Hello, friends! Well, have you already started New Year's Eve fuss? Yesterday we finally bought an artificial one, but the truth is that there is still nothing special to decorate it with. Therefore, an interesting idea came to my mind about how to make Christmas decorations with my own hands.

I want to invite you to do this exciting business. So throw laziness aside, call your kids and start creating New Year's!

After all, in any case, you have paper, glue, plastic bottles and other materials at hand. Well, there is, right? That's all we need today. From them you can make the faces of little animals, and carved ones, as well as the Snow Maiden and Santa Claus and a bunch of other wonderful decorations. So do not think for a long time, but rather start the fun process.

Moreover, there will be more than enough ideas for such an undertaking. I, as always, tried and found from the Internet the best options for making toys for the Christmas tree. And if you are ready, then we begin. 😉

Do not forget that in any case you need to use your own imagination. Only in this way you can get amazing and exclusive souvenirs.

DIY Christmas tree toys from improvised materials for children

First of all, I want to offer you interesting ideas for creating jewelry from different and almost any materials that are in every home.

Be sure to involve your children in creativity, because it is they who are most waiting for this magical holiday - the New Year. And they will be extremely pleased to hang toys that they will make themselves on the Christmas tree.

I suggest you make an interesting decoration in the form of a small Christmas tree from an egg tray.

"Christmas tree from an egg tray"

You will need:

• gouache;
• Super glue;
• paper packaging from eggs;
• scissors;
• brushes;
• PVA glue;
• thread;
• pencil.

Manufacturing process:

1. Take a paper egg carton and cut out 5-7 cells. Cut out the details from them as shown in the photo. Cut one of the cells in half, this will be the top.

2. Glue the pieces together to form a tree. Roll the parts that came out of the halves into a cone and glue at the top.

3. Take green gouache and paint the workpiece.

4. Cut out decorations from the remnants of paper packaging, and if necessary, glue them together. Make small balls from a mixture of small pieces of paper and PVA glue.

5. Color in the decorations.

6. Decorate the Christmas tree by gluing all the decor. Don't forget to glue the thread with which you will weigh the toy.

7. Cover the product with a transparent varnish, dry. All is ready!

If you are a lover of expensive wine, then after emptying the bottle, do not rush to part with its cork. Collect them. And they will come in handy at the right time. For example, apply them for the following purpose.

"Wine Cork Souvenir"

You will need:

• 6 natural corks from wine bottles;
• natural twine;
• Super glue;
• scissors;
• confetti, small beads.

Manufacturing process:

1. Carefully cut each cork with a knife into 3 equal parts.

The knife must be sharp so that the corks do not crumble.

2. You should end up with 18 pieces.

3. Now lay out small triangles from these pieces on a hard surface. One triangle should consist of 6 pieces of traffic jams. There should be 3 triangles in total.

4. Glue each resulting triangle.

5. Cut three 40 cm ropes from the twine.

6. Tie each rope in the middle, forming a loop.

7. Take a dried triangle, attach a knot of loops to the top, while smearing the place of their contact with glue.

8. Circle the twine around the entire triangle, and tie the loose ends tightly in a knot.

9. For a tighter fixation, the thread can also be smeared with transparent glue.

10. Do the same with the two remaining triangular blanks.

Well, now try to make beautiful snowmen from iron corks.

"Snowmen"

You will need:

• tapes;
• bottle caps;
• acrylic paints;
• buttons;
• glue.

Manufacturing process:

1. Take three good, not deformed bottle caps. Wash and dry them. Then paint with white acrylic paint.

2. After the workpieces have dried, glue the covers onto the tape, while leaving a loop on top.

4. Cut a small strip from the satin ribbon. This will be a scarf. Tie it over the corks. And glue a button in the middle. A bright decoration in the form of a snowman is completely ready.

You can also use not only corks, but the bottles themselves. Only not glass, but plastic. For example, cutting them into halves, and then gluing the parts to the desired length, you get an excellent blank for any toy. Dream up. And then, using paint, revive the plastic blanks.

That's how beautiful and bright you can make a penguin. I think the diagram will make it clear to you.

Or fill the bottles with any New Year's souvenirs, and decorate on top.

You can also cut strips of plastic and assemble a ball.

Here's a simple idea for making small toys out of paper and satin ribbons. Find New Year's pictures on the Internet, print them in the shape of a circle, cut them out. Then glue onto cardboard. Weave the ribbons together and glue the contour with them. Glue the loop.

And here's a paper assembly for you. Also very simple product, just for kids. Print the diagram, cut it out. Assemble the craft along the fold lines, glue. Decorate with beads, plasticine, etc. Glue on the loop. That's all!

"Crystal ball"

You will need:

• half beads made of glass and plastic;
• foam balls;
• trimming satin ribbons;
• scissors;
• glue gun.

Manufacturing process:

1. Take a foam ball and start pasting it in a circle with half beads. At the same time, you can lay out a certain pattern, or make the craft monophonic.

Remember that the glue must be applied in a thin layer, otherwise the foam will melt.

2. After you glue the entire ball over completely, you just have to embellish it a little more. Just tie a bow of satin scraps and glue to the product. Don't forget the loop too.

In the same way, you can make balls from buttons. Only first paint the foam balls with paint, and only then glue the multi-colored buttons.

And disposable plastic cups are generally a godsend for creativity. They just need to be turned upside down, and pasted over with paper decorations, sequins, duct tape or painted with paints. And as a result, ringing bells, funny snowmen can turn out.

For a change, choose a very simple product - sew or assemble a large Christmas tree bow. You can make many small bows.

I also came up with the idea to combine the purchase option with homemade art. Buy transparent balls for the Christmas tree, carefully unscrew the top and sprinkle sparkles there. Screw the item. Or apply glue on the surface of the ball in the form of any pattern and also sprinkle with sparkles. Very beautiful handicrafts.

Of course, do not forget about needlework from dense threads and ordinary glue.

Moreover, the use of this technology will allow you to make anything.

You can learn more about this technique here.

And here are the instructions on how such a miracle can be created.

Interesting products are obtained from pasta. Usually they are glued together and thus make snowflakes.

And a cool idea would be to decorate unnecessary old light bulbs. Usually they are painted with acrylic paints and decorated with knitted, rag and other attributes.

Also, toys can be molded from salt dough, plasticine or clay.

Well, or bake real edible souvenirs.

In fact, there are still a lot of holiday products that you can make with your own hands from improvised means, and you can’t list everything. Therefore, we move on.

Master class on making a star on the top of a Christmas tree from paper and cardboard

Of course, you can choose another way to make it, but I really liked the following magical transformation.

"Shiny Cardboard Star"

You will need:

• shiny cardboard;
• scissors;
• glue gun.

Manufacturing process:

1. Take cardboard and cut out strips of the same width and length from it.

If your cardboard is shiny on only one side, then first glue two sheets of cardboard together so that both sides are shiny.

3. Now bring the free ends of the strips together and glue them together as shown in the photo.

4. Pin the side strips together. You should get something like this.

5. Repeat steps 1 to 4, that is, glue another exactly the same part.

6. Connect and glue the two blanks together so that you end up with an eight-pointed star. Your voluminous star on the top of the spruce is ready.

I think that such a masterpiece will bring a lot of pleasure, especially when the lights will flash on the branches and the star will also sparkle with new colors.

Christmas tree toy 2019 in the form of a symbol of the year of the pig

Do you remember what year is coming? That's right, Year of the Pig. So do not forget to appease the Mistress and make souvenirs in the form of funny pigs.

• black marker;
• pencils;
• markers;
• glue;
• scissors.

Manufacturing process:

1. Take a pink semi-cardboard and cut out many strips from it 1 cm wide and 7 cm long.

2. Now, using a pencil or scissors, twist each strip.

3. Apply glue to the top of one of the strips, and attach another strip on top. Thus, glue the strips in a circle.

4. As a result, you should get such a blank.

6. Now cut out a long pink strip 0.5 cm wide.

7. Twist the strip so that you get a curl like a pig's tail.

8. Glue the tail to the ball.

9. Cut out two circles of different diameters and ears from half-cardboard. From red paper, cut out two small circles - these are the nostrils.

10. Glue a piece of double-sided tape on a circle of smaller diameter. Attach it to the big circle. Use glue to glue the "nostrils".

11. Draw eyes with a black marker and draw the contours.

12. From red paper, cut out two strips 2 cm wide, 5 cm long. Paint them all with the same black marker. This will be a scarf.

13. Glue the scarf to the back of the pig's head. Then glue the head to the body (3D ball). And don't forget to cut and glue the ribbon loop.

Agree, this is a very easy craft and is available for children's creativity.

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.

Content

And we are here for you, as always, with our interesting and original ideas for New Year's crafts. This time we will create crafts from plastic bottles. First, do not forget that plastic decomposes for more than 100 years, so we must use it to the maximum in order to do less harm to nature.

Secondly, these crafts will not require too much cash injections from you. Thirdly, a lot of interesting gizmos can be made from this improvised material. In our article you will find figurines, a garland, a piggy bank, Christmas decorations and many other crafts from plastic bottles.

Christmas figurines from plastic bottles

These crafts for the New Year from bottles are very easy to create. Here is the set of required items:

• plastic container;
• scissors and stationery knife;
• paints, brushes;
• textile;
• Knitting;
• felt;
• glue gun.

For example, you can make charming penguins. To do this, you need to cut the workpiece in half, and cut off the bottom for the hat. Next, they need to be painted like penguins, glue the parts with a glue gun and decorate the figures with textiles.

A little tip - instead of a glue gun, you can use tape, which you just paint over later.

Use acrylic paints, they fit better on plastic.

From this simple and affordable material, you can also make bright and beautiful apples that can be placed under the Christmas tree or decorate the kitchen with them. By the way, the decor is suitable not only for the New Year, but also for other holidays.

For a child, you can make a toy - a horse on a stick. If you improvise, you can also create a dog, because this is a symbol of the upcoming 2018. And the color is yellow! So use more yellow when creating your wonderful crafts.

Christmas tree decorations from plastic bottles

If a lot of the material we need has accumulated in the house, and you already don’t know where to put it, then our advice to you is to be creative! Let this container be creative! From the bases you can make wonderful snowflakes. They only need to be slightly decorated and attached with a rope so that they can be hung. Use a thin brush to apply the pattern. From such blanks, you can create a whole garland or wreath on the door.

Crafts for the New Year from bottles are both original and not expensive.

But such bells are obtained from the tops:

A whole ball can be created from the bases of the bottles. Details can be painted, or can be used in its original form:

Crafts from plastic bottles for the New Year is an opportunity to give a second chance to old things, an opportunity to join the culture of recycling things, sorting garbage. Thus, we are consciously approaching the use of resources, and besides, you can always call yourself an artist of trash art, and this, by the way, is a very fashionable movement these days. In general, such needlework is good on all fronts!

And the following Christmas balls are made of stripes, which are decorated with various beads, paints, ribbons and other decor:

snow globes

Another cool idea is to use plastic bottles to make Christmas snow globes. What we need:

• flat plastic bottles;
• acrylic paints, brushes;
• sequins;
• decorative figurines;
• glue;
• foam or artificial snow;
• sequins, beads.

First, you need to cut off the top and bottom of the bottle so that one tube remains. We need to cut a circle from the foam plastic according to the diameter of the pipe, on which we will attach our decorative details.

Then, having smeared the sides of the foam plastic with glue, it must be glued to the main part of the composition, placing it inside the scenery.

The top and bottom of the pipe can be decorated with cut-off parts of the bottle, gluing them with a glue gun and decorating with artificial snow and ribbons. Crafts from plastic bottles are ready! Inside, you can also pour sequins, sequins and beads.

You can, on the contrary, use only the top and bottom to create a kind of New Year's snow globe.

Cones from plastic bottles

Another decor option is when plastic is used to create a cone. It is better to use brown blanks right away.

From your material you need to cut something like daisies and string them on a string. Make blanks of different sizes to end up with a bump. Fir branches can be cut from a green bottle.

Wreath of plastic bottles

To do this, we need the bottoms of plastic bottles, wire, a bow and other decorations.

Details can be painted in gold to give the craft a pomposity and completeness, as well as to disguise the material from which the wreath is made.

Candlestick for the New Year

One of the New Year's attributes is a candle. Well, we can make very good candlesticks.

The next candlestick is made of two components, decorated with coffee beans, but, most importantly, it is a beautiful decorative candle.

By the way, do not forget that you can use not only bottles from mineral water or sweet water, but also from yogurt, kefir and other products.

Souvenirs for the New Year

Something comic and funny can be prepared for guests or kids. For example, make a piggy bank out of a plastic bottle. And what? Very original too! It will turn out to make a dog piggy bank - it will be even better!

Use acrylic paints or spray paints, felt parts, fabric, beads and various other decor for decoration. But from such funny turtles, children will definitely be delighted. For the base, use thin kitchen sponges or foamiran. We have already described how to work with this material in our articles.

How about a whole bed of tulips in the middle of winter? Such a composition can decorate a summer cottage or a courtyard of a private house. Guests from the first time will definitely not understand that these beautiful flowers are made from ordinary plastic bottles.

Plastic bottles are a material available in every home. If you have not yet figured out how to “put them into action”, the Motherhood portal offers craft ideas for joint activities with a child!

Plastic bottles can be used to make a lot of things, from animals and toys to sports equipment, from delicate flowers to lampshades and curtains.

Plastic bottle toys

Using plastic bottles with a volume of 1.5 liters, you can design animal figures. Look what a wonderful dog turned out of green bottles!

Try to simulate an airplane. You can glue the frame with colored paper and make portholes with passengers. Or just put your favorite toy in a special slot.

From a plastic bottle, straws for a cocktail and a ping-pong ball, you can use a stapler to construct a helicopter.

A real "waterfowl" catamaran for dolls can be made from two plastic bottles.

A more complex craft using heating and melting structural parts looks simply gorgeous. Look, it turned out to be a real Frog Princess!

By heating and melting plastic, you can make a naturalistic crayfish, and then "settle" it in an aquarium.

A series of colorful nesting dolls can be made from plastic bottles pasted over with colored self-adhesive paper. The second option is paints for glass surfaces.

From several bottles, movably fastened together with screws, you can get a bright and memorable snake or shark, as you like.

As part of the New Year theme, try making adorable colorful penguins from the bottoms of plastic bottles. We cut them, put a “hat” on the penguin, color it, add bright details: a pompom and a scarf.

If you need a craft with a Christmas theme, try making an Orthodox church out of plastic bottles. The dome tops are easiest to mold from plasticine, crosses are made from wire, and then wrapped in golden metallized paper. White edging of window openings on colored plastic gives a special elegance to the craft. They can be done with a "stroke" corrector, or a thin strip of white plasticine.

In a similar way, you can build a whole castle. Plastic bottles will form the frame for the four corner towers. Slots are made in them for windows or loopholes, on top they are coated with plasticine, on which the texture of brick and "white stone" decorations are applied. The walls of the castle are made of cardboard and also coated with plasticine. This impressive craft is sure to bring a lot of joy to your child.

Insects

Children are interested in insects. Together with them, draw and cut out a beetle, butterfly, cockroach or caterpillar from a plastic bottle. They must love it!

If you approach the issue more carefully, then you can build an insect from bottles in all details.

Starry sky in a bottle

Inside an ordinary bottle, you can create a magical and fabulous galaxy. We will need: wat, glycerin, colored sparkles and a little dye. We put a piece of cotton wool inside a transparent jar or bottle, add sparkles. Pour in a jar of glycerin to obtain the effect of viscosity. Then add food coloring. You can make several shades inside one container. But at the same time, each time we add cotton wool and sparkles. Carefully fill everything with water.
