DIY paper Christmas tree

Small Christmas tree, example one

A decoration for a real Christmas tree in the form of a voluminous hanging Christmas tree can be made from ordinary cardboard.

To create we need:

multi-colored cardboard;
glue;
awl;
threads;
scissors.

We draw the most primitive children's Christmas tree with splayed branches, the main thing is to observe symmetry, cut it out, then circle the exact same Christmas tree on another sheet of cardboard and get the second blank. We bend the workpiece along vertical symmetry and glue it together. You can decorate our paper toy with rhinestones. Then we pierce a hole in the upper part with an awl and thread the thread. The decoration is ready.

A cardboard craft that you can either put on your desktop or hang on a Christmas tree.

Another Christmas tree, option number 2

Another example of paper crafts. At the heart of such a Christmas tree - cardboard cone. To create we need:

multi-colored paper;
glue;
scotch;
scissors.

Production order:

We cut out a large number of strips of the same length and width from colored paper. We glue each strip with glue so that it looks like a loop, then we glue all the loops on adhesive tape.
On a cardboard cone we put layers of adhesive tape, to which our strips are glued.
This is the tree we got:

A bright Christmas tree can brighten up any room.

Christmas tree from a magazine

Unusual but very easy origami. In every house there is sure to be an unnecessary magazine - here you can make an original Christmas tree out of it.

In the magazine, we bend each page like this: the upper right corner towards us at forty-five degrees, then we bend the sheet diagonally in half.

The bottom corner has gone beyond the boundaries of the magazine, we tuck it up.

We fold all the pages like this.

Here is such an original craft turned out. As you can see, nothing complicated, but a lot of fun because you were able to make it with your own hands.

Christmas paper lanterns

We made a Christmas tree, now the next step is do-it-yourself paper lanterns. Consider a few simple options for how to make paper lanterns with your own hands.

Striped lantern

To create such a flashlight, you need to cut strips of colored paper of the same width and length: the longer the strip, the larger the flashlight will be. The average length of the strip will be 15 cm.

Your kid will love to create unusual crafts with you.

We fold the strips and pierce holes at both ends. We fix the end of the lace on one side and fasten it so that the lace does not pop out. Then we thread the lace into another hole and pull it. The strips will bend in a semicircle.

We straighten the flashlight so that the strips form the shape of a ball. The flashlight is ready.

Chinese lantern

How to make a Chinese paper lantern with your own hands? To create such a craft you will need:

scissors;
strips of colored paper (18 pieces);
glue;
two paper circles with a diameter of 4 cm;
needle with thread.

Fold the strips in half. With the help of a needle, we first string a circle onto a thread, then one side of the strips, then the second and last circle. It will look like a spiral.

DIY Chinese lantern, photo

We tighten the thread so that the strips form a ball, and straighten. Top and bottom can be decorated with beads. Glue the loop. Our Chinese paper lantern is ready, it can be hung on a fluffy beauty - a Christmas tree.

sky lattern

How to make a sky lantern out of paper with your own hands? To create crafts, you need to take a sheet of colored paper measuring 24x60cm. We bend the sheet in half, then fold it with an accordion.
We unfold the sheet and make triangular creases along the central fold on all the folds of our triangular accordion.

Sky lanterns can be made colorful

We make the same creases along the lower and upper edges of the sheet. Glue into a cylinder. Sew a loop on top.

Advice. Such a flashlight can be glued from any paper, but preferably bright and saturated colors. Abstract drawings or oriental motifs will look very good. You can pre-paint the paper to your taste before creating such a craft.

paper garland

How to make a paper garland with your own hands? We propose to fulfill paper ball decoration.

Photo of a paper garland of homemade colorful balls

To make such a garland, we need stripes of the same length and width. In order to make it more convenient to fasten them with adhesive tape, we make the upper and lower parts pointed. For one ball you will need 4 strips, preferably if they are of different colors.

We braid the strips into a pigtail until they form into a ball.

We take two strips, glue them with tape and start weave a pigtail. As you weave, the pigtail will twist and turn into a ball. When the ball is ready, you will need to hide the free ends between weaving. It's worth doing this until the ball is completely formed.

For creating long garland you will need to twist a lot of balls.

Then we string each ball on a colored thread. A garland of paper balls is ready: you can decorate both the Christmas tree and the room with it.

Volumetric paper toy for the Christmas tree

Our next craft is. What should be done?

It looks like a finished voluminous asterisk made of paper

Christmas ball is ready!

New Year's angel from napkins

Such an angel can decorate a table, a Christmas tree or make a gift for relatives. To create you will need: scissors, glue, thread and ordinary table napkins.

Angel is ready!

Christmas snowflake

Let's make beautiful paper snowflakes for the new year. How to cut a beautiful voluminous snowflake? A paper snowflake can be cut according to a pattern or made using the quilling technique. The instructions for making paper snowflakes are simple: prepare paper blanks and make a finished snowflake out of them. Glue the pieces together.

This paper snowflake is made in the origami technique.

To create such delicate and airy crafts, you only need office paper. Twisted in a special way, they look like real snowflakes. First we will prepare the strips of paper. To create a curl, a strip of paper must be tightly twisted on a skewer. After you have wound it, we correct the curl of the paper and remove the “washer”.

Snowflake blanks

We need to come up with a pattern for our snowflake. The number of rows can be from one to four. The main thing is that the patterns allow all the details to be glued together.

First row- on the sides we glue six "drops";
Second row- six "arrows";
Third row- six "squares";
And here is a sample of a snowflake:

You can dream up and make a variety of applications on glass or thread a shiny thread into a snowflake and hang it on a Christmas tree.

As you can see, you can make a great variety of Christmas paper decorations with your own hands. We have shown you only a small part of what can be made from paper. These Christmas crafts, paper decorations, toys and origami snowflakes will perfectly emphasize the festive New Year decoration of both the Christmas tree and the interior.

No bright balls from the supermarket, no lights flashing in different colors, no expensive designer sets for decorating Christmas trees can compare with DIY decorations.

Of course, such decorations from the supermarket will make the evergreen guest bright, modernly decorated, but they are unlikely to be able to carry the New Year mood so joyfully as the toys made on their own.

There are a lot of ways to make Christmas decorations, but the most simple, attractive and not requiring much time are toys made of paper. To create them, you may need quite a bit, improvised materials that are stored in every hostess at home. Stock up on a bit of patience and wings for a creative flight of fancy.

Christmas balls

What is the most common Christmas tree decoration? Of course, balls! You can always buy glass, plastic ones in the store, but we will try to make them from thick paper. This includes colored cardboard, old postcards and covers of unnecessary magazines. Colored cardboard balls, plain, will give the Christmas tree or the room that you want to decorate a single style, and multi-colored balls will bring the atmosphere of a holiday, magic and a winter fairy tale.

Before you sit down to make a new toy, prepare:

thick paper;
use old magazines, cardboard boxes or candy boxes with bright patterns;
glue, PVA is best;
scissors;
a compass or any other object that you can circle around to get an even circle.

Take your cardboard and circle twenty-one identical circles on it, then cut them out with scissors. Each circle is to be folded as follows: bend the circle in half twice, on one side and the other, then straighten it, this will mark the center of the circle.

Bend only one side of it again, so that the edge of the circle is exactly in the intended center. Bend again so the two sides, so you get a triangle. In one of the twenty circles, cut out this triangle, it will serve as a kind of stencil for the rest of the circles. All that remains for you is to impose a triangle on the rest of the circles, circle it and bend the edges of the circles outward along the office.

Take the first ten circles and glue them in a strip, alternating: five down - five up. Glue the resulting strip into a ring, this will serve as the basis for the toy.

Divide the remaining ten by five, and glue them into a circle. By gluing them, you will get two caps.

The top and bottom covers will be glued to the base in the same way. Consider a loop to hang your toy from.

Children can easily help you make such a New Year's toy: you will need scissors, colored paper, packing ribbons.

Paper is by far the most inexpensive and easy-to-use material for holiday crafts, which is why we arm ourselves with scissors, glue, stapler and tape, as well as a pile of colorful leaves to make the most beautiful do-it-yourself paper Christmas decorations. And although some of the ideas are not new, you can start doing this right today, without any complicated and expensive preliminary preparation.

DIY paper Christmas decorations

The garlands that stretch around the entire perimeter of the room, curl the walls, furniture, ceiling, have been made by us since childhood. Colored chains are no longer the most popular long variety. DIY paper Christmas decorations. The hit of this winter is the starfall, the end of which is not visible.

To create these, you will need one template or stencil, a long rope and glue. On stencils, you need to cut out so many stars that it is enough to shower the whole house. Since the version of such a craft is very simple, it is necessary that the stars themselves have individual artistic value, therefore, if you take bright, colored sheets for them, maybe even with sparkles or metallic tints, then it will only get better. Another good option is wrappers, which are sold for gift wrapping departments, this material already has an interesting texture, but is not so expensive. One such leaf can become the progenitor for hundreds of stars. You need to assemble the garland on a rope, using glue for this, coat it on one asterisk, lay the rope on it so that it passes in the middle, and then cover it with a second asterisk on top and gently press it with your fingers so that the elements are fixed. You can string a string of strings, you can arrange an entire star curtain by placing them on a window cornice or doorway, or you can let them slide down from a chandelier, shining beautifully in artificial light. To complicate the task a little, you can glue together not two, but five elements in series, then you will get interesting voluminous Christmas decorations with their own hands made of paper. To save money, because several times more will go to this type of material, it is worth taking newspaper sheets.

You should not stop only on the stars, when there are still so many different elements for. For example, you can use large images of Christmas symbols - deer, Christmas trees, candy canes and gingerbread men - as such elements. They are not glued to a rope, but attached with an ordinary clothesline, making a creative garland in the style of photographic dryer exhibitions.

Volumetric decorative accents can complement garlands with a more uniform texture, for example, paper balls folded in any way you know always make bright strokes. They are both fragile and strong, large and neat, suitable for any interior, as the color for them is limited only by the palette of your colored cardboard box. Pay attention to how beautiful the heart pendants look, the photos of which you can see above, moreover, you can later use the idea of creating such pendants for Valentine's Day decor, but without depicting snowflakes on the front of the hearts.

New Year's home decoration made of paper

Such cones with the image of Christmas heroes can not only be printed on a color printer, but also drawn with your own hands. It is only necessary to first draw a diagram of the layout of such an ornament, for this it is worth arming yourself with a compass so that the circle turns out to be correct and even, the larger its diameter, the higher the cone will eventually turn out. The resulting circle must be divided into four parts in the middle and color only three, because you will need to cut off the fourth part. After cutting, the cone is twisted in just one movement and fixed with glue. It is somewhat more difficult to make such cute snow-white lanterns; for them, the vytynanka technique is used, when an openwork pattern is carefully created using a sharp breadboard knife or scissors. To get just such an elegant effect, you need to first fold solid candlesticks, but with the help of a more transparent material, such as tracing paper or parchment for baking, and the top layer, on which the pattern will already be cut out, is made based on the usual drawing format, it Holds its shape well and is easy to cut. But we will return to this beautiful technique when we study the options in more detail.

As the basis for the Christmas tree, you will need a log or a small log in which vertical grooves are made. The villages are folded into identical right-angled triangles and inserted into these holes so that the sharp end - the top of the Christmas tree - is on top, and at the bottom there would be wide legs.
