Crafts for the New Year from a variety of materials will make the process of preparing for the holiday interesting and entertaining. Let your child use his imagination and come up with something new. A New Year's craft in a prominent place in the house will become not only a decoration, but also a source of pride for your child.
Craft 1. “Postcards - Valenki” (3-7 years)
Material: paper; paints, felt-tip pens; cotton wool or tea bag packaging.
How to make a craft:
Draw a “double felt boot” on a sheet of paper (see photo). Inside, draw a Christmas tree, a snowman or Santa Claus - whatever comes to your mind.
Now let the child color the felt boots the way he wants. After this, glue cotton wool or tea bag packaging cut into small pieces onto the felt boots. Cut out a “double felt boot” along the outline and fold it into a card.
Slavik decided to give cards to his grandmothers for the New Year. :)
Craft 2. “Santa Claus, Snow Maiden and Christmas tree” (3-7 years)
Material: - colored cardboard; cotton wool; plasticine (for Santa Claus, Christmas tree and Snow Maiden);
- colored paper; milk bottle cap; pen cord gift bag(for the bag).
How to do:
I’ll tell you using the example of Santa Claus. Make a bag out of red cardboard (as they once did for seeds). Fasten it with a stapler, cut off the sharp corners at the base to create stability. This will be Santa Claus' fur coat.
Cut out a circle from cardboard of a different color - the head of Santa Claus. Use plasticine to make his eyes, mouth and nose. Make a beard out of cotton wool and glue it to your head. Cut a hat out of cardboard in the shape of an uneven triangle and decorate it with cotton wool.
Glue Santa Claus's head to his fur coat. Santa Claus is ready. Using the same principle, make the Snow Maiden and the Christmas tree.
How to make a bag for Santa Claus:
Cut out a square from colored paper. Place the lid in the center of the square from the inside, lift the ends of the square up and secure them with a cord.
P.S. Keep in mind that sometimes there may be formations around the plasticine. greasy spots, and the craft will become ugly. Perhaps it's the quality of the plasticine.
Craft 3. "Postcard - Hanging balls" (2-3 years)
This craft is very simple. Just right for small children.
Material: a sheet of paper and children's stamps or seals (you can buy them at any children's store).
How to do:
Fold the sheet in half. On one half, lightly draw several balls with a simple pencil.
Let your child fill the Christmas balls with stamps. Place something under this part of the sheet, as stamps may be imprinted on the second half. Decorate your card with cutouts from rustling tea bag packaging.
4. New Year's crafts with plasticine balls (1-2 years)
In the game I talked about how to use plasticine for development fine motor skills. Now let the child do the same, only on New Year's theme. For example, he will fill Santa Claus’s bag with multi-colored “sweets.” The Christmas tree can be decorated with “New Year’s balls”. Let him stick “snowflakes” around the snowman that “the children made on the street”, and on the big ones New Year's balls let “colorful patterns” appear.
New Year's craft 5. - “Decoration from pine cones” (3-7 years)
In many kindergartens, children are already given homework to do a craft for the New Year.
“Pine cone decorations” will be an original craft and will transform the playroom in a kindergarten.
Material: cones (they can be found in the forest, park, in the yard); spruce branches; pearlescent paints (I bought them at a stationery store, took the cheapest ones - they worked); banks; large plate; candle.
How to do:
Color the pine cones in different colors with your child. Let them dry for 2-3 days. Then have your child fill the jars with colorful pine cones and spruce branches. These jars can be used to decorate shelves or window sills. The jars do not need to be covered with lids.
You can also make a decoration for your home from pine cones. New Year's table: Place pine cones and twigs on a plate and place a candle in the center. The decoration is ready!
P.S.. It is better to add spruce or pine branches 1-2 days before the New Year or before a matinee in the garden, as they can quickly crumble.
6. New Year's crafts from plasticine and cereals (3-7 years)
Children enjoy playing with cereals and making plasticine. We combine these two activities and get volumetric craft- a great gift for the New Year!
Material: plasticine; cereal; cardboard (I cut it out of a cereal box); toothpick.
How to do:
Smear the plasticine onto the cardboard in the shape of a rectangle. Using a toothpick, draw the outlines of a Christmas tree or New Year's toy on it. Give your child some cereal and let him fill in the pictures.
On the remaining places on the plasticine you can draw snowflakes with a toothpick. When the craft is ready, decorate it with stars or an unusual inscription.
New Year's crafts 7. - “Mittens” (3-6 years)
Take a look with your child at his winter mittens... Surely, they are the most ordinary and inconspicuous. We have the same ones. :) How I would like to have something that no one else has! So let the child himself make bright, unusual and cheerful New Year's mittens for yourself and your friends!
Material: colored cardboard; stroke (putty or corrector - white liquid to putty the inscription); nail polish; semolina; cotton wool; scraps from colored paper; rubber.
How we did it:
We cut out mittens from cardboard and decorated them. On some mittens they varnished the outlines and drew snowflakes with strokes, Christmas balls, Christmas tree. Other mittens were decorated with semolina. Stars, stripes, zigzags were drawn with glue and semolina was sprinkled on top.
Using cotton wool and snowflakes, we decorated green and blue mittens, and scraps of colored paper were glued onto yellow and red mittens.
Now we need to make sure that the child can put on these mittens! To do this, secure the elastic band on both sides at the base of the mittens with a stapler (see photo). The mittens are ready.
New Year's craft 8. - “Fairytale winter yard” (4-7 years)
This craft is especially interesting to us because it is “real, living.” First, we build it from real twigs and pine cones, and then we add our favorite toys, which dance in a circle, have fun and simply live in this fairy-tale yard.
Material: candy or shoe box; branches; cone; plasticine; colored cardboard; toys from kinders (animals/people); cotton wool
How to do:
Fence: Prepare 4 short branches and 4 long ones. Using plasticine, secure 4 short branches (pegs) to the corners of the box. At two pegs on one and the opposite side, make 2 crossbars from long branches so that you get two fences. Long branches are also attached with plasticine. The fences are ready.
House: Cut a wide strip of colored cardboard, make 3 equal folds on it and secure the ends with tape. You will get a through rectangle or square. Next, make the roof of the house from another strip. Bend it in half and attach it to the “house” with tape on its 2 opposite inner sides. Secure the house with tape to the box between two fences.
Christmas tree: Color the pine cone green, roll up plasticine balls and stick them on the resulting Christmas tree. Secure it with plasticine on the box opposite the house.
Fill in free places on the box with cotton wool and place kinder toys in the gaps of the cotton wool around the tree. Let them dance in circles. :)
New Year's crafts 9. - “Volume snowflakes” (4-7 years)
This craft is from my childhood. It is easy, simple and takes little time.
Material: colored/white paper
How to do: Fold a sheet of paper like an accordion. Give the ends of the accordion a shape: cut them in a semicircle or diagonally.
Make semicircular or triangular cuts on the folds of the accordion. Slightly loosen the accordion and glue its opposite ends on one side and the other. The snowflake is ready. To prevent it from falling apart, glue the folds together in the center of the snowflake.
New Year's craft 10. - “Elegant Christmas tree” (4-7 years)
« Volumetric snowflakes» from the previous craft inspired us to make a “Decorated Christmas Tree”.
Material: colored paper; cardboard; cotton wool; decorations for the Christmas tree - scraps of colored paper, small stickers or decorations for the cake.
How to do: Prepare 4 green leaves of different widths. Fold each sheet into an accordion shape and glue the opposite ends of each accordion separately. As a result, you will get 4 green snowflakes, like in Christmas craft number 9. Decorate these snowflakes with small stickers, cake decorations, or scraps of colored paper.
Cut a circle out of cardboard - this will be a stand for the Christmas tree. Let there be room on the stand for snow (made of cotton wool). Now, gluing green snowflakes together, assemble them into a Christmas tree on a stand. To make the Christmas tree stronger, glue a small piece of glue onto it. round cardboard between each tier of the Christmas tree.
Glue cotton wool onto the remaining places on the cardboard stand - this will be snow. Don't forget about the star at the top of the Christmas tree.
New Year's craft 11. - “Garland” (4-7 years)

New Year's craft 12. - “New Year's decoration” (4-7 years)
We love to paint pine cones and make crafts from them. We wanted to make this craft for a long time and decided to do it after visiting our friends. We really liked them Christmas decoration on the coffee table. True, we did it our own way.
Material: cones; thick cardboard; green tinsel; gift ribbon.
How to do: First, paint the pine cones with gouache. They will dry in about 1 day. Then cut a circle out of cardboard with a hole in the center. Wrap gift ribbon around this circle to make the color of the cardstock less noticeable. Then - tinsel.
Wrap the tinsel so that there are gaps on the cardboard circle for the pine cones. It is best to glue the pine cones with liquid glue, so they will stick more tightly. The New Year's decoration is ready. You can hang it on the door or decorate your table with it. In the middle of this decoration you can put New Year's toy- Santa Claus, snowman or Christmas tree.

New Year's craft 14. - “Sleigh with gifts” (4-7 years)
We love making gifts for our loved ones with our own hands. One evening, when we were waiting for our dad from work, we decided to make a sweet surprise for him - a sleigh with candies.

Now the most important thing is to fill the sleigh with sweets and pine cones!
New New Year's crafts will appear every week.
What could be more magical than a Christmas tree during the New Year and Christmas? In the evening, when the lights are turned off, a fairy tale begins in the mysterious flickering of lanterns in the branches. Everyone comes up with their own magical story.
For some, the nutcracker defeats the king of mice, for others, snowflakes dance in circles. We decided to compose a fairy tale about a Christmas tree elf. It will constantly change, acquire new plots, be supplemented with characters and, most likely, will be different every year. Only the beginning of our fairy tale will always be the same: - Once upon a time, in his cozy house, among the fluffy fir branches, there lived a little Christmas tree elf...
We decided to make such a fairy-tale house with our own hands today. Join us, because the fairy tale is already beginning!
For the walls we will take a rectangular piece from cardboard box. Let's cut a hole for the window and mark a place for the door. We will strengthen the walls with “wild stone.” Let's take the pieces eggshells and glue it with PVA glue.
To make the appearance of our masonry more realistic, we need to imitate traces of cement mortar in the seams. And the shells will hold on tighter this way. We will cover the walls with regular gray toilet paper. When it dries, we clean off the excess, exposing the protruding parts of our “stones”.
When the scales of the cones stick well, we will attach a pipe, because there will probably be a fireplace or stove in the house so that our elf can live warm and can cook magic potions or porridge.
We twist the pipe from a small piece of cardboard and cover it with lentils, as if it were a fireproof pebble.
To make it even more important, we will make a ladder for the roof. It is made from the same toilet paper, twisted into flagella. Yes, we almost forgot about the frame for the window, let's cut it out of cardboard.
Now let's put the roof in place and paint the facade of the house. We will do this with regular gouache. Although acrylic will be better, it does not need to be varnished.
All that remains is to glue the finished fairytale house onto the base. Since we planned that our elf will have light in the window, we will cut a hole in the base for the LED.
We wanted to decorate the “yard”. Snow is cotton wool, and a snowman is made of it. A Christmas tree is that “torn off” cone, painted in green color. This is not necessary; perhaps your elf will live in a hanging house. Then only the bottom and the loop will be useful.
We made such a fairy-tale house with our own hands in just one evening, and the little Christmas tree elf has already begun to live his own life. A bathhouse, a cellar, and even neighbors with their own houses have already been invented for him, this is a hedgehog and a squirrel.
Decoupage - decorating a bottle of champagne for the New Year
A gift made with your own hands is always original and unique. Do you want to surprise your loved ones? Decoupage a bottle of champagne. This New Year's craft will not go unnoticed.
For decoration you will need:
- A bottle of champagne;
- three-layer napkin with a New Year's motif;
- PVA glue;
- acrylic paint;
- decorations.
First of all, you need to clean the bottle from stickers. To do this, put it in a container of warm water and leave it for a while.
Cover the entire open surface of the bottle with acrylic paint. The first layer can be applied with a brush. After drying, we paint the bottle a second time, but use a piece of sponge (“smack it”).
In just an hour, the acrylic paint will dry, so you can remove the tape from the neck and proceed to the next stage of decoration. Take a decoupage napkin and tear out the selected fragment of the design from it.
We remove the two bottom layers from the napkin, and place the top one face down on a stationery file. Carefully pour some water over the drawing, straightening out all the wrinkles.
We smooth the file with our hands. We make sure that the napkin is securely fixed on the surface, and then carefully remove the file from the bottle.
We dilute PVA glue with water in a ratio of one to one. Apply this solution to the entire surface with the pattern using a brush. Its movements should be from the center to the edges, we try to smooth out all the wrinkles and expel the bubbles.
After the glue has completely dried, take fine sandpaper (preferably “zero”) and carefully sand the contours of the napkin. We also process those places where unevenness has formed.
Next, take a sponge or a piece of foam rubber, dip it in acrylic paint, and “smack” it along the edges of the pattern fragment. In this way we try to disguise the transition from the napkin to the main surface of the bottle.
The work is almost complete, all that remains is to add some “zest”. For example, glue a ribbon to the neck. The easiest way to do this is with glue gun. The braid will not only complete the entire ensemble, but will also close the transition from paint to foil.
Plasticine mittens - winter craft
What could be warmer and more pleasant than warm woolen mittens that warm your hands on a frosty day. If you make them with your own hands, for example, from plasticine, then such a craft can rightfully be considered a winter craft. With these mittens you can catch a magical winter fairy tale, 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, Father Frost and Snow Maiden are usually made. The mittens offered are unique, the craft is not similar to others. And it will be all the more interesting to make it with children, especially since it is so simple.
What you need to use to sculpt mittens:
- white and blue plasticine;
- a small strip of lace to create a believable knitted texture;
- toothpick
How to make mittens from plasticine
The white and blue set is very good option for sculpting the selected craft. Mittens should be woolen, knitted, cozy. They are indispensable in the cold season, when there are snowdrifts on the streets, the sun shines brightly, but does not warm. We always buy ourselves new accessories and never go out without taking this important thing.
First, make soft pellets to create the top of the craft. You need to prepare 2 balls of different sizes. The larger one will be for the palm, the smaller one for the thumb cell. Soften the plasticine in your hands and immediately proceed to the next step.
Press down the larger 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. Clasp your palm and thumb. Smooth out the joint. The body of the craft itself is ready. You shouldn't stop at this stage either. You need to act quickly while the plasticine is still warm. Now we need to create a knitted texture.
Make the bottom part - blue cuffs for accessories. Pull two blue pieces into flat cakes.
While the plasticine on the white part of the craft has not yet hardened, make a lace surface, or rather, an imitation of it, using a piece of lace. Press the lace towards soft plasticine and press with light pressure with your fingers on its surface. After you remove the fabric, an imprint will remain on the soft surface that will be very similar to the desired texture.
Instead of lace, something knitted, such as a napkin or even socks, will also work. Experiment and be surprised, because this is what it is unusual way applying a relief pattern to a plasticine surface.
Make both mittens textured. On a blue background, use a toothpick to also create a knitting effect by drawing small notches.
Pin the mittens together to complete your craft project.
An interesting winter option for children's creativity runs very quickly. In the process of work, children will learn not only to create parts of different shapes and sizes from plasticine, but also to create unusual relief designs on a smooth surface. Now think about what other plasticine-knitted items you can make. For example, model a hat or sweater using the same scenario.
New Year's deer made of felt - DIY craft
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 the New Year tree and a pleasant souvenir given 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 handle.
For work we will need the following materials:
- Medium density felt, brown or gray;
- paper;
- pen or thin chalk;
- threads to match the felt or in a contrasting color;
- padding polyester or other filler;
- ready-made eyes or beads;
- sequins, beads or beads.
Draw the silhouette of a deer on paper or print out a ready-made template and cut it out.
We transfer the image onto felt and carefully cut it out in duplicate.
We are preparing decor that will make the deer brighter and more festive. In our case, the decoration is a snowflake, crocheted from the remains of red threads. Dial 11 air loops and close them into a ring, then perform 14 sc (single crochet) inside the ring.
Using a double crochet (dc), we knit a “flower”, trying to distribute all the stitches evenly.
In the formed arcs between the dc we knit 5 dc, between which we make arches of 10 dc. loops
We tie the resulting element sc, knitting a picot from 3 air. loops approximately in the middle of the arch.
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.
Glue on the eyes.
We prepare the padding polyester and sew the blanks together, starting with the horns. It should be noted that there is no need to stuff the toy with padding polyester too tightly, as this may cause the seams to become uneven.
New Year's souvenir is ready!

DIY candles - crafts for the New Year
Candles have always been an integral attribute of any holiday, romantic evening. After each celebration, you most likely throw away candle stubs that could have been put to good use. If you have accumulated candle stubs, you can make new candles with your own hands.
Necessary materials:
- Old candles;
- toothpicks;
- small sticks;
- molds.
You need to melt the wax until it becomes completely liquid. To do this, place the wax in molds in a water bath.
Preparing the molds.
When the wax has already become liquid, pour it into the prepared molds.
You can use a cotton thread as a wick, or take it from old candles. To prevent it from floating up, we take a metal holder from the old candle and attach the wick.
Then we dip it in wax.
Place any stick on top to secure the wick.
Let the candles 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 candle in the glass, I used a Christmas tree decoration, tying it to the glass.
So in a simple way can be done New Year's candles with your own hands. You can experiment with different molds, or decorate finished candles with coffee beans.

DIY New Year's composition with hats
Create a New Year's atmosphere in your home with a fun arrangement 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 of 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 yourself from thick paper, fixing them with a stapler.
Cut 30 cm of thread and fold it in half. You will need approximately 30–40 such pieces, depending on the diameter of the ring.
Thread the thread, folded in half, into the paper ring. Pass its ends through the formed loop and tighten the resulting knot.
Tie the remaining threads on the ring in the same way. Try to place them close to each other, avoiding the formation of 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 using an additional thread of the same color.
Trim the ends of the threads, forming a neat pompom on the hat.
Straighten the cap from the inside, making it more voluminous. Fluff the pompom.
Make hats in other colors in the same way.
Let's make a small winter composition. To do this you will need a small dry branch, which can be found in the park.
Paint it white, creating 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 very visible brush strokes. Let it dry completely.
Putting the composition together. Place the branch in the bottle. Put caps on small branches. You can decorate the branch using threads and beads.

Wreath for New Year and Christmas from willow branches
The next master class is “Do-it-yourself Christmas wreath.”
To make the decoration we will take the following materials:
- Willow twigs (medium thickness);
- New Year's tinsel;
- cones;
- items for decorating cones (paints, glitter, beads, rhinestones, etc.);
- moment glue, thin copper wire or nylon threads for attaching decorative elements.
Important! To prevent the vine from breaking, you need to weave it as soon as it is broken. If the branches dry out, nothing will work.
Let's start forming the wreath.
We take several thin branches (long ones) at once and form a ring, intertwining them with each other.
If it doesn't work out right away correct form, don’t be upset, with subsequent weaving the ring will even out. It is necessary to weave the vine by securing the end between the rods 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 move on 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 you have enough imagination for (paints, rhinestones, beads, ribbons, glitter, and so on).
The end result was these beautiful decorative cones.
To attach the cones to the wreath, you can use instant glue, thin copper wire or nylon thread. In my case, moment glue was used.
That's it, the wreath holiday decoration home ready. A minimum of effort and time was spent, but maximum pleasure was gained from spending time.
You can even get the whole family involved. This way everything will be much more interesting.

New Year's boot with a bunny
New Year's gifts are the most desirable for all children. They write letters to Santa Claus, asking him to give them toys and sweets. Then they expect all their desires to be fulfilled. Good Wizard definitely responds to their requests. Under the Christmas tree New Year's Eve children find plush bunnies and bear cubs, dolls and baby dolls. You can also make a gift in the form of a craft with your own hands from any materials available for children’s creativity, for example, plasticine.
This lesson shows the stages of making a plasticine craft for the New Year in the form of a bright boot with a bow, filled with gifts, the main one of which is a white bunny.
For sculpting New Year's gift prepare:
- white, red, blue, black, green plasticine;
- tool.
How to make a New Year's craft from plasticine
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 what this one is detailed master class. Fantasize and enjoy the creative process.
To begin, take 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 out the resulting cylinder on one side and press it with your fingers at a right angle.
In the right places, simply smooth the surface of the boot, giving it a believable appearance. The base of the craft is ready. Of course, in reality, the part should be hollow inside, but we will not cut a hole, and we will simply place the bunny toy on top, or rather, we will only make its upper part.
To decorate your New Year's product, pull out several threads of white, green, of blue color. Roll out the soft mass with your fingers with light pressure, pressing it onto a hard surface.
Use a thin green sausage to make a edging for the boot top. 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 staff.
Form blanks for the top part of the bunny figurine. For a plush toy we will show only the head with long ears and front paws. Use white plasticine for modeling.
