Use this technology to make other animals, fairy-tale heroes and characters.
