Another interesting decoration option is a chain of colored hearts, and it is much easier to connect the elements with a stapler. By analogy with the previous master class, the required number of narrow strips are cut from colored paper.

It turns out an unusual decoration that looks elegant in the decor of the room.

You should get a double-sided element. Flags of a different color are prepared in the same way. Each flag is opened, glue is applied to the fold line and a strong thread is glued until the required amount of paper parts for the garland is collected.
Alternatively, the flags can be made triangular by gluing the free corners of the products. Sometimes patches of colored fabric are used for such decoration. After the New Year, you can hang garlands with flags to decorate a children's party.
Christmas trees
What is New Year without a tree? You can decorate the festive beauty with your own colored paper crafts. To make a voluminous hanging decoration, you need to take paper, scissors, cardboard, glue and tape.

The next step is to string in order the second edge of each strip, the second circle and another bead, and remove the loop. If you loosen the thread, you get a beautiful ball-shaped toy, you can additionally decorate it.
From circles
Wicker paper balls
You can use ready-made schemes of New Year's decorations to make balls and make them out of paper with your own hands or weave complex toys. Curly strips and a small circle are cut out according to the templates. Lay out the details in the shape of a flower, glue a circle in the center. Next, the strips need to be weaved like a pigtail from many strands.
So that the structure does not disintegrate, and it is convenient to work, the strips are fixed with ordinary clothespins. By the end of weaving, a ball will form, the edges of the curly strips are again fastened with a circle and a loop of shiny thread is threaded.

Then in the center of the workpiece we coat with glue and take a strip at the beginning from one edge. We bend and glue. Then we glue the second strip, the third.
We hold the glued strips and glue the remaining ones.
Having done on one side, go to the second half and do everything in the same way.

Hello everybody. It turns out that if you are bored and do not know what to do with your child, ordinary paper, or rather paper toys, can save you. And today we will not just talk about applications, origami, carving animals, but about toys that will save you from boredom not for 10 minutes or even for half an hour. I guarantee at least 1 hour of fun. What do-it-yourself paper toys for children can you make?
Boomerang That Returns
Yesterday we played with such a cardboard boomerang for half a day. Surprisingly, he really does return, which was not seen for purchased plastic boomerangs.
The paperrang is not entirely made of paper, made of cardboard, but I think you have cardboard, you need a very small piece. Wonderful toy for boys and girls.
Kite
If a boomerang can be launched at home, then a kite requires not only an open area, but also special weather conditions. It will not fly without wind. So, if the wind is outside, feel free to make a snake and run outside. It is very fun and exciting to operate it. But not everyone succeeds right away. Olezhka (4 years old) has not yet mastered the control of the kite, he could not release the rope in time for the kite to fly higher. And I was happy as a child - I had never launched kites before.
Paper weapon
For real knights, I suggest making a weapon: sword, kunai, dagger, spear.
Why do they:
- Firstly, knowledge in the arms business is expanding.
- Secondly, you cannot buy such in a store: I have not seen spears on sale, and even kunai even more so.
- Thirdly, they can be fought all day long, they are quite durable.
- Fourth, you can sleep with them - they are safe. A joke, but maybe not. But my son fell asleep without letting go of them.
Here's what we got from the video tutorials:
Video tutorials on which we did:
Kunai

We strengthened with scotch tape. It should be mentioned that by doing various freestyle exercises with nunchucks, the child strengthens his body. This kind of light gymnastics is very useful. For beginners, try to master one simple technique: to do this, you need to describe the conditional "eight" in the air.

Morgenstern
It is a strike weapon, the warhead of which is a metal ball equipped with long iron spikes and resembling a star with outgoing rays.

Gun
A paper gun with paper bullets quickly fails - the paper bends, but it will last for 1 hour of play !. If strengthened with chopsticks, it can become eternal. But who needs an eternal toy. According to statistics, on average, a toy gets bored in 25 minutes.
Our little master class on Instagram:
We'll probably finish with weapons, because we need the girls not to get bored either.
Spiner
Not a simple spinner, but on strings. It seems to me much more interesting than the usual one. What a beautiful rainbow you can see on it in motion. You can study how colors are mixed. And how he makes noise, whistles, blows the wind! Just be careful, he can make a wound if the spinning one is brought to the body. Almost like a saw. Take the rope tighter so that it does not fly away when the rope breaks.

Paper kaleidoscope
Yula made of paper
Paper spinner
This wind wheel craft can be a fun toy for kids. With its help, you can conduct real competitions. If you blow gently on the wheel, it will roll, and the winner is the one whose wheel rolls the farthest without falling. The step-by-step manufacturing of such a wind wheel is given in this master class.
For him you need to take:
- 4 squares of yellow paper;
- 4 squares of red paper.
Our wind wheel is made in technology modular origami... Therefore, we will begin its creation with the formation of one module. Take the red square and fold it in half.
We unfold it and bend the sides to the middle line.
We straighten and see that the square turned out to be divided by folds into 4 longitudinal stripes.
We need to make the same folds in a different transverse direction. As a result, the square is divided into 16 small squares.
Now you need to make diagonal folds in one of the squares located on the right in the second row from the bottom. We make the same fold symmetrically on the left side.
We bend the lower side corners.
The right side of the workpiece needs to be folded back. At the same time, its lower part should be located at an angle. 
We do the same with the left side.
We fold the upper part of our module (one square wide) back. 
This is how one ready-made module of the future wind wheel looks like.
We are making 7 more modules.
Now they need to be connected together. We take 2 modules and the protruding part of one of them (which was previously bent back) is inserted into the "pocket" located with back side another.
This is how the connected modules look from the front.
By the same principle, we connect the rest of the modules and close them in a ring.
Our wind wheel is now complete. You can blow.
