That on New Year and Christmas can be more magical than a Christmas tree. In the evening, when the lights are out, a fairy tale begins in the mysterious flickering of lanterns in the branches. Everyone comes up with their own magical story.
In some, the nutcracker defeats the king of mice, in others, snowflakes dance in circles. We decided to compose a fairy tale about a Christmas tree elf. It will be constantly changing, acquiring new plots, supplemented by characters and, most likely, every year will be different. Only the beginning of our tale will always be the same: - Once upon a time, there was a little Christmas tree elf in his cozy house, among fluffy spruce branches ...
We decided to make such a fabulous house with our own hands today. Join, because the fairy tale has already begun!
For the walls, we'll use a rectangular piece from a cardboard box. Cut a hole for the window, and mark the place for the door. We will strengthen the walls with "wild stone". Take pieces of eggshell and glue it with PVA glue.
To make our masonry look more realistic, we need to simulate traces of cement mortar in the seams. And the shells will hold on tight this way. We will glue the walls with plain gray toilet paper. When it dries up, clean off the excess, exposing the protruding parts of our "stones".
When the scales of the cones stick well, we will fit the pipe, because the house will probably have a fireplace or stove so that our elf can live in a warm place and can cook magic potions or porridge.
We twist the pipe from a small piece of cardboard and glue it with lentils, as if it were a refractory pebble.
For greater importance, we will make a ladder for the roof. She is from the same toilet papertwisted into flagella. Yes, we almost forgot about the window frame, we will cut it out of cardboard.
Now we will put the roof in place and paint the facade of the house. We will do it with ordinary gouache. Although acrylic will be better, it does not need to be varnished.
It remains to glue the finished fairy house on the base. Since we planned that our elf will have a light in the window, cut a hole in the base for the LED.
We wanted to decorate the “courtyard”. Snow is cotton wool, and a snowman is made of it. The Christmas tree is that "peeled" cone, painted in green color... It is not necessary to do this, maybe your elf will live in a hanging house. Then only the bottom and the loop will come in handy.
We made such a fabulous house with our own hands in just one evening, and the little Christmas tree elf has already begun to live his own life. For him, a bathhouse, a cellar, and even neighbors with their houses have already been invented, this is a hedgehog and a squirrel.
Decoupage - decorate a bottle of champagne for the New Year
A handmade gift is always original and unique. Do you want to surprise your loved ones? Decoupage your champagne bottle. Such a New Year's craft will not go unnoticed.
For decoration you will need:
- Champagne bottle;
- three-layer napkin with a New Year's motive;
- pVA glue;
- acrylic paint;
- decoration.
First of all, you need to clean the bottle of stickers. To do this, dip it in a container of warm water and leave it for a while.
We cover the entire open surface of the bottle with acrylic paint. The first layer can be applied with a brush. After drying, paint the bottle a second time, but use a piece of sponge ("smack").
In literally an hour, the acrylic paint will dry out, so you can remove the tape from the neck and proceed to the next stage of decoration. We take a napkin for decoupage and tear out the selected fragment of the picture from it.
We remove the two bottom layers from the napkin, and put the top one face down on a stationery file. Gently add some water to the drawing, straightening all the wrinkles.
Smoothing the file with our hands. Make sure that the napkin is firmly fixed on the surface, and then carefully remove the file from the bottle.
We dilute PVA glue with water in a one-to-one ratio. This solution is applied to the entire surface with a pattern with a brush. Its movements should be from the center to the edges, we try to smooth out all the wrinkles and expel bubbles.
After the glue has completely dried, we take finely dispersed sandpaper (preferably "zero") and carefully sand the contours of the napkin. We also process those places where irregularities have formed.
Next, we take a sponge or a piece of foam rubber, dip it in acrylic paint, "smack it" around the edges of the picture fragment. Thus, we try to mask the transition from the napkin to the main surface of the bottle.
The work is almost completed, it remains only to add some "zest". For example, stick a ribbon on the neck. The easiest way to do this is with a glue gun. The braid will not only complete the whole ensemble, but also cover the transition from paint to foil.
Plasticine mittens - winter craft
What could be warmer and more pleasant than warm woolen mittens that keep your hands warm on a frosty day. If you make them yourself, for example, from plasticine, then such a craft can rightfully be considered a winter one. You can catch a magical winter fairy tale with such mittens, because they are made with love and will definitely come in handy as a gift made from the heart.
On the eve of the New Year, copies of Christmas trees, Santa Claus and Snow Maiden are usually made. The proposed mittens are unique, the craft is not like others. And the more interesting it will be to do it with the children, especially since it is quite simple.
What you need to use for sculpting mittens:
- white and blue plasticine;
- a small strip of lace to create a believable knitted texture;
- a toothpick.
How to mold plasticine mittens
The white and blue kit is a very good option for sculpting the chosen craft. Mittens should be woolen, knitted, comfortable. They are indispensable in the cold season, when there are snowdrifts on the streets, the sun shines brightly, but does not warm. We definitely buy ourselves new accessories and never go out without grabbing this important thing.
First, make soft rolls to create the top of the craft. It is necessary to prepare 2 balls of different sizes. The larger one will be for the palm, the smaller one for the thumb compartment. Soften the plasticine in your hands and move on to the next step immediately.
Press down large and smaller white pieces to form flat cakes. Then, on one side, lightly squeeze on both sides, on the other - on the contrary, round and smooth with your fingers. Bind your palm and thumb together. Smooth out the joint. The body of the craft itself is ready. It is also not worth stopping at this stage. You need to act quickly while the plasticine is still warm. Now we have to create a knitted texture.
Make the bottom - blue cuffs for accessories. Pull out two blue pieces into flat cakes.
While the plasticine on the white part of the craft has not yet frozen, make a lace surface, more precisely, an imitation of it, using a piece of lace. Press the lace against the soft plasticine and press with gentle pressure on the surface of the lace with your fingers. After you remove the fabric, a print will remain on the soft surface, which will be very similar to the desired texture.
Instead of lace, something knitted will also work, such as a napkin or even socks. Experiment and be surprised, because this is such an unusual way of applying a relief pattern to a plasticine surface.
Make both mittens textured. On a blue background, use a toothpick to also create a knit effect, drawing small notches.
Tie the mittens together to complete the planned craft.
An interesting winter version for children's creativity is performed very quickly. In the process of work, children will learn not only to create parts of various shapes and sizes from plasticine, but also to create unusual relief patterns on a smooth surface. Now think about what else you can do with knitted plasticine. For example, simulate a hat or sweater in the same scenario.
New Year's deer made of felt - DIY crafts
The New Year's deer is a very common symbol of the upcoming holiday. Soft toy in the form of this cute animal, made with your own hands, can serve as both an excellent decoration for a New Year tree, and a pleasant souvenir presented from the bottom of your heart.
The process of sewing a deer is a very exciting activity and, at the same time, quite simple, which even a primary school student can cope with.
For work we need the following materials:
- Medium density felt brown or gray;
- paper;
- pen or thin crayon;
- threads to match felt or in a contrasting color;
- synthetic winterizer or other filler;
- ready-made eyes or beads;
- sequins, beads or beads.
We draw a silhouette of a deer on paper or print a ready-made template, cut it out.
We transfer the image to felt and carefully cut out in duplicate.
We are preparing a decor that makes the deer more colorful and festive. In our case, the decoration is a snowflake, crocheted from the remnants of red threads. We collect 11 air loops and close them in a ring, then we perform 14 sc (single crochet) inside the ring.
With the help of CCH (double crochet) we knit a “flower”, trying to distribute all the columns evenly.
In the arcs formed between the ssn, we knit 5 ssn each, between which we make arches of 10 air. loops.
We tie the resulting sbn element, knitting a picot from 3 air. loops approximately in the middle of the arch.
We iron the resulting snowflake with a hot iron, trying to give it the correct shape.
Sew a snowflake to one side of the deer. The middle of the snowflake can be decorated with sequins and beads or a button.
We glue the eyes.
We prepare the synthetic winterizer and sew the blanks, starting with the horns. It should be noted that it is not necessary to stuff the toy with padding polyester too tightly, as this may cause the seams to be uneven.
New Year's souvenir is ready!

DIY candles - crafts for the New Year
Candles have always been an essential attribute of any holiday, romantic evening. After each celebration, you most likely throw away candle stubs that could be used. If you have accumulated candle ends, you can make new candles with your own hands.
Necessary materials:
- Old candles;
- toothpicks;
- small sticks;
- molds.
You need to melt the wax to make it completely liquid. To do this, put wax in molds in a water bath.
Cooking molds.
When the wax has already become liquid, pour it into the prepared molds.
You can use cotton thread as a wick, or get it from old candles. So that it does not float up, remove the metal holder from the old candle and attach the wick.
Then we immerse it in wax.
Place any stick on top to secure the wick.
We leave the candles to dry for a day.
When the candles are dry, remove them from the molds. To do this, put them in boiling water for a few seconds.
To decorate the candles, I used gold ribbon and paper napkin. After I wrapped the candles, they became more festive.
To decorate the candles in the glass, I used Christmas tree decorations by tying it to the glass.
So in a simple way you can make your own Christmas candles. You can experiment with different molds, or decorate ready-made candles with coffee beans.

DIY Christmas composition with hats
Create a New Year's atmosphere in your home with a fun composition of miniature hats. This master class is ideal for creative activities with children.
Necessary materials:
- Multi-colored knitting threads;
- a cylinder made of thin cardboard;
- white acrylic paint;
- dry branch without leaves;
- glass bottle for wine or champagne.
Let's make hats from threads. Take a cardboard cylinder and cut it into rings 1.5–2 cm wide. You can also make rings from thick paper yourself, fixing them with a stapler.
Cut off 30 cm of thread and fold it in half. You will need about 30-40 pieces of such pieces, depending on the diameter of the ring.
Thread the thread, folded in half, through the paper ring. Pass its ends through the formed loop and tighten the resulting knot.
Tie the rest of the threads on the ring in the same way. Try to place them close to each other, avoiding gaps.
When the ring is completely braided, thread the ends of the threads through it as if turning it inside out.
Tie the ends of the threads with an additional thread of the same color.
Cut off the ends of the threads, forming a neat pompom on the cap.
Spread out the hat from the inside, making it more voluminous. Fluff up the pompom.
Make hats of other colors in the same way.
Let's make a small winter composition. This requires a small dry branch that can be found in the park.
Paint it white to create the effect of a snow-covered winter branch. Leave it to dry.
Take an empty glass bottle and apply 2 coats of acrylic paint evenly, being careful not to leave overly visible brush strokes. Let it dry completely.
Putting the composition together. Place the branch in the bottle. Put hats on small branches. You can decorate the branch with threads and beads.

Wreath for New Year and Christmas from willow twigs
The next master class is "DIY Christmas wreath".
For the manufacture of jewelry, we take the following materials:
- Willow twigs (medium thickness);
- new Year's tinsel;
- cones;
- items for decorating cones (paints, sequins, beads, rhinestones, and so on);
- glue moment, thin copper wire or nylon threads for attaching decorative elements.
Important! To prevent the vine from breaking, you need to weave as soon as it is broken. If the twigs dry out, nothing will work.
Let's start forming a wreath.
We take several thin branches (long) at once and form a ring, intertwining them together.
If it does not immediately work out the correct shape, do not be upset, with subsequent interweaving the ring will align. It is necessary to weave the vine by fixing the end between the twigs of the previous circle.
Thus, we continue to weave the wreath to the required size.
The basis for the festive wreath is ready, now you can proceed to the decoration.
We take tinsel and wrap the finished ring so that the gaps are visible. At the bottom of the wreath, we leave a little space for attaching decorative cones.
Let's move on to decorating the cones. To do this, you can use everything that is enough for your imagination (paints, rhinestones, beads, ribbons, sparkles, and so on).
The output is such beautiful decorative cones.
To attach the cones to the wreath, you can use moment glue, thin copper wire or nylon thread. In my case, the moment was applied.
That's all, the wreath is ready for the festive decoration of the house. A minimum of effort and time was spent, but the maximum pleasure from the pastime was obtained.
You can even involve the whole family. So everything will go much more interesting.
New Year's crafts - do-it-yourself felt boots

Since in this case raincoat fabric was chosen for the felt boot, the pattern was transferred to the lining.
Secure the fabric with pins, stitch along the line, cut out the workpiece.
In places of fillets, carefully make notches with sharp scissors. Turn out the felt boot.
For edging, felt or a thin strip of fur will do. Remnants of coat fabric were used here.

The plasticine set contains not just bars, but a whole treasure, toys, accessories, even gifts for the New Year. All products are easy to make yourself, having at hand detailed instructions, which is this detailed master class... Imagine and enjoy the creative process.
First, take the red plasticine and knead it thoroughly in your hands. Form a boot from the soft mass. Pull the mass into a cylindrical part, then pull the resulting cylinder on one side, press it with your fingers at a right angle.
In the right places, simply flatten the surface of the boot, giving a believable look. The basis of the craft is ready. Of course, in fact, the part should be hollow inside, but we will not cut a hole, and we will simply plant the bunny toy on top, or rather, we will only make its upper part.
To decorate your Christmas product, draw out several strands of white, green, of blue color... Roll out the soft mass with your fingers using light pressure, pressing against a hard surface.
From a thin green sausage, make a border for the boot shaft. Use a blue sausage to model a bow - it will look very beautiful on a gift. Twist the white and red sausages into a flagellum. Press down over the entire surface. Trim off the excess on both sides. Then bend it so that you get Santa Claus's road.
Form the blanks for the upper part of the bunny figurine. For the plush toy, we will show only the head with long ears and front legs. Use white plasticine for sculpting.
Glue white cheeks on the ball-head, pierce them with a toothpick, showing hairiness. Attach the black eyes and nose. Give the rest of the white pieces the shape of the ears and feet.
Glue the details to the top of the red boot so that you get the impression that the bunny is sitting inside and just peeking out.
Add the decorative elements prepared earlier. Place a white and red plant near the bunny's head. Add a bow to the top of the bootleg.
A unique plasticine gift dedicated to your favorite holiday - New Year - is ready. Having made the same base, you can plant a bear or gingerbread man in a boot. Any option will be welcome and so cute.
Children can also be involved in making the following crafts for the New Year. Such joint creativity will bring great joy to both children and parents. Indeed, for the winter holidays, I want to somehow especially decorate my home. You do not need to master complex needlework techniques, you can try to make something interesting from plain white paper.
All of us in childhood learned to cut lace snowflakes from paper folded in several layers. But decorating your home with snowflakes is too trivial and simple. Turn your imagination on, let the delicate weaves turn into dresses for graceful ballerinas soaring from the ceiling.
For work, you will need the following materials:

Try to cut the hole in the center so that the ballerina can fit into it. Glue snowflakes at the waist level of the dancers.

First, I show how the final result will look like, if you like it and imagine what material you will make it from, how to decorate it, then read and see further photos of how to make such a Christmas tree.
Christmas tree from magazines
Prepare 2 magazines of the same size ... better than one edition. Because the number of pages, their size and paper weight must be the same. You can take an old book that can be torn, it does not have to be colored, you can use an ordinary black and white one.
You will also need PVA glue and if there are wine corks, prepare 5 pieces for a Christmas tree stand.
We take one magazine, open the last page and start bending it as in the photo.
First, in half under the corner, then fold the folded page in half again.
Run your fingers firmly along the folds to flatten the folded page.
Below, outside the magazine, an extra corner sticks out, we bend it along the edge of the magazine and hide it inside the page folded in a triangle.
A triangle with a sharp end at the top turned out from the page. We bend it to the left, and on the right half of the magazine we fold the next page in exactly the same way. And then all the pages to the end.
We do the same work with the second magazine.
If the magazine covers are of the same density as the pages, then we also add triangles from them. And if not, then the covers need to be torn off or neatly trimmed.
So, the pages of the two magazines have become in the form of triangles, we attach them to each other with the sides where the covers were and carefully glue them in the center.
The actual Christmas tree from the magazine is ready. You can leave it as it is, or you can make a stand of wine corks, for example. We glue 5 identical corks with barrels to each other and this structure will stand steadily on the table, we put the Christmas tree on the glue on it.
As a stand, you can use any object that suits - a box, a jar, a glass ...
You can leave the Christmas tree as it is, or you can decorate with beads, tinsel.
The same tree can be made from an old book. To do this, you need to tear it or tear off 2 parts with an approximately equal number of pages.
We fold in the same way as magazines. Lubricate the finished Christmas tree a little with glue, it can be uneven, and sprinkle with sparkles. You can spray the tree with green paint from a can and sprinkle it immediately with a piece of styrofoam.
An unusually beautiful Christmas tree is obtained if you fold the pages of magazines, as in the video.
Watch the master class.
Crafts from paper and cardboard
If in the house there is unnecessary cardboard from simple and multi-colored packaging or packaging thick multi-colored paper, then I will show you how to make a Christmas tree using only scissors and glue. To make the Christmas tree more beautiful, stock up on curly paper scissors and a wooden skewer.
First, make blanks from circles of different diameters, 3 circles of the same size. Decrease the diameter of the next circles by 1cm.
In the center of the circles, make holes with the diameter of the skewer on which we will string them.
The diameter of the upper small circles is 2cm.
The Christmas tree will be more beautiful if the circles are cut with curly scissors.
Cut about 2cm circles out of plain cardboard to space between the colored circles. Make holes in the center of the circles as well.
For the stand, cut out a cardboard square for the stand, insert a skewer into its center and drip a drop of glue. The side of the square is 1 cm less than the diameter of the large circle.
Round the corners of the square, or you can immediately cut a circle for the stand.
We begin the assembly - we string the circles one by one, we string a small cardboard circle between them.
Cut off the extra end of the skewer, glue an asterisk made of bright or shiny material on the top of the Christmas tree.
Herringbone from newsprint
Let's make a miracle out of newspapers! Surprise your family and guests!

The number of roses depends on the size of the cone on which you will glue them.
Making paper roses
The execution scheme is in the photo, and read the description below.
