The material can be found in every home - these are old glossy magazines, newspapers, gif.webpt wrapping, unclaimed beads, scraps of fabric, fur and felt. And also what can be collected on a walk - acorns, cones, beautiful twigs and even bird feathers - will be used. Armed with glue, scissors and your own imagination, you can make unique hand-made things, please your family, surprise your family and friends.
New life of old Christmas balls
In the box where the Christmas tree toys are stored, there will probably be balls that have lost their former attractiveness or are simply bored. Spend a few evenings with nice handicrafts and decorate them in a new way. The proposed ideas are not a strict New Year's master class, where you need to strictly perform certain actions, but only tips for generating your own creative abilities.
Take old nondescript balls, foam blanks, any round objects, burned out light bulbs and get started. Possible options:
- wrap with shreds of fabric,
- paste over with beads or a shiny cord,
- paint with acrylics,
- draw abstract patterns with a gold or silver marker,
- fill transparent balls with buttons or other small objects,
- wrap with multi-colored threads.
Using bright yarn, you can make funny pompons, a Christmas star, or a little Christmas tree.
Just fill in small carnations along the desired contour, soak the thread in starch or glue, wind and let dry - the decoration is ready.
Christmas trees, garlands, pine cones and Christmas cookies
Christmas trees can be made from cardboard, felt, buttons of different sizes, or from rolled up colored paper. An ordinary garland will take the form of Chinese lanterns if you place each element in a box, which is assembled according to the instructions given.
Any child knows how to glue paper garlands. Cover this simple piece with shiny spray paint and the result will amaze you.
Decorate cones, acorns, bird feathers, cardboard stars, and other crafts in the same way.
Delicious toys in the form of gingerbread can not only be hung on the tree, but with their help you can create a picture of the night sky on a window or a sheet of Whatman paper. The gingerbread recipe is here.
A selection of photos will tell you the main direction, and new ideas will be born by themselves. Just do not postpone everything until the last moment, but let the New Year's fairy tale come to life right now.
