DIY Christmas tree decorations for children. DIY Christmas tree decorations: master class, photo

Homemade toys for the Christmas tree can be made not only by needlewomen. There is enough simple options, which will not 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 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.

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 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 add 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 true love to the 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. We will make large rays from the first two, and small ones from the third. 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.

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 New Year's toys to the Christmas tree.

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;
• stickers white 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 desired 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. Spread a small circle with glue and place a circle of brown paper on top, slightly bigger size. 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 side edge 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, smaller, for the 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 in search of 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 also be made from book pages, just like a toy - 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. We are looking through 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, find 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 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.

The most beautiful Christmas tree decorations are those made by yourself. Such creativity will help you bring any fantasy to life and make your New Year's decor as original, unusual and very attractive as possible.

In modern stores on New Year's Eve, a person can find a huge assortment of Christmas tree toys from a variety of different materials : glass, plastic, wood, textiles, paper. But just more than half a century ago, it was quite difficult to find a beautiful decoration for the Christmas tree, and people I had to make them myself.

It is worth noting that manual work is very often was distinguished by her skill and was equated to works of art. Many needlewomen still prefer to bring something original to the decor of the room and the Christmas tree, made from the heart and with your own hands.

By following modern master classes, you can learn how to create toys of incredible beauty.

Eg, cotton wool decorations - budget handicrafts. For work you will need:

• Roll of pharmaceutical cotton wool
• Paste
• Newspaper
• Wire
• Paints (acrylic)
• Salty dough

Vatu is necessary pre-paint in different colors. This is done using textile paints, which can be purchased at a household chemical store. The painting process is very simple: put dye in a saucepan with water, add cotton wool, and bring to a boil. The cotton wool is infused for several minutes, after which it is wrung out and dried.

Cooking the paste is also very simple. It is easier to work with than regular PVA glue, as it is more transparent and has a more watery texture. To cook the paste, you need boil a glass of water and dissolve two full tablespoons of starch in it with a slide. The cooled solution will become very sticky.

Salt dough will be necessary in order to create realistic faces and muzzles for toys, since they imitate figures of people and animals. It's easy to knead this dough: mix two parts flour with one part salt and add water by eye so that the texture somewhat reminds you of plasticine.

The dough is formed into the required figurine with notches and baked in the oven for half an hour at a temperature 110-120 degrees. After this, the dough must be painted with acrylic paints, all the details must be drawn: eyes, lips, cheeks and covered with colorless nail polish.

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

The top of the wire should attach a face molded from salt dough (make a hole in it in advance). All details should be done very carefully, hands should be washed often, as the paint will remain on them and spoil the light shades. You can form braids, hats and other little things using thin wooden sticks, which should always help you in your work.

The chain can be made to any length.

The most amazing thing in all this is when you meet her, and there are toys hanging on her, and they are so different. Just like in that song, there are balloons and firecrackers.

Now there are a lot of all kinds of products on sale, artificial snow, rain, tinsel - all this gives us a fairy tale and gets us going. And of course it lifts your spirits. But, besides all this, we all eagerly begin to create for the New Year and do it with the children, which we happily hang on the forest beauty.

You can make New Year's toys with your own hands from anything, waste material or improvised means. And if you still don’t know what to make them from, then you did the right thing by looking at me in this article. Now you will be shocked and quickly run to make something.

And the main thing is that all these ideas are so simple and unique that they will charm anyone. All the crafts that you conjure can be given to friends and colleagues, as well as to please your favorite teachers or... anyone. Friends, create together with your children, because they certainly won’t wait for it.

So, choose the job you like and get to work, because there is very little time left, before you know it, bam and the holiday has arrived! Get ready today. Good luck.

It seemed that nothing could be easier than taking something unnecessary and creating some wonder. But in order to accomplish this you need inspiration, so that you have something to start from. To do this, I have collected a lot of ideas for you, so that from all the variety you can find something that suits your soul.

I want to offer you one interesting option that you will be absolutely delighted with. Let's make toys from plywood. You think it’s impossible to do this, I thought so too, until I saw the step-by-step instructions. Afterwards I gave my husband a task, and the children enthusiastically glued napkins onto the cut out figures and used the decoupage technique. In addition, you can paint with paints. In general, let's take it in order and you, too, will become wizards))).

First, find suitable layouts for which you will make blanks. And of course, find a sheet of plywood or thin scraps of lumber, they will also be suitable for this purpose.

Such homemade things can be made in any size, and unlike glass souvenirs, they do not break, and there is no need to worry about them.

The plywood sheet should be no more than 4-5 mm thick, without knots and without any kind of veneer defects. You should use a jigsaw and an electric drill. Perhaps a hand drill, PVA glue and a heat gun may come in handy.

It is preferable to use acrylic paints and you will also need aerosol varnish. To make the figures shine and sparkle, decorate them with sparkles, tinsel or artificial snow.

On a sheet of plywood, draw all the blanks you have chosen; you can also draw any decor yourself.

Then carefully and slowly cut them out with an electric jigsaw.

Advice! When cutting, guide the file along the outer line (contour) of the depicted templates.

Then you need to make a hole into which you will insert a thread or satin ribbon.

The first layer of paint should be exclusively white; after it dries, apply any other colors and decorate the craft.

And finally, another option that is amazing is decoupage. You can decorate the cut out figures with regular paper or cloth napkins, can you imagine?

For this purpose, take PVA glue and dilute it with water in a ratio of 1 to 1. Cut out the plot you need and glue it to a piece of wood.

Don’t forget to add brightness to this miracle after drying.

Or from paper strips, which you fold like an accordion and then glue together like this:

Among other things, you are the same as last time, when we created New Year symbols from threads, remember? You can take the idea as a basis, and in the same way balloon glue with silicate glue or PVA thread. And after drying, pierce the ball and you will get a light New Year's souvenir.

In the same way, you can make a big snowman and put it under the Christmas tree.

The next job is wow, interesting. It will especially appeal to kids who can’t wait for their moms and dads to want to build everything together, a snowman from cotton pads. Well, did it really turn out lovely?

If you have an old CD lying around, then an ordinary plastic ball will shine from it. How to do it? Yes, from disk fragments, and insert a shiny cloth inside.

In addition, you can decorate ordinary glass or transparent balls in completely different ways. For example, by pushing a photo or your family photo into it.

Another work that is made of tinsel or confetti will make an impression.

Another option is to take a foam sphere and glue or stick sequins onto it.

The next work will be bright and green, this is a charming Christmas tree, which will not be difficult to complete, the trunk will be made from an ice cream stick or take wooden skewers. Follow this masterclass:

Such a forest beauty can become a great gift or decorating any interior in a room or hall.

And here is another craft, which is also in the form, but it is made from cinnamon sticks and artificial tinsel. Instead of decorations, multi-colored buttons are perfect.

We will need:

• tinsel
• glue gun
• buttons
• cinnamon sticks
• rope

Stages:

Cut three strips from tinsel different lengths and attach them to the stick.

Make a loop out of the string and glue it and the tinsel to the cinnamon stick. And then arrange the buttons in a chaotic order.

Some small masterpieces in the form of houses or snowflakes are also created from ice cream sticks.

And also from tubes:

Or from wooden clothespins, the main thing is to decorate with sparkles.

You can find a lot of interesting things, even pasta souvenirs. It was necessary to think of such a thing, crazy hands do not know boredom).

The kids will love another craft option: take a pine cone and turn it into an animal.

Shape the head and ears, and all other parts of the body. You will get the face of a bunny.

Now glue it onto the pine cone.

This is the kind of animal you will get))).
