Easy crafts for the New Year: candy canes

Even though the instructions are long, this craft is very easy to make.

You will need:

Felt in different colors

Hot glue, super glue or PVA glue

Ribbon or string (to hang the decoration)

Toothpicks, skewers or other parts that will act as lollipop sticks.

1. Cut one strip from each sheet of felt. You can choose its dimensions yourself, but in this example the length of the strips varies from 17.5 to 30 cm, and the width is 1 cm.

* For one lollipop you will need 6 strips. In this example, 2 stripes are used for each of the 3 selected colors.

2. Place all 6 strips on top of each other. Remember that as you roll the strip into a tube, some will start to stick out and you will need to trim them. The strip that is inside the tube will be the shortest, and the outside will be the longest.

* You can cut the strips with scissors as you twist them, or you can cut the necessary strips in advance (approximate length of each strip: 17.5, 20, 22.5, 25, 27.5, 30 cm).

3. Start rolling the strips, adding a little glue between them. Finally, make sure that the outer strip is longer than all the others. Glue the ends of the strips together.

4. Using hot glue, glue the stick to the resulting candy. If desired, you can paint the toothpick or skewer with white acrylic paint.

5. Glue or sew ribbon to the back of the candy so it can be hung on the tree.

New Year themed crafts: Christmas tree made from wine corks

To get the required number of wine corks, you don’t have to buy wine; you just need to order the corks on the Internet or in a store.

You will need:

Wine corks (26 corks were used in this example)

* Instead of corks, you can use cardboard or wooden thread spools.

* If you replace the corks with toilet paper rolls, then painting them will also give you the material you need for your Christmas tree. In this case, the Christmas tree will turn out larger than a Christmas tree made from corks.

PVA glue

Hot glue or superglue

Paints or glitter (to paint plugs or bushings)

Twine and a cardboard toilet paper tube (for the stump on which the Christmas tree will stick).

1. Paint the corks with acrylic paint or, best of all, apply PVA glue and sprinkle glitter on top.

2. After painting the corks (reels), glue them together in a pyramid (see image) using hot glue or superglue.

* It is advisable to glue one row of corks first, then another, and so on until you have the required number of rows. After that, simply glue all the rows together.

3. Cut part of the cardboard tube from the toilet paper, start wrapping it with twine, adding PVA glue to help the twine stick better. You've got a stump.

4. Using hot glue, glue the stump to the tree.

You can glue a button, ribbon, toy or paper star, or a small suitable object in an arc to the top of your head.

How to make a craft for the New Year (video): a snowman from a sock

What could be more magical than a Christmas tree during the New Year and Christmas? In the evening, when the lights are turned off, a fairy tale begins in the mysterious flickering of lanterns in the branches. Everyone comes up with their own magical story.

For some, the nutcracker defeats the king of mice, for others, snowflakes dance in circles. We decided to compose a fairy tale about a Christmas tree elf. It will constantly change, acquire new plots, be supplemented with characters and, most likely, will be different every year. Only the beginning of our fairy tale will always be the same: - Once upon a time, in his cozy house, among the fluffy fir branches, there lived a little Christmas tree elf...

We decided to make such a fairy-tale house with our own hands today. Join us, because the fairy tale is already beginning!

For the walls we will take a rectangular piece from a cardboard box. Let's cut a hole for the window and mark a place for the door. We will strengthen the walls with “wild stone”. Take pieces of eggshell and glue it with PVA glue.

To make the appearance of our masonry more realistic, we need to imitate traces of cement mortar in the seams. And the shells will hold on tighter this way. We will cover the walls with regular gray toilet paper. When it dries, we clean off the excess, exposing the protruding parts of our “stones”.

When the scales of the cones stick well, we will attach a pipe, because there will probably be a fireplace or stove in the house so that our elf can live warm and can cook magic potions or porridge.

We twist the pipe from a small piece of cardboard and cover it with lentils, as if it were a fireproof pebble.

To make it even more important, we will make a ladder for the roof. It is made from the same toilet paper, twisted into flagella. Yes, we almost forgot about the frame for the window, let's cut it out of cardboard.

Now let's put the roof in place and paint the facade of the house. We will do this with regular gouache. Although acrylic will be better, it does not need to be varnished.

All that remains is to glue the finished fairytale house onto the base. Since we planned that our elf will have light in the window, we will cut a hole in the base for the LED.

We wanted to decorate the “yard”. Snow is cotton wool, and a snowman is made of it. A Christmas tree is that “torn” cone, painted green. This is not necessary; perhaps your elf will live in a hanging house. Then only the bottom and the loop will be useful.

We made such a fairy-tale house with our own hands in just one evening, and the little Christmas tree elf has already begun to live his own life. A bathhouse, a cellar, and even neighbors with their own houses have already been invented for him, this is a hedgehog and a squirrel.

Decoupage - decorating a bottle of champagne for the New Year

A gift made with your own hands is always original and unique. Do you want to surprise your loved ones? Decoupage a bottle of champagne. This New Year's craft will not go unnoticed.

For decoration you will need:

• A bottle of champagne;
• three-layer napkin with a New Year's motif;
• PVA glue;
• acrylic paint;
• decorations.

First of all, you need to clean the bottle from stickers. To do this, put it in a container of warm water and leave it for a while.

Cover the entire open surface of the bottle with acrylic paint. The first layer can be applied with a brush. After drying, we paint the bottle a second time, but use a piece of sponge (“smack it”).

In just an hour, the acrylic paint will dry, so you can remove the tape from the neck and proceed to the next stage of decoration. Take a decoupage napkin and tear out the selected fragment of the design from it.

We remove the two bottom layers from the napkin, and place the top one face down on a stationery file. Carefully pour some water over the drawing, straightening out all the wrinkles.

We smooth the file with our hands. We make sure that the napkin is securely fixed on the surface, and then carefully remove the file from the bottle.

We dilute PVA glue with water in a ratio of one to one. Apply this solution to the entire surface with the pattern using a brush. Its movements should be from the center to the edges, we try to smooth out all the wrinkles and expel the bubbles.

After the glue has completely dried, take fine sandpaper (preferably “zero”) and carefully sand the contours of the napkin. We also process those places where unevenness has formed.

Next, take a sponge or a piece of foam rubber, dip it in acrylic paint, and “smack” it along the edges of the pattern fragment. In this way we try to disguise the transition from the napkin to the main surface of the bottle.

The work is almost complete, all that remains is to add some “zest”. For example, glue a ribbon to the neck. The easiest way to do this is with a glue gun. The braid will not only complete the entire ensemble, but will also close the transition from paint to foil.

DIY New Year's snowflake

The New Year holidays are approaching and New Year and Christmas motifs are increasingly heard in our creativity. I suggest knitting a small snowflake that can be used to decorate children’s mittens and hats, and by attaching a loop to the snowflake, you can hang it on the New Year tree. This snowflake is knitted very quickly and easily. Even a novice knitter can handle this job.

Materials and tools:

Karachay acrylic yarn of white or blue color is used for knitting. I took this yarn so that the loops could be seen better. Hook number 3 is suitable for this yarn.

You can use thinner yarn, then the snowflake will be even smaller.

Abbreviations used in the text:

VP - air loop;

СС2Н - double crochet stitch.

We will complete the entire drawing in one row. Let's start by casting on four chain stitches. We close 4 VPs into a ring with a connecting loop. Next, we collect 3 VP.

We knit 1 CC2H into a ring.

We knit a chain of 4 VPs.

And we close the chain of 4 VPs with a connecting loop to the beginning of the chain. We dial 5 VP and close to the same point. Next 4 VP and a connecting loop to the same point. We knit 4 VP to move to the next ray of the snowflake.

We knit 2 CC2H with a common top: On the hook there is one loop from the last VP of the chain of 4 VP, one more loop remains from each unknitted CC2H.

We knit three loops on the hook in one step.

We close the chains of 4, 5, 4 VPs with a connecting loop into the common top of double crochets. After each ray we knit a chain of 4 VPs. We complete the motif with a connecting loop in the first ray. We cut the thread and fasten it.

If you want to use a snowflake as a Christmas tree decoration, you will need to tie a loop and starch the product.

The snowflake is ready! The master class was prepared by Svetlana Chalkina.

Plasticine mittens - winter craft

What could be warmer and more pleasant than warm woolen mittens that warm your hands on a frosty day. If you make them with your own hands, for example, from plasticine, then such a craft can rightfully be considered a winter craft. With these mittens you can catch a magical winter fairy tale, because they are made with love and will definitely come in handy as a gift made from the heart.

On the eve of the New Year, copies of Christmas trees, Father Frost and Snow Maiden are usually made. The mittens offered are unique, the craft is not similar to others. And it will be all the more interesting to make it with children, especially since it is so simple.

What you need to use to sculpt mittens:

• white and blue plasticine;
• a small strip of lace to create a believable knitted texture;
• toothpick

How to make mittens from plasticine
The white and blue set is a very good option for sculpting the chosen craft. Mittens should be woolen, knitted, cozy. They are indispensable in the cold season, when there are snowdrifts on the streets, the sun shines brightly, but does not warm. We definitely buy new accessories for ourselves and never go out without taking this important thing.

First, make soft pellets to create the top of the craft. You need to prepare 2 balls of different sizes. The larger one will be for the palm, the smaller one for the thumb cell. Soften the plasticine in your hands and immediately proceed to the next step.

Press down the larger and smaller white pieces to form flat cakes. Then, on one side, lightly squeeze on both sides, on the other, on the contrary, round and smooth with your fingers. Lock your palm and thumb together. Smooth out the joint. The body of the craft itself is ready. You shouldn't stop at this stage either. You need to act quickly while the plasticine is still warm. Now we need to create a knitted texture.

Make the bottom part - blue cuffs for accessories. Pull two blue pieces into flat cakes.

While the plasticine on the white part of the craft has not yet hardened, make a lace surface, or rather, an imitation of it, using a piece of lace. Press the lace onto the soft plasticine and apply slight pressure with your fingers onto its surface. After you remove the fabric, an imprint will remain on the soft surface that will be very similar to the desired texture.

Instead of lace, something knitted, such as a napkin or even socks, will also work. Experiment and be surprised, because this is such an unusual way of applying a relief pattern to a plasticine surface.

Make both mittens textured. On a blue background, use a toothpick to also create a knitting effect by drawing small notches.

Pin the mittens together to complete your craft project.

An interesting winter option for children's creativity is done very quickly. In the process of work, children will learn not only to create parts of different shapes and sizes from plasticine, but also to create unusual relief designs on a smooth surface. Now think about what other plasticine-knitted items you can make. For example, model a hat or sweater using the same scenario.

New Year's deer made of felt - DIY craft

New Year's deer is a very common symbol of the upcoming holiday. A soft toy in the shape of this cute animal, made with your own hands, can serve as both an excellent decoration for the New Year tree and a pleasant souvenir given with all your heart.

The process of sewing a deer is a very exciting activity and, at the same time, quite simple, which even a primary school student can handle.

For work we will need the following materials:

1. Medium density felt, brown or gray;
2. paper;
3. pen or thin chalk;
4. threads to match the felt or in a contrasting color;
5. padding polyester or other filler;
6. ready-made eyes or beads;
7. sequins, beads or beads.

Draw the silhouette of a deer on paper or print out a ready-made template and cut it out.

We transfer the image onto felt and carefully cut it out in duplicate.

We are preparing decor that will make the deer brighter and more festive. In our case, the decoration is a snowflake crocheted from the remnants of red thread. We cast on 11 air loops and close them into a ring, then perform 14 sc (single crochet) inside the ring.

Using a double crochet (dc), we knit a “flower”, trying to distribute all the stitches evenly.

In the formed arcs between the dc we knit 5 dc, between which we make arches of 10 dc. loops

We tie the resulting element sc, knitting a picot from 3 air. loops approximately in the middle of the arch.

Iron the resulting snowflake with a hot iron, trying to give it the correct shape.

Sew a snowflake to one side of the deer. The middle of the snowflake can be decorated with sequins and beads or a button.

Glue on the eyes.

We prepare the padding polyester and sew the blanks together, starting with the horns. It should be noted that there is no need to stuff the toy with padding polyester too tightly, as this may cause the seams to become uneven.

New Year's souvenir is ready!

DIY candles - crafts for the New Year

Candles have always been an integral attribute of any holiday or romantic evening. After each celebration, you most likely throw away candle stubs that could have been put to good use. If you have accumulated candle stubs, you can make new candles with your own hands.

Necessary materials:

• Old candles;
• toothpicks;
• small sticks;
• molds.

You need to melt the wax until it becomes completely liquid. To do this, place the wax in molds in a water bath.

Preparing the molds.

When the wax has already become liquid, pour it into the prepared molds.

You can use a cotton thread as a wick, or take it from old candles. To prevent it from floating, we take a metal holder from the old candle and attach the wick.

Then we dip it in wax.

Place any stick on top to secure the wick.

Let the candles dry for a day.

When the candles are dry, remove them from the molds. To do this, put them in boiling water for a few seconds.

To decorate the candles, I used gold ribbon and paper napkin. After I wrapped the candles, they became more festive.

To decorate the candle in the glass, I used a Christmas tree decoration, tying it to the glass.

In this simple way you can make New Year's candles with your own hands. You can experiment with different molds, or decorate finished candles with coffee beans.

Step-by-step master class with photos on how to make it -.

DIY New Year's composition with hats

Create a New Year's atmosphere in your home with a fun arrangement of miniature hats. This master class is ideal for creative activities with children.

Necessary materials:

1. Multi-colored knitting threads;
2. a cylinder made of thin cardboard;
3. white acrylic paint;
4. dry branch without leaves;
5. glass bottle of wine or champagne.

Let's make hats from threads. Take a cardboard cylinder and cut it into rings 1.5–2 cm wide. You can also make rings yourself from thick paper, fixing them with a stapler.

Cut 30 cm of thread and fold it in half. You will need approximately 30–40 such pieces, depending on the diameter of the ring.

Thread the thread, folded in half, into the paper ring. Thread its ends into the resulting loop and tighten the resulting knot.

Tie the remaining threads on the ring in the same way. Try to place them close to each other, avoiding the formation of gaps.

When the ring is completely braided, thread the ends of the threads through it, as if turning it inside out.

Tie the ends of the threads using an additional thread of the same color.

Trim the ends of the threads, forming a neat pompom on the hat.

Straighten the cap from the inside, making it more voluminous. Fluff the pompom.

Make hats in other colors in the same way.

Let's make a small winter composition. To do this, you will need a small dry branch, which can be found in the park.

Paint it white, creating the effect of a snow-covered winter branch. Leave it to dry.

Take an empty glass bottle and apply 2 coats of acrylic paint evenly, being careful not to leave very visible brush strokes. Let it dry completely.

Putting the composition together. Place the branch in the bottle. Put caps on small branches. You can decorate the branch using threads and beads.

Detailed master classes with step-by-step photographs are here.

Wreath for New Year and Christmas from willow branches

The next master class is “Do-it-yourself Christmas wreath.”

To make the decoration we will take the following materials:

• Willow twigs (medium thickness);
• New Year's tinsel;
• cones;
• items for decorating cones (paints, glitter, beads, rhinestones, etc.);
• moment glue, thin copper wire or nylon threads for attaching decorative elements.

Important! To prevent the vine from breaking, you need to weave it as soon as it is broken. If the branches dry out, nothing will work.

Let's start forming the wreath.

We take several thin branches (long ones) at once and form a ring, intertwining them with each other.

If it doesn’t immediately turn out to be the correct shape, don’t be upset; with subsequent weaving, the ring will even out. It is necessary to weave the vine by securing the end between the rods of the previous circle.

Thus, we continue to weave the wreath to the required size.

The basis for the festive wreath is ready, now you can move on to the decoration.

We take tinsel and wrap the finished ring so that the gaps are visible. At the bottom of the wreath we leave a little space for attaching decorative cones.

Let's move on to decorating the cones. To do this, you can use everything you have enough imagination for (paints, rhinestones, beads, ribbons, glitter, and so on).

The end result was these beautiful decorative cones.

To attach the cones to the wreath, you can use instant glue, thin copper wire or nylon thread. In my case, moment glue was used.

That's all, the wreath is ready for the festive decoration of the house. A minimum of effort and time was spent, but maximum pleasure was gained from spending time.

You can even get the whole family involved. This way everything will be much more interesting.

New Year's crafts - DIY felt boots

You can put a New Year's gift for your child in a felt boot that you sew with your own hands.

You can hang this textile decor on a Christmas tree or a doorknob.

To work you will need:

1. A piece of fabric;
2. edging for top;
3. decorative braid and beads for decoration.

If the fabric is thin, you can make the felt boots double - lined, it will look more voluminous and presentable.

Decide on the size of your boot. Re-make the felt boots pattern. It is as simple as possible, you can draw it yourself, leave a little space for seam allowances.

Since in this case the fabric chosen for the felt boots was raincoat fabric, the pattern was also transferred to the lining.

Secure the fabric with pins, sew along the line, and cut out the blank.

In the rounded areas, carefully make cuts with sharp scissors. Turn the boots inside out.

Felt or a thin strip of fur is suitable for edging. The remnants of coat fabric are used here.

Decorate your boot with snowflakes or applique. Sew on a loop so that the felt boots can be hung. Make the buboes from a small piece of bouclé, collected and sewn into a ball.

Such a boot can be useful not only as packaging, but also as decoration.

New Year's boot with a bunny

New Year's gifts are the most desirable for all children. They write letters to Santa Claus, asking him to give them toys and sweets. Then they expect all their desires to be fulfilled. A good wizard always responds to their requests. Under the Christmas tree on New Year's Eve, children find plush bunnies and bear cubs, dolls and baby dolls. You can also make a gift in the form of a craft with your own hands from any materials available for children’s creativity, for example, plasticine.

This lesson shows the stages of making a plasticine craft for the New Year in the form of a bright boot with a bow, filled with gifts, the main one of which is a white bunny.

To sculpt a New Year's gift, prepare:

• white, red, blue, black, green plasticine;
• tool.

How to make a New Year's craft from plasticine

The plasticine set contains not just bars, but a whole treasure, toys, accessories, even gifts for the New Year. It’s easy to make all the products yourself, having detailed instructions at hand, which is what this detailed master class is. Fantasize and enjoy the creative process.

To begin, take red plasticine and knead it thoroughly in your hands. Form a boot from the soft mass. Pull the mass into a cylindrical part, then pull out the resulting cylinder on one side and press it with your fingers at a right angle.

In the right places, simply smooth the surface of the boot, giving it a believable appearance. The base of the craft is ready. Of course, in reality, the part should be hollow inside, but we will not cut a hole, and we will simply place the bunny toy on top, or rather, we will only make its upper part.

To decorate your New Year's product, pull out several threads of white, green, and blue. Roll out the soft mass with your fingers with light pressure, pressing it onto a hard surface.

Use a thin green sausage to make a edging for the boot top. Use a blue sausage to model a bow - it will look very beautiful on a gift. Twist the white and red sausages into a flagellum. Press down over the entire surface. Trim off the excess on both sides. Then bend it so that you get Santa Claus's staff.

Form blanks for the top part of the bunny figurine. For a plush toy we will show only the head with long ears and front paws. Use white plasticine for modeling.

Glue white cheeks onto the head ball and pierce them with a toothpick, showing the hairiness. Attach black eyes and nose. Shape the remaining white pieces into the shape of ears and paws.

Glue the parts to the top of the red boot so that the impression remains that the bunny is sitting inside and just looking out.

Add the decorative elements prepared earlier. Place a white and red staff near the bunny's head. Add a bow to the top of the boot.

A unique plasticine gift dedicated to your favorite holiday - New Year - is ready. Having made the same base, you can put a bear or a gingerbread man in the boot. Any option will be welcome and so cute.

You can also involve children in making the following New Year crafts. Such joint creativity will bring great joy to both children and parents. After all, for the winter holidays you want to decorate your home in a special way. You don’t need to master complex needlework techniques; you can try to make something interesting from plain white paper.

As children, we all learned to cut out lace snowflakes from paper folded in several layers. But decorating your home with snowflakes is too banal and simple. Use your imagination and let the openwork weaves turn into dresses for graceful ballerinas soaring under the ceiling.

For work you will need the following materials:

• Sheets of white paper;
• scissors;
• pencil;
• fishing line

First, on paper, draw with a pencil the silhouettes of graceful ballerinas who raise their legs and move their arms to the sides. Or download ready-made ballerina templates. Cut out their images along the outline. Then make the most delicate snowflakes so that they are fluffy and light.

Try to cut the hole in the center so that the ballerina can fit into it. Glue snowflakes at the dancers' waist level.

Watch the video tutorial on how to make such a New Year's decoration - ballerina snowflakes with your own hands.

Volumetric foam snowflakes

The same openwork snowflakes made of paper are taken as a basis, the design is transferred, for example, to polystyrene foam or polystyrene foam. Using a sharp knife, all the necessary elements are cut out, and the result is unusually beautiful, voluminous snowflakes.
