Print Thank you, great lesson +0

New Year's mood can be lifted in many ways. For example, make a three-dimensional Santa Claus out of paper with your own hands for the New Year from scrap material. We also have a lesson
Just 15 minutes and you will be in the mood, and you will also have a finished craft in your hands, made with your own hands from colored paper.

• Red and white double sided paper
• Red store-bought pompom
• Stationery glue
• Simple pencil
• Marker black
• Scissors

Step-by-step photo lesson:

We will make the body of Santa Claus in the form of a cone. To make such a geometric figure, draw a circle on red double-sided paper. You can use a compass or circle a plate. Cut it out. Bend in half. Open and cut along the fold with scissors. We get two halves. For one Santa Claus figurine you will need only one part.

We twist half of the circle and get a cone-shaped figure. Secure the edges with glue. The lower parts can be adjusted with scissors to give an even base.

Then we draw a beard on white paper.

Cut out the beard along the contour. Cut through the middle to create a horizontal slit. We “dress” the beard through the slit. Bend a small part forward to create hair.

Glue the red pompom to the highest point of the cone. This will be the bubo of Santa Claus's hat.

Glue the plastic eyes. Cut out a mustache from white paper, and a small circle from red paper. Glue the cut out parts just below the eyes. Use a marker to add brightness and clarity.

Well, what's the New Year without Santa Claus? Paper is the most affordable material for making New Year's crafts. It is from paper that we will make the main character of the New Year.

To make Santa Claus you need:

Paper for printing templates (it is better if it is thick enough);

Scissors;

Glue, brush

Step-by-step process for making Santa Claus

1. Print the templates on a printer.

2. Cut out all the details of the craft.

3. Bend Santa Claus' fur coat along the fold lines.

Glue the edges of the fur coat and the top part at the allowances.

4. Bend along the lines of the sleeves and glue them together.

5. Glue the sleeves to Santa Claus’ fur coat (gluing points A and B).

7. Bend the collar along the fold lines and glue its edges together using the allowance.

We put the collar on the fur coat.

8. Take the “face of Santa Claus” detail and use a brush to twist the beard so that the beard “curls”.

9. Glue the face of Santa Claus to the fur coat (gluing location B).

10. Santa Claus is ready!

This toy will be an excellent decoration for the New Year's interior or a gift.

New Years is soon. Of course, you will spend the evening cutting out snowflakes. Try to make yourself a fairy-tale house out of cardboard with a roof covered with snow (cotton wool), with a light (light bulb) in a small window. Place Santa Claus and the original paper Snow Maiden next to each other. A handmade granddaughter of Santa Claus using the origami technique will be cuter and dearer than the one you buy in the store.

Modular Snow Maiden

It is rare to see a man doing such needlework, the more valuable is the master class on origami from paper modules, which is presented in this video. On it, a knowledgeable needleworker calmly, thoroughly and scrupulously, like a real man, tells and shows how to make a three-dimensional Snow Maiden from modules with his own hands.

To complete the work, it is necessary to prepare modules of two sizes from paper of two colors. The scheme is quite simple. Small modules are made from rectangles half the size of those from which large ones are made.

Postcard – Snow Maiden

An excellent hand-made gift would be a Snow Maiden in a kokoshnik with a long fur coat that wraps around her.

• Draw a sketch of the postcard. Fold it in half and make sure it is completely symmetrical. Fold the sides towards the middle and make sure that the fur coat's floors slightly overlap each other. Only now can you make a blank using the template by cutting it out of thick paper.

• Using a template, cut out the “onion” for the top of the card from colored beautiful paper. Now you need to make a face. To do this, cut out a circle of pink paper, draw hair, eyes, nose and lips on it and glue it to the kokoshnik.

• From the same paper as the kokoshnik you can cut out the fur coat flaps, again using the original template. Glue white paper strips along the edges, coat them with PVA glue on top and spread a thin layer of cotton wool. Thus, we made a fur trim on the fur coat with our own hands.

• Cut out small mittens with the same edges and glue them as shown in the photo.

• All that remains is to make an origami sundress for our beauty with our own hands. Cut it out of colored paper, decorate it with snowflakes and write your wishes. Glitter can be easily applied to the kokoshnik and fur coat with regular nail polish with glitter.

An original idea can be useful for a joke or congratulations to your beloved man. Glue your photo instead of a face, and instead of a sundress, draw a slender figure of 90-60-90 in a bikini. Well, don’t forget to wish something.

Snow Maiden origami

To make an origami Snow Maiden with your own hands, you will need:

• scheme;
• a piece of blue paper with a white back;
• a piece of yellow paper with a white back;
• scissors;
• glue.

Scheme of work execution

• For origami you need to cut a square from a blue piece of paper. Fold it horizontally and vertically, unfold it, thus marking the axes. Fold two opposite vertical edges slightly. Fold both upper corners towards the middle and tuck the bottom of the fur coat.

• Turn the origami so that the wrong side is facing you. Now you first need to use a pencil to make two oblique lines from the upper central corner, dividing it into 4 equal corners, and fold the sides of the origami towards the middle. Place the lower protruding corners inside the craft, and bend the upper corner to the front side. Turn the origami over again.

• Take a strip of white paper and fold it in half twice as shown in the diagram. Glue them in the middle. The fur coat is ready.

• Now you need to make the Snow Maiden's head. To do this, take a yellow square and connect two opposite corners at the middle relative to the top corner. Fold it again too. Draw an oblique line just above the “face” and bend the origami along it. Slightly round your chin by bending the bottom corner.

• We make mittens for Santa Claus's granddaughter from two small squares of colored paper. Connect their opposite corners at the center. Fold the edge 10 degrees on one side, unfold it, marking a line along which you will bend your thumb at the mitten. Can be glued to a fur coat.

• All that remains is to make origami hats with your own hands. Take a small rectangle of blue paper and fold it in half crosswise. Fold the top corners towards the middle. Fold the bottom strips over on both sides and fold the top. We got a hat. Let's put it on the Snow Maiden's head, draw her face, and glue a bow to the tip of her braid.

This handmade doll can be hung on a Christmas tree. All the manipulations are simple, the diagram is clear, try teaching this to your child.

Good afternoon, we again continue to make crafts in the form of Santa Claus and in this article I have collected those that are made of paper. Here you will find great ideas for crafts for kindergarten classes, or for creativity lessons at school. You can make Santa Claus out of paper in a variety of ways. Now you will see all the variety of children's crafts with this New Year's character - both flat appliques and voluminous convex appliques. As well as crafts based on toilet paper rolls and cardboard cones.

Santa Claus made of paper.

Simple crafts

for babies

A simple application in kindergarten can be made in the form of a New Year's greeting card.

Take a sheet of red cardboard. We bend it in half to form a postcard. This will be the basis of our children's craft.

Now on the front front side we create an applique of Santa Claus's face. Cut it out pink paper oval, truncated along the side edges - this will be the face. Cut it out charcoal mustache shape, also made of white paper. And small ones clouds of white eyebrows, also with a wavy edge. Nose cut out pink paper of a darker shade than the face.

And the child’s task is to assemble this puzzle according to the teacher’s model, with the correct order: first the face, then the fur of the hat, mustache, and lastly the eyes and nose. A quick and simple application for the younger group of kindergarten.

Here's another simple job for the younger group of kindergarten. Here the basis of Santa Claus is a TRIANGLE of red cardboard. And all the details fit within this triangle - the beard, the mustache, and the edging of the hat.

And based on the triangle, you can make this original Santa Claus craft, which uses a paper confectionery napkin with an openwork patterned edge. A very beautiful Santa Claus is made from paper. You can buy napkins in the hardware department of the store.

The body shape of Santa Claus made of paper can be any. For example, from two circles - like a slave. Beautiful, simple and similar. Possibly with a mustache, or without a mustache. You can have a pompom on your hat, or you can have a pompom on your nose.

You can find templates for such crafts in our new article

You yourself are free to give any shape to the body of Santa Claus. He will still be recognizable. Because he is red and he has a beard.

And even if you want to add any accessories to the image of Santa Claus, this will still not prevent him from being a recognizable symbol of the New Year. Wonder as much as you want. Let your own version of Santa Claus appear, he also likes jokes.

VOLUMETRIC applique

with Santa Claus made of paper.

And here we see techniques that help to create a voluminous layered effect of paper appliqué in the form of Santa Claus.

The first way is to make the beard two-layered, two-tiered. We cut the bottom layer longer, the top layer of the beard shorter. When gluing, we apply glue only to the upper part of the beard so that the layer sticks out freely towards the top. We also make the hat with a fold forward. And a pompom for a hat can be made voluminous from thread or cotton wool, or a wad of crepe paper.

You can fold origami in the form of Santa Claus. The paper fold also creates a volume effect.

The second way is to add volume to Santa Claus's beard using paper curls. We cut white paper into strips of slightly different lengths. We glue the strips onto the edges of the chin of Santa Claus's face, let the glue dry and then twist each strip onto a pencil.

The third way is to create beard volume using a paper CUP CUTTER. We do not coat the corrugated edge of the cupcake tin with glue (only the middle) and it sticks up from the applique, creating volume.

You can also make a fan from a narrow strip of paper and unfold it into a circle. And based on this round fan, make a three-dimensional application of Santa Claus.

The fourth way is to put a layer applique, with layers of stumps. We cut out the applique elements from thick paper and so that the parts RISE and FLOAT ABOVE the cardboard sheet, we use PADS. Thick layers between the applique details and the background. That is, we don’t glue the applique onto the background cardboard - we glue only the layers of stumps, and then we spread the glue only on these stumps and put the applique parts on them. And she hangs in the air.

Spacer layers can be made... firstly, made of thick packaging cardboard(TV box, cardboard egg cassette).

Or the layers can become SPRINGS made of paper(remember in childhood we all wove such an accordion-spring out of two strips of paper). So, short accordion-springs can become stumps on which our applique will rise.

The fifth way to add volume to your paper Santa Claus is to make crafts using the postcard technique with internal volume. Here in the photo below we see a beautiful craft Santa Claus is breaking dancing.

Here we bend the white cardboard in half. And we make cuts across the fold line (perpendicular to the fold line of the card, 2 cm from its edge). The depth of the incision can be any (in the photo below it is 2 cm). The notched part of the postcard is pressed inward with a finger - protruding this fold with a square bench into the postcard. And now to this bench we will glue the “Frosty Fest” PLATE on which Santa Claus stands, upside down.

As a result, it turns out that the body of Santa Claus is hanging in the air. To further give the body stability, you can also stick a strip of paper (folded in the form of a rectangular frame) on the back (behind its belly) - this way it will also be fixed on top.

Here's another idea for a folding card with Santa Claus. I have already described how to do it in detail step by step in the article, so here I will only give a diagram of the templates.

And here is another folding craft in the form of Santa Claus. Also an interesting idea for activities in kindergarten.

CONE paper applique

in the form of SANTA CLAUS.

If you make a TRIANGULAR DOT in a flat circle in the form of a sector (like a piece of pie) ... and then bend this sector and glue it inside (so that the edges of the sector meet into one line of the gluing seam) - then we get a conical part. Convex like a mushroom cap...
Based on this principle of DARTING on a flat circle, we create a convex Santa Claus craft from plain paper. Like this...

But here is a large diagram for this craft - it is in A4 format - you can immediately print it and it will appear correctly in full size on the sheet coming out of your printer. The dart is painted over on the template with a gray background; we bend it along the edges and bring the fold lines closer together. Or you can make a cut along one side of the sector and glue the entire gray sector inside - overlapping edge to edge.

Complex applique

With Santa Claus

You can make a large-scale paper applique in terms of the number of elements - with Santa Claus, reindeer, sleigh, snowmen, city, and other New Year's paraphernalia.

Such complex applications with many elements are best done as a group craft in kindergarten. Each child completes only one element of the applique - and then at the end of the lesson, all the characters and paraphernalia are combined into a large common applique - on a huge sheet of drawing paper.

And in the older group, you can give children a craft task with several appliqué elements, but combined within one New Year's wreath. How this was done is shown in the photo below.

Volumetric Santa Claus made of paper

In the form of a box.

Here is a diagram of the box which, when assembled, forms a figure of Santa Claus. An excellent craft - it’s clear how to draw, what to bend and what to glue. It's easy and quick to make Santa Claus based on a thick sheet of paper.

Three drawings

FOR Santa Claus' SLED.

Below I want to show another simple craft - a sleigh for Santa Claus. Their assembly principle is simple - there is a bottom (diagram below) and the sides of the sleigh, the back and the footrest are thrown in four directions from the bottom.

Here is another diagram - a little different - but there is nothing complicated here either. Drew, cut out, bent under a ruler(we press an ordinary school ruler firmly against the fold line, and lift the sheet of paper - the fold turns out even, like on factory crafts).

You can make the elements of the sleigh CARVED - that is, make slits in the side parts above the runners of the sleigh - openwork or straight, like on the Soviet sleighs from childhood.

Santa Claus made of paper

Based on PLATE.

Disposable paper plates can be the source of many crafts. And Santa Claus is no exception to this creative series of plate designs. The white round plate, by its very shape, suggests a craft in the form of Santa Claus.

You are free to choose the design of this craft and materials at your discretion. Use whatever comes to mind - cotton pads, paper napkins, paper shavings.

On the basis of a white plate, you can use any volumetric techniques that we use from paper. Everything that this article talked about above can be done on the basis of a plate.

Volumetric crafts

Father Frost

Made from paper and cardboard.

Now let's see what three-dimensional crafts can be made in the form of Santa Claus from paper and cardboard. You can make a ring-clip for a bag of candies in the shape of Santa Claus (as in the left photo below). We wrap the candies in a napkin and pull the ends of the knot through a hair elastic to which a cardboard applique of Santa Claus's head is glued.

You can make a Santa Claus craft with rope arms and legs from a round Christmas ball (or a foam ball), as in the right photo below.

You can make a Santa Claus craft out of paper in the form of balls assembled from strips of colored paper. In the article, I give a detailed master class on how to simply assemble such a ball. If you make two paper balls, a larger one and a smaller one, you can use them to make the head and torso of Santa Claus.

You can cut out Santa Claus from a paper accordion fan. Fold a strip of paper into a fan shape. We lay it out again evenly on the table, mark with a pencil the area of ​​​​the arms and hats, make a rounding of the body of Santa Claus - and cut off these outlines with scissors. We reassemble the accordion along the old fold lines. And use a hole punch to make a hole in the middle. We insert a cocktail straw into it. And we decorate the silhouette of the craft - adding to it a round face made of pink paper, a beard and a fur hat made of white cotton wool.

You can also make a three-dimensional craft based on a cardboard cone. We make a semicircle out of red cardboard (use a large plate). And we roll this semicircle into a cone-bag. We fasten the edges of the cone with a stapler or put it on double-sided tape (the glue will simply hold the cone weakly, there is a risk that the cardboard cone, under the pressure of compression, will tend to unclench).

You can design the Santa Claus craft itself based on the outline in different designs - a smooth beard made of paper, a voluminous beard made of paper twists, fluffy cotton wool, white threads cut with scissors, or anything else.

You can decorate this craft based on a cardboard cone with additional materials and elements - hands made of fluffy wire with mittens made of velvet paper or felt, a Christmas tree made of paper or cardboard.

White cotton can turn any red object into Santa Claus. A toilet paper roll or plastic plate can easily turn into the beloved Santa Claus of all children.

You can also make an applique of Santa Claus using the QUILLING technique - from rolled paper (as in the photo below).

Christmas decoration

Father Frost

Made from paper and cardboard.

I also want to show interesting options for decorating your home for the New Year in the style of Santa Claus.

You can cut out a large applique for a window from colored paper.

Using the same principle, you can paste the silhouette of Santa Claus's head into the refrigerator door and it will turn out that he is looking out from his freezer. You can find colored cardboard of this format in specialized stationery stores. Or paint large sheets of cardboard from a large box (from a refrigerator, for example) with gouache yourself.

And here is an option where a large application of Santa Claus is made from paper on the door. This is an original and beautiful idea to decorate the door of an office or children's room for the New Year.

Here are some interesting and simple ideas on how to make a Santa Claus craft from paper or cardboard with your own hands.

Happy New Year's creativity.

Happy New Year to the author of this article, Olga Klishevskaya.

Long before the New Year, children begin to dream about the holiday and make lists of desired gifts from Santa Claus. We invite you to join in creating a magical atmosphere in your home by making Santa Claus from colored paper with your children - a New Year’s craft.

After all, the main New Year's character on this fabulous night is the kind grandfather with a long gray beard, a red cap and a fur coat, with a huge bag of gifts behind him. This is what should be made from colored paper in the form of an interesting and beautiful craft. We will get a voluminous beard in the form of chains of thin paper rings.

Necessary materials:
red, white and yellow paper;
stapler and glue;
scissors;
ruler;
pencil;
marker;
plastic eyes.

How to make a paper Santa Claus

1. To make the head and face of Santa Claus, use yellow paper. It can be replaced with light pink and light brown. We cut out a large circle from the sheet, and a small one for the nose, up to 2 cm in diameter. We also draw the outline of the cap on red paper. Cut it out.

2. Cut out a rectangle from white paper. Fold in half and glue the ends. Use scissors to cut along the bottom to create a fringe.

3. Glue the details to the New Year’s hat in the form of a white voluminous fringe along the bottom. Glue the hat to the yellow head. We also cut out a small circle from white paper for the bubo of the cap.

4. Cut out a mustache from white paper.

5. Glue the bubo to the tip of the cap. We attach a white mustache to the face. We attach the nose and ready-made plastic eyes to them.

6. Create a beard from white paper. It will be voluminous. To do this, we draw thin stripes and cut them out in large quantities to get a beautiful craft for the New Year.

7. Connect the strips into rings. We glue the parts together to obtain several chains. We glue long chains to the sides of the head.

8. Then we attach 5 short chains of white stripes at the bottom.

9. Draw in small details with a marker.
