As you can see, even ordinary plastic bottles can be an excellent material for creativity. Especially on the nose of the New Year, which means that you need to create something new and get rid of the old. And these ideas will just help you get rid of the old, while creating an original and beautiful holiday decor.

In this article, we will tell you how to make do-it-yourself Christmas decorations for a street Christmas tree using available items. Everything ordinary can be turned into something beautiful and magical.
Decorations for the New Year's beauty are not made from anything: polystyrene, cardboard, cones, pieces of wood and even bottles with light bulbs are used. And every piece is unique in its own way. Look at the photo. These balls are handmade from styrofoam.

It is important to know one important detail. On New Year's Eve, the weather is not always good, it rains often. Therefore, your crafts should not have something that is washed off or soaked. When the tree is in the house, use whatever you want there.

styrofoam crafts

The material is easy to process and by itself. It will not split, break or hit anyone if it suddenly falls off a branch. Do-it-yourself Christmas toys made of polystyrene foam can be made in any form and in many ways.

Getting ready for work

We need materials and tools:

• Styrofoam;
• soldering iron;
• paints;
• sequins;
• needle and thread;
• glue;
• sandpaper.

Keep in mind that you are making decorations for a street tree, so the paint glue must be resistant to water and frost.

With a knife, we will process a foam blank. The knife should have a thin, sharp blade because the cut should not be too rough. The same applies to the emery skin, choose "zero". Sandpaper will be needed for final processing: we will remove irregularities (burrs, extra tubercles) with it. With the help of paints, we will color our craft, and then lightly cover it with sparkles. We will make a hole with a needle, and send a thread from which a loop will turn out.

Choose strong threads, as a strong wind can easily rip off the decoration!

With a soldering iron, if desired, you can apply recesses in the form of patterns. Glue will be needed if you want to attach, for example, a beautiful ribbon bow to the toy.

Observe safety precautions when working with a soldering iron! When processing foam with this device, poisonous smoke will be released that can cause cancer. Keep this in mind, work in a well ventilated area. It is advisable to use a mask or respirator to protect the respiratory system.

Making beautiful balls

It is best to make Christmas decorations from foam balls with your own hands. They are very common in craft stores. This option is offered because you can’t make a ball out of ordinary foam wrappers. We will need large balls, as we will hang them on a street tree. The bigger the tree, the bigger and brighter the toy!

So, take a clean foam ball and prepare a flat foam pad. We paint it in any color with resistant indelible paint. In order not to get your hands dirty and not to smear the paint from the ball with your fingers, use two toothpicks and stick them into the ball, as shown in the photo. You can paint with a brush or spray can. We stick toothpicks with a ball into the stand and wait for it to dry.

After the ball is dry, you can paint patterns with other paint or glue something beautiful on it. You can apply patterns with the tip of a soldering iron tip, for example, in the form of snakes. Here, play out your imagination. Then take a needle with a thread in the eye and pierce the part of the ball that you think is the top.
The figure shows exactly how to pierce the toy.

Many people use paper clips as a suspension, simply sticking them into the ball, and then tying the thread. In our case, this option will not work: a strong wind will calmly tear the ball off the suspension. The simpler the design, the more reliable it is!

We tie both ends of the thread into a knot, and hide the knot itself. The finished craft will look like a store-bought plastic Christmas tree ball.

Styrofoam figurines

Styrofoam Christmas decorations can also be made flat, in the form of various figures. You will need foam boards. First, with a pen or felt-tip pen, we make a drawing on the foam. Then carefully start cutting. Rough surfaces need to be sanded with sandpaper, otherwise the craft will not look so beautiful.

For example, we want to make a beautiful snowflake. We draw it on the foam, then we begin to cut out the internal places.

Always start by cutting out the interior. This is much more convenient, and the risk of breakage of the toy is significantly reduced.

Now we start cutting out the snowflake itself from the foam sheet. It will look beautiful and without painting. It is better, of course, to paint it in silver, gold or metallic blue. A hole must be made from the upper ends so that the snowflake on the Christmas tree is turned with its front part to the viewer. If you pierce directly on the plane, then the snowflake in limbo will turn to us with an edge.

Do not limit yourself to flat figures. Cut out voluminous crafts in the form of bells, birds, Christmas trees and so on.
By the way, such Christmas toys can be made from foam balls. For example, a snowman.
You will need balls of different sizes. One is big, another is smaller, and the third is even smaller. Glue them together carefully with strong glue. You don’t need to paint such a craft, because the snowman should be white anyway. Use indelible markers to draw his mouth, eyes, nose and buttons. You can make him a little hat.

From plastic bottles

There are a lot of options, both simple and complex. Plastic Christmas decorations are perfect for a street New Year's beauty. They also do not get wet, have a small mass and are easy to manufacture.

Only large bottles, 1.5 or 2 liters, will do. Toys from small bottles will be poorly visible on a street tree.

Let's make a Christmas tree toy from a plastic bottle with our own hands, which will serve as a bird feeder. We will need supplies:

• 2 liter plastic bottle;
• scissors and awl;
• paints;
• strong nylon thread;
• tinsel, ribbons, etc.

In this option, it is a large bottle that is suitable so that the birds have room to eat in it.

We take the bottle and begin to paint it in any bright color, along with the cap. Spray painting doesn't take long. We are waiting for the paint to dry. We decorate the bottle with ribbons, for example, we knit a bow and fasten it with glue. You can also use stickers. Then we cut out a small round window (diameter 8 cm) in the wall of the bottle so that it is as close as possible to the bottom. The photo shows interesting variants of feeder bottles, where the upper parts are made in the form of a roof.

First you need to paint the bottle, wait for it to dry, and only then cut out a window for the bird. The paint should not get where the food will lie. An animal can inadvertently swallow a piece of dry paint and get poisoned.

Now unscrew the cork and punch a small hole in it. Take a thread and make a loop. It is better to make the knot large (tie several times). We put the end of the loop so that the knot rests on the bottom of the lid. A simple and useful feeder toy is ready. We hang it on the Christmas tree, pour food and admire the birds.

Flashlight bottle and delicate bells

A very simple option, familiar to everyone since childhood. Such Christmas decorations from plastic bottles are also easy to manufacture and process. We will need everything the same as for the feeder. Only now we will cut vertical stripes on the walls.

For this procedure, a sharp thin knife or scalpel is perfect. It is better not to use a razor blade, as they can easily get hurt.

We cut the strips, the gap between them should be approximately 5 mm. The length of each strip is 15-20 cm, depending on the size of the bottle. Now we need to squeeze the bottle so that all the strips bend in different directions. Let's start painting and decorating. Something bright and shiny can be put into the inner cavity of our flashlight.

A plastic bottle and disposable teaspoons will make a wonderful Santa Claus.

A white bottle will make a unique snowflake.

Green bottles will be the basis for the Christmas wreath.

A little patience and more bottles will turn into a big snowman after a while.

We offer to make Christmas decorations with your own hands from plastic bottles!

For a long time we have been waiting for the New Year holidays, when all the most cherished dreams come true. Therefore, it is worth thinking about such pleasant chores as: choosing the right outfit, creating a festive atmosphere and decorating the Christmas tree.

Many needlewomen are very fond of creating Christmas toys with their own hands, so I often use the simplest materials to create a new masterpiece: paper, felt, plastic bottles, etc. Combining them with sparkles, tinsel and bright decor, you can create an unusual and elegant Christmas tree decoration.

Due to the fact that these are made very easily, you can create more than one Christmas decoration with your own hands that will delight you and your loved ones. In order to make a craft, you will need:

• 2 plastic bottles;
• paints or markers;
• multi-colored ribbons;
• Double-sided tape;
• brush for drawing;
• stationery knife.

Process of creation:

1. First of all, you need to cut the bottom in each bottle. These blanks will be needed to make one toy.
2. Now we take brushes and paint and draw a snowflake on the inside of each blank.
3. After that, you can put tinsel, confetti, decorative balls or sparkles into the toy.
4. Then we connect the two parts together using double-sided tape.
5. In order to hide uneven lines, you will need a ribbon matched to the color of the paint used. It is best if you wind the ribbon in several layers and tie it in the shape of a bow. This way you will complete the top of the toy.
6. Now the craft is almost ready and you can secure it with a paper clip, which must be bent in the shape of a hook.

Despite the fact that such toys are considered the easiest to make, they open up huge prospects for your imagination. This is a great way to teach your child new ways of decorating and create your own New Year's masterpiece.

Christmas balls

In order to make a Christmas tree toy in the form of a ball, you will need to take a plastic bottle from milk or water (it is desirable that the surface is transparent). Their shape is most suitable for creating this decoration.

Now let's prepare the following auxiliary tools:

• dye;
• sequins;
• stationery knife;
• glue.

First of all, you need to take a clerical knife and cut out four circles from the bottle (up to 1 cm wide), and then connect them into a ball. After that, you need to fasten them together with glue.

You can pinch them on both sides with clothespins to keep them from moving until the glue is completely dry. You can decorate the balls as you wish. For example, you can stick ribbons to the side faces or sprinkle them with lots of multi-colored sparkles. The main thing is that the result pleases you.

Chinese lantern decoration

Christmas decorations in the form of Chinese lanterns that you can make with your own hands will look very original. To do this, you will need the simplest materials:

• plastic bottle;
• ruler;
• marker;
• thin thread;
• beads;
• decorative elements (rhinestones, sequins, sparkles, etc.);
• scissors.

It is worth noting that there are several options for creating this toy. Let's look at one of them:

1. First you need to remove all unnecessary elements from the bottle (label, glue). This will be easier to do if you submerge it in water for a while.
2. Now take a measuring tape and apply it to the top of the bottle. We mark points in a circle that should be located at a distance of 1 cm from each other.
3. Then, at any point, you need to attach a ruler and draw a small line down. And make the same marks at the bottom of the bottle, near the bottom.
4. After that, we take the scissors and with rotating movements we make holes in each of the marks. You can also use an awl for this.
5. Now we make cuts between the upper and lower marks that you previously made. Gently fold up each resulting strip. And then select the middle and make another fold.
6. We take scissors and make holes in the middle of the bottom and cap of a plastic bottle.
7. Now you need to take a pre-prepared bead and thread it into a thread or wire. Connect the free ends together. It is only very important that the bead is in the middle of the thread. To do this, you can fix its position by twisting the wire several times. Then we thread the ends of the wire through the hole on the bottom and stretch along the entire length of the bottle to the hole in the cap. After that, the lid can be screwed on. The remaining thread or wire can be used to create a loop to hang the toy on the Christmas tree.
8. Marker marks can be removed with nail polish remover.

Turn on your imagination and decorate the plastic bottle toy as you please. The main thing is that your Christmas decoration is created with your own hands and with all your heart.

plastic garland

We have already seen that you don't need much for a festive atmosphere. And it is not necessary to spend big money on expensive New Year's toys and decorations. Continuing preparations for the New Year, we can create another Christmas tree decoration in the form of a garland of plastic bottles with our own hands. Such a do-it-yourself Christmas tree toy made of plastic bottles can attract the attention of even the most demanding guests.

For this you will need:

• electric garland;
• plastic bottles;
• wire;
• scissors.

Process of creation:

1. First, make sure that the LED garland you have chosen is working.
2. Then lay it out on the floor to get an idea of ​​how many plastic bottles you will need to make the craft.
3. After that, you need to cut off the bottom and cut a small hole in it to put the bulbs in it.
4. Carefully connect the resulting parts with wire.
5. As a result, you will get a beautiful flower garland!

There are several more options for do-it-yourself Christmas decorations from plastic bottles that will help you quickly decorate your house for the upcoming holiday.

Christmas tree decoration - pine cone

The cone toy will be a great addition to your holiday decor. To create one blank you will need:

• dark brown plastic bottle (2 l) - 1 pc.;
• green plastic bottle - 1 pc.;
• patterns of each layer;
• wire;
• pliers;
• large beads;
• scissors;
• candle;
• marker.

Main stages of work:

1. Before you get started, you need to prepare the available plastic bottles. You need to put them in soapy water and leave them there for a few hours. This is necessary in order to make it easier for you to clean it from the label and the adhesive layer.
2. After the bottle dries, you need to cut off its neck and bottom. As a result, you should get an oblong cylinder, which we cut along one of the side faces.
3. Now you need to take a marker and draw blanks of different sizes on the resulting rectangle - these will be the layers of our bump. Then we cut them out and make a hole in each with a red-hot awl, and in the smallest one (the core of the cone) - two. The wire will be threaded through these holes.
4. Now you need to shape each part to get a more natural look of the product. To do this, you will need pliers, it will be more convenient for you to hold the “layer” with them, and an ordinary candle. We take each blank and hold it over the fire for several seconds. After that, the plastic will begin to wrap inward and acquire the necessary shape. We repeat these steps with the rest of the parts. It is worth noting that during heating, plastic can release harmful substances that are dangerous to our body. Therefore, do this step with the windows ajar.
5. It's time to collect our bump. To do this, we take the wire and put each layer on it, starting with the largest.
6. After you have secured the last piece, take a large bead and thread it through the center of the product. This will be our core. And now pass the wire along the same path, only in the opposite direction. Twist its outer ends to twist them together, we still need them.
7. Now you need a green bottle. From it we will cut a blank resembling a twig. After that, bring it to the candle and process the edges. After that, you can attach it to the wire.
8. From the remaining parts of the brown bottle, you need to cut a thin strip. Then we heat it with fire and begin to gradually wrap the wire with it. But if you don't succeed, then you can take some brown beads and decorate the wire with them.

In this article, we looked at the easiest ways to create Christmas decorations with our own hands, while using an economical material - a plastic bottle.
