November 8, 2018
Good afternoon dear readers. Today the article will be entirely devoted to crafts on the theme of New Year 2019. Of course, you can not bother with crafts, but go and buy your favorite toy or figurine. But it will not be as dear to you as the one you made with your own hands.
Also, the article will be very useful for those who have small children who go to primary school or kindergarten. Since on the eve of almost any holiday, these educational institutions often ask children to make something at home, preferably in the style of the upcoming holiday. And then they hold a competition for the most the best craft. And of course, you want your child to take at least a prize.
And making crafts on a New Year's theme is doubly enjoyable, as it evokes the New Year's mood. The absence of which many adults complain about. We don’t have such complaints in our family. Because before the holiday, our house is transformed into a fabulous decorated house from handmade crafts. These include snowflakes and paper garlands and much more. In general, the introduction was a little long, I suggest we get down to business right away.
Before you decorate your home for the New Year, you need to make all sorts of decorations. You can also save a lot of money on this matter if you use old unnecessary trash for production, which is a pity to throw out and has nowhere to put it.
Required:
- Tinsel
- Glue gun
- Wire
- Old CDs 12 pcs.
- Drill with a thin drill or awl
- Pliers
Production stages:
From a cardboard sheet, cut out a template in the shape of a pentagon with sides of 6.5 cm. We apply the template to the disk and put dots where the vertices are. These points are for making holes in them.
We drill all the disks point by point, and then connect them using wire and pliers. At the end you should get a ball.
It should look something like this.
Next we glue tinsel onto each disc. We glue along the contour of the disk using hot glue. 
This is what happens in the end. Such a craft and story can also be used as New Year's souvenir will do too.
You can also build beautiful wreath from cones. Although wreaths are not so popular in our country. Still, if you decorate your front door with such wreaths, it will look simply amazing.
You will need the following:
- A few cones
- Decorative elements
- Paint and varnish in cans
- Glue gun
- Wreath base
Production stages:
As a base, you can use foam pipe insulation or a small hoop. You can also prepare a papier mache base.
We paint the base the color with the cones and attach the cones to the base using hot glue.
At the end, you can open the craft with varnish to add shine and decorate it with decorative elements.
A wreath of pine cones looks quite beautiful.
Snowman made of threads and balls.
Well, who else but the snowman is the very first one associated with winter and the New Year. You can make it quite easily; you just need to collect all the necessary materials.
Required:
- Balloons 5-6 pcs.
- Tube of PVA glue
- Skein of white thread
- Decorative elements (ribbon scarf and hat)
Production process:
We pump the balls with air and make them of different sizes.
One needs the biggest one, the other one needs a smaller one, and the third one needs an even smaller one. And two more very small, but identical. Then we wrap the balls with threads in different directions and coat each new layer with glue.
When the glue dries, pierce the balls and pull them out into their resulting shapes.
All that remains is to assemble the snowman using the same glue. And in the future I use my creativity to add eyes, mouth and nose to the snowman.
And also attach the hands. These will be two small balls. Here's what you can do from the materials presented.
Or here’s another master class on how to make a beautiful snowman from an ordinary sock.
You will need:
- Scissors
- Super glue
- Scotch tape wide
- Cotton or knitted sock
- Threads
- Several buttons
Production stages:
We cut the toe just a few centimeters from the heel line. We will use the part with the heel. Tie the sock tightly with a thread and turn it inside out. This will be the base of the snowman. We tie it in the part where we cut it.
And fix the figure in this position. Make a few turns and then tie the thread into a knot. We cut off the excess ends with scissors.
We make a scarf from a piece of fabric to disguise the threads.
From the second piece of the sock we make a cap by folding part of the sock several times. Apply super glue to the buttons and attach them to the snowman’s body.
To make the snowman's face I use multi-colored beads. Which I also attach with glue.
Santa Claus from a disposable plate
To create a beautiful and original frost case, you will need the following set:
- Disposable paper plate
- Scissors
- Paints
- Red pompom
- Paper
- Red cardboard
- Eyes for toys
Production stages:
We cut a disposable plate into two parts. Cut just above the middle. And paint the inside beige.
From colored cardboard we cut out a large triangle larger than a plate.
From a sheet of white paper, cut out a strip 2 cm wide and two circles. Cut one of the circles into two parts. Next, we assemble the craft according to the picture.
Christmas tree made of cardboard and threads
You can create small souvenirs in the form of a Christmas tree and give them to your guests who come to celebrate the New Year with you.
You will need to cut out corrugated cardboard to cut out such a beautiful Christmas tree. Approximately 15-20 cm in size.
Then wrap it with threads. We attach each turn with regular glue or you can use hot melt glue. On back side attach the magnet. 
Such beautiful Christmas trees can be created using this technology.
Snowflake made from popsicle sticks and buttons. It also turns out very beautiful and unusual.
To create such beauty you will need at least 3-5, and at most 7-8 ice cream sticks. We connect them into a star like this. Then we decorate with buttons, which we also attach with hot glue. At the end we attach a rope and hang it on the tree.
You can try to glue a house and a snowman out of cardboard and cover them with cotton wool. And make a small tree from a twig. You will get something similar to this picture.
Or try making a penguin like this from two bottoms from plastic bottles.
In the year of the pig, you can create such a funny pig. This beauty is made from socks and cotton wool. Watch the sequence and you will understand everything right away. In the same way, we made the snowman a little taller.
An ordinary Christmas tree ball, only painted by you personally, can be an excellent craft. Take a Christmas ball and apply plain paint on it; this will be the main background. And then color it however you want. 
And if you have any old glass balls left, you can wipe off all the paint from them and fill them with rubber bands like this. It also turns out beautifully.
Or decorate Christmas balls.
Have you ever seen Christmas balls with a photo inside? See how this can be done.
Beautiful stars that we decorate with beads or seed beads will also fit perfectly into the interior of any New Year's beauty. Or maybe such a star will be a beautiful addition to your New Year's outfit.
And if you show your imagination, even ordinary walnuts can become beautiful New Year’s crafts or Christmas tree decorations.
Or maybe you would like to make these beautiful snowmen from old light bulbs.
This master class will also be useful to you. Because you can make not only snowmen. Look, I think this idea of creating crafts will be interesting to you.
Souvenirs made of fir and pine cones for the New Year
Crafts made from natural materials always turn out very beautiful and attractive. Let's start with the simplest and continue with the most complex.
It’s very easy to create a beautiful candlestick using pine cones and threads. You need to take a small jar, a few cones, natural thread and hot glue.
We tie a thread around the neck of the jar several turns and make beautiful bow. We glue the cones with hot glue to the thread. It turns out to be such beauty.
We put the jar on a tray which we decorate beautifully with fir branches and the craft is ready.
If you want to make it a little more beautiful, you can decorate the neck of the jar with semolina, which from a distance will look like snow.
You need to first tint the semolina with chalk. Coat the neck of the jar with PVA glue and sprinkle the area in the glue with semolina. We tie a beautiful bow on the neck of the jar.
You can decorate pine cones in the same way. But for the biggies, we’ll prepare something cooler. Add some glitter to the semolina. Now coat the corner of the cone with glue and sprinkle with semolina and glitter.
You can do without semolina at all, just use glitter golden color. And then follow the familiar pattern. In glue then in glitter.
Using white acrylic paint you can make these cones in the snow.
Add a couple of beads and a bow and you will get a beautiful Christmas tree decoration. Next, the decorated cones can be combined on our candlestick.
Now I propose to make beautiful Christmas trees from large cones. You will need small pots, acrylic paints, small stars and hot glue.
We attach the cones to the pot, paint them white or green color. And we attach a small star on top.
Using the same principle, you can make a larger Christmas tree. We make a cone out of cardboard. The height depends on the number of cones. We attach the cones to the cone using glue. Decorate beautiful bows and beads.
Now the craft is a little more complicated. This technique is called topiary. With the approach of the New Year, a bunch of craftsmen have appeared who make crafts in this style.

Try making this unusual Christmas ball from colored cardboard. We cut several strips of the same length and width. Next, we lay them out so that they all connect in the middle. Then we make a hole and thread a piece of a cocktail tube onto the thread in the middle. There is a small bead at the top. Everything is simple and easy.
Do you have a huge amount of unnecessary newspapers accumulated at home? Then you can find a use for them. Let's make it out of newspaper tubes volumetric New Year's ball on the Christmas tree.
