And how to make a festive gnome for a Christmas tree from a cone is shown in this video:

Good afternoon, today I want to show what interesting crafts can be made from cones for the New Year. Cones are free natural material, which can be used to create original jewelry on the tree Cones can decorate the New Year's table setting. New Year's painted cones can become part of a festive composition in home decor for the New Year. Many crafts are suitable for children. As well as ideas for adult cone design. Let's see what New Year's crafts you can create with your own hands based on cones (pine and spruce).

DIY toys

from cones with their own hands.

For those who know how to knit (crochet or knitting), or sew from felt, it will not be difficult to create such winter men on skis or sleds. We make the body of little men from the opened pine cone. The head is made of a ping-pong ball or a small foam ball, toned in beige gouache. We make skis from ice cream sticks, ski poles are simple toothpicks, fluffy wire handles. Children's New Year's creativity from natural material is a good idea for classes at home or in the lessons of work and art at school.

By the same principle, you can put snowmen or penguins on skis. The snowman's head can be made of a furry white pompom (as in the photo of the New Year's crafts below). Or you can make a head from a foam ball, from cotton (mix cotton with PVA glue and roll into a round ball, dry and use as a head of a snowman craft from a cone.

But the author's penguins - small (from a pine cone) and large (from a long spruce cone). The head of the penguin is made of a white foam ball, which is painted with black gouache. Headphones made of wire wrapped in woolen thread and two small fur pompoms. Black wings-paws of penguins are cut out of felt or formiam.

You can make a whole flock of penguins in red out of pine cones. Christmas caps.. Penguin wings can be made from black plasticine, or pieces of tree bark (as in the photo below). Kids will love this DIY craft.

And if you glue big round eyes and a hook nose to a round pine cone, then we get an OWL. We make wings from felt, or formiam, or from a piece of leather (leatherette). Owl caps can be glued from bright paper napkins with a New Year's pattern (this is how our cone owls will look festive).

If you buy pieces of felt (it comes in sheets like paper, and you can buy small sheets in different colors) you can create a whole series of funny Christmas animals based on a cone.

Cone pendant toys

On the Christmas tree with your own hands.

And here is another idea for the New Year, where pendants are made from cones to decorate the Christmas tree. Here everything is done according to the principle - at the bottom there is a bump, at the top is the head of the character. Big-headed cones - do-it-yourself crafts available for activities with children.

The simplest thing is to take a foam ball, stick a nose and button eyes on it. The nose can be cut from a thick piece orange felt. Or the nose can be molded from cotton wool soaked in PVA glue, when it hardens, such pva-wool becomes hard like wood (a convenient material for crafts, especially since any color of gouache can be mixed into pva glue and we get not only a durable part, but also necessary for you colors).

With the help of felt or fluffy wire, wings may appear at the cone, and then such a craft can be designed as an angel or fairy.

new year characters,

made from cones.

If the cone is painted red with gouache, then you get the basis for Santa Claus crafts. It is better not to paint a bump with a brush. And immediately immersed in a plastic cup with paint. Pour PVA glue into a glass - add red gouache there. We dip the whole cone into this coloring mess.

Important! Save your money. Do not buy PVA in small tubes in stationery. Go to the construction department of the store and buy PVA in a liter bucket (at a price it will be 4-7 times cheaper).

Crafts from cones look very nice, in which red elements are added - ribbons, beads, felt. This is a great idea for children's New Year's cone crafts - and it's simple, quick and easy for a child.

You can also make CHRISTMAS crafts from cones and other natural and improvised materials. Can be used as wings for angels puffy ribbons, lace patterns. You can crochet openwork angel wings with your own hands if you have ever knitted napkins. You can make a whole Christmas scene with a newborn baby Jesus in a cradle from cones and pieces of felt (or fleece).

Decorative Christmas cones

With my own hands.

And here are samples of crafts with cones decorated for the new year. As a decor, we use sprigs of needles from the Christmas tree, green leaves from indoor plants, or torn from a bouquet, small cones of alder, pieces of moss, beads, balls, bells, bright ribbons and shiny paper.

Decorated cones that are pre-painted (dipped in a glass with colored PVA glue) look very beautiful and festive. After painting and drying, the bump should be sprinkled with hairspray - the color will become brighter and the bump will begin to shine like a glossy one. And on a bump wet from varnish, you can quickly sprinkle glitter (sprinkle for nails is suitable).

In the craft store you can buy small figurines of birds. They will look great not on top of your New Year's bump. Birds can make nests from Christmas tree needles, decorate them with red beads.

And the cones themselves can be decorated with beads from beads, or small pom-pom balls, slipping them between the scales and fixing them with hot glue.

And the cones can also be folded together - into a snowball star. We lay out six snowflakes on the table - buttocks together - tips apart. And glue them with hot hot glue from a gun. We cover the gluing place with a snowflake cut out of cardboard, spruce paws, beads or a small bump (the tip is cut off from a large bump).

New Year crafts

from SCALES cones.

But interesting way make crafts from cones for the new year. If you take and pull out the scales from the cones. One of them can (as from natural puzzles) assemble any pattern or three-dimensional shape.

For example, cut out a star from cardboard. And we lay out the scales on the glue along the contour of this star, gradually, row by row, getting to the middle. Kids will love this craft school age- only the scales need to be pulled in advance.

You can simply lay out a flower from cone scales on a round piece of cardboard. You also need to start FROM THE EDGES of the cardboard circle, and row after row to the middle of the flower. To reverse side flower we glue lace from fabric or a snowflake from paper. We get elegant openwork crafts for the New Year.

And also with scales from the cone you can decorate paper cone. So we get Christmas tree crafts made from natural cone material (as in the photo below).

And here's another interesting one New Year's craft. We take packages from milk (small size). We paint them in white gouache, and draw black stripes on top (we imitate the color of birch bark). We cut a round hole in one of the sides of the box. And the top of the milk box (it is shaped like a house-roof) is pasted over with cone scales on hot thermo-glue from a gun. And we get such a (photo below) New Year's craft in the form of bird houses. Very beautiful and unusual.

And also scales can be pasted over the snowman's foam tummy - put on him such a fur coat of cones. Beautiful craft for older children.

Cones on wreaths

and New Year's panels on the wall.

Very interesting decorative panels can be made from cones. If you make any shape from the slats (for example, a star), then you can glue it with cones - and you get an original New Year's craft that can be hung on the wall, leaned against the wall next to the Christmas tree. You can wrap this cone star with a garland, make it illuminated with light bulbs.

Armed with glue from a gun, you can assemble an openwork snowflake craft from cones. And also use it as a panel on the wall.

And if you have a small number of cones, you can make a wall panel from another natural material, and use the cones as an additional decoration.

Christmas wreaths can also be made from cones. To do this, they can be painted in any color (dipped in pva glue, tinted with gouache, or covered with spray paint).

We make a wreath on the basis of a wooden or cardboard ring. We attach the cones to the base ring with glue.

New Year's compositions

With cones.

for table decoration.

Also, cones can become part of the New Year's composition that decorates your holiday table for the New Year. You can simply spread the colored cones on the table between dishes and glasses. Or you can hang them on a chandelier for bright ribbons or hang them on the edge of the table (as in the photo below).

You can also make a serving boutonniere out of cones to decorate the plate of each guest.

It looks beautiful if you choose the same color for a shiny topping under the color of the cone. Make the buds sparkle and sparkle like frosty patterns on a winter window.

You yourself can come up with various compositions with cones and other material. Your fantasies of interesting "unnecessary things" found in your desk drawer can become a source of original exclusive crafts from cones with your own hands.

Candlesticks with cones

With my own hands.

In the same way, candles can be included in your desktop New Year's arrangement of cones. You can simply arrange candles in a beautiful dish and spread around the cones, painted in shades close to the color of the candles.

If you are making a craft where all the cones are glued together, then when assembling such a glue cone heap, insert pieces of plastic tubes inside - you can insert candles into these places. When gluing, make sure that the candle holder tubes are glued strictly vertically - otherwise your candles will not stand in even columns, but at random.

You can do it easier. Put a glass on a cardboard circle. And around it, glue cones, pine branches, berries, stars carved from birch bark and orange peel on cardboard with glue.

That is, to create a candlestick, any method of decor is suitable. Or we put a candle inside a ring of cones and natural material. Or glue (tie with a ribbon) natural material to the body of the candle itself. Or we put a candle inside a tall glass and around it we put cones and other tinsel right into the glass (as in the third photo below).

Christmas tree crafts

From pine cones.

And also your New Year's compositions from cones can be decorated as high PYRAMID CHRISTMAS. Such Christmas trees can be folded from ordinary cones, painted in gold paint from a spray can. And you can decorate them with ribbons, felt flowers, small Christmas balls(also glue them with hot glue).

These are my ideas for the New Year 2018. Let these works inspire you. And let your cones bloom with DIY ideas in your capable hands.
