Design trends, nowadays, extend to the decoration of the New Year tree. You can buy all toys in a specific color scheme, take into account the size and lighting, and create a stylish and elegant composition.
And if you don't think about New Year's decorations as part of the interior, and see the tree, not as a design solution, but remember how you felt when you were 5?
You, for sure, were not interested in either the color of the Christmas tree decorations, or their correct combination. Each toy seemed magical, each shiny ball, swinging, reflected the whole world, and the star at the top was unattainable and beautiful. Now you are an adult and reasonable person, and you know the value of time and illusions.
And if in your distant childhood you had a grandmother-needlewoman who knew how to do fabulous things, and taught you to make garlands of colored paper, gild cones and wrap nuts in foil, then today, at the touch of a button, you buy designer toys and your own holiday is not can be created by the hands of others.
It will turn out elegantly, tastefully, it will fit into the design, but there will be no fairy tale. What is it like for your children in this strictly measured and carefully thought-out holiday?
And if you shake the old days and cut the stars out of a napkin and glue them on the window panes, cut strips of colored paper and glue the garlands, make homemade toys and become for your children an almighty magician who knows how to do everything, even make a star!
Paper crafts for the New Year 2022
DIY magic lanterns are paper crafts that a child can make with your help.
- We paint the cylinder remaining from a roll of toilet paper with acrylic, gold or silver paint, or cover it with gold paper or any color you like.
- From a sheet of colored paper, of a contrasting color, we cut out a rectangle with a width equal to the circumference of the cylinder, and twice as high in height.
- On this rectangle, draw a frame 2 cm wide - this will be the border for cutting.
- We divide the entire space inside the frame with a ruler by 2 cm strips in height and carefully cut it without going beyond the frame line.
- We glue the upper part of the frame to the upper part of the cylinder, and the lower one to the lower one.
- The cut part will bend in height and disperse along the cut lines to form a flashlight.
- We glue the loop and can be hung on the tree.
Very good on origami tree made of colored paper. Paper crafts for little helpers. Do-it-yourself animals: bears, pigs, deer, will give you a reason to be justly proud of yourself.
A funny do-it-yourself pink paper pig can serve as a decoration for a New Year's tree, and as a craft for school.
- We use paper in two shades of pink.
- We make an accordion from a sheet of paper.
- We bend the finished accordion in half - we get a fan.
- We glue the edges on both sides, so that we get a corrugated circle.
- This is the torso of the pig. From another sheet, lighter in color and smaller, we make a head according to the same principle.
- Cut out an oval and draw a muzzle on it. We glue the details.
- The ponytail can be made in a spiral: draw a circle and cut it out in a spiral, the ponytail will turn out to be funny.
- Do not forget the legs with the painted hooves.
Cones on the New Year tree
Christmas cones are the most appropriate decorations for a Christmas tree. They can be painted with gold or silver acrylic paint. Glue bows, shiny beads or tiny bells on the painted cones. Hot silicone is used as a glue.
If you don’t want to paint the buds, you can lightly “snow down” the edge of the cone with glue and sprinkle this part of the surface with glitter or crushed foam.
Cones are very grateful material for New Year's crafts, all kinds of figures can be made from them:
- Gnomes,
- Owl,
- Reindeer,
- Fey
- Or snow queens.
Use materials appropriate to the character and your own idea of the miracle.
Santa Claus
Santa Claus is the main craft for the New Year 2022. We paint the cone with red acrylic paint.
- On the upper part we glue a piece of cotton wool-stylized beard.
- We put on the red cap.
- And it will be absolutely luxurious Grandpa, if in the widest part of the cone you glue a gold braid, like a sash.
Crafts for the New Year for placing gif.webpts
For this, it is appropriate to use burlap. It serves as a backdrop for reds and greens and is always trendy as a natural material.
The newest crafts for the new year will turn out if you change some very old idea. If you've been to Germany, you've probably seen the Adventskalender.
This is a box with chocolate, where each chocolate bar opens its own window corresponding to a specific date. You can use this idea to place small gif.webpts like a wall decoration or a door.
- We use a piece of cardboard.
- On one side, we glue it with burlap.
- We take cylinders from rolls of toilet paper, cut each of them into two cylinders.
- We paint on both sides with acrylic paint of any color. (Acrylic paint is made on water, is environmentally friendly, easy to clean and gives paper or cardboard a certain stiffness, which helps the craft remain well preserved).
It is important that the painted cylinders are well combined with each other:
- Silver-blue-blue
- Gold-red-green.
We glue the dried cylinders onto cardboard in the form of a stylized Christmas tree. Cut the cardboard to the size of the resulting Christmas tree.
We put candy, a Christmas tree toy or any other nice souvenir in each window. You can make gif.webpt bags from burlap, which looks very tempting on a Christmas tree: no one knows what is inside.
You can not sew the bags, but glue them with hot silicone, attach a loop, decorate with gold or colored braid and add a surprise.
The magic of the moment
Take photos of New Year's crafts made by you and your child, glue it on cardboard in a size slightly larger than the photo. The frame can be made from small bumps, shiny tinsel or colored buttons.
And even if you don't have a fireplace to put a photo on, it will forever preserve the magic of the moment.
Dear fans of stylish design and verified compositions! Perform Christmas crafts in the colors that best match the style of your home, and the most demanding connoisseur will not distinguish between toys made by you and those made by an eminent designer. And let's keep it a secret that you are the magician.
