Lampshades for a garland: from an egg container, packaging material

The sooner you start, the more pleasure you will get from the process, because you will do everything slowly, with feeling and sense. You probably won’t have to buy anything here either. Cardboard and knitting threads will most likely be found if you bought something from technology and tried to knit. You can collect branches on the street. Housewives always have pasta on hand in case they need to cook something quickly. Oranges before the New Year are also not uncommon on the table. And in an apartment where there are children, plasticine is literally lying under your feet.

Toy feeder

A miniature cardboard feeder with real grains, decorated with twigs, will become not a simple Christmas tree toy, but a hand-made creation in eco style.

	Fold the longer rectangle in half.
	Armed with a needle and thread, make a loop of thread.
	To fix the “roof” at a right angle, run hot glue along the fold and bend it as necessary.
	Cut 4 equal-sized pieces of a dry straight branch and glue them in the form of posts at the corners of the cardboard base.
	Lubricate the bottom of the feeder with glue.
	Sprinkle grains on top of the glue before it hardens. The easiest way is to peel a few sunflower seeds.
	Cover the “roof” with dry twigs.
	Cover the side edges of the roof and bottom of the feeder with twigs as well.
	Place a drop of glue on the posts and attach the roof.
	Cover the roof with glue and sprinkle with salt, thereby creating the effect of snow.
	A wonderful decoration is ready.

thread bird

Plasticine stars

It is best to implement this idea using plasticine, which hardens in air, and more precisely dough for modeling, Play-Doh is suitable. But if there is no such plasticine, but there is regular one, make it out of it, just keep in mind that toys can be deformed if handled carelessly.

	You will need several pieces of multi-colored plasticine. Take one or two with glitter. Also prepare cookie cutters for New Year's themed cookies (stars, Christmas trees, bunnies, angels).
	Roll each piece into sausages.
	Place the sausages together and twist, then fold in half and twist again. Repeat until the colors are evenly distributed.
	Roll into a ball.

Handmade candlesticks

Someone New Year associated with tangerines or the smell of pine needles, and for some with the muted light of candles. And where there are candles, there should be candlesticks. Homemade candlesticks are often made from wide and low glass glasses, round vases, but there are also absolutely original options, for example, made from lace napkins. The glass is decorated with branches, tinsel, painted with acrylic paints, and decorated with beads and rhinestones. Here you will find two similar master classes.

"Warm" candlestick

	A glass with a warm Norwegian pattern is ready.

Candlestick with an icicle pattern

In the same way, you can make candlesticks with other designs. If you use templates for vytnanok, it is possible to make candlesticks with snowflakes, deer, bunnies, angels and other characters and ornaments.

	You will need artificial snow in a bag and in the form of a spray, a candle, a glass goblet.

	Secure it to the glass with adhesive tape.
	Let's spray artificial snow.
	Peel off the stencil and put it away. Pour artificial snow from a bag inside.
	Place a candle inside.

Lace decor

	Take a vase of suitable diameter and cover with cling film.
	Pour PVA glue into a bowl and dilute it with a little water. Dip a napkin into the glue and wet it thoroughly.

To make a Christmas stocking you will need a template (you can draw it by hand), glue or a needle and thread, a piece of faux fur or cotton wool. If you want to make a knitted sock, you need a machine-knitted material. Buying it in a store is an unaffordable luxury. We recommend taking an old sweater and using it.

	Let's prepare everything you need.
	Cut out two pieces.
	Place the two pieces right sides together and glue or sew them together.
	Cut a strip from the fabric scraps.
	Make a loop.
	Use faux fur to trim it.

If your goal is not only to make a beautiful decor, but also to show originality, try making a wreath from unusual materials. Surprisingly, even clothespins are suitable for this role.

	Tools and materials: a ring made of cardboard, a lot of clothespins, bows purchased or made from ribbon, green acrylic paints different shades, brush, heat gun, decorations.
	Paint the clothespins with green paint. This can be done with a brush or sponge.

Garlands: from balloons, paper and others

The most democratic option for New Year's decor is garlands. If they are made of paper, then their cost is generally cheap. And you can decorate the Christmas tree, the walls, and the ceiling with them. If you have a lot of Christmas tree decorations lying around as “dead weight”, they will also make an excellent garland.

We have undecorated windows, let's fill this gap. Let's make a garland for the New Year's window from colored paper.

	List of what you need: scissors, glue, pencil, ruler, decorative cord or knitting threads, rhinestones, sequins or something similar.
	Line a sheet of A4 paper. We select the size of the strips as desired; the size of the star will depend on this.
	In our case, one A4 sheet yielded 30 strips: 15 on top and 15 on the bottom.
	Roll the strips into a sharp cone like this.
	Glue so that the edges do not unravel.
	Trim the corners (those areas that do not overlap).
	Glue a star from seven petals.
	Spread two blanks with glue and, placing a lace inside, glue them together.

Pillows with Christmas trees and mittens

Decorating home textiles is a separate area. Buy new pillowcases in New Year's colors - bright red and rich green - and decorate them. You can also take used pillowcases, there’s nothing wrong with that. On the contrary, they will turn from old to new. It is better to decorate pillowcases for decorative pillows, since sleeping on a convex decor is uncomfortable.

	Let's sew a pillow like this with cute Christmas trees.
	We will need fabric for patchwork sewing, a piece of brown cotton fabric, pillowcase, glue or thread with a needle.
	Take a rectangle of colored cotton and fold its corners to form a triangle: first the left and right corners.
	Then the bottom corner. You can glue or sew everything by hand or by machine.
	Make other Christmas trees in the same way.
	We prepared four Christmas trees: two larger and two smaller. Let's lay them out on the pillowcase. Cut out tree trunks from a piece of brown fabric.
	We will glue or sew the “trunks”, then we will glue or sew the Christmas trees on top.

Remember the Christmas stocking we suggested making a little earlier? If you made it, you may have some scraps left over that will be used to make mittens for a pillowcase.

	Do you think it’s difficult to make such a pillowcase with mittens? Lighter than easy.
	You will need a pillowcase, a piece of knitted material, knitted cord, glue or a needle and thread, and a piece of faux fur for the edge.
	Print and cut out the template or draw a stencil by hand; you can use real mittens for this.
	Attach the template to the material and cut out the mittens, do not forget that you should get symmetrical mittens, and not two left or two right. To avoid mistakes, you can fold the fabric in half, right side down, and cut the two pieces together.
	We fix the finished parts on the pillowcase.
	Glue or sew on the edge.
	We secure the cord with glue or with separate stitches, laying it out loosely, making several loops for decoration.

We make a variety of decorative items

Let's make some other items. Don't expect much benefit from them, but Christmas mood will arrive in abundance.

Golden nuts and cones

A long time ago, back in tsarist times, the Christmas tree was decorated with gilded nuts, then they became glass, so why not now make New Year's decor with their participation? We'll pair acorns and cones with the nuts; they complement each other wonderfully.

Santa hat

Recently, foam blanks of the most different forms. Let's take a foam cone and turn it into a Santa Claus hat, decorate it with a recognizable black strap made of satin ribbon with a plaque.

	From the same cone-shaped blank you can make a decorative Santa Claus hat.
	Cover the bottom edge of the cone with masking tape so as not to stain it with red paint, which we will now use to cover the entire cone.
	Apply paint with a wide brush(it's faster this way).
	Sprinkle red glitter on top, although you can choose any color.
	Peel off the masking tape.
	Paint the border with white paint.
	Sprinkle white glitter over wet paint.
	We make a plaque out of foil, smear it with glue and sprinkle it with glitter. We pass a black satin ribbon through the plaque.
	We fix it on the cone with glue.
	Glue a white pompom to the tip of the cap.

Huge balls

It happens that in kindergarten They are asking us to make some kind of voluminous large decor. The idea we posted below is about just such a decoration. In order to actually make giant balls in the form of Christmas tree decorations, you need to buy special inflatable balls. They turn out round.

	Prepare: stapler, decorative wire, scissors, heat gun, round inflatable balls, foil paper, scotch.
	Inflate the balloons.
	Cut a strip 10-15 cm wide from foil paper.
	Glue it into a tube with dark glue.
	Glue it to the tail of the ball.
	Make an imitation of thread from wire. The ball is ready for a huge Christmas tree.

Figurine made of pine cones

Now we’ll make a New Year’s figurine from a pine cone and a piece of tree bark.

	Drop a little PVA glue onto a piece of paper.
	Place glitter nearby. Dip the cone either in glue or in glitter.
	Decorate the cone completely.
	Apply hot glue to a piece of bark.
	Glue a small pine branch.
	Also fix the cone to the bark with hot glue.
	Disguise the gluing area with a bunch of needles and a bow of narrow ribbon.
	To make the figurine look even better, decorate it with beads.

Edible decorations. When it's beautiful and tasty at the same time

It's great when New Year's decor pleases not only the eye, but also the stomach. A frame filled with candies in bright wrappers will brighten up your New Year's Eve. The main thing, while thoughtfully admiring the creation you created yourself, is not to destroy all the candies.

	To make a “sweet” frame, prepare a shadowbox frame, scrap paper, glue, glue-based letters, candies with bright candy wrappers, and red acrylic paint.
	Paint the frame.
	According to the dimensions of the frame back cover, draw with reverse side scrap paper square (rectangle).
	Coat the inside of the lid with PVA glue.
	Glue the scrap paper.
	Stick the word “Falala!” on the glass. (or other).
	Pour the candy inside and close the lid.
	Place it in a visible place, such as a table in the living room, and make sure that the candies are not stolen before the New Year.

It’s easy to make an impromptu snowman from jars filled with various goodies. Put what you like there: chewing marmalade, caramels, marshmallows, cookies. Place it on your desktop and in moments when you feel especially sad, raise the level of the happiness hormone.

	First of all, you need three jars with lids of a similar design or round ones.
	Apply hot glue to the lid.
	Glue another jar on top. Fill them with sweets: candies, marshmallows, cocoa and others.
	Tie a ribbon to the lid of the second jar and trim the edges.
	Make eyes and a nose from buttons and place them on glue.
	Place the lid on a piece of black felt and cut out a circle.
	Then roll a small strip of black felt into a tube and glue it together.
	Glue the felt tube to the circle, and the circle to the lid - this is the snowman's hat.

1. Wreath

One of the most common New Year and Christmas decorations in the Western world is a wreath. It is worth noting that a wreath is a very compact, beautiful and versatile decoration - it can be used to decorate front door, and the interior of the house, and even the New Year's table.

In addition, making a New Year's wreath with your own hands is as easy as shelling pears. There are a great many options for creativity, but they all converge on a common denominator - the shape or frame for the wreath. This form can be bought in a specialized store - it can be a round foam base to which the decorative elements of the wreath are glued (as in the first photo), as well as a wicker form made from branches and dried flowers and more.

However, the base for a wreath can be made very cheaply and cheerfully yourself. In the second photo you see that they are strung on ordinary thick wire Christmas balls and the end result is very voluminous and beautiful wreath. But there are some nuances here - you need to select such Christmas decorations, which sit tightly on their metal hangers (mounts for the ball), or plastic balls.

We can also recommend wrapping a wire frame with newspapers for volume, then with parchment and a piece of fabric, and on top of it you can glue or sew tinsel, fir branches, pine cones, berries and other decorations.
