Goal: Making New Year's toys using available materials to develop children's creative abilities. Objectives: To teach.

We made this Christmas tree decoration from eggshells last year.

Material:

1. Eggshells

3. Sequins for decorative works

4. A piece of self-hardening mass for modeling

5. Some “grass” yarn (we didn’t have green, so we took white)

6. Ribbon

8. Sequins, rhinestones (we took them from my mother’s old jeans)

9. A little bit of cotton wool.

Work progress:

1. First, prepare the shell. After making a small hole, pour the contents onto a plate, and wash and dry the shell. Carefully break out a hole of the required size from the dried shell (we make the hole on the side).

2. Then the children's work begins. We paint the shell in the desired color from the outside and inside (if necessary, we trim the edges of the hole in the shell. It seemed to me that the painted shell is easier to process and breaks off more neatly). Since our Christmas tree is white, it was decided to paint the inside of the shell blue (for contrast).

3. While the paint is not dry, generously sprinkle the shell with glitter. Large decorative glitter was used on the outside, and glitter for nails was sprinkled on the inside.

4. A cotton wool strip was placed along the edge of the hole on the shell to hide the unevenness of the hole, and multi-colored sequins were glued to the top of the cotton wool.

5. From the modeling mixture, roll up a small carrot (the trunk of the future Christmas tree) and, when it dries, wrap it with “grass” yarn.

6. At first, Vika insistently sprinkled the finished Christmas tree with glitter for nails, but they didn’t stick to the yarn, so it was decided to decorate the Christmas tree with rhinestones, which we successfully picked out from my mother’s old jeans. Instead of a star, they placed a red sequin on the top of the tree. I glued all this beauty inside the shell (I did it myself so that children’s fingers wouldn’t accidentally break the fragile shell).

7. The loop was made from a golden ribbon from a plastic bottle of the herbal drink “Taiga Gift”.

The eggshell Christmas tree toy is ready!

The first thing to do when decorating a Christmas tree for the new year 2020 is to hang a garland on it, but you should only hang a garland bought in a store, and not one you made yourself, this is very dangerous. In this article we will talk to you about how to make Christmas tree decorations with your own hands from eggshells, pine cones, nuts and dough, and we will also show you diagrams of how to make Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden from paper. After the “lights”, the Christmas tree should be decorated with toys; first of all, large toys should be hung, and then small ones. Don’t forget that toys of the same color and shape should be placed in different places on the tree. And at the very last moment a star is put on the top, and the spruce is decorated with tinsel and rain. Some people also decorate the tree with beads, but they need to be placed in a circle so as not to obscure other toys. Also, you don’t need to put a lot of toys on a small tree, but on a large tree you need large toys. In order for the spruce to look beautiful, you need to place large toys on the lower branches and reduce their size towards the top. You can do the same yourself!

You can hang hand-made toys on the Christmas tree using paper clips. First, you need to bend the paper clip itself and make a hook out of it, on which the toy will be attached, and use the remaining part to hang the toy on the Christmas tree.

Some people decorate their Christmas tree using only one color and it looks very effective. For example, you can hang golden-colored balls on a spruce tree and complement them with tinsel and rain of the same color, and finally decorate everything with beads. Many also decorate the Christmas tree with paper garlands or lanterns.

A few years ago, New Year trees were also decorated with sweets; this can also be applied in modern homes by wrapping fruits and candies in multi-colored foil.

Christmas tree toys

In modern society, many people prefer to purchase New Year's toys in the store, but still some people, especially those who have children, make their own New Year's decorations. After all, any thing that was made with soul will delight the eyes of not only household members, but also those around you, especially since the 2020 New Year’s toys for the Christmas tree with your own hands will be able to speak about the taste of the owner.

You can decorate the Christmas tree with artificial snow or frost. To do this, you need to dip the cones and branches of the tree into a solution made from salt for a couple of hours, after which they need to be taken out and dried well. Next, you need to grate the foam using a simple grater, grease the prepared branches and cones with glue and sprinkle with foam. In order for the cones to become open, they need to be steamed. And if you want the cones not to open, you need to put them in a warm room and spray them with hairspray.

Garlands and toys

In order to make toys for the New Year 2020 with your own hands, you will need the following materials: glue, it is better to take a glue stick or PVA, cotton wool, scissors, paper clips, glitter, an awl, paints, a brush, felt-tip pens, foil, woolen and simple multi-colored ones. thread, cardboard and colored paper, and wrapping paper.

Falling snow

You can make a garland of falling snow from cotton wool with your own hands. To do this, you need to tie small threads onto a long simple thread at regular intervals. Then you need to tie a cotton ball onto each small thread, so that it does not fall off, you need to lubricate the thread with glue.

Paper garland of rings

You can also make a paper garland of rings. To do this, strips of the same length and width are cut out of colored paper, after which they are glued together by threading rings into each other.

DIY garland chain

You can also make a chain garland with your own hands, which will consist of a variety of shapes. For such a garland you need glue, ribbons and shiny paper. This type of New Year's garland should be hung vertically on the spruce. You can also very quickly and easily make a garland of people holding hands. To do this, you need to cut out a long strip of colored paper, then fold it like an accordion, and cut out half of the silhouette. In order to get a long garland for the Christmas tree, you need to glue together several sheets of paper. You can also cut out various figures from cardboard and decorate them with glitter or shiny paints, just don’t forget to make a small hole at the top, thread rain or a thread into it and hang it on the spruce. You can also create glitter yourself by cutting tinsel or rain into small pieces.

Many may be surprised, but it can also be done from eggshells. To do this, you need to take one raw egg, rinse it well, and use a thick needle to make two holes on different sides. All contents must be blown into a special bowl, after which the shell must be rinsed well and dried until completely dry.

And only now the shell is ready to make the toy. You can first color the egg with felt-tip pens or paint. You can also stick pre-prepared figures onto the egg. It is very interesting when an animal is made from an egg. Ears, paws, and a tail will need to be cut out of paper, and all other parts of the body will need to be drawn or cut out from a book. One, to make it convenient to paint the egg, you need to attach plasticine to a small saucer and carefully attach the egg there. This is such a cool and beautiful New Year’s craft for the Christmas tree, a toy made from eggshells.

Many have already become convinced that you can make Christmas tree decorations with your own hands from any material, and cones with nuts are no exception. The easiest way is to paint the cones gold or silver.

Another way to make walnut toys at home. You need to separate the walnut into two halves, to do this you need to use a penknife, then you need to take out the kernel, and then glue the shell with wood glue, and do not forget to thread the thread from the inside of the nut. And the front part can be decorated in any way you like. Also, with the help of cones and nuts, you can build many birds and animals. It all depends on the imagination and desire of the inventor himself.

New Year's toys made from dough

This is a very interesting method of making beautiful New Year's toys at home in the year of the rat, which can impress not only a child, but also an adult, both during the cooking process and the finished result. To prepare a New Year's toy from puff pastry you will need flour, salt and water. Salt and flour should be in a one to one percentage ratio. Let's say you take two glasses of salt, then you also need to take two glasses of flour. And when kneading the dough from these ingredients, you need to gradually add water until you get a stiff dough. You need to start sculpting toys before the dough begins to dry out, and those places where the parts are connected, for example, the bunny’s foot, are attached to the body, need to be moistened with water. And when the toy is ready, it needs to be painted, this should also be done immediately before the dough has dried, it is better to use gouache, as it adheres to the dough better than other paints. You need to dry ready-made New Year's toys from dough at room temperature; you don't need to put the toy in the oven if you don't want it to burn or completely lose its desired shape.

Lantern for the Christmas tree

Many people decorate their Christmas trees with lanterns. After all, such a toy can really decorate a tree beautifully, especially since the design is very simple. To make a flashlight, you need to fold a sheet of paper in half, with the colored side facing out if it is single-sided paper. Further from the fold line, you need to make cuts in some places, and at equal intervals, and you do not need to make cuts less than two centimeters before the edge of the sheet. Then you need to unfold the paper and make a tube out of it, gluing the ends of the sheet together. Then you need to simultaneously squeeze the sheet from the bottom and top sides to make a flashlight.

But that’s not all, the flashlight itself needs a middle, for this you need to take thick paper and glue a small diameter tube from it. Next, this center needs to be placed inside the flashlight; for this you will need a stapler or glue. And at this stage, the creation of a lantern for the New Year tree with your own hands is completed, which can be used in different ways in the future. You can hang it on a spruce tree, or you can decorate some vase, but then the lantern should not have a middle. You can also hang several lanterns on a serpentine, and you will get an amazing garland. If you want to surprise your loved ones, you can do something else, and they will be pleasantly surprised by your ingenuity!

Everyone knows from a very early age that not a single New Year's holiday is complete without the presence of Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden. And of course, these main characters should decorate our beautiful Christmas tree, or be below, at the tree trunk, guarding the gifts.

To make a paper Santa Claus with your own hands for the Christmas tree for the New Year, you need to cut out a part of a circle of any size from thick paper; the circle itself can be drawn using a compass, or a cup or glass. Then on this circle you need to draw parts of the grandfather’s body and color them. The easiest step is completed, then you need to make eyebrows, a beard and a hat for Santa Claus. To do this, you will need to cut the edges of a sheet of white paper, as shown in the figure. Then the resulting “beard” needs to be twisted onto a match if you want to make a small Santa Claus or a pencil, if you are planning to create a large toy. Thanks to this, New Year's Santa Claus's beard will become much more beautiful, curlier and thicker. Then all the strips for the beard should be glued in rows, it will be more effective to start from the first top row, under the nose, these will be the mustache, and starting from the second row, the beard itself is obtained. These are the diagrams for making Santa Claus on the New Year tree with your own hands.

With each row it is necessary to narrow the cavities, the shape of a triangle should be obtained. After this, you need to deal with the eyebrows, they should be directly above the eyes, but if you raise them very high, then Santa Claus will look like a scared, angry or surprised character. Also, you should not place them a millimeter from the eyes, this will make your grandfather gloomy and ugly. But, despite all the recommendations, you yourself can choose what mood your Santa Claus will be in. After you've finished with the beard, you need to roll up a cylinder from red paper and attach it below the eyes, this will be your grandfather's nose. The character’s hat and caftan can be decorated with the remnants of the beard, or a new fringe can be made. Next, you need to make a tone from the finished form and glue it together. And finally, you need to build a tassel for the cap, which must be attached with glue. That's it, Santa Claus in the form of a Christmas tree toy is made beautifully and independently.

In order to make a paper Snow Maiden for the holiday tree, you need to do everything the same way as Santa Claus’s craft began. It is necessary to cut out a part of a circle of any size from thick paper, but smaller than the circle for Santa Claus. After this, you need to draw hands, parts of the face, a braid and paint everything with bright colors; you must not forget to depict a blush on your face. Next, you need to cut the white ribbons and twist them onto a match or a pencil; you need to choose what to twist on, judging by the size. These ready-made ribbons will be eyelashes and decoration for your beauty's clothes.

When the granddaughter's model is ready, it will need to be rolled into a cone and glued. After this, you need to make a crown from thick paper, make a small cut in the middle and bend the edges, after which they need to be glued to the Snow Maiden’s head.

In this simple way and with a step-by-step diagram, you can make with your own hands the main characters of the New Year, such as Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden. And how and where to place them is up to the owner; of course, this couple will look best under the Christmas tree.

DIY Christmas tree

You can make absolutely any craft with your own hands, especially a Christmas tree. In many houses the space does not allow for this. To put up a live spruce, you still want to look at the fluffy beauty. In such cases, artificial trees and spruces, made with your own hands at home, come to the rescue. Also, many housewives do not buy live spruce trees because they constantly need to remove fallen needles.

In all retail areas where Christmas trees are sold, spruce branches are also available for sale. Many people purchase several branches and place them on the walls or in vases, which over time are decorated with garlands or toys. A large floor vase containing a bouquet of pine or spruce branches looks especially chic. So that for 2020 you can place several branches in a small vase and be satisfied not only with their beauty, but also with the New Year’s aroma.

Christmas tree branches

When decorating twigs, you can show your imagination, just like with. After all, a garland, a variety of balls and rain with tinsel will look great on a branch. You can also weave small Christmas wreaths from small branches. To do this, you need to twist a ring from long branches and secure it with wire. Thus, you need to weave in new branches and secure them with wire to the desired size. After this, you need to “dress up” the wreath with beads, a garland, or wrap it in tinsel. If desired, you can hang toys on the finished wreath. Every day it is necessary to spray the wreath with water so that it does not lose its appearance; if this is not done, the wreath may turn yellow, and the needles may even fall off. You can also decorate the table with pine branches. Candles framed by twigs are considered a good combination. But someone doesn’t want to buy either a Christmas tree or branches at all, then you need to somehow create a festive atmosphere. You can hang the garland on a window or on a wall. A garland in a vase also looks great; when the main light is turned off, it creates a stunning effect. Decorations can be placed throughout the home and will look good on bookshelves, in flower pots, on cabinet handles and other places.

Homemade toys for the Christmas tree

You can also decorate the tree for the New Year 2020 with homemade toys from scrap materials. You just have to show your imagination and get unnecessary materials out of the cabinets, and it’s a matter of technology. The easiest option is to do it yourself. If you can’t figure out what kind of Christmas tree toy you can make, then you need to use special books and advice from experts.

Booties and socks

Also for the New Year 2020 you can have different sizes. The most popular option is socks of two or three colors, knitted according to a simple standard pattern on four knitting needles. But when knitting, you should not cast on too many loops. Ready-made socks can be decorated with a beautiful ribbon or beads. You can also use socks in the form of boots as decorations for the Christmas tree.

Balls for the Christmas tree

You can also make unusual balls for the Christmas tree with your own hands. The frame for the balls will be tennis balls or burnt out light bulbs. The balls themselves need to be decorated with multi-colored paints, or with other objects, such as ribbons, buttons, laces. The base of the lamp should be wrapped in a beautiful piece of fabric and hung or sewn on a loop. If you attach the loop to glue, you need to take into account that sometimes the glue corrodes the plastic.

You can decorate not only your home with homemade toys, they can serve as an excellent gift for relatives or friends, because this thing will be much better than the one bought in the store.

Angels

You can also decorate your home Christmas tree with angels. To do this, you need cardboard with one side equal to ten centimeters, on which you need to cut a window, at a distance of two centimeters from the edges. Then you need to fold a square out of transparent fabric that will resemble an accordion and place it between the edge of the cardboard and the window. After this, you need to wind the thread on the cardboard, and when it is thick enough, you will need to secure the threads in the window with a cord. Next, you will need to cut off the remaining cardboard and straighten the fabric from which you will get wings for the angel. Then all the threads will need to be cut in the middle and made the same length, this will be a skirt. You will need to make a head from a bead and attach it to the body of the figurine. Now you need to draw the angel’s face and make hair from woolen threads. To make the toy beautiful, you can sprinkle the angel with glitter. After that, you need to roll the cardboard in the shape of a cone, insert a thick thread into the pointed part of it, tie a tight knot, pull it up and get a loop, by which you need to hang the toy on the Christmas tree. Finally, you need to glue a circle to the bottom of the cone, along which you need to run a decorative thread or lace. For convenience, you need to start from the top of the cone, changing colors, and wrap the bottom with thread from the edge to the center.

Thus, you can create beautiful and simple decorations for the New Year yourself. This can save your budget and show your imagination. This will be especially interesting for those people who have children who will also be able to make their desires come true. But still, most people prefer to buy everything in a store so as not to bother.

Eggshells have the correct shape, making them an excellent material for crafts. Let's try to make a craft using this material. These will be toys made from egg shells - Father Frost and Snow Maiden, the main characters of the New Year. They will look great on the Christmas tree and become an interesting decoration. The only point is that you need to hang children's crafts made from shells so that the baby does not accidentally take them out and break them.

It doesn't take much to get the job done. A detailed description will allow everyone to make crafts from eggshells; photos will show in detail each stage of the work.

To prepare the shell you will need:
· Two eggs (one for Father Frost, the other for Snow Maiden).
· Knife
· Water

The main thing here is to correctly remove the contents, that is, the egg itself, without damaging the shell. Lightly break the eggs so that the shells do not crack, but the tops of the eggs can be removed.

Pour the contents of the egg into a container. We won't need it, but it may be useful for preparing some dishes later.

We thoroughly wash and dry the inner surface of the eggs.


For Santa Claus we will need:
· Some red construction paper.
· A pair of cotton pads.
· PVA glue.
· Some decorations for the hat. We had blue glitter paper and a star hole punch.
· A little plasticine for the mouth, eyes and nose.
We roll up a small cone from red colored paper, the diameter of an egg. This is the future Santa Claus hat. Trim the edges to make them even.


Glue the cap to the eggshell so as to hide the hole in the shell.

Divide one cotton pad into two parts. Inside it is lush and could easily pass for cotton wool. We form a small ball - this is the pompom on the Santa Claus hat, and cut out a small strip - this is the trim for the bottom of the hat. Glue them in place.


From the second part of the cotton pad we will make a beard. A small hole should be cut in it for the mouth.


Glue the beard with glue. The disc should be attached with the fluffy side up.


We decorate the hat with confetti, interesting figures, snowflakes or plasticine.


We make the mouth and nose of Santa Claus from red plasticine.


We make eyes from black plasticine.

For the Snow Maiden we will need:
· Cotton pad.
· Yellow gouache.
· Egg shell.
· PVA glue.
· A little plasticine.
We prepare the shell in the same way as for Santa Claus.


Cut off one quarter of the cotton pad.


From the remaining disk we roll a cone, the diameter of which will correspond to the upper part of the eggshell. Glue the cone to the shell. This will be the Snow Maiden's hair.


We dye our hair with yellow gouache.


Now we are making a crown for the Snow Maiden. To do this, first draw it on paper.


Then cut it out of colored paper along the contour.


The crown can be decorated, for example, with glitter gel and glued to the Snow Maiden.




Now we “draw” the hair in the front with yellow plasticine.


We braid the Snow Maiden's braid from plasticine and attach it to the back of her hair.


We form a bow from plasticine.

Attach a bow to the braid.


From plasticine we form the eyes, nose and mouth of the Snow Maiden.

Now all that remains is to attach threads or decorative ribbons. And now, children's crafts made from eggshells are ready.
