Ded Moroz and Snegurochka

The New Year is unthinkable without the main characters of the holiday - Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden. They are quite simple to make using colored paper in blue (blue), red, white, yellow color to cut out the elements of New Year's figurines yourself.

A circle is cut out of blue paper for the Snow Maiden, and from red paper for Santa Claus. The circles are cut to the middle, folded into a cone and glued together, getting the bases of the figures. Separately, a flat kokoshnik is cut out for the Snow Maiden, small cuts are made on the cone and the resulting element is inserted into them. Previously, the face of the figurine, drawn on a white oval, is glued onto the kokoshnik, and a yellow braid is attached to the back. For greater realism, you can make small cone arms, decorate the bottom of the Snow Maiden's coat with white fringe.

Santa Claus is painted a face, glued to the base cone. Then cut out a small red cone-cap. A mandatory element of decoration is a thick beard; if desired, you can make a bag with gifts.

To make the figures of the main New Year's characters more durable and voluminous, you can use colored cardboard instead of paper. To make a fringe or beard, white paper is cut into thin strips, each strip is wound around a pen or pencil - it will turn out voluminous. You can decorate ready-made figures at your discretion with snowflakes, stars, pieces of cotton wool.

5. Insert a pencil into each sector, wrap the edges, glue.
6. For each ball you need 4 blanks, they are allowed to dry.

3D star

popular toy for Christmas tree is a pointed star. It crowns the top of the tree, gives the decoration a complete look. To make the product look more realistic, you can make a three-dimensional 3D star out of colored paper.

Completing of the work:

1. Two identical squares are cut out - the size and color are arbitrary.
2. The blanks are folded in half twice, two more times diagonally.
3. A fragment of the toy is unfolded - the fold lines are clearly visible.
4. Each corner is wrapped inward to the fold (like a children's airplane).
5. The edges of the corners are glued according to the principle of paper bags for volume.
6. The second fragment of the toy is performed similarly.
7. Connect the blanks with the inner part to each other crosswise, glue.
