Dear colleagues, I present to you a master class on making crafts for the “New Year’s Clock” exhibition in kindergarten.
1. It is based on cardboard box the right size. We glue one short side and secure it with glue with a triangle, simulating a roof slope. The box remains open (without a lid) for ease of decoration.
2. Due to the fact that I had a brown box with a pattern, and to prevent it from showing through, I covered the box twice with white gouache.
3. We cover the blank with self-adhesive paper with a New Year theme.
4. We do it using stationery knife cuckoo window. There is no need to completely cut out the circle; we leave the window in a small area fixed to the base and bend it inside the house
5. Glue the disk to decorate the dial.
6. Using a stencil, we apply numbers on velvet paper, cut them out, and glue them onto the disk. Making arrows. The paper used was green.
7. Cut out two pieces of polystyrene foam, slightly larger in size than the roof slope. We connect at an angle that follows the angle of the roof, and secure with tape.
8. Secure the roof to the clock using double-sided tape.
9. Apply PVA glue to the roof and glue cotton wool to imitate snow.
10. As a pendulum, I took ready-made ones painted in green color cones for decoration with sticks inserted into the center. Around which I wrapped narrow decorative tinsel.
11. Glue sticks for the cuckoo’s place onto the window bent inward.
12. We fix our bird on the “perch”. We make two holes at the bottom of the clock, insert a small part of the pendulum into them, and secure it with glue and tape on the inside of the clock.
The clock is ready. We hang them from the top point of the roof slope. Happy New Year!!!

New Year's carnival. 2015-16 Magic clock of Santa Claus. Description of work. Holidays in kindergarten are an important part of pedagogy.
Let's see what ways you can create unique New Year's crafts for a competition for school or kindergarten in the form of Santa Claus. I will also show you how to beautifully decorate gifts for the New Year with the symbol of Santa Claus. Let's start with gifts...
Santa Claus on a gift
How to do it yourself.
(simple options).
Here in the photo below we see an excellent New Year's decoration of the most ordinary gift packages made of gray wrapping paper.
For the first idea you will need:
- a round shape made of white cardboard, a piece of red cardboard,
- red pompom (or regular cotton wool + PVA glue + red gouache)
- a piece of white foam packaging interlayer (which is often placed in boots in the store, or in boxes with equipment). Or (if you don’t have such material) you can take white cardboard and cover it with cotton pads.)
On a white round cardboard eye shadow or blush Draw spots on the cheeks and black beady eyes with a marker. In a bowl, stir red gouache and PVA glue (a couple of drops of paint per teaspoon of glue); dip a piece of cotton wool into this mixture. We form a ball from this sticky red cotton wool with our hands and dry it on a radiator (it will dry overnight).
Cut out a triangle-cap from red cardboard. We glue it to the edge of the white round piece (Santa Claus's forehead) - it is better to glue it dry, that is, use a glue stick or double-sided tape, since wet PVA glue will wet the cardboard and make it bend.
On top of the connecting line (between the hat and the head) we lay a “fur edging”, as I already said, it is better to cut it out of foam packaging material. Or cover the cardboard with cotton pads and cut out the edging of Santa Claus’s hat from such “cotton-shaggy paper”
And here two more ideas craft pendants in the form of Santa Claus - already from just cardboard... and cardboard with paper cupcake tins.
Here are the large bags with large size Santa Claus.
You can even make a package yourself from a sheet of gift paper. The template here is very simple. You can make such a drawing yourself with a pencil, cut it out, bend it along the fold lines and you’re done. A beautiful box - glue the face and beard of Santa Claus to it and you're done. 
You can make your own from cardboard (or from soft felt, or formiam as in the photo below) make PACKAGING POCKETS for gifts, decorated with an applique of Santa Claus on top.
Here is a diagram of such a pocket made of colored paper or cardboard. We bend along the lines, glue the sides and the container for sweets and chocolates is ready.
All that remains is to glue on top the head of Santa Claus with a beard and a hat. Simple and fast, no complexity. You will love making these quick pocket crafts with your own hands with Santa Claus, a snowman, angels and other New Year's characters.
Here is a pocket package made of soft felt or fleece, which is suitable for gifting a smart phone, or jewelry. It will be a pleasure to receive such a gift, decorated with manual labor and the imagination of the giver.
Santa Claus WITH CANDY
(just do it yourself).
Here's another new craft for this year. Santa Claus hides a candy in a bright wrapper in his tummy. A simple children's craft that you will quickly understand and can do with your own hands in one sitting.
As you can see (in the photo below) there is nothing complicated or tricky here. It’s just that the tummy and back of Santa Claus are a FULL DETAIL - in shape it looks like a FIG. which has a hole only in the upper turn of the number.
This “figure eight” is bent in half - and we get a tummy with a hole in the center in the front and a closed back at the back. At the top we fix our halves with a drop of glue, or a stapler or tape. And all that remains is for our Santa Claus to glue on the head with a beard and the legs-stand.
Santa Claus do it yourself
Craft using the spider web technique.
There is an article on our website where I show in great detail how to make such balls with your own hands from glue threads and air small ball. In this article “Balls of thread and a sea of crafts using the spider web technique,” I posted a master class. Therefore, I will not explain in detail here, so as not to waste unnecessary words. Follow the link, everything is explained there.
Just look at the photo below and fall in love with these cute New Year characters made from yarn balls. Simple and fast. In one evening we make balls, in the second evening we cover them with pieces of colored paper - and the craft is ready, worthy of going to a New Year's exhibition at school or kindergarten.
You don’t have to cover the balls with paper parts, but just put a cap like this on the top ball - where a face with a mustache and beard is already glued to the cone-hat.
In general, such cardboard caps (from the photo above) can be put on ordinary white inflatable balloons. And you’ll get a quick craft for the New Year in the form of Santa Claus. Such quick crafts are convenient. (By the way, the link contains a lot of quick ideas for crafts for decorating a New Year’s office).
DIY Santa Claus.
Balloon craft
using papier-mâché technique.
You can make such a pot-bellied, big-nosed, sweet and charming Santa Claus from the cheapest materials. PVA glue + white paper napkins + balloon IR + gouache for coloring.
What is the secret of the SIMPLICITY of this Santa Claus craft.
The papier-mâché technique is very simple. If you mix a paper napkin with PVA glue and mold something out of this mixture and dry it, we will get a dense, almost wooden, hard craft.
This principle of creating a durable material from fragile paper and liquid glue became the basis of the Papier-mâché technique.
Instead of white paper napkins, you can use regular NEWSPAPER. But then you will need to paint it on top with white paint (acrylic or gouache) before drawing Santa Claus on it.
What do we do.
Step 1 Let's buy a balloon with an elongated tail (that is, pear-shaped). Let's inflate it so that it retains its slightly elongated pear-shaped shape. Turn the ball upside down and insert it inside the vase (to make it easier to work with). You can even tape it a little to this vase so that it doesn’t jump out of it.
Step 2 Tear the white napkins into shreds (or leave them whole, whichever is more convenient for you). We coat part of the ball with PVA glue and place a white napkin on this puddle. On top of the napkin, again apply PVA glue with a wide brush and again place the napkin on this wet place. Thus, we glue the entire ball in several layers - generously pouring glue and generously laying down layers of napkin. Let it all dry (overnight).
Note – you can cover the ball with newspaper, dry it and paint it white. Or start the first layers from newspaper. And the last upper layers should be made from a white napkin, then there will be no need to paint it white.
Step 3. We crumple the napkins into large lumps - these will be tozhki. We also pour glue over it, and we also cover it with napkins, forming a wet crust of papier mache. We also leave it to dry.
Step 4. We take the ball out of the vase-pot on which it stood. We turn it with its tail up (we will cover this empty space that was in the vase with Santa Claus’s hat, it will not be visible. Using a marker on the dry round paper surface of the ball, we draw the silhouette borders of all the elements of Santa Claus - a face with a nose, a beard, a fur coat. We decorate this with gouache round decoration. Don't forget to glue the legs
Note. For papier mache you need a lot of PVA glue. If you buy it in the stationery department (where the glue is in small tube jars) you will overpay 5 times the cost. Better and It’s cheaper to buy PVA glue in liter buckets in the construction departments of the store. For one liter of glue you will pay about 2 dollars. And such a bucket will be enough for you for a whole bunch of crafts. Any PVA glue labeled “universal” or “construction” will suit you. In composition, it is no different from ordinary school stationery PVA glue. The manufacturer can be any company. With this bucket you will not only make Santa Claus from papier-mâché, but also a snowman and a penguin (also based on balloon). Details in other articles on this site.
By the way, based on the BALLOON, you can make a variety of crafts with Santa Claus. You can decorate a ball covered with newspaper with strips of colored fringe. We buy rolls of crepe colored paper from the stationery store. cut it into strips, cut them into fringe, paste the BALL IN A CIRCLE with fringed stripes. It turns out another version of the Santa Claus craft with your own hands - mischievous and shaggy.
Or you can decorate a balloon covered with newspaper with a FLEECE WRAP - the soft material will make a very cozy and warm craft. 
Making our own Santa Claus
from stones and natural materials.
Ordinary stones - small or large river cobblestones can become the basis on which a New Year's fairy tale will grow.
You can simply find oval stable stones (or make them stable using play dough). Cover the stones with white gouache (spray with hairspray to fix the color and prevent it from staining your hands). Then draw all the lines of the future Santa Claus on a white background. Decorate each drawn sector with gouache. And then once again draw clear black boundaries between the elements of the drawing - make outlines with a black marker. Markers work great on rocks. It is best to use a marker for signing CDs - it does not wash off and does not stain your hands.
You can depict any New Year's theme on suitable flat stones. An article-lesson on creating beautiful New Year's drawings is already on our website “Family Heap”.
And from several stones (also painted with gouache) you can put together an entire plot applique on a single background cut out of plywood.
We buy a small sheet of plywood at a hardware store (or find a suitable one in a pile of trash near the entrance). We cut a round piece out of it. We tint with ink the color of snow and the color of sky. And against this background we lay out Santa Claus, his sack, his reindeer, his sleigh... whatever.
Please note that the stones perform only one part of the element - the rest are painted, laid out from twigs, ropes and other natural materials.
It is not necessary to choose smooth round stones. The most uneven curved stones can work to your advantage. Lay them out, try them on next to each other and try to see the outlines of your future craft in this arrangement. Who knows what masterpiece your little “rock garden” will give birth to on a piece of paper.
You can also use shells as a natural material for crafts in the form of Santa Claus. It will turn out interesting and beautiful.
You can come up with your own New Year's pictures from magic pebbles. Do not forget to spray the craft with hairspray - this will make it brighter and will not stain your hands with gouache or smudge. You can also sculpt some details of such a panel craft from plasticine (it can also be coated with hairspray)... or sculpt it from papier mache ( paper napkin mixed with PVA glue, see point above in this article).
Craft Santa Claus
Made from plasticine.
You can also make it from ordinary plasticine (or from polymer clay). handsome Grandfather Frost. The main thing is to work slowly and remember to wash your hands when moving from one color of plasticine to another. There we will get pure colors of the parts and the whole craft will look neat.
After making the craft, you need to dry it in a cool place and spray it with hairspray. This is necessary so that it stops being sticky and does not collect room dust. You can cover the craft with acrylic matte varnish soft brush. Acrylic lacquer for crafts is sold at office supply or craft stores.
Such varnished, non-sticky plasticine figures are also good because they can be used inside small Snow capsules. Where the foam snowball will fall. You can make capsules for plasticine Santa Claus with your own hands - from transparent plastic bottles. Cutting off the top and bottom of them and joining them together. Sprinkle nail glitter, sequins or foam balls inside, or cut the fluff from pillows with scissors - the fluff will slowly settle, creating the illusion of snowfall.
Can be done flat crafts made from plasticine. Roll out colored plasticine with a rolling pin on the table. A wooden rolling pin is not suitable - it leaves rough marks on the plasticine. A round glass bottle or a can of any deodorant can be used as a smooth rolling pin.
Place a stencil image (details of Santa Claus, or his clothes) on the rolled out layer of plasticine. We trace with a sharp object. Remove the stencil and cut with scissors along the scratched lines. We get planar parts from which you can put together a plasticine graphic applique. Or make something like this to decorate your kitchen in New Year’s style (as in the photo below).
You can get ideas for plasticine crafts in the form of Santa Claus from New Year's cakes decorated with mastic characters. Santa Claus is often sculpted from sweet confectionery mastic from different angles. Look through New Year's cakes on Google and you will find many ideas for plasticine New Year's heroes.
You can find even more New Year's plasticine ideas for children's crafts in the classroom and at home in a special article on our website
DIY Santa Claus
FROM CONES.
Pine and fir cones can also be painted with gouache (like the stones from the paragraph above). And when painted, the cone immediately becomes interesting basis for a New Year's craft in the form of Santa Claus. We insert beads and buttons, a fluffy dusting brush painted with white gouache becomes a fluffy beard. Cut out a hat from a piece of felt.
Also in the company of Santa Claus With your own hands (also from pine cones) you can make a deer (with antlers made of fluffy wire), a snowman, a penguin in a felt scarf, and a green Christmas tree pine cone, decorated with beads and flowers cut from lace.
Other bright crafts and toys made from pine and fir cones are collected in a large article with photographs
Volumetric Santa Claus
From modular origami.
If you know how to fold an Origami module. It doesn’t cost you anything to create such a pot-bellied Santa Claus. YouTube is full of videos that will teach you how to fold a triangular paper origami module in 2 minutes. For 2 pm make yourself a bunch of modules (the family will help), and on the third evening fold Santa Claus. Assembly takes place without glue. Each module fits into each other - like a groove into a groove.
Green Christmas tree also consists of modular origami. And you can make a snowman and a deer, if you think with your head...
DIY Santa Claus
FROM PAPER CONES.
We all know how to make paper cones - like bags for seeds. We need a semicircle - which we roll into a bag and glue the side seam of the bag with glue (or not with glue, but with a stapler).
Or you can provide paper latches on the bag - slits and ears that fit into each other. On the template below we see that on the left we have an incision (short dotted line), and on the right there is a protruding eye (along the edge of the hem of the fur coat). We cut out such a template (diagram below), paint it and connect it into a bag - inserting the eyelet into the cut (or you can simply fix everything with glue without any ears).
Santa Claus is easy and quick to make based on a regular cone. Below I give large circuits for large figures. The actual size of the diagram corresponds to A3 format - it’s like two landscape pages. You won't be able to print it on a printer - you need to go to the printing center. But the craft will be large and nice in size.
Here is another large template for making Santa Claus out of paper - it is also in A3 format - print in the center of the printout.
But this template is smaller - if you want, you can also enlarge it to a large size. Each craft is beautiful - you must agree. You can just imagine how Grandfather Frost stands proudly on the windowsill and pleases the eye. Great craft - elegant and simple.
Children's craft Santa Claus
From toilet paper rolls.
Cardboard rolls are great for children's crafts. In the photo below we see how you can play up the image of Santa Claus based on this “toilet roll” form.
The elements can be made from paper, felt, cotton wool, formiam, fabric or knitted socks.
Santa Claus and dishes
(pots, cups, plates).
And in this section of the article I want to show how to make an original craft from non-standard materials with your own hands.
From flower pots you can collect Santa Claus. We will make a beard for this grandfather from gypsum plaster. You can buy it at a hardware store gypsum plaster(it’s cheap in small packaging, you can buy half a kilo). We dilute the gypsum mixture with water to a thick porridge. And quickly, before it thickens and dries, we sculpt a beard for Santa Claus. Pots can also be coated with plaster porridge, in those places where we depict fluffy fur or snow. If sprinkled on top glitter(nail polish) it will turn out that snowy places sparkle in the sun.
Or here are New Year's crafts from disposable colored cups. Here the cups are placed in a circle on the floor (glue the round dance together using hot glue from a gun). Then, on a round dance, we make a second tier-floor, then a third - they themselves will be rounded into a spherical shape (because the cups at the bottom are narrower than at the edge). We make one ball for the belly and one ball for the head of Santa Claus. We make mittens, a belt, eyes, a mustache, and a hat from paper and fabric.
And we begin to make a green Christmas tree from cups according to the principle of a round dance. But we put a paper cone inside it. And we also attach the cups along the upper floors to the walls of this paper cone.
From the remaining red cups and toilet paper rolls you can make cute Frosties with a cotton wool beard.
And disposable flat plates can become a source of such children's crafts. Place beige paper on the bottom of the plate (this will be the background of the face). Without a beige or pink background (just on a pale plate) it will not be beautiful.
Craft Santa Claus
Made from felt and formiam.
Now a new ornamental material has appeared on sale - formiam. This brainchild of modern technology is very suitable for making voluminous, plump crafts that are well attached to each other using hot glue. In the photo below you see a Santa Claus craft made from formim (a porous thick material).
But crafts made from felt will still be more durable. And warmer to the touch. More dear, closer.
You can make Santa Claus appliques from felt on a round piece of paper - you will get a toy pendant for the Christmas tree.
Please note how in the photo below the fastening of the applique parts is done - with sparse stitches, parts are tacked here and there (the beard and mustache are held on by 4-5 stitches).
If you make a HOOP from cardboard, wrap it in fabric and decorate the front with a figure of Santa Claus, then we will get a headdress for the New Year. It can be worn for children's holiday dinners, or worn directly over a hat on the street - delighting passers-by with its New Year's look.
In addition to hard felt, you can use SOFT FLEECE. This is the material from which sweatshirts and bikers are made. It is suitable for sewing soft toys in the form of Santa Claus or plump pillows (as in the photo below).
But Santa Claus, where FELT (wool for felting) is present, is in the left photo below. And also a figurine of Santa Claus made from a ball of red thread and a piece of white centipon and a felt cap. The face can be made from a tennis ball, tinted beige.
Knitted Santa Claus.
You can also knit a New Year's Santa Claus from threads with crochet or knitting needles. Below, for inspiration, I have posted several photo samples of such DIY crafts.
You can simply crochet a flat figure. Use it as an applique for a craft, or as a toy pendant for the Christmas tree.
You can make a beard from chopped bundles of thread (fluffy like a real one) or simply tie it with a wedge (like a knitting sprout).
And here is an example of Santa Claus knitted with his own hands. Choose your favorite knitting method and start making a real surprise for the whole family with your own hands. Such New Year's toy will accompany your holiday every year, like a tradition, like a family heirloom, made by your mother’s beloved hands.
Here are some ideas on the theme of Santa Claus with your own hands - from everything - from paper to knitting. Now you will definitely make yourself a magical Santa Claus who will fulfill your wishes this year. Because you deserve it. Because you are good.

If you like our site, you can support the enthusiasm of those who work for you.
Happy New Year to the author of this article, Olga Klishevskaya.
There is nothing more enjoyable than creating New Year's crafts with your own hands.
On this magnificent holiday, which gives us the pleasant smell of tangerines and fir branches, it is better to decorate the house in a special way.
It's no longer so interesting to buy in a store, Christmas decorations and other decorations.
Today it is in fashion to create everything yourself, because it is more valuable and it contains a piece of your soul.
Besides, you won’t see such creative New Year’s crafts on store shelves. Everything is typical and the same as thousands of people.
Be original, please your children, loved ones and, most of all, yourself. No more spending money on expensive new Year decoration, it is better to spend them on gifts.
New Year's craft Santa Claus from a pine cone
A funny and cheerful grandfather, which is very easy to make. To do this, take:
- big bump;
- plasticine;
- a sheet of black and red paper;
- scissors;
- paints and brushes;
- floss or regular sewing threads.
Do-it-yourself Santa Claus from a pine cone will become the most interesting New Year's craft, because a holiday without Santa Claus is not a holiday, but with such a sweet and kind old man - everything is New a year will pass Also.
We will need plasticine in three colors: black, yellow and red.
The floss threads can be replaced with any other ones. I wouldn’t say that sewing threads would be a great option; it’s better to take knitting threads. But if you don’t have any other than sewing ones, then just use more of them.
How to make Santa Claus from a pine cone with your own hands
The New Year's Santa Claus craft is done in just a few steps:
- creating a torso;
- head;
- decoration.
We will make a body from a pine cone, which we will thoroughly paint red.
I used regular watercolor paints. I applied two coats and it turned out a deep red color.
You can also use gouache, I think it will look even better.
We take a black piece of plasticine and make boots and gloves.
While the cone is drying, you can start creating a head for New Year's Santa Claus.
The head is made of plasticine. Roll yellow (white or beige) plasticine into a circle.
Take the floss threads and cut off ¼ of the skein for the beard. To make your beard fluffy, you can cut the bottom of the threads.
The rest of the threads will go to the hair.
Gluing your beard is easy. We work with plasticine, and it is known to be a malleable material for creating New Year's crafts.
We push the threads for Santa Claus's beard from the pine cone into the plasticine and disguise it, smoothing the plasticine.
Do the same with your hair.
We make our grandfather's eyes and nose. Traditionally made of black and red flowers.
You can experiment and make your eyes out of beads and your nose out of sequins.
The head is ready, now you need to make a hat for Santa Claus. We will make it from colored paper.
Roll the paper into a cone and glue it.
We cover the bottom of the hat with cotton wool and insert a boom box.
We attach all the parts of the New Year's craft together.
And for decoration we make a belt from black colored paper. It turns out this is Santa Claus from a pine cone. He looks almost like he's alive.
New Year's craft “Winter in a glass”
Very original craft, which can be both a decoration for the New Year's interior.
Interesting idea I liked the fact that it is quite simple to make.
Children will be happy to help you create “Winter in a Glass.”
For the New Year's craft we will need:
- transparent dessert cup;
- salt;
- album sheet or colored paper;
- ribbon;
- PVA glue;
- Super glue;
- scissors;
- decorations.
There is no need to tear the lid off the cup - remove it carefully so that you can easily glue it back later.
We will need paper to create gifts, as well as ribbon.
Any decorations will do. You can use sequins, beads and other decorative elements.
You can put children's toys from Kinders related to New Year's themes into the glass as contents.
I didn’t have any kinder ones, so I decided to make a Christmas tree with gifts.
How to make a New Year's craft “Winter in a glass”
What materials will you need:
- cardboard box;
- album sheets;
- colored paper;
- PVA glue;
- cotton wool;
- scissors;
- mechanism for watches.
The watch mechanism can be purchased at the store. It is not expensive, but if you have an old alarm clock or a non-working clock, you can get the mechanism from there.
How to make the basis of a New Year's clock
We start our New Year's craft by covering the box with white album sheets.
We cut out the lid of the box into a triangle to match the roof and also paste it over.
After this, we begin to glue the watch with colored paper. You can choose various colors, even make them colorful.
How to make a roof for a New Year's clock
I made the roof from cotton wool and cardboard. We fold the cardboard into a triangle and begin to cover it with cotton wool.
It's quite easy to do. It turns out this is a snow-covered New Year's roof.
For beauty, we added a chimney. You can make something of your own. For example, Santa Claus climbing onto the roof, various birds and other decorations.
Use scissors to make a hole in the center of the clock and insert the mechanism.
New Year's clock decor
You can decorate it however you like. We decided to make a dial out of sequins and paint it with a corrector.
We liked drawing the most. Lots of snowflakes, snowmen, gifts and beautiful patterns- the most best decoration.
Anything that comes to your mind, you can draw with a proofreader.
If you are good at drawing with paints, pencils or felt-tip pens, you can use them.
Give free rein to your imagination, and you will get an original New Year's craft “Clock”!
I hope we were able to give you some ideas for interior decoration in the New Year. Your children and you will be satisfied, and guests and friends will ask you to make the same for them!
