The New Year is definitely associated with the green beauty. The Christmas tree is a unique attribute that is inextricably linked with this holiday. It is decorated not only indoors, but also on the streets. It is against the backdrop of the festive coniferous tree that all New Year's events take place.
The most important city Christmas tree located on a large area (in the central room). It is often decorated with handmade New Year's toys. For this purpose, competitions are announced and prizes are given out, which motivates parents and children to create Christmas tree decoration. However, such toys must be able to withstand certain climatic conditions characteristic of a given area. The main material in the manufacture of outdoor Christmas tree decorations is plastic. Toys made from this raw material do not change their original shape in the event of snow, wind, or blizzard. To decorate a Christmas tree standing indoors, you can use cardboard, paper and other less durable materials at hand.
Anyone can take part in decorating the main city Christmas tree. To do this, you need to work hard on making a New Year's tree decoration, show imagination and patience. Don’t forget to involve your children in the process of making New Year’s toys for the city tree - these are wonderful memories that will warm your soul all your life.

New Year's toy for the city tree "Santa Claus"

To make such a toy for a street Christmas tree, you will need the following materials:

• Plastic disposable spoons, quantity of 100 pieces.
• Instant adhesive.
• An awl or a hook.
• Drill and drill bit for it, small size.
• Plastic caps from small bottles, 3 pieces (two of them dark, and one red).
• Large Christmas tree tinsel “silver”.
• A twine rope that will serve as a holder for the entire structure.
• Five-liter drinking water bottle.
• Gouache white and red paints.
• Paint brush, large and small sizes.

Having prepared everything you need, you can begin to complete all the stages of making a New Year’s toy for the city Christmas tree “Santa Claus”:

1. Using a drill in the drill chuck, a small hole is drilled in the cap of a five-liter bottle. It is necessary for installing the mounting structure.
2. A rope is threaded into the prepared gap using a hook or an awl and secured to the inside of the lid. It is the twine that will subsequently hold the Christmas tree decoration on the spruce branch.
3. The bottle, with a volume of five liters, is screwed on with a lid with a rope device.
4. The entire bottle is painted with prepared red gouache. Including the lid on it.
5. Next, time is given for it to dry completely.
6. Using scissors and disposable cutlery, elements of the Christmas tree decoration such as a beard, eyebrows and fur trim are created.
7. For plastic spoons, the holders and bridges are completely cut off, since to make the toy you only need a scoop.
8. Next, you should prepare instant glue, a painted bottle, and plastic scoops.
9. The principle of work to create “Santa Claus” should occur in a “top to bottom” order. That is, disposable spoons will be attached to the bottle starting from the top.
10. At the initial stage, a lid with a rope structure is decorated. The scoops of spoons overlap each other, with a small gap. That is, you should get a small bubo that will only cover the lid. But at the same time, the rope holder should look out of it.
11. Having created the initial look of the Santa Claus hat, you should finish it with the same materials. For further creation of toys, scoops are glued to the bottle along its entire axis. Moreover, they are joined together by the edge sides.
12. Next, you should outline where “Santa Claus” will have his eyes and nose. These parts of the body will be expressed as caps of small diameter. The eyes will be dark in color, and the nose, as expected, will be red. They should be secured with instant glue, which was used for gluing other materials.
13. Eyebrows will help add age to the toy “Grandfather”. They can also be made from plastic scoops. To do this, you need to take one disposable spoon without a handle and cut it into two identical halves. Each of which should be glued above the eyes in such a way as to create the illusion of eyebrows.
14. Then work begins on creating the “Santa Claus” beard. To complete this you will need glue and prepared scoops. Plastic spoons are glued on top of each other, starting below the nose of the toy “Grandfather”. And the glued layer ends, a little short of reaching the edge of the bottle. The gaps between the scooped parts are small, but they should be glued to each other, as it were. This creates volume in the beard.
15. Further along the edge of the bottle, and in this case Santa Claus’s fur coat, scoops of plastic spoons are attached. Thus, these actions will highlight the lapels of the grandfather’s fur sheepskin coat. They are attached edge-to-edge to each other, but in no case stacked on top of one another.
16. Now you should apply Creative skills. To do this you will need white gouache and a brush, preferably a zero brush. With the help of such an art set, you need to complete the face of “Grandfather”. Namely, in those places where it is necessary to highlight front part, paint over the redness with white. All actions are performed slowly and carefully, trying not to touch other parts.
17. The finishing touches to making a Christmas tree decoration include attaching silver tinsel to the almost finished Santa Claus exhibit. This decoration is rightfully considered the most elegant and festive. It gives fun and naturalness to the made toy.

Having done a lot of work and shown a lot of patience, you can safely attach your creation to the main New Year's tree in the city.

New Year's toy for the city tree "Snowman"

The voluminous figure of a snowman will definitely attract the attention of everyone who is invited to the festive New Year's event. This character is also considered a New Year's character, along with Father Frost and the Snow Maiden.

To complete the “Snowman” craft, you will need not only physical strength, but also material costs. But the result will certainly please not only the performer, but also all those who will contemplate this New Year’s work. Before starting work, you should prepare the following materials:

• Disposable plastic cups (three hundred pieces).
• Black printed cardboard.
• Medium size office stapler.
• A piece of felt fabric.
• Staples for threading fastening tools, preferably No. 10.
• Children's plasticine, orange.
• Instant glue.
• Tennis balls.
• Black paint.
• Paint brush.
• New Year's electric garland.
• Connected Warm scarf.
• Colored paper set.
• Packaging cardboard paper.
• PVA glue.
• Stationery scissors.
• Metallized foil “gold”.
• Stationery knife.

Performing work on the manufacture of a large New Year's toy on city ​​tree The Snowman takes place in several stages, but they are all inextricably linked. And therefore it cannot be said that there is something important here, and something secondary.

1. The main task of the craft is to create balls, a kind of torso of the "Snowman". First you should start working on the lower part of the structure. To implement it you will need plastic cups, a stapler and staples for it. The first main circle is laid out, that is, the very beginning. You need to take twenty-five glasses, and fasten them together, place them in a circle. But at the same time, one should not forget that the bottoms of the cups should be inside the formed circle. That is, it turns out that only the edges of the plastic dishes need to be fastened.
2. The next circle is formed on top of the laid one. The cups are also stacked upside down inside the circle, but at the same time each of them lies in a hollow between the two lower ones and all this is fixed between themselves and the previous row, forming a single structure. But when assembling, you must not forget that in each row it is necessary to retreat a little from the edge. That is, as if forming a regular geometric figure.
3. Continuing also to collect cups, the number of circles should be eight. But at the same time, you do not need to pile up plastic dishes, creating a ball. It should be remembered that the cavity must remain level, otherwise there will be nowhere to put the second “snowball”.
4. Having finished with the base of the "Snowman", you can safely proceed to his head. It is performed in the same way as the torso. But when creating it, some nuances should be taken into account. They consist in the fact that the ball should have a finished appearance and a smaller size, unlike the base.
5. To complete the head of the "Snowman" it will take eighteen plastic cups. They are laid out in the form of a circle in the same way as the previous ones. In this case, one should not forget about reducing the diameter of the ball and the completeness of the geometric figure.
6. Next, you need to collect these two “snowballs”, forming an excellent “Snowman” figure. They are assembled with staples and a stapler. The New Year's character is ready.
7. Then you should proceed to highly artistic work. After all, it is she who will create the complete image of the "Snowman". Using tennis balls, you can try to make the eyes of a snowman. To do this you will need black paint and a brush. Using a paint brush, paint the tennis balls black. And leave them until the paint is completely dry.
8. The next steps to get eyes for the Snowman are activities such as cutting and gluing. Here you will need: colored paper, scissors and PVA glue. From any paper bright color, cut out small circles correct form. They are glued to black tennis balls and are a kind of pupils. Now you can safely insert them into cups that should be eyes.
9. The most important attribute of snowmen has always been made from carrots. But in this case, the nose must be molded from plasticine. Since its texture will allow you to better gain a foothold on the plastic model. Well, by showing the hidden talents of the sculptor and artist, you can get a very good copy. Also, with the help of scissors, glue and colored paper, the "Snowman" can quite acquire colored buttons. And they will be a bright accent on his snow-white body. A warm scarf purchased on occasion will add a special charm to the craft. And if you tie it correctly, it will help to hide all the fastening seams from prying eyes. And there are a lot of them between the body and head. So we can say that this accessory performs several functions at the same time.
10. The city New Year's tree is considered an official reception. And therefore you need to look decent. And “The Snowman” in this case is no exception. To add solemnity, he should build a top hat. To make such a headdress you will need necessary materials, described above. The packaging cardboard must first be painted black. After drying, a circle is cut out of it, inside of which another one is cut. That is, the shape of a bagel is obtained.
11. The cylinder itself is made from printing cardboard using a stapler or glue. It will be attached to the base, that is, the donut. The top of the cylinder can be closed with a circle cut from the same material. Its diameter must completely match the dimensions of the cylinder.
12. Metallized foil can be used to cover all seams between the crown and brim. As a small headband, it may well do a good job.
13. For a more stable position of the “Snowman” on the surface, a felt base will be useful. Well, if you want to surprise everyone, then you can install a garland inside the snow man.

Thanks to the imagination and perseverance of the performer, a rather unusual New Year's decoration can be obtained. And while it hangs on the main tree, everyone can admire it. You can make balls from plastic cups.

City New Year tree toys made from plastic bottles

To create a beautiful New Year's tree decoration, you can originally paint ordinary plastic bottles and carboys. It is important to choose the right paints.

• The best product for coloring plastic bottles- colored acrylic varnish that can be applied with a brush, but it is best to apply this coloring component from spray cans.
• It is advisable to choose acrylic paints without aggressive components. Using this type of paint for making toys for street tree, it is necessary on top of the dried paint, cover the product with a transparent acrylic varnish. This will prevent the paint from cracking on the surface.
• Automotive paints are also used to color plastic; they adhere well to the surface and give a bright, rich color to the New Year's tree toy.
• Enamel. Classic enamel paints are also well suited for painting plastic toys for a New Year's street tree. They can be applied with a brush or sponge.

You can paint a bottle for a future toy both inside and outside. The inside of the bottle is often painted by drawing paint diluted with a solvent into a syringe. By inserting a syringe into the neck of the bottle, squeeze a stream of paint into the container and turn the bottle in a circle, evenly distributing the paint over the entire surface. Then turn the bottle over and allow the remaining paint to drain.
Before proceeding with painting the outside, it must be washed, dried, the labels removed, and then wiped with a degreasing solution. By the way, vodka is suitable for these purposes. First, paint the bottom and let it dry. Putting the container on the newspaper with the painted bottom down, continue to cover the toy with paint.

If desired, for a short time you can make a whole army of paper Santa Clauses, with which it is easy to decorate an entire Christmas tree.

• Cut out two large circles from beige and red colored paper. Also prepare many small white paper circles, one smaller red one, two very small black dots and a thin white stripe.

• Cut the largest circles in half and glue them together so that the beige part is on the bottom.

• Place white circles in several rows along the edge of the flesh-colored part, forming something like a cloud—grandfather’s beard. Glue the same element onto the red hat as a bubo.

• A glued white strip will mark the boundaries of the hat and face. Immediately below it, attach black beady eyes and a small red nose.

Use large crafts to decorate your doors, replacing traditional Christmas wreaths. To get a Christmas tree toy, glue two small figures with their back sides to each other - before doing this, glue the edges of a thread loop between them, with which you will hang the toy on the Christmas tree.

Flower ball

The decoration turns out to be so delicate, airy and beautiful that you can easily present it as a gift to your friends. You will need a flower hole punch for scrapbooking. If you don’t have one, regular scissors and your patience will come to the rescue.

In addition, prepare a foam ball-shaped blank and sewing pins with round tips to match the paper.

• Cut out lots of small flowers.

• Start attaching the flowers, two at a time, to the foam blank close to each other in a chaotic manner - to do this, pierce their centers with pins and stick their point all the way into the ball.

It’s not difficult to make a loop for hanging such a toy - pierce the ball with a needle in one place and widen it a little. Take a wide ribbon and cut enough so that when folded in half, it forms a loop that makes it easy to hang the figurine on the Christmas tree.

Prepare as best you can more snowflakes to get a long decoration. Place a weight on a long thick thread or ribbon. Next, pull it through the hole in the center of the first snowflake. Now put on the tape in turn all the rays of the paper blank - you should get a semblance of a three-dimensional flashlight.

At the end of the garland, also put on a weighting agent in the form of a bead - it will slightly flatten the snowflakes, compacting them with each other.

Frost patterns

This multi-colored garland in cool shades will give the impression of frosty patterns in your room. Prepare paper of blue, cyan, purple colors.

• Inflate a round shaped balloon.

• Wrap the threads around the ball in a thick layer and coat generously with glue. Leave the workpiece to dry completely in a warm, ventilated area.

• When the glue has completely dried and the threads have hardened with it, forming a kind of frame, pierce the ball with a needle to burst it, and pull out the remains through the hole.

The toy is ready! Such decorations can not only be hung on the Christmas tree, but also placed in a pyramid on the table as decoration.

Little Christmas tree

• Using simple circular knitting, make a green cone - the crown of the Christmas tree - its edge should be the same diameter as the base.

• Stuff the toy with soft material and connect its parts.

DIY street tree toys

No one will guess that there is a five-liter bottle inside this one. Want to make one like this? Then find a suitable plastic container and paint it with paint from a can. You can use blue and white. Make the beard and hair from foam balls, fixing them with silicone. The nose will be a bottle cap, the eyes can be bought at a craft store, and the mouth will be a piece of red plastic. The craft is decorated with silver tinsel.

There is still plenty of time before the New Year; you can make all these decorations and even come up with something of your own. The more crafts you make, the more elegant the street spruce or pine tree will look.
