Materials:

• PVA glue,
• balloon,
• "Iris" threads
• needle,
• disposable cup,
• ribbons, cones, Christmas tree legs, cotton wool,
• hot gun,
• new Year decoration.

Pour glue into the glass, then take a needle and thread and pierce the glass through just above the bottom. The glue should cover the thread. Inflate the balloon to the desired size and tie it. Then we wrap the ball with thread and glue in different directions. We leave the ball to dry for two days. When the threads are dry, we pierce the ball with a needle and take it out from the inside. You should get an openwork ball. We cut the required hole in this ball and decorate the edge of the cut with openwork ribbon. The top of the ball was decorated with pine cones and the legs of an artificial Christmas tree using a hot gun. And inside the ball was decorated with New Year's decorations.

Homemade toys for the Christmas tree can be made not only by needlewomen. There are quite simple options that won’t take much time. They can be done with children or on your own. The most important thing is that your furry beauty will not be like others. And the warmth of your hands transferred to the toy will be noticed by all your loved ones.

Greetings to all readers of my blog, New Year is a magical holiday! It carries so much warmth, kindness and inspiration that it should be enough for the next 365 days! Preparing for the New Year is a real sacrament. Buying (or even better - creating with your own hands) gifts for family, loved ones and friends, planning the New Year's menu, decorating apartments and houses and, of course, the most important New Year's process... It's time to decorate the Christmas tree!

But now the next question arises: with what? Surely every home has a box of Christmas tree decorations. Some people have old Soviet houses with snow roofs, ruddy Santa Clauses and bullfinches lying there. They are, of course, dear to the heart, but they are already old, tired, and the paint is worn off. By the way, I advise you to read it, because the holidays are so fleeting.

Others have bright identical balls in the color of the curtains and golden bows.

Stylish, no doubt. But it’s the same – like everyone else’s. So what can we come up with? The answer is the simplest: make homemade Christmas tree toys! Everything about this process is perfect: from the search for ideas to the preparation of materials, from the first detail to the final result.

The flight of fancy is not limited! You can create any crafts from any materials, by any means. But sometimes it’s difficult to come up with an image on your own. In this case, there is no shame in looking: what are others doing? And taking the proposed options as a basis, come up with something of your own, or simply repeat some very cute little thing.

That is why I “climbed” onto the Internet in search of everything tasty and interesting. It’s not for nothing that mine was opened. There are a lot of tips. We'll look at some of them.

Paper Christmas tree toys

Cardboard, paper and glue are the most accessible materials. They are always in the house, especially when the baby is growing. In addition, such homemade Christmas tree toys are easy to make, do not require special handicraft skills and can be made by a child aged 8-10 years independently or with a little parental help if your child is younger.

Paper balls

These balls are quite easy to make.

Decoupage glass ornaments with vintage German newspapers

We will need:

• 1 ball (you can use foam balls or plastic ones, which are sold in handicraft stores as blanks for Christmas tree decorations) or a hemisphere (for example, molded from plasticine);
• glue (preferably liquid, it would be ideal to dilute the paste, but you can also use PVA);
• newspapers;
• thin wire (you can use a paper clip);
• a thread;
• glitter, stickers or scrapbooking paper - optional.

We tear the newspapers into thin strips, coat each of them with glue and gradually cover the ball with them. As soon as the base is no longer visible under the layer of newspapers, put the product aside and let it dry - about 40 minutes. Then create 2, 3, 4 and 5 layers - similar to the first. If you are using a ball base, you do not need to remove it. If you have only made half of the base, you will have to first make the decoration from individual parts and then glue them together.

After complete drying, you can apply a layer of varnish and sprinkle glitter. Homemade Christmas tree decorations are so valuable because they can be decorated in any way and with anything!

When the ball itself is ready, we begin making the “top”. If the work was carried out with New Year's balls, then we attach their holders on top. It’s even easier to glue a tinsel bow to the ball and tie a thread or ribbon on top so that you can hang the product.

To make “named” balls, just attach a piece of paper with a name to the tinsel using a thread. You can write wishes, compliments and any other pleasant little things on these stickers.

Gift decoration with vintage paper

In the same source I saw a New Year's craft that can be done in 10 minutes! You need to make an “accordion” from a sheet of music notes, alternately bending the paper into 1-2 cm strips in one direction or the other. Repeat with another sheet. Bend each accordion in half and glue along the free side to make it look like a “half-toy”. Then connect the resulting semicircles to each other along the sides that remain without folds.

You can use it as a gift for someone dear to you. Take a simple box that you can find at any craft store, decorate it with an old map and the resulting paper toy.

Musical muse

To make beautiful homemade Christmas tree decorations with your own hands, you need a true love of music!

Source

Required:

• glue;
• scissors;
• old sheet music;
• rhinestone (you can simply cut a circle out of cardboard in color).

We cut three A4 sheets with notes each into 4 parts. From the first two we will make large rays, and from the third - small ones. We roll a quarter of the sheet into a cone and glue the joint. Please note that the glue will first need to be applied so that both sides of the cone stick together into one. And then carefully glue the rest. You need 8 such elements.

The next step is to cut the quarters of the last sheet in half. We get 8 parts. The scheme is the same. After this, each ray needs to be glued to a rhinestone or cut out circle. The back part can be covered with a layer of music paper, and a thread can be glued under it.

Another tip: to age paper, you need to soak it in a bowl of strong tea and then dry it. Then crumple and iron with an iron at minimum temperature. I really like the look of the paper, which is scorched at the edges.

Be careful to only burn sheets in close proximity to a water source!

DIY vintage toys

These vintage DIY Christmas tree decorations will harmoniously fit into any interior.

Source

To make such a New Year's beauty, you will need:

• colored paper (or scrapbooking paper);
• glue;
• scissors;
• wooden stick for the base.

Cut out strips from colored paper. Their length should be the same, but the width of each next one should be 1 centimeter more than the previous one. The number of strips and their size can be any - it depends on how you want your homemade Christmas tree toys to look.

Twist each strip into a tube and glue the joint. Then connect all the strips together and put them all together on a wooden base (can be cut out of cardboard). Don't forget the star and thread!

If regular colored paper is used, then I would additionally decorate this madame with cut out balls, circles, stars, sparkles, and pieces of tinsel. Give your child plenty of room for imagination. Let him paint the stripes and stick on bright stickers. Homemade Christmas tree decorations for the New Year can be as colorful and catchy as you like. The main thing is with the soul!

Christmas tree toys made of cardboard

If your New Year's homework is a DIY Christmas tree toy for school, then you can make an owl like this.

Source

For this you will need:

• toilet paper roll;
• dye;
• glue;
• scissors;
• colored paper;
• white stickers with glitter.

You will need to glue the edge parts of the base and paint the product with white paint. Cut out all the details from paper and place them on top. I would also knit scarves for the owls and add thread tassels to their ears.

Another interesting and unusual idea is to make a cup of hot chocolate from a sleeve.

Source

You will need:

• sleeve;
• cocktail straw;
• colored paper;
• glue;
• scissors;
• cardboard.

We prepare a paper cylinder from the sleeve - cut it to the required size. Then from thick cardboard we cut out one cylinder of the same diameter - for the bottom, and another - for the “coffee” - a little smaller so that it fits inside but does not fall out. A small circle needs to be smeared with glue and a circle of brown paper, slightly larger, should be placed on top. Next, let's move on to the mug itself. According to the “recipe,” we are asked to cover it with a strip of colored paper, leaving a protruding part on both sides. At the bottom you should cut it with a “fringe” and glue each fragment to the bottom separately.

But I would simply wrap the homemade New Year's decorations on the Christmas tree with packaging material, fixing the joints with glue or a stapler. Or even just foil! But if according to the recipe, then don’t forget to glue the circle to the bottom.

After the packaging is ready, you need to put our “hot chocolate” inside, applying glue to the paper from the inside. Then we work on the top edge: carefully cut the free edge and glue one piece at a time. We insert the “drink” into the vessel. Here in the side edge we make a hole for the future thread.

Now for a pen: rolled paper, soaked in water and left to dry will work just fine. Glue it to the mug.

The base is ready, next is the decoration. There are no restrictions here: you can do it like the author, you can decorate it differently, for example, add a “slice of lemon” using a curly eraser, or draw a picture from “foam” using a corrector or contour. Homemade Christmas tree toys for the New Year can be very non-standard.

There are many tutorials on the Internet on how to make Christmas tree decorations with your own hands, incl. video. For example, to make a ball, you need:

• foam base;
• many different buttons;
• hot glue;
• tapes.

We cover the ball with buttons, make a bow from a ribbon - and you're done!

For me, threads are a closer material. About how many different mercies can be connected, write and write, this will be a life-long post. In addition, this is an activity for mothers, probably not for a child. Therefore, I will just show a few interesting things that I found, without going into details.

Source

A knitted ball can be made in any color and any size. The thread is quite simple to sew on. You can tie a foam base, or you can stuff the toy with synthetic padding or other similar material.

Source

But you can make things much simpler from threads. Homemade Christmas tree decorations made from thread always look very interesting, tasty and unusual.

Source

These wonderful decorations can be ordered, but are easier to make!

You will need:

• leg-split;
• foam base for the ball;
• double-sided thin tape or hot silicone;
• scissors;
• lace.

If you don't have tape, you can try using silicone, but this is more painstaking work. Carefully, one row after another, you need to wrap the base with rope, gluing the thread.

If you decide to use tape to make these homemade Christmas tree toys, then just make a “belt” for the ball from an adhesive strip (from left to right), and then two more lines perpendicular to the belt (from top to bottom).

Be careful not to glue one strip on top of another to avoid problems with removing the protective tape. Attach a string to half of the balloon. Then form a free part by unwinding a little twine, and, as if making a “dead loop,” return to winding the ball in the same direction as you started. Once the first round is completed, secure the “reference point” with a small pin or nail. And start moving around this pin, gluing new pieces of adhesive tape when necessary.

In principle, you can use any thread - thin or thick wool, yarn. In addition, strips of felt, woven fabric or braids, and anything else will work. When the winding is finished, you need to let the product dry and soak, if you used an adhesive mass, and then start decorating.

Here you can learn how to decorate the base for a ball using twine. In addition, there is a wonderful option for decorating the resulting craft using ribbons, lace and beads.

You can wrap any figures in the same way. The convenience of this manufacturing method is that subsequent decoration can be made with any elements. You can sew them, glue them, tie them, attach them with Velcro and whatever else you want to do with them!

Here's another option - this is the famous striped candy wrapped in twine. Fortunately, these plastic imitations can now be bought in bags and quite cheaply. Working with them is easier than with balls. You just need to secure the twine with silicone from a hot gun, and then wrap it along the entire length and do the same from the other end.

Source

Another option is to do without foam plastic altogether. For example, like in this video about how to make Christmas tree decorations with your own hands. The neck of a regular plastic bottle is used as a base. First, cover the lid area with mounting tape, making it level. Then put the bag on the bottle. And using glue, carefully wrap the container to a certain level (depending on what size bells you want to end up with. As soon as the product dries, you should remove it from the neck and free it from the bag. And the final step is decoration.

You can make homemade Christmas tree decorations from threads with your own hands, using practically nothing except this very thread!

Source

To make such an adorable snowman, you need:

• white yarn;
• small cardboard;
• scissors;
• needle;
• a little felt.

The whole action is based on the principle of making pompoms for a hat. You have to wrap the cardboard in 30 circles with wool and cut the thread. Carefully remove the resulting skein, tie it in two places, preparing areas for the head, belly and legs. Prepare another skein, a smaller one, for your hands. Remove it from the cardboard and make two narrowings. Then spread the threads in the second segment in the frontal plane and thread future handles through the hole.

Schematically the snowman is ready. Cut the loops of thread on the arms and legs. And then start decorating. Trim all the ends of the fur so that nothing sticks out. From felt you can make a face and a scarf for our gentleman, as well as a hat. Or you can link it. Add a belt or buttons on the stomach. Tie a string so you can hang the toy.

Christmas tree star

So, the decorations for the branches are ready! Now our beauty is waiting for her “finest hour” - when we put a star on her top. But how, from what can you make it?

While I was flipping through the pages looking for something interesting, an idea came to my mind: why not decorate the Christmas tree... with a Christmas tree?! And here, for example, is an option!

We will need:

• sheet of cardboard;
• glue;
• green tinsel thread;
• bag of candy.

We make a cone out of cardboard and glue it along the joint. Glue a layer of tinsel onto the base. Then - a layer of sweets, one to one. Then again tinsel, and again sweets! Or you can replace sweets with a garland of lights and then our top will sparkle and shimmer, as it should be on the New Year!

If you made the musical decorations that were discussed at the very beginning of the article, then the star should be musical!

Source

You can make this by cutting out the parts according to the template. Then you have to fold along the dotted lines, glue the joints - voila, done! The only difficulty is that you will have to redraw the template, or print it initially on music paper. However, you can use any other material.

For balls covered with newspapers, a corresponding star is suitable.

Source

Making such a decoration is quite difficult. There is a special master class on how to make it, consisting of two parts. The first is about how to make an even pentagon, and the second is how to make a star out of it.

A star can be made from book pages, just like a toy can be made from sheet music.

Source

You will have to fold pages or their fragments into cone-rays and glue them to the base.

A good option would be to make a three-dimensional star, for example, from papier-mâché, cardboard, or buy a blank.

1. Let's look at an old book.
2. Divide each page in half.
3. We make an envelope from half.
4. A cardboard or plastic star blank is pasted over with ready-made envelopes according to the pattern in the photo.
5. Grease the edges with PVA glue and sprinkle with glitter.

To make it more convenient to install such homemade toys on the Christmas tree, I would advise making one large cone as a support. In addition, to make the star three-dimensional, the rays need to be glued not only on one side of the base, but also on the other.

Christmas is a holiday that for many is as important and significant as New Year. Therefore, the holiday tree must be decorated with themed decorations.

Source

You can do this, for example, using:

• wooden ring (you can use a special blank, a spare ring from a cornice or a foam ring);
• several beads;
• cap for beads;
• rondel (separator);
• crochet hook;
• scissors;
• threads

But this DIY Christmas tree decoration can only be made if you have shells lying around the house. However, finding decorative material in stores (in the same Leonardo chain, which has representatives in 35 cities of Russia) today is not so difficult.

Source

To make this beauty you will need:

• shells of different sizes;
• hot glue;
• a thread;
• decorations for every taste.

In my opinion, it would be unnecessary to talk about the production process; everything can be seen without words.

This master class tells in great detail how to make an angel from a sheet of cardboard, thread, Christmas ball, ribbons and a set of decorations. These homemade Christmas tree decorations are suitable and can be used as decorations for the New Year or Christmas table.

I sincerely hope, dear readers, that this selection of tips on how to make homemade Christmas tree decorations will help you find your inspiration, catch the wave and get carried away with your work! I wish you new ideas and wonderful results!

How to make unusual Christmas tree toys from wire with your own hands

We have already looked at a simple example of a wire toy, so we devote this section to truly original designs, which will require a little more time. Wire figures can be very diverse - the right technique will allow you to create an amazing, truly creative decoration for the New Year.

For a wire toy you will need:

• wooden base board;
• carnations;
• a well-bending wire of suitable length - it is better to take it with a reserve: the excess can always be cut off, but if the length is just a little short, the toy will have to be completely remade;
• round nose pliers, wire cutters.

Execution process:

1. On a flat wooden board, chosen as a base, nails are placed at key points - the tops of corners, straight segments, etc. If the toy is supposed to have rounded lines, ovals, smooth curves, then wooden elements of the appropriate diameter and shape will be needed.
2. According to the design of the toy, the wire is passed along these key points - this is how the figure takes shape.
3. Round nose pliers and other tools allow you to create perfect curls, waves, and angles.
4. The finished design can be coated with special paint.

An openwork wire figurine made using this technique will look impressive not only on the branches of a Christmas tree, but also in the interior of a room or as a decoration for a holiday table or gift box.

Felting interesting New Year's toys from wool with your own hands

Felting wool- a way of creating a New Year’s toy that is not so common even among needlewomen, but starting with a simple one and gradually moving to a complex one, you can achieve a truly masterpiece performance. Special wool, a needle for felting, various techniques (for example, wet felting or dry felting) - we present creative felted Christmas tree toys with photographs:

Homemade products for the New Year using the felting technique can be very diverse - it all depends only on the imagination of the author and his skills. Children will be quite able to make a small ball, icicle or snowman, and real masters create figurines of animals, elves, angels, painted balls and much, much more. If you don’t have wool on hand, you can always make one.

CDs are gradually becoming a thing of the past, making room for more modern storage media. Some people still have old and, most likely, unnecessary stacks of these shiny “blanks” - it seems like a shame to throw them away, but they won’t be useful in the household either. So make New Year's interior decorations out of them!

DIY ideas for Christmas toys made of polymer clay

Polymer clay– a material that recently appeared on the handicraft market is very flexible and has virtually no boundaries for realizing your imagination. Of course, the technique of working with polymer clay has its own nuances and not everything may turn out perfect the first time, but with certain skills, New Year's trinkets and toys from this material turn out to be very beautiful, original and durable.

So, we make New Year toys from polymer clay:

1. The material itself is simple, like plasticine, but after firing it hardens to the state of ceramics. When working with it, you can take your time, but you won’t be able to stretch out the work over several days.
2. One of the simplest options for toys made from polymer clay is considered decoupage: the picture you like from a napkin is applied with the help of perfume or strong alcohol onto a rolled out layer of clay of the corresponding color. The remains of the clay base are trimmed along the contour. If desired, the toy can be covered with craquelure, which will “age” it, make it look vintage and so stylish. After firing, the decoration will become hard as stone.
3. Millefiore technique (multicolor) also does not represent anything particularly complicated: the clay is rolled out into laces, which are applied to each other in a certain way, forming a sausage. The sausage can be additionally wrapped in a thin layer of clay, which will become the casing. We cut the formed sausage crosswise into thin circles or squares - depending on the size of the cut, such blanks can already become independent decorations, it is only important not to forget to make a hole in them. Or you can combine these squares into a large canvas and cut into stencils Christmas trees, animal figures, hearts, stars - whatever inspiration dictates!
4. The most understandable way to work with polymer clay is ordinary modeling, just like from plasticine. Even the smallest ones can cope with this task! Painted houses, snowflakes, owls, penguins - the kid can make whatever he wants, even a whole fairy tale!

If you create Christmas tree decorations from polymer clay, do not forget to make a hole in them at the modeling stage for thread or ribbon: this will no longer be possible in a fired product.

Usually toys are made from polymer clay small in size- this is necessary for uniform firing, which should complete the creative process. The variety of colors allows you to make bright, realistic Christmas tree decorations, but single-color toys can also be very good - for example, in this photo of a Christmas tree with homemade white Christmas tree decorations, the fluffy beauty seems to be covered with magical frosty patterns:

In fact, making a Christmas tree toy is as easy as shelling pears. It is enough to attach a ribbon to a pine cone, a small toy, or a bright pom-pom made of woolen threads and hang it from the tree. If desired, the Christmas tree can be decorated with anything. In Europe, it is becoming very popular to decorate the Christmas tree and the house in the same color scheme. To do this, not only toys are purchased to match, but also candles, garlands, and dishes. Try it too...

1.Toys made from old light bulbs

Great idea for reusing burnt out lamps! To do this you will need: paints, brushes and varnish to fix the effect. You can also use glitter, ribbons, straws, buttons, paper scraps, etc. Those who are not comfortable with drawing can use the decoupage technique - gluing a napkin with a pattern onto a well-painted surface. You can do this handicraft together with your kids.

2.We use old newspapers and paper

Good old papier-mâché has never been canceled! You can also cover regular Christmas tree balls with pieces of newspaper. Bright cardboard Christmas trees, voluminous paper hearts, “lanterns”, “snakes”, snowflakes and garlands also look good on the Christmas tree.

3.Bead openwork

Experienced needlewomen can make the toy itself out of beads, but I advise beginners to simply try embroidering a fabric product with beads, rhinestones and beads.

4.Matchboxes

You can make a whole composition inside the box - place small angel figures, a Christmas tree, and gifts in it. Or you can simply glue a picture or lay out a bouquet of Christmas tree branches, poiscentia leaves, berries and cones.

5.Fabric crafts

The good thing about the fabric is that you can use it to sew a toy of virtually any shape. Bright striped or checkered Christmas trees, snowmen or bullfinches with polka dots, large lace hearts and vintage bells look very stylish. In most cases, you won't even need patterns. You can stuff toys with holofiber or padding polyester.

You can also try simply wrapping the Christmas balls with a piece of bright fabric, securing the entire composition with ribbons and all sorts of decor.

6.Felt toys

Felt is an even more interesting material than fabric, since it does not fray and does not need to be processed along the edges, has a huge range of colors and different densities, is perfectly glued and sewn, which allows you to make toys with small details.

Try to make such a funny Santa Claus...

7.Cross stitch

Those who love to embroider and who have accumulated a lot of small finished projects lying around idle can make full-fledged Christmas tree decorations. It is enough to cut out the embroidery (stepping back three centimeters along the outline) and glue it to the cardboard. Fold the excess edges and glue them to the back. To disguise all the unevenness, you can glue a piece of felt, cardboard or paper to the inside. Plus the ribbon and Christmas tree toy are ready!

8. Pebbles - drops

Such transparent stones are sold in decorative stores, often in flower stalls or lying next to vases in supermarkets. Take a bag of such “droplets”, superglue and begin to form the product in the form of a Christmas tree, a snowflake, a circle, a crescent. Glue the stones at the joints and remove excess glue in time.

9. Fun decor of simple balls

You can also not fool around with the material, but use bored monochromatic balls. Pour glue into a regular syringe and apply a design to the balls. Sprinkle everything on top with glitter or semolina. You get an exquisite and subtle “snowy” pattern.

You can also try to paint the balls by hand. Funny faces, snowdrifts, snowflakes, spruce trees, bare trees and bullfinches - everyone can do this!

10. Straws or threads

Remember craft lessons when we were taught to make lampshades for lamps using woolen threads and balloons? Why not do the same thing, but smaller and hang it on the tree? To do this: inflate a balloon (very lightly, the size of a large Christmas tree ball), grease it with glue and randomly wrap it with threads or straws. Once the glue is dry, puncture the ball and pull it through the mesh. Attach the ribbon and ribbons and you can hang it on the Christmas tree! Tip: to prevent the balloon from sticking, you can wrap it in cling film before starting work.

Another way to use threads or straws is to wrap them around wire frames in the shape of stars, hearts, or deer faces.

11. Old disks

Used waste disks can be used in different ways. They can be painted, decorated with modeling, decoupaged, broken into crumbs and made into mosaics. Glue your family photo to the disk and frame it around the edges - you will get not only a Christmas tree decoration, but also a memorable photo frame.
