It is necessary
- - colored and white paper and cardboard;
- - scissors;
- - balls of different colors;
- - wire;
- - small Christmas balls.
Instructions
Step 1
You can start with very simple Christmas tree decorations, which are made from figures cut out of thick colored cardboard - circles of different diameters, stripes, rectangles, squares, rhombuses, ovals. At the same time, learn the names of these figures and their features with your child.
Lay out all the cut out parts in front of you on the table and fantasize about what you can do out of it. Collect circles into a snowman, triangles and stripes into Christmas trees, collect little men from different figures. Try different combinations of shapes and colors and you can get butterflies and flowers, funny animals and cars.
Then just sew the assembled toys on a typewriter, leaving a thread at the top so that you can hang this creativity on the tree.
Step 2
The most New Year's craft is a snowflake. Fold a square sheet of white or blue paper diagonally four times to make eight rays, or three times for six. Use the provided pictures as a template. To make an openwork snowflake as a result, you need to cut out as much paper as possible. Remove excess from both sides of the triangle so that the toy is original and unusual. Carve the edge of the snowflake too.
Step 3
Glue the cone out of thick paper or cardboard. From colored paper, cut strips of different shades and colors, it is possible with a pattern. Starting from the bottom tier, glue the double-bent strips onto the cone, alternating them. Having reached the top, carefully paste over the tip of the cone, and fasten a small Christmas tree toy on top.
Put the snowflakes and small tinsel you cut out on the branch strips - such a Christmas tree can be put on the festive table.
Step 4
From the wire, make a frame for an elegant wreath - a circle of the diameter you need. On it, fix the remains of colorful balls, small Christmas balls and other toys, beautiful buttons, bows and satin flowers - everything that you find in your craft box. Wrap all this with threads and wire on the frame and glue to each other. Such an original wreath will successfully decorate a door or wall in the New Year.
Step 5
Wire and multicolored or solid colored threads will help you create a variety of crafts that are stylish and unique. Wrap paper cones, interestingly shaped bottles and balls with soaked in glue threads. Make the outlines of various objects from the wire - umbrellas, hats, stars, butterflies, flowers and whatever you want.
Put the balls on top of each other - these will be snowmen. Decorate them with the things you made from wire. Use buttons, beads, sequins, tinsel and more to create unique and interesting crafts for the New Year.
Step 6
Cut out the openwork silhouettes of a Christmas tree and a snowman, Santa Claus and Snow Maiden, a bunny and a chanterelle, a deer and a gnome, a kitten and an asterisk. Such toys look good on the window - like the drawings that schoolchildren used to draw on glass. Compose a painting-composition of these figures by slightly dampening the paper with warm water.
Children are happy to do this work. So, without spending any money at all, you will decorate the hall and the nursery and teach your child to cut toys out of paper, craft and glue.
