A decoration for a real Christmas tree in the form of a three-dimensional hanging Christmas tree can be made from ordinary cardboard.

To create we need:

• multi-colored cardboard;
• glue;
• awl;
• threads;
• scissors.

We draw the most primitive children's Christmas tree with splayed branches, the main thing is to maintain symmetry, cut it out, then trace exactly the same Christmas tree on another sheet of cardboard and get a second blank. We bend the workpiece along vertical symmetry and glue it together. You can decorate our paper toy with rhinestones. Then use an awl to pierce a hole in the upper part and thread it through. The decoration is ready.

A cardboard craft that you can either put on your desktop or hang on your Christmas tree.

Another Christmas tree, option No. 2

Another example of paper crafts. At the heart of such a Christmas tree - cardboard cone. To create we need:

• multi-colored paper;
• glue;
• scotch;
• scissors.

Manufacturing procedure:

1. We cut out a large number of strips of the same length and width from colored paper. We glue each strip with glue so that it looks like a loop, then we glue all the loops with tape.
2. We apply layers of tape onto the cardboard cone, to which our strips are glued.
   This is the Christmas tree we got:

A bright Christmas tree can decorate any room

Christmas tree from a magazine

Unusual, but Very easy craft origami. Every home will definitely have an unnecessary magazine - so you can make an original Christmas tree from it.

In the magazine, we bend each page like this: the upper right corner towards us at forty-five degrees, then we bend the sheet diagonally in half.

Our bottom corner has gone beyond the boundaries of the magazine, so we turn it up.

We put all the pages together like this.

Like this original craft it worked out. As you can see, nothing complicated, but a lot of pleasure because you were able to make it with your own hands.

New Year's paper lanterns

We made a Christmas tree, now it’s time to make our own paper lanterns. Let's look at several simple options on how to make paper lanterns with your own hands.

Lantern made of stripes

To create such a flashlight, you need to cut strips of colored paper of the same width and length: the longer the strip, the larger the flashlight will be. Average length the strips will be 15 cm.

Your little one will love creating with you. unusual crafts

We fold the strips and pierce holes at both ends. We fix the end of the lace on one of the sides and secure it so that the lace does not jump out. Then we thread the lace through another hole and pull it tight. The strips will curve in a semicircle.

We straighten the flashlight so that the stripes form a ball shape. The flashlight is ready.

Chinese lantern

How to make a Chinese paper lantern with your own hands? To create such a craft you will need:

• scissors;
• strips of colored paper (18 pieces);
• glue;
• two paper circles with a diameter of 4 cm;
• thread with a needle.

We bend the strips in half. Using a needle, first string a circle onto a thread, then one side of the strips, then the second and last circle. It will look like a spiral.

DIY Chinese lantern, photo

We tighten the thread so that the strips form a ball and straighten it. You can decorate the top and bottom with beads. Glue the loop. Our Chinese paper lantern is ready, it can be hung on a fluffy beauty - a Christmas tree.

sky lantern

How to make a sky lantern out of paper with your own hands? To create a craft you need to take a sheet of colored paper measuring 24x60cm. We bend the sheet in half, then fold it like an accordion.
We unfold the sheet and along the central fold we make triangular creases on all the folds of our triangular accordion.

Sky lanterns can be made colorful

We make the same creases along the bottom and top edges of the sheet. Glue it into a cylinder. Sew a loop on top.

Advice. Such a lantern can be glued from any paper, but preferably in bright and saturated colors. Abstract drawings or oriental motifs will look very good. Before creating such a craft, you can pre-paint the paper to your taste.

Paper garland

How to make a paper garland with your own hands? We suggest you do it decoration from paper balls .

Photo of a paper garland of homemade multi-colored balls

To make such a garland, we will need strips of equal length and width. To make it more convenient to fasten them with tape, we make the upper and lower parts pointed. You will need 4 strips per ball, preferably if they are different colors.

We braid the strips until they form into a ball.

We take two strips, glue them with tape and start braid a pigtail. As you weave, the braid will twist and turn into a ball. When the ball is ready, you will need to hide the loose ends between the weaving. It's worth doing this action until the ball is completely formed.

To create long garland You will need to twist a lot of balls.

Then we string each ball onto a colored thread. The garland of paper balls is ready: you can decorate both the Christmas tree and the room with it.

New Year's snowflake

Let's make beautiful paper snowflakes for the New Year. How to cut a beautiful volumetric snowflake? A paper snowflake can be cut out according to a pattern or made using the quilling technique. The instructions for making paper snowflakes are simple: prepare paper blanks and make them up finished snowflake. Glue the parts together.

This paper snowflake is made using the origami technique.

To create such tender and air crafts All you need is office paper. Twisted in a special way, they look like real snowflakes. First we will prepare strips of paper. To create a curl, a strip of paper must be twisted tightly on a skewer. After winding it, we straighten the paper curl and remove the “washer”.

Snowflake blanks

We need to come up with a pattern for our snowflake. The number of rows can be from one to four. The main thing is that the patterns allow all the parts to be glued together.

First row– glue six “drops” on the sides;
Second row– six “arrows”;
Third row– six “squares”;
And here’s a sample of a snowflake:

You can get creative and make various applications on glass or thread a shiny thread into a snowflake and hang it on the Christmas tree.

As you can see, New Year's decorations You can make a great variety out of paper with your own hands. We have shown you only a small part of what can be made from paper. These New Year's crafts paper decorations, toys and origami snowflakes will perfectly highlight the festive New Year's decoration both the Christmas tree and the interior.

Good afternoon. Today we will make crafts for the New Year from paper and cardboard with our own hands. I collected the most accessible and easy-to-use crafts for children and adults. You can find here ideas for activities in kindergarten for the New Year (appliques and paper crafts). Also here you will get ideas for home decor for the New Year using paper and cardboard.

Let's start doing New Year's tale with our own hands, we will turn paper into an elegant New Year for our family. Let's apply our good mood and skillful hands and spin a round dance of New Year's crafts.

Candlestick for New Year

(made of colored paper and white cardboard).

These cute cardboard snowman candlesticks can decorate your New Year's interior.

Each paper snowman unfolds as regular postcard. And it can be placed vertically on its edge (like a postcard). Punched holes in the cardboard allow you to use this paper craft for the New Year as a festive candlestick. Let me tell you in detail, step by step, how to make a quick and simple cute craft with your own hands.

How to make this New Year's candlestick craft from paper.

Step 1 – on plain paper (draft paper), print or draw any graphic pattern (the one you want to pierce on the snowman’s belly)

Step 2 – cut out the silhouette of a snowman’s body from thick white cardboard (preferably glossy, double-sided). It will be a silhouette in the form of a hill with rounded edges, growing from left to right (as in the photo above).

Step 3 – we apply our draft with a pattern to this silhouette and fasten it with paper clips. Put it on the table terry towel in 2-3 additions. Place the cardboard with the draft on the towel, the patterned draft side up. Use a needle to pierce the drawing on the draft. So that the needle passes through the draft, through the cardboard silhouette of the snowman’s body lying underneath and sticks into the towel. We cut off the entire drawing in all places.

Step 4 – cut out the snowman’s oval arms and round head from the same cardboard. From colored paper we cut out a nose, an eye cap, and a mouth. We paint the hat with colored felt-tip pens or markers. We assemble the craft entirely from these paper parts. And we get beautiful gift for the New Year, made from paper, made by yourself

And from the remains of white cardboard you can make such a folding craft on New Year. From colored paper we make candle flames and green sprigs of holly with red berries.

It’s also very beautiful to make LAYER crafts in the form of houses and Christmas trees from white thick paper for the New Year. Placed on the edges of the folds, they will be held vertically straight - between the rows of houses you can lay out a Christmas tree garland and turn it on - the lights of the garland will illuminate the windows and highlight silhouettes.

Snowman for New Year

from paper.

You can make funny little SNEWS BALLS from white paper rounds. Decorate them with hats different styles, tie with colored satin ribbons(like scarves). Glue the paws and noses and use a black marker to draw a dotted smile and eyes.

This craft is suitable for children middle group in kindergarten. You just need help tying the ribbons.

You can make a snowman from three cardboard circles different sizes. Between the layers of rounds, place a three-dimensional spacer (a thick piece of cardboard, a paper folding spring, thick Velcro tape, etc.). So the snowman will be voluminous and puffy. We attach paper paws to the first bottom layer, put a scarf on the second round piece, and a nose, eyes, and hat on the top round piece. This New Year's paper craft is suitable for children. senior group kindergarten.

Here's a craft idea for little ones. We attach a white snowdrift to a sheet of blue cardboard at the bottom. We paste a piece of paper with a calendar print on it (it can be printed from the Internet and photocopied according to the number of children in the group).

All the children have to do is glue the round snowman's face and the round handles on top of the calendar sheet. Then cover your head with a hat, add eyes, a nose - draw a smile later with a marker. Decorate the blue background of the craft with paper snowflakes.

And from large sheets of paper (A2 format) you can make a beautiful craft for the window. This snowman can decorate the window frames in your child's nursery. And kindergarten workers can turn the group’s windows into a whole series of funny adventures of the snowman Vasya- here he is sweeping snowflakes with a broom, here he is performing an acrobatics act, here he is with the birds, here he is juggling snowballs, here he is sleeping under the Christmas tree. The poses are easy to form and change; all you have to do is turn the body, legs and head over - and now the snowman himself has turned around, somersaulted - oh yes Vasya!

And since we started making crafts for the New Year from white paper, let's continue. And let's see what else can be made from inexpensive landscape or office paper.

Craft - wreath for the NEW YEAR

(white paper + pizza box).

Here's a beautiful piece of work that your children can enjoy this New Year. From plain white paper and old cardboard box You can make a New Year's miracle. Wreath with white lace New Year's silhouettes. All details are cut out separately - and from the outside it seems that this is a single large openwork cutout made of paper.

How to make the basis for a New Year's wreath.

We take a large pizza box. Place the largest pan lid (or round dish) on it. We trace with a pencil. We get the contours of the outer ring. We put a smaller plate in the center, trace it with a pencil - we get the contours of the inner ring, that is, a hole. Cut it out.

Note - to get an even-sided ring for a wreath, you need to place a small plate (for the hole) exactly in the center - so that on the right and left and above and below the plate there is the same distance to the edge of the ring.

From ordinary white office paper we cut out the details-symbols of the New Year:

• 3 large snowflakes
• 8 Christmas tree silhouettes
• 4 house silhouettes
• 1 white ring (you can use 2 halves of a ring - from two sheets of paper)

This white ring will lie on top of our round dance of houses of Christmas trees and snowflakes. AND by inner diameter this white paper ring should match the inner circle of our cardboard wreath base(which we cut out of a pizza box).

The process of assembling a New Year's craft.

On our gray cardboard ring we glue all the Christmas trees, houses, snowflakes in a circle - in any order. We make a round dance of silhouettes - without bringing them too close to inner edge wreath (since there they will be covered too tightly with a white paper ring). The thickness of the ring should not greatly overlap the New Year's silhouettes made of paper - but only cover their lower part.

We glued the silhouettes in a round dance and then put a white paper ring on top of them - also with glue. It is better to work with a glue stick - it is drier and the cardboard does not warp from moisture and the paper does not wrinkle from dampness.

And here's a snowflake template to help you , which is perfect for this paper craft for the New Year. To reduce the size of the template, press and hold the ctrl button and at the same time roll the mouse wheel - towards you (or away from you) to change the size. Then place a sheet of paper on the monitor screen and trace the outline of a snowflake glowing through the paper.

And here are some more ideas for silhouette round appliques made from paper for DIY decorations for the New Year.

Cut out a ring from black cardboard. At the bottom we glue a semicircular white snowdrift. – we attach white silhouettes of Christmas trees to it. Using a hole punch in the shape of snowflakes or stars, we make a small scattering of stars and glue them onto the black ring. Using a cotton swab and white gouache, apply small white dots on a black background.

Or we cut out silhouette layers from white paper (a row of houses) and red paper (Santa Claus’s sleigh and horse). Stack the layers within a circular silhouette.

Carved crafts

made of paper for the New Year.

If paper slits are folded back from their cut places, we will get a 3D effect. paper crafts. Below we see a paper Christmas tree made using this technique. A sheet of paper was folded in half along the axial vertical line. And they made oblique cuts - 2 small ones at the top, then two larger ones below, two even larger ones, and so on. Then they unfolded the paper and folded each cut section downwards - it turned out to be a carved paper Christmas tree for the New Year (left photo below).

You can only make small CORNER cuts with a paper cutting knife - and bend these corners, getting the shape of triangular teeth.

Using the same technique, you can make three-dimensional In the same technique, you can make three-dimensional 3D crafts. This is how they are made New Year trees made of paper or white cardboard.

Take a flat triangular piece of cardboard and use a knife or blade to make it vertical cuts(without touching the edges of the triangle with scissors). And then we bend these cuts - one forward, another back, the third forward, the fourth back and so on - alternating. Before you start bending, you need to fold our triangle in half along the central vertical line - then all these bends will have an even central edge - both in front and behind.

If the cut lines are made not straight horizontal (as in the left photo), but wavy or oblique like on other Christmas trees with photos, then we will get interesting silhouette volumetric crafts Christmas trees made of paper.

You can also turn a flat paper piece into a voluminous convex Christmas tree (3D craft) in this way (as in the photo below).

We cut an ordinary flat round piece of cardboard in a spiral - (draw a snail on it, and make a cut along the line with scissors). And then we lift the middle of this snail up and create a spiral-spring in the shape of a herringbone.

To prevent the Christmas tree from folding back, it can be supplemented with a ROD - an axis holder, so to speak (as was done in the right photo below). There, a wooden stick on top holds the center of the spiral (on glue), and at the bottom the stick is based on a piece of plasticine or another pedestal.

And note that the edges of the Christmas tree in the photo to the right are curly (with a lace border). This is achieved if the spiral snail is drawn not with straight lines, but with wavy lines, and cut accordingly along these lines.

We also have a very large and detailed article on our website. There you will find a lot of ideas for creating paper Christmas trees for the New Year.

And in this article I will give an idea for a very simple Christmas tree made from paper disks. We cut paper circles - 2 pieces of each size. Fold each paper circle in half. We put halves of the same size into each other - with a corner in the shape of a house roof. It turns out 5 corners of different sizes. And from them we begin to collect our paper Christmas tree- first we glue the smallest TOP PAIR onto the sheet, then inside it - we put a little more, then even more and so on until we assemble a Christmas tree - a great idea for the New Year from paper white, which is always in abundance.

Crafts for the New Year

FROM STRIPES OF PAPER.

Here are a couple of ideas for you on how you can make original Christmas wreaths from paper cut into short strips with your own hands and with your children’s hands.

In the first master class, we cut green (double-sided in color) paper into strips 10 cm long. We fold each strip into a small bowl. Cut out a donut-shaped base ring from a pizza box. And onto this base we glue our pots of paper strips - we glue them with a jagged “comb” up (as shown in the photo below).

And here’s another idea for the New Year made from paper – also from strips and also in the form of a wreath craft. You can cut each strip on both sides into 2 cloves (like a flag). And just glue them onto the base ring for the wreath. We glue them - wrapping them around the ring and gluing the two sides of the flag together. We decorate the paper wreath with sparkles and fluffy balls,

You can roll up a SPRING from two long strips of paper - glue a bright light made of colored yellow and red paper to it - and you will get a candle.

Craft-POSTCARD

for the New Year made of paper.

For this Santa Claus clamshell craft you need two-way red paper - and a sheet of white or blue cardboard.

• We glue the red silhouette onto a rectangular sheet of paper so that its HANDS extend wide open beyond the edges of the blue cardboard sheet.
• Then all that remains is to glue on this red silhouette of Santa Claus a white silhouette of a beard, with a pom-pom, and in the middle of the beard, stick on a pink face detail.
• Use a black marker to draw eyes, buttons, pockets. Draw a nose with a red marker. And then draw a line onto which the children will glue a chain of flags.

So I drew the outlines of all the details of this New Year's paper craft. You can trace the outline of Santa's details by placing a piece of paper directly on your glowing computer monitor. To enlarge or reduce a picture– roll the mouse wheel while holding down the CTRL button on your keyboard.

You will find even more ideas for creating Santa Claus crafts from paper and more in our special article dedicated only to this character beloved by all children.

Paper accordion crafts

for the new year.

An ordinary paper fan, which children love to fold in hot weather, can warm you with the flame of warm ideas on cold New Year's days.

You can make a multi-tiered paper Christmas tree like this for the New Year. In it, each tier-floor is a long wide strip of paper folded into a small accordion. Each accordion is glued overlapping each other - starting from the bottom, and slowly moving to the top.

And if such a strip is twisted in a circle, we get the shape of a corrugated pancake. Different sizes of such corrugated rounds will give us a pyramid in the form of an elegant Christmas tree made of paper. For the New Year, you can place a real masterpiece made by yourself in the center of the table. Tiers of colored paper can be sprayed with hairspray and quickly sprinkled with fine nail glitter.

Such a Christmas tree made of paper will look elegant and beautiful if you use ordinary gift wrapping as the paper material - it will already have a beautiful colored pattern - for example, with cheerful polka dots, as in the photo below.

You can also use these round accordion fans to make beautiful New Year’s crafts in the shape of a snowman or a decorative paper snowflake pendant.

We make a round fan from music paper (before this, we artificially age the paper, yellow it with tea or grease it with a brush dipped in coffee, dry it, and smooth it with an iron). Using hot glue from a Klim gun, place a store-bought plastic snowflake in the center of the round fan. And from the old one New Year's cards cut out the round element of the picture and paste it in the center - you get a paper snowflake craft for the New Year.

Your round fan does not have to be in the shape of an EVEN CIRCLE. You can give the fan a patterned shape - jagged edges, openwork holes (as in the photo with the snowflake craft below).

Below I found a diagram that shows how to create such a patterned round fan in stages. Please note that the edge teeth are obtained from the fact that the fan, while still folded, is cut at an angle at one end.

The holes come from triangular slits in the side of the fan. And so that the fan itself can easily be assembled into a circle, we see a round hole punctured by a needle - from the opposite end of the fan - in this place all the blades are threaded through the needle and thread - and thanks to this, the fan is pulled together tightly in its center and fixes this tie with a knot of thread ends.

Of course you can get by and without thread and needle– fold a round fan from several coal fans. The photo diagram below shows how this is done with your own hands.

The shape of the fan teeth gives interesting shapes to these paper snowflakes. In the photo instructions below we see different variations of such paper crafts for the New Year. Each new pattern of cuts and cuts gives us a new interesting snowflake when unfolded.

Angels for the New Year

Made from paper and cardboard.

You can make an angel craft using the fan fold technique from white office paper. First, fold a round fan out of white paper (in the same way as above we folded it for a tiered Christmas tree - also with the center gathered on a thread). Then, on this fan circle, outline the outlines of an angel (head, wings, dress) and cut along the drawn line. You will get a paper angel craft for the New Year as in the photo below.

And for children at school you can make something like this simple crafts angels from a narrow paper cone. The wings are a semicircle with two cuts in the middle - the top of the cone is threaded through them (see photo below).

Then a face is glued to the top of the cone (a semicircle made of cardboard). Then we make the hair - we bend the rectangle of paper into two unequal parts - a short fold for the bangs, a long one for the back of the hair. We cut each part into a fringe.

You can make such a solid angel for the New Year from thick paper with a foil side or from shiny cardboard. For this craft, we make only one flat piece (as in the photo below). We make 2 cuts with scissors - then we bring the two sides of this workpiece back, join them and put the cuts on top of each other. The result is a voluminous New Year's craft Angel (as in the photo below).

And here is an angel made of paper - as a window sticker for the New Year. Below I give a diagram for cutting out such an angel for a window. You can translate a picture with a pencil directly from your laptop screen by placing a piece of paper directly on the monitor screen. If you want to enlarge or reduce the drawing diagram, you just need to roll the mouse wheel while holding down the Ctrl button on your keyboard.

If you have lace paper doilies, you can use this to make openwork paper such an elegant angel for the New Year. They can decorate a postcard, front door, or use it as a toy on christmas tree.

You will find even more ideas for crafts in the form of angels in our special article

Paper crafts for the New Year,

cut into strips.

And here is a packet of ideas for New Year crafts made from paper strips. From colored paper (colored on both sides) we cut out strips of the same width. And by gluing them together in a given fold position, we get shaped frames - in the form of a snowman’s hat, in the form of his body, the head of his arms. By connecting the strip frame parts with each other, we get a solid craft made of colored paper for the New Year.

For crafts made from thin frame parts, it is better to use strips of paper glued together (3-4 pieces each, or cardboard (two-color) - this way we will get a dense craft that will not deform under its own weight.

For the same technique (paper strips) as an ornamental material, you can use not only colored paper- but also any other. Ordinary strips of paper can be cut out from a magazine or gift wrapping - as was done in the example of the fake snowflake in the photo below.

After gluing the craft, the end edge of the flat cut can be dipped first in glue and then in nail glitter.

You don't have to be a quilling master to make an elegant one paper snowflake. It is enough just to cut strips of paper of the same length, then glue loops from them (they will also turn out to be the same size). And then fold these loops in a circle (gluing in the center) - and we get a round base for the snowflake (as in the photo below). We decorate the glued loops in the center with cardboard snowflakes (or store-bought plastic ones), then with round pieces and small paper fans.

You can come up with a different pattern using paper loops of different sizes and get new results. For example, you can hang this paper star as a Christmas tree decoration for the New Year.

New Year made of paper

for quilling.

In city stores you can find kits for children's creativity in the Quilling technique - these are bags with strips of colored paper - already cut evenly. You can use these strips to make any New Year's paper crafts. There are already ready-made Snowflake patterns using the quilling technique, with a ready-made number of stripes of the desired color.

Or you can simply buy multi-colored quilling kits (without being tied to a specific craft) and create your own fantasy works from them for the New Year. You can create entire small masterpieces from paper. Look at the photo below - nothing complicated or scary - all the shapes are simple (drops, circles, curved drops). A small Christmas picture inside a single ring.

By the way, the ring can be made from a wide round sleeve of adhesive tape. Using a knife (or better yet, a file), cut off a narrow ring from the tape sleeve. Paint it white gouache, spray it with hairspray (to set the color) or wrap it with glitter tape. And then, inside this closed form, create your New Year’s picture. So you will get a DIY Christmas tree pendant for the New Year from plain paper.

You can make THICK cast crafts from quilling material. This New Year's penguin is a large winding in the shape of a droplet.

A few drops different shapes create the image of an angel using the quilling technique.

Using the same principle, you can make a Santa Claus craft from twisted paper.

The youngest children, who are just beginning to master the basics of quilling techniques with their own hands, will be able to try their hand at a craft in the form of a simple placement of droplets. In a circle. In the image of a Christmas wreath.

Non-standard quilling technique

In crafts for the New Year.

Paper strips can be laid not in round rolls, but in puff layers. The Christmas flower craft with the photo below was made using this laying technique.

You can make a similar thing using a regular comb.

In the photo below we see a master class on this craft. The paper is twisted through the teeth of a regular flat comb (or a special quilling comb).

Using this technique you can make elegant round decorations for the New Year tree. Or create decor for a postcard. Decorate gift wrapping for the New Year with your own hands.

These are the ideas I have collected for you today in our article.

I am sure that you will find your New Year's craft from paper and the magic of your hands. May the holiday be joyful and successful for the accomplishment of good deeds and good desires.

Several options for a decorative paper Christmas tree

It’s impossible without a decorated Christmas tree for the New Year. Of course, the main character of the holiday is a large fluffy live spruce or pine tree in the center of the room, or an artificial beauty, dressed up with garlands and colorful toys. But you can also make small decorative Christmas trees with your own hands from paper and decorate with them for the New Year a table or shelf in the office or at home. Below are two master classes on creating such paper beauties.

For each of them we will need:

1. A sheet of thick paper for the cone.
2. Paper napkins of any color, you can combine several colors.
3. PVA glue or pencil.
4. Scissors.
5. Stapler.
6. Pencil or any wooden stick.
7. Christmas tree decor. Whatever you find at home: sequins, small beads, bells, ribbons, and so on.

Now let’s take a look at both options for Christmas trees in turn: paper napkins.

Option 1 – Christmas tree made of paper roses

• make a cone out of thick paper. Glue it together with glue or a stapler.
• Now we make roses from napkins. To do this, fold each napkin in half and then in half again, and secure it in the middle with a stapler.

• cut out a circle.

• We have a multi-layered circle and we need to take each subsequent layer on top and twist it tightly. We do this with all layers.

• When all the layers are twisted you need to straighten the rose a little. This is how we make all the flowers.
• We cover the cone with roses. It’s better to start from the bottom in a circle and work your way up.
