Many people notice that the older they get, the more difficult it is to re-experience that magical feeling of a fairy tale and miracle that always came to us in childhood under New Year.

But we're in website sure - Christmas mood will not keep you waiting if with my own hands make one of these wonderful decorations for your home and Christmas tree. Almost all of them, with the exception of two or three, do not require much time and any special materials - they can be made in half an hour from what is at hand.

Stars made of threads

Wreath made of balloons and an old hanger

In just half an hour, you can make a colorful wreath by purchasing a couple of sets of inexpensive balloons. Blogger Jennifer, the author of this article, recommends straightening out an old hanger, but if you don't have one, a piece of strong wire will do just fine.

• You will need: a couple of sets of balls (20-25 balls different colors and sizes), wire hanger or wire, fir branches, braid or ready-made decoration for decorating a wreath.

Tablecloth made of snowflakes

A delicate and surprisingly festive tablecloth will be made from snowflakes, which we have gotten our hands on since childhood. You can sit down and cut out snowflakes with the whole family, and then lay them out on the table and fasten them with small pieces of tape. A wonderful solution for entertaining guests or just having lunch with the family during the holidays.

Multi-colored hats

The cutest colored hats can be made from leftover yarn, which can be used to make a garland for a Christmas tree or to decorate a wall. Or hang them on a window or chandelier on at different levels. Children over five years old will also cope well with this simple decoration. See details.

• You will need: bushing toilet paper for rings (or regular cardboard or thick paper), scissors, multi-colored yarn and a good mood.

Lamp “Snowy City”

For this charming lamp, you need to measure a piece of paper around the circumference of the jar with a small margin (for gluing), draw and cut out a simple city or forest landscape. Wrap it around the jar and place a candle inside.

• You will need: a jar, thick paper of any color, maybe white, any candle. Another option is to cover the top of the jar with “falling snow” using a special “snow” spray, which is sold in hobby stores.

Balloons with photos

A great idea for decorating a Christmas tree or as a gift for relatives and friends. The photo needs to be rolled into a tube so that it fits into the hole of the ball, and then straightened out with a wooden stick or tweezers. Small black and white rectangular photographs are suitable, and you can also cut the photo according to the shape of a ball or silhouette (as in the case of a cat in the snow).

• You will need: plastic or glass balls, photographs, miscellaneous stuff to fill the ball - tinsel, garlands, coarse salt (for snow).

New Year's lamps

And this miracle is a matter of five minutes. It is enough to collect balls, fir branches, cones and put them in a transparent vase (or a cute jar) and add glowing garlands.

Embers

Glowing garlands, hidden among cones, branches and pine paws, create the effect of smoldering coals in the fireplace or a cozy fire. They even seem to be heating up. For this purpose, a basket that has been lying on the balcony for a hundred years, a nice bucket or, for example, a wicker container for small items from Ikea will be suitable. You will find everything else (except for the garland, of course) in the park.

Floating candles

A very simple decoration for New Year's table or for a cozy evening with friends at New Year holidays- a composition with candles floating in a vessel with water, cranberries and pine branches. You can use cones, orange slices, fresh flowers and leaves from a flower shop - whatever your imagination tells you. And as a candlestick - deep plates, vases, jars, glasses, the main thing is that they are transparent.

Snowman on the refrigerator or door

Children will definitely be delighted with this - it’s fast, fun and very simple, because even a three-year-old can handle cutting out large parts. It is enough to cut out circles, a nose and a scarf from self-adhesive paper, wrapping paper or colored cardboard and attach them to regular or double-sided tape.

Snowflakes on the window

Interesting use for a glue gun lying around. In order to glue these snowflakes to the glass, just lightly press them to the surface. For details see our video.

• You will need: a stencil with a snowflake drawn with a black marker, tracing paper (parchment, baking paper), glue gun and a little patience.

Christmas trees-candies

Bright Christmas trees can be built together with the kids for children's party or decorate your holiday table with them. Cut out triangles from colored paper or cardboard, attach with tape to a toothpick and stick the resulting Christmas trees into the candies.

• You will need: Hershey's Kisses or any other truffle candies, toothpicks, tape, colored paper or cardboard with a pattern.

Garland with photographs and drawings

New Year, Christmas - warm, family holidays. And it will come in very handy with photographs, children's drawings, and pictures. The easiest way to secure them is with clothespins, which can be decorated with hearts or snowflakes.

Origami star

Painted spoons

Regular metal spoons or wooden spoons for cooking with acrylic paints turn into interesting New Year's decorations. Kids will definitely love this idea. If you bend the handle of metal spoons, you can hang them on the Christmas tree. And wooden spoons will look great in the kitchen or in a bouquet with fir branches.

Snowman made from a sock

From unnecessary white socks you can make these funny snowmen. Cut off the toe of the sock and tie it with thread on the other side. Pour in the rice, giving round shape, tighten the thread again and add more rice, forming a smaller ball. Sew on the eyes and nose, make a scarf from a scrap, sew on buttons. And the cut off part will make an excellent hat.

In order for the future structure to be stable, one end is twisted like a spiral. On paper draw a circle with lines. We make small cuts on it. Glue the ends of the resulting pieces together. This is how the main tier of the Christmas tree was made.

Chenille wire is a real find for children who love to make things with their own hands. In essence, this is a kind of ready-made constructor. And its undoubted advantage is that if the child makes a mistake, or is already tired of the craft, everything can be unwound and started to create again. I want to tell you about New Year's crafts which we did with the children before the holiday. And show my works in this technique. Some of them I saw on the Internet, some I came up with myself.

"Santa Claus' Mitten"

A small master class.

For flat crafts, I use cards with drawn outlines of various objects. If we talk about New Year's crafts, these are: various stars, snowflakes, Christmas trees, balls, felt boots, mittens, etc.

The chenille wire needs to be laid out along the contour, holding it with one hand and making the necessary bends at the corners with the other. If necessary, we extend the wire with a new piece by twisting one with the other.

Then we fill all the space inside.

You can add white wire - a fur lapel of the mitten.

All that remains is to thread the ribbon, tie a bow - and onto the Christmas tree!

More crafts

This star is made according to this pattern.

Pendant “Two-color ball”

To make such a pendant, you first need to lay out two circles

according to this template.

Then insert one perpendicular to the other, securing it on one top with a “tail” of wire, and on the other with a ribbon, with which the toy will hang on the tree.

This photo shows the beginning of the construction of the Christmas tree.

And this is the final result. New Year's mini tinsel with stars is also used here. It fits very well, and besides, it is also wire-based and keeps its shape.

Here's another Christmas tree.

Make it even easier. Inside the drawn circle, you need to lay the wire quite tightly in a spiral. I laid it from the center. When the spiral is completely laid out, secure the wire by twisting it with the adjacent turn. The tip of the wire in the center is free. It is this tip that you need to pull up. It turns out something like a Christmas tree-spring. You can decorate it to your liking, I have this tinsel.

Chenille wire, in my opinion, is ideal for twisting snowflakes. For example, like these.

Which can be used both as toys for the Christmas tree, and as mobile pendants, or to make a garland with them.
