We invite you to familiarize yourself with interesting selection ideas, the main theme of which will be the most famous winter holiday - New Year 2016.

Today we'll talk about minor, but very pleasant little things, presentations and just gizmos designed to decorate a room with our own hands.

A great idea for symbolic congratulations to friends and family and colleagues on the winter holidays. Present candy will be enjoyed by both large and small. After all, everyone loves sweets?

So, what do you need to create a sweet candy presentation for friends and family:

• Sweets. The main thing is that they are small and have individual packaging. Small candies, such as pops, lollipops, or gum, are perfect. Do not use quickly perishable sweets.
• Cardboard cylinder. You can use a roll of toilet paper or paper towels.

Or you can independently build a cylinder from not very thick cardboard.

• Scissors.
• PVA glue and / or tape.
• Variegated paper. You can take a wrapper or make a printout on a printer.
• Decor tape. In this situation, cellophane-based gift wrapping tape is a good choice.

Let's get started, a master class of gifts on NG

Let's start by measuring how much paper we have taken in order to wrap the cylinders and leave an allowance of about 5 centimeters at the ends of the cylinder.

Tip: if you have not found a suitable cylinder and decided to make them out of cardboard, then do not take thick cardboard. Cardboard from cereal packaging is fine. And don't make your top hats too long. 15-20 centimeters will be enough.

Now you need to wrap the cylinders with paper. Measure the same distance on the allowances and secure the paper on one side, leaving a makeshift skirt. Secure the paper with tape.

Then you need to decorate the place of bonding gift ribbon... To heighten the effect, the ends of the wrapping tape can be divided and curled with scissors.

Now fill the top hat with sweets. If desired, you can put miniature additional gifts in the form of souvenirs between the sweets. The cylinder should be filled with sweets to the brim, remembering that the paper allowance is not a continuation of the cylinder. If you don't put in enough candy filler, then after you close the other end of the presentation, will the candies rustle and even make noise? possibly warp the memento inside.

After the candy has been filled with sweets, you need to carefully close the second end of the presentation and decorate it with a ribbon in the manner of the first end. Now you can give or hang funny sweet decorations on the tree.

Creative idea number 2. Christmas tree decoration "List of gifts"

Everyone loves to receive gifts, both big and small. On New Year's Eve, you have to remember so much and acquire so much, and then give gifts that you can easily confuse who wanted what. So that such an opportunity does not come out, take on board the idea of ​​a list of gifts that will perfectly find its place on your Christmas tree and no one will be forgotten and everyone will receive their gift.

So what do you need to create original decoration:

• Several wooden spools of thread. Each for a family member.
• Thicker paper.
• Glue.
• Dye. Choose any. The main thing is bright.
• Thread or thin ribbon.
• Pencil.

Let's get started with the gift idea

Let's start by preparing the coils. They should be painted in the color of your choice. Now you need to cut strips of paper from thick paper. The width should be slightly less than the width of the coil itself, and approximately 20-25 centimeters long.

Next, you need to connect the spool and a strip of paper. This must be done with glue. When the gluing site is completely dry, the strip must be wound onto a spool. Moreover, she will constantly strive to unwind back. You can additionally fix it beautiful ribbon... Or a thin paper eraser.

After that, you need to make a loop for hanging. Thread the thread or string you have prepared through the hole in the spool.

And now let every family man write what he wants to get for the New Year and hang his list on the Christmas tree. By the way, a very resourceful way for parents to find out what their child wants to receive as a gift.

Unusual gift idea no. 3. New Year's topiary

Topiary firmly captured the hearts of handmakers, although they have no practical function. Their main task is to please the eye and decorate the room.

In addition, topiary can be made from almost any material and for any reason. Therefore, these crafts can also be called universal gifts. We will offer you several options.

So, what do you need to make a topiary timed to coincide with the New Year:

• Newspaper.
• Scissors.
• Sintepon.
• Threads.
• Hot melt glue.
• Spruce cones.
• Old Christmas tree toys or something similar.
• Elements for decoration at your discretion (all kinds of beads, buttons, tinsel, sparkles, etc.).
• Sisal.
• Support in the form of a stick. You can take any strong, relatively flat and thick branch.
• Gypsum.
• Small plastic flowerpot.

Let's get started phased implementation

First you need to roll a ball of newsprint. Then rewrap it with another page. Naturally crumpled newspaper sheets will not keep their shape, so wrap your ball with thread for reliability.

The resulting ball needs to be pasted over with padding polyester. Hot melt glue works well for this purpose.
After you have pasted over the ball with padding polyester, it's time to glue the cones and toys.

Glue the object to the ball in two steps. First, the most voluminous and largest elements, then everything that is smaller. You guessed it, it will be top part your topiary.

After large and small items are glued, we start gluing small decorative elements. It's time to fill the space between the cones with sisal and glue small additional details. Do not forget to leave room for the "leg" of the topiary.

Using scissors, carefully remove the synthetic winterizer in the designated place. Insert the support into the resulting hole and fix it with glue.

After that, you need to make a solid base for your topiary. To do this, take a flowerpot and fill it three quarters with gypsum, add water. Stir the gypsum, you should get a solution like sour cream. Insert a plaster of Paris "trunk" of the topiary and hold until secured. Try to keep your topiary level and not "fall" in any direction.

After the gypsum has set, you can start decorating the pot. You can cover the gypsum with padding polyester, or tinsel, or you can simply cover it with colored beads.

Mandarins and New Year are just inseparable. We propose to dream up on this topic and make a bright topiary in the form of a tangerine tree.

• Small tangerines.
• Thin rope or thick thread. The structure should be smooth.
• PVA glue.
• Plastic flower pot.
• Strong branch, preferably not straight.
• Scissors.
• Stationery knife.
• Foam rubber or polystyrene. Preferably dense.
• The branches were eating. With short needles.
• Wire.
• Small foam crumbs.
• Artificial leaves(optional).

Tangerine tree step-by-step master class

The foam must be shaped into a pot into which it must fit tightly. Then insert the foam into the pot and a branch into the foam. The branch should fit tightly into the foam and not have a shank.
Now you need to arrange the top of your topiary. The tangerines need to be stapled together. For this purpose, use the free ends of the wire or pins.

Now you need to attach the makeshift crown of their tangerines to the "trunk" of the topiary. This can be done with rope or wire. The main thing is that the mount is strong.
The styrofoam in the pot can be covered with the remaining spruce twigs and artificial leaves.

To make your Christmas tree shine with originality and originality, we offer you an idea for creating Christmas tree toys from twigs.

So what do you need:

• Branches from a tree.
• Spruce twigs. Can be replaced with artificial ones.
• Superglue or heat gun.
• Scissors.
• Colored buttons or beads.
• Dratva or braid. Paper twine will look good.
• A patch of thick fabric, like felt.

Use scissors or side cutters to prepare the branches. You will need 4 long branches and 4 short ones. In the future, you have to form some kind of snowflake out of them.

You can take any form. In order for the branches to keep their shape, they should be glued to dense fabric. First, four long ones are glued, in our case they form a kind of cross. Between the long ones you need to glue the short ones.

Let's start decorating. Add small spruce branches to the glued branches. Place a few buttons or beads in the center. Fix everything with glue. You can add a bow connected with a rope to the composition. It also needs to be glued.

Now you need to make a loop for hanging and glue it to the back. snowflakes ... That's all. The idea is quite simple and does not require a lot of resources and time. But she is very original. And it will perfectly emphasize the originality of your New Year's tree.

Are the jewelry made in the following way beautifully? will act as decorations for a Christmas tree or as elements for decorating a room.

So, what do you need to create Christmas decorations from threads:

• Knitting. It is advisable to take not too thick "porous" yarn.
• PVA glue.
• Driving.
• Mixing utensils.
• A piece of styrofoam.
• Matches or toothpicks.
• Paper blanks of simple geometric shapes, you can take trees and stars.

We make a craft from threads

We start by mixing glue and water. Glue and water are taken in approximately equal parts. Stir the mixture well.

Now we need to prepare a template for future work. To do this, matches or broken toothpicks must be placed in the required order on the foam. For this purpose, you can print blanks of simple shapes such as a tree or a star, and already focusing on them to make templates.

The yarn must be soaked in a solution of PVA and water. The thread should be completely saturated, but it is better to squeeze out the excess a little. For convenience, it is better to tie a thread to the very first match. And then, following the contours of the matches, lay the thread counterclockwise. Watch the thread tension. It should lie flat, not be taut, but not sag. The first to fit the contour, then the middle is laid. You can use all possible curls here. After filling the product completely, leave it to dry.

Drying time of the product depends on environment, thread structure, glue. After the product is completely dry, remove it from the template. Attach the hanging loop. That's all. Original Christmas decoration ready.

We think you will find at home a couple of scraps of fabric, fruit lying around on the shelves of the refrigerator and hidden away from your eyes, far away from sweets. And for pine branches and cones, of course, you will have to go into the forest.

DIY felt toys

Working with felt is a pleasure. In addition, for the New Year, you can make many interesting crafts, ranging from ordinary toys to Christmas decorations and snowflakes. Since the Fire Monkey is the symbol of the upcoming 2016 year, we suggest starting with sewing this particular toy.

You need:

• felt 2-3 ml thick brown, beige and pink;
• brown threads;
• synthetic winterizer;
• 2 black beads;
• needle;
• scissors.

How to sew a monkey:

1. Print or draw templates for all parts. Carefully cut and apply to felt.
2. When all the details have been transferred to the fabric, cut them out.
3. Take every detail of the future monkey and place them in their places.
4. Sew each part of the body separately with overlock stitches, leaving a small hole below for stuffing.
5. Fill the toy with padding polyester and sew up the rest.

DIY Christmas tree toys

Ordinary multi-colored glass balls are already fed up with everything. And if you consider that the symbol of the New Year 2016 is a cheerful monkey, she is unlikely to like such decorations on the Christmas tree. She loves fruits and sweets, so this year do not be lazy to make toys with your own hands, using any of the monkey's treats.

Here are a few interesting ideas decoration of the New Year tree with fruits and dried fruits.

Also, similar to the sewing pattern for a monkey, you can make toys for a Christmas tree out of felt. Unlike those bought in the store, hand-made crafts bring a lot of joy and positiveness.

Using ordinary pine cones from the forest, you can make interesting New Year's crafts. Try to start simple - take a pine cone that looks a lot like a tousled hedgehog and cut that hedgehog out of it. Do not forget to glue the eyes from small black beads, decorate the nose at your discretion - a black bead or cut from a cone.

Snowflakes on a Christmas tree made of salt dough

Since the symbol of 2016 came to us from warm countries, you should not frighten him with an abundance of snow. If you cannot imagine the New Year without snowflakes, try to mold them from salt dough or sew them from felt. You already know how to work with felt, so let's look at how to make a snowflake out of dough.

To make this snowflake, mix 1 tbsp. flour with 1 tbsp. fine salt, add 125 ml of water and knead the dough like on dumplings. Roll out the dough to a thickness of about 0.5 cm and cut out the figures in the form of snowflakes, make a hole for the ribbon. Now, for strength, they need to harden, to do this, leave them to dry on a wooden or plastic surface, or dry them in an open oven at a temperature of 60-80 ° C.

Snowflakes made from unpainted salt dough are attractive in themselves. If you wish, you can cover them with golden paint from a spray can or decorate with gouache, decorate with sparkles and rhinestones.

From the cone, you can come up with a lot of crafts that are easy to do with your own hands. Now let's try to make an angel to decorate the Christmas tree.

Take a pine cone elongated shape, cover it with golden paint - this will be the body of an angel. For the head, find a wooden or plastic ball, use superglue to attach it to the body. Draw a singing mouth and eyes with a thin brush. Braid the braids out of knitting thread and glue them to the head. The finishing touch is a chiffon ribbon raincoat.

DIY Christmas candles

Step 1... Take a few oranges, carefully cut the peel with a knife around the circumference, being careful not to damage the orange (this will make it easier to separate it from the peel).

Step 2.Pour melted wax into one half, fix the wick, or simply arrange teapots from the store.

Step 3.In the second half of the peel, make holes with a knife at your discretion: in the form of a heart, stars, etc.

Step 4.Light the wick and cover the candle with an orange cap.

And, of course, a large number of variations of crafts for the New Year can be made on the theme of a Christmas wreath. It can be made from spruce or pine branches, as well as from the most unexpected materials. Since the symbol of 2016 loves fruits and sweets, it is better to decorate the Christmas wreath with dried lemon and orange slices, spirals of sliced ​​citrus peels, nuts, whole tangerines, cinnamon sticks, as well as candies, cookies and other hand-baked sweets.

Also for decorating a Christmas wreath you can use Pine cones, both natural color and bleached or coated with golden paint. To whiten buds beautifully, leave them in water with regular bleach, mixed in a 1: 1 ratio, for several hours, then rinse and dry.

Now try making a DIY Christmas wreath.

Step 1... The very first thing you need is the foundation. You can use wire, cardboard, an old metal hanger, etc. Make a frame in the shape of a circle.

Step 2... To add volume to the base, wrap it with paper or foam rubber. Secure the edges with tape or thread.

Step 3... Tie the prepared frame with fresh pine branches in one direction, securing each with a strong thread. Fill in any gaps with small twigs.

Step 4... Decorate the Christmas wreath to your liking. Fix each part with a heat gun or good glue.

Stencils on the windows for the New Year

Decorated the Christmas tree and walls, decorated the interior for the New Year interesting crafts, windows were left without attention. Since the Fire Monkey commands the year 2016, we need stencils (vytynanki) with the image of monkeys to decorate the windows. Of course, you can paint the glass with paint, but will it be easy to remove all this beauty? Besides, not everyone can draw beautifully. And stencils in this case are what you need.

It is better to print the drawing on a printer, but if you do not have it at hand, you can redraw any template you like on paper from the computer screen. Just enlarge the image to the right size Using the Ctrl button, attach a sheet of white paper and draw a pencil around the outline. Then on the table you can sharpen the outline. The stencil is ready. It remains only to cut it out with nail scissors and stick it on the window with soapy water.

Do not be lazy to turn on your imagination and decorate the house for the New 2016 with your own hands. Just look around and you can always find the materials you need for cute and original crafts.
