Many remember those unusually beautiful toys. I had several of them: Santa Claus, Snow Maiden and a snowman. Now you don't find them anymore. And why, when you can make them yourself. I want to say right away that doing them is not difficult, but time-consuming and time-consuming.

We will need:

• Cotton wool;
• PVA glue diluted with water;
• Acrylic paints;
• Flat brush;
• Styrofoam ball;
• Wire;
• A thread.

Cotton wool is divided into layers. They must be thin. Then we grease the foam base with glue and wrap cotton around it. We also impregnate it. Thus, there should be at least five layers. Then let dry. This takes about 8-12 hours.

Now let's make the nose. Roll a small piece into a cone. Lubricate with glue, just leave the base dry. Lubricate the head in the place where our carrot will be attached and attach the nose. Lubricate again.

Now let's make a headdress. We also lubricate it, but do not touch the base. Then we stick. So that there are no noticeable attachment points, it is necessary to mask them with small pieces of cotton wool and also lubricate them. Let dry again.

So that it does not unwind, be sure to coat the edges with glue. Then you can paint in any color and dry. Let's start making toys. We make the shape of a star. At the end, be sure to fix with glue.

If the tube is over, then it can be increased. To do this, insert one into the other.

We continue, only now we will wrap our figure with this tube. We wrap the tube around the opposite end in the form of a loop and go to the other end.

So in a circle until we completely wrap our star. It turned out to be a voluminous figure. The end is slipped and fixed with glue.

Do you love needlework? Then you will love making DIY Christmas decorations! This is a pleasant and exciting activity for the whole family that will not leave anyone indifferent - you will spend several evenings with pleasure making toys for the Christmas tree with your own hands.

What do we use for the material

What is required to make new Year decoration with your own hands? You can use almost anything that comes your way. If you want, you can buy special consumables (sold in art stores), or you can use what is in any home. So what to prepare:

• plain paper (suitable for making patterns);
• pencils and markers;
• ordinary, white and colored cardboard (velvet can be used);
• sharp scissors and a dummy knife;
• glue (PVA or glue gun with rods);
• threads and needles;
• yarn of different shades;
• various decorative materials - it can be sparkles, sequins, confetti, multi-colored foil, stickers and much more.

This is a basic set, but in order to make a specific Christmas tree toy, something else may be required.

Simple crafts from improvised materials

Of course, you have probably seen how Christmas balls are made from threads and glue with your own hands, but why not expand the range? We make different Christmas decorations with our own hands.

From yarn

This is a simple and at the same time spectacular Christmas decoration that can decorate any Christmas tree.

For manufacturing you will need:

• yarn;
• tailor's pins;
• plate or bowl;
• porous material (for example, a disposable tray);
• cutting paper;
• marker.

The threads need to be soaked in glue - the glue should soak the yarn well, it is thanks to it that the decoration will keep its shape. While the threads are absorbing the glue, you need to make a template for your toy - draw on paper what you want. It can be DIY Christmas balls, outlandish birds or neat little houses. You can also try to make a snowman, a couple small Christmas trees and a star.

The template needs to be attached with pins (or ordinary toothpicks) to the porous material, and lay out the pattern you need on top - first the contour is laid out, then the interior decor. Do not cross the threads too often, the toy should be fairly flat. After you are done, dry the product and remove it from the pins, and tie a loop in the eye. If desired, you can decorate with sparkles or rain.

From wire

How to make Christmas toys with your own hands in just a couple of minutes? Use wire!

To make toys you will need:

• two types of wire - thick and thin (thin can be replaced bright threads, for example, floss. Pure white strong threads look very nice);
• beads, beads;
• colored tape;
• pliers.

In order to make figurines or balls for the Christmas tree, cut a few pieces from thick wire and give them the shape that your Christmas decoration will have. In our case, this is a star, but you can use any geometric shapes and simple silhouettes.

The ends of the thick wire must be twisted. You need to string beads and beads mixed on a thin wire, tie the end of a thin wire to a future Christmas tree decoration, and wrap it randomly.

When the toy is evenly wrapped, you need to wrap the free tail of the wire around the toy, and tie a ribbon in the shape of a bow - your toy is ready.

Another original idea:

Ribbon and beads

Who said that do-it-yourself New Year's toys must be done for a long time and painstakingly? Not at all. Literally in five minutes you can, which will decorate both the New Year's tree and the interior.

You will need:

• beads;
• narrow tape;
• yellow, gold or silver cardboard;
• glue "Second";
• needle with thread.

We fold the ribbon with an accordion and string it on a thread, after each loop of the ribbon you need to string a bead. The more "tiers", the smaller they are - you see, the Christmas tree is already starting to turn out. When the ribbon ends, the thread must be tied in a knot, and a small star should be cut out of the cardboard. Next, you need to glue your Christmas tree to the star, and make a loop on top so that the decoration can be easily hung.

The interior decor made in this way looks very attractive.

From cardboard - in a couple of minutes

Some Christmas toys made of paper or cardboard take a lot of time to make, but not in this case - here you really need a couple of minutes to make an elegant hand-made Christmas decoration.

So, you will need:

• ordinary cardboard;
• some twine or thick yarn;
• glue;
• paints and brushes;
• napkin or cloth;
• varied decor.

Make two figurines out of cardboard, glue them together, laying a thread with a loop between them - the blank for the toy is ready.

We wrap the tree in different directions with a free tail of twine. After some pattern of threads appears on the Christmas tree, you can start gluing it with a napkin. You can tear the napkin into pieces, coat the Christmas tree well with glue, and glue it tightly with a napkin. This will give a nice texture to the future toy.

After the toy has dried, you can start painting - paint the Christmas tree in green color.

After the paint layer dries, shade the texture of the toy with a dry hard brush and white paint, and then decorate as you like.

From bright patches

Here you will need sewing machine, but with a special desire, you can cope without it. This The best way make Christmas toys from cotton wool and fabric - just choose a fabric with a Christmas ornament, or use the one you have on hand.

Prepare some paper patterns - for example, deer, stars, gingerbread men, cubs, letters and hearts. Cut the blanks out of the fabric with your own hands, sew them in pairs, leaving a small gap (for stuffing), and through this small hole, tightly stuff the toys with cotton wool or padding polyester. It is most convenient to fill with a pencil.

Patterns can be downloaded here:

By the way, do not forget - we sew on a typewriter from the inside, but if you decide to make toys made of dense fabric with the kids, then it is better to sew decorative seam over the edge - a do-it-yourself toy will look simply charming and suitable even for a home Christmas tree, even for a kindergarten - usually children make decorations for kindergarten trees themselves.

From twine and cardboard

New Year's toys made of paper and cardboard will be much more interesting if you add a couple more to them. simple materials. To make such a toy, you will need ordinary cardboard, simple paper or natural twine, a little felt or any other fabric, as well as plain paper, a pencil and a ruler, a drop of glue.

The star pattern can be downloaded here:

First make a pattern on plain paper and then transfer it to cardboard. Do not forget that the star must be double. Do not make the star too thin, it is better to make it from a centimeter or more. The tail of the twine is glued to the cardboard, then you need to gradually wrap the entire workpiece.

Lay the thread as tightly as possible so that there are no gaps. In order to decorate the star, make a couple of leaves and berries out of fabric and decorate one of the rays. Your decoration is ready.

• a couple of toilet paper bushings (you can just glue cardboard rings together);
• remnants of colored yarn;
• beads and sequins for decoration.

From cardboard, you need to glue rings about 1.5-2 cm wide. If you use a toilet paper sleeve as a base, cut it into several segments of approximately the same width.

The threads need to be cut into segments of approximately 20-22 centimeters. We fold each piece in half, draw the loop through the cardboard ring, and stretch the free edges of the threads through the loop. It is necessary that the thread is firmly fixed on the cardboard base. So you need to repeat until the cardboard base is hidden under the threads.

All thread tails need to be pulled through the ring so that our hat has a “lapel”.

This work was done with their daughter Polina, she is 6 years old. I saw the idea of ​​crafts on the Internet, but there was no description of the work. Everything was invented by ourselves in the process of work. The result amazed everyone! We bring to your attention our little penguin«.

To make such Christmas tree toys you will need:

• napkins different colors,
• stapler,
• Balloon,
• thick threads,
• PVA glue and "Moment",
• colored cardboard,
• satin ribbon.

Progress:

We put several napkins together (3-4), fasten them with a stapler in the center, cut out a circle, and by crumpling to the center, we crumple each layer of napkins. It turns out a flower. (You can also watch a master class on flowers from napkins).

There are a lot of such flowers to make. It took us: 6 packs of 100 sheet napkins blue color and 3 packs of white.

We pre-prepared the basis for the craft: inflated the air, wrapped it woolen threads with PVA glue. Let it dry well.

We glued the ball with our flowers, giving the shape of a blue back and a white tummy (we used glue “Universal Moment”).

Then they supplemented the craft with elements of colored cardboard: eyes, beak, wings, legs. So that our “penguin” could be hung on a Christmas tree, we fixed a ribbon for him by tying it to the tail of the ball, which we left at the top.

Now our "penguin" flaunts on the city tree!

The work fascinated us so much that we also made a cute sheep and her girlfriend - a chicken - a symbol of care and motherhood.

Thanks to Elena and Polina for wonderful toys for the city Christmas tree.

Of wire needed make the foundation. All other elements will be attached to this base. The base should repeat the preferred figure, for example, a person. For volume the base is wrapped with newspaper layers soaked in a paste. The ends of the wire (handles and nights) should be first wrapped with cotton wool, wetting it with a paste. After that, the newspaper covered with a layer of cotton.

All details should be done very carefully, hands should be washed frequently, as paints will remain on them and spoil light shades. You can form pigtails, hats and other little things with the help of thin wooden sticks, which should always help you in your work.
