On the eve of such a holiday as the New Year, in schools and preschool institutions, kids are given tasks to make with their own hands. You can find many options for a variety of crafts, but it is worth highlighting a few of the simplest ones - for kids who go to kindergarten, and more complex crafts for those children who go to school.
There are cotton pads not only in a women's cosmetic bag, but also in a first-aid kit, since they are very convenient to use. But from cotton pads you can also do beautiful craft, which can be attributed to the competition in a school or kindergarten. To begin with, it is worth considering one option for a simple craft, even a baby can make such a decoration preschool age with mom's help.
First you need to purchase several packs of cotton pads, colored cardboard, glue, scissors, coffee beans and glitter. With the help of cotton pads, a winter composition is laid out on cardboard, it can be a polar bear, a snowman or something else. First, the applique is carefully thought out and drawn on cardboard, and then, from cotton pads, the necessary figures are cut out and glued to a sheet of cardboard with glue. If a bear or a snowman was chosen as the composition, then the eyes for the applique will be made of coffee beans or carnations (depending on the size of the resulting pattern). The finished composition can be decorated with sparkles and beads. Any kid can create such an original and simple craft.
To make such a beautiful snowy one, they prepare scissors, white cardboard, PVA glue, a stapler, the necessary decorations (stars, sparkles, beads, ribbons), white paint and several packs of cotton pads.
To begin with, do-it-yourself blanks for crafts for the New Year 2016 are made from cotton pads. First, a cotton pad is taken and folded in half, and then in half again, a small triangle is obtained, the bottom of this triangle must be fastened with a stapler so that the cotton pads do not open in the finished structure. Depending on the size of the tree, you will need to make a fairly large number of such blanks, so for a 0.5 meter Christmas tree, you will need about 100 pieces of blanks from cotton pads. That is why it is better to prepare them in advance.
When all the blanks are ready, they begin to create a base - a cone. It is the paper cone that will be our Christmas tree, and in order to get it, a large sheet of cardboard is taken and rolled up into a cone. The edges of the workpiece can be glued or stapled together. If there is no large sheet, then you can take several small ones and connect them into one large cone. To prevent the resulting frame from unstuck at the wrong moment, a strip is cut from the cardboard and glued on the inside of the cone along the seam. White paint is needed to paint the cardboard, as it does not always have a pure white color.
As soon as the body for the Christmas tree is ready, you can attach the prepared cotton pads to it. They start to glue cotton pads from the bottom up, so it will turn out smoother and beautiful tree... When the entire workpiece is in the "needles" of the disks, you can sprinkle the needles with sparkles, hang bows or glue snowflakes. Thus, a Christmas tree is obtained, which a child can make on his own in just one hour.
A Christmas tree made of cotton pads is an original decoration for an apartment in the New Year, but you can make a wreath using the same technique to decorate a room. To make such a wreath, you need to stock up on styrofoam, from which a large ring is cut, you will also need a stapler or sewing pins and cotton pads. To create such original craft for the New Year 2016 with your own hands with children, you need to take a large circle of polystyrene and pre-prepared cotton pads. By the way, the workpieces can not be fastened with a stapler, but simply attached to the ring with sewing pins.
If you want the ring to look more festive, you can buy a balloon with gold or silver paint and paint the wreath a little; the craft is also decorated with beads, rhinestones, buttons, shiny snowflakes and other decorative elements. Since the ring will be light, it can be used to decorate the very center of the room, just hang a wreath on the chandelier.

You can make such a fridge magnet toy, or simply present it to friends and family as a souvenir. And to create in the form of a cute monkey, for a start, about a meter of twine, colored or white cardboard and scissors, whole coffee beans, brown threads and glue are prepared. For greater convenience, it will be better to print a monkey drawing template on a printer so that you can cut a silhouette out of cardboard using the template.
When a blank is cut out of the cardboard, you can start creating a magnet. For this, a twine is taken and with its help the whole monkey is pasted over, when the workpiece is completely sealed, it is left for a while to dry. The main thing is not to forget to focus on the monkey's ears and eyes in the process, they should not be sealed with twine, instead coffee beans are glued into the ears and eyes.
Since it is unlikely that it will be possible to draw something on the twine, it is better to embroider the mouth with red thread in advance. And to get a fun shaggy hairstyle at the monkey, the tourniquet is simply dissolved in the forehead area of \u200b\u200bthe monkey, this is how shaggy bangs turn out. And the nose of a cheerful animal is embroidered with dark brown thread. The belly of the monkey is also decorated with coffee beans, and the legs of the monkey are painted red or dark brown.

One of the easiest ways to make a monkey is applique. Even a preschool child can do just that, and a ready-made monkey can be used as a DIY craft for the New Year 2016 in a dhow, which will participate in the competition. An interestingly designed applique made from coffee beans will definitely take first place in any competition.
To make such a simple but beautiful applique, you should stock up on cardboard of any color, PVA glue, ground coffee, you will also need coffee beans and a pencil. It is best to sketch an animal from some children's book, and then start creating a craft. To begin with, ground coffee and glue are taken. Large parts of the monkey's body are coated with glue, and ground coffee is poured onto the glue on top. When all the parts are filled with coffee, the craft is allowed to dry out a little, and then the excess coffee is shaken off. Monkey eyes can be made from coffee beans or glue the beads. To make the applique look more festive, it is decorated with bows, rain, sequins or mother-of-pearl buttons. This method can be used to design handmade cards. In addition, do-it-yourself crafts from coffee beans for the New Year 2016 look beautiful, they can be presented to teachers or educators.
Since the applique will be created on cardboard, the finished monkey can be cut out, and a string can be attached to the toy, such a monkey can decorate at home christmas tree...

In this case, the child will not only have to sprinkle coffee on the applique, but glue each grain to a sheet of cardboard so that it turns out to be a monkey, after which the applique is decorated with sparkles. The grains are small enough and a little more difficult to work with than with ground coffee, so the baby will spend a little more time creating the applique.
To get it in the form of a monkey, it is better to use not cardboard, but a thin wooden plank for the base. It must be dyed brown and glued over the entire surface of the coffee bean. In the upper part, a hole is made for a shiny rope, if you need to hang the toy on a Christmas tree, or a magnet is attached to the back.

Simple crafts
You can also make lighter crafts for the New Year 2016 with your own hands, using colored paper or cardboard. Even such banal materials will help to create beautiful and interesting ones. For example, from colored paper you can create unusual volumetric snowflakes... To make such snowflakes, it is best to use either very thick paper or cardboard, while it is preferable to take pearlescent, gold and silver colors.
To make such a toy, sheets of colored cardboard are taken and several strips are cut out of them, each strip should be 7-8 centimeters long and 2 centimeters wide. In addition to cardboard, you need to stock up on glue, with its help it will be possible to glue the details of the snowflake. The ends of the strips are greased with glue and fastened together so that "droplets" are obtained. When each droplet is ready, the snowflake can be combined into a single composition.

The main thing is that toys can come in a variety of sizes. And to make a snowman, you need to take polystyrene, a lot of cotton wool, PVA glue, a few grains of carnations, orange felt, small twigs from the street.
Before starting work, three balls of different sizes are cut out of the foam. The first is the smallest, the head of the snowman will be made of it, the second (middle) is the part of the body where the hands of the toy are inserted, and the last largest part is the part in which the legs of the snowmen will be located.
When each of the balls is ready, it is greased with glue, and then glued with a thick layer of cotton wool. Thus, three balls are obtained from which they will be made. After each ball is pasted over with cotton wool, the structure of three balls is combined into a single composition. Then you can start attaching the legs and handles to the toy. For this, small branches are taken and inserted into the middle ball on the sides. If you don't want to use sticks to create legs, then you can simply roll up balls of cotton wool and glue them to the bottom ball.
When the legs are in their place, they begin to decorate the snowman's head, for this, two carnation seeds are taken and glued in place of the eyes. A nose in the form of a carrot is cut out of felt and attached to glue. After that, you can attach a rope to the toy and decorate the Christmas tree with a snowman.
Sock toys
