Christmas decorations that you make with your own hands are not only original toys, but also an opportunity to share your experience with relatives and friends, and to boast of your achievements. If done carefully and with love, your products will look much better and more expensive than store jewelry.

Instructions
Step 1
On cardboard, draw small patterns of Christmas tree decorations - trees, hearts, birds, snowmen, snow maidens, bunnies, stars. Wash, iron, and place the bright shreds on the table. Put cardboard figures on top of them and circle with a pencil or crayon. Fold the halves of the future jewelry right sides up and sew with a overlock using thick threads of a contrasting color. Leave a small hole for filling toys with padding polyester and sewing in a satin ribbon loop, and then sew it up too
Step 2
Prepare thick cardboard, hemp rope, napkins, glue and gold paint. Cut out two identical figures of various decorations for the New Year from cardboard. Make a fairly long loop out of the rope, and place it between the two pieces, which you glue together. When the cardboard is dry, wind the rope around it in random order. Paste all this on both sides with a napkin and let dry. Paint your Christmas decorations with gold paint
Step 3
From the wire, make a frame of six identical beams, fix the middle well. String silver and crystal beads, shiny sequins on each ray. Make loops at the ends so that the jewelry pieces do not fall apart. Tie a thread on one such loop to hang the toy on the tree
Step 4
Collect the buds and cook them for twenty minutes if you want them to open. Dry the material on the radiator. Prepare your workplace - cover the table with oilcloth or newspapers. Paint the buds in different colors with gouache or acrylic paints, you can use nail polish and glitter. Paint the tips of the opened cones with white paint, and sprinkle on top with artificial snow or plain salt. Tie a thread to the top, for which you can hang the decoration on the Christmas tree
Step 5
Make stylish Christmas decorations using unpainted linen or burlap fabric and lace or guipure. Sew simple stuffed toys from these materials and attach satin ribbons to them with buttons
Step 6
From double-sided colored paper with a pattern, cut ribbons twenty centimeters wide. For the first version of making a Christmas tree, bend the strip in half and make even cuts, but do not reach the edge. Stick these tapes onto a pre-made thick paper cone, starting from the bottom. Attach a Christmas tree toy on top. For the second option, do not bend the colored paper tape, but simply cut it with a fringe, which curl into curls with blunt ends of scissors. Assemble the tree in the same way as the first one.
