Felt crafts

Felt is a very practical and convenient material for creativity. Felt toys are not only colorful and pleasant to the touch: due to the fact that the pattern pieces can not only be sewn, but also glued to each other using hot glue or an adhesive stick, the creation is also suitable for children.

In order to make a felt Santa Claus with your own hands, you will need:

• red felt:
• flesh-colored felt;

• Print or redraw the product pattern on paper, cut out the details.
• Bend the red felt in half, use a pencil to transfer the largest part of the pattern (in the form of a drop) onto it and cut it out. Sew both parts of the part together, leaving a centimeter section unstitched. Through the resulting hole, fill the product with padding polyester or cotton wool (for convenience, you can use a pencil), and then sew up the hole.

Bottle decoration

It's no secret that the most universal New Year's gift for people not in a close social circle is champagne (or other alcohol) and chocolate (or candy). The original Santa Claus, hand-sewn from colorful materials, will make the gift unique and memorable.

Making crafts from bottles is also suitable for junior groups kindergarten: to do this, just fill transparent bottles with red paper, glue a cotton wool beard and plastic eyes on top and complete the image of the main New Year's wizard with a red sock or paper cap, imitating the character's hat.

Crafts made from cotton pads

Cotton pads and cotton wool are the easiest materials to use in kindergarten. Children can glue cotton pads (or balls) onto templates prepared in advance by adults or make a craft entirely with their own hands, first painting it and then decorating it with cotton wool parts. These can be snowflakes cut out with a figured hole punch, the cotton beard of Santa Claus, as well as details of his costume.

Identical templates decorated with details from cotton pads and cotton wool, in accordance with the tastes and skills of each child, will become wonderful and unique gifts that children can take home and give to their loved ones.

For creativity in older groups of kindergarten, more painstaking and complex work is suitable - creating crafts from cotton swabs. Sticks attached with glue will be a good building material for creating fabulous winter landscapes.

Santa Claus made of plasticine

For children in older groups of kindergarten, as well as for younger schoolchildren, modeling from plasticine will be easy. Depending on the child’s skills, you can choose step by step instructions products of varying degrees of complexity: from the simplest to figurines with a large number small details.

Santa Claus made of plasticine will become the main character of fabulous winter scenes and New Year's stories.

Figures made of threads

Creation of a fairy-tale character from wool threads- a labor-intensive process that requires not so much special handicraft skills as it takes a lot of time with painstaking work. However, the resulting figurines have a very “homey” look, evoking a feeling of coziness and warmth.

Santa Claus made of paper

Paper crafts are extremely diverse not only in type, but also in the types of techniques used in the process of their creation. Paper of only two colors (green and red), rolled and fixed in the form of cones and complemented by small details (a face with a beard, Christmas balls) will become the basis for creating a beautiful

New Year- this is a magical and fabulous time, the onset of which children and adults look forward to. It is customary to decorate your homes beautifully for the holiday, and this can be done using not only toys purchased in the store. You can make a variety of very beautiful crafts with your own hands, for example, a decorative winter house.

Snowy hut of Santa Claus

The decor from natural material. Try making a snowy hut. Collect in advance a sufficient number of medium-thick branches, rinse them well and dry. Prepare the base - glue the walls of the house together from cardboard or use a box of a suitable size. Windows and doors can be cut through or made using the appliqué technique. Cover the prepared frame with branches, vertically or horizontally, cutting to the appropriate length. Make a separate roof from two identical rectangles or one bent in the middle. Move on to the decor: the winter house should be completely snow-covered or at least covered with frost. Use white paint, foam shavings, cotton wool or glitter for this. If you don't have twigs on hand, you can replace them with popsicle sticks or

New Year's house made from waste material

You might be surprised, but actually do interesting crafts it can be made from the most banal materials that can be found in any home today. Empty plastic bottles and food trays, cardboard food boxes - we throw away all this every day. A beautiful craft "Winter" can be made from just such waste material. Take as a basis cardboard box from milk or kefir, the bottom of a plastic bottle or a small square container will also work. Interesting idea- use bushings from toilet paper or wallpaper tubes. If necessary, cut the selected workpiece, then cover it with white paper or paint it with paint. When the facade of the future “building” is dry, you can make a roof, windows and a door. Your winter house will turn out more interesting if you combine several design techniques and use different materials for decoration.

How to make snowdrifts?

We figured out how to make winter houses with our own hands, now it’s worth talking about the decoration and decor of the craft. Souvenirs that are “swept” or covered with snow on the sides look interesting. How to make such snow caps at home? This is easier than you might think at first glance: pour PVA glue into some container and soak a thin layer of cotton wool in it. Squeeze out the excess and spread a piece of the mixture onto the base, pressing gently. In this way, you can decorate the entire roof, the stand on which the house stands, or form real snowdrifts near the walls and porch. Using a similar technique, you can try to create from dense white paper napkins. "house" can be snow-covered in another way. Coat the base with transparent glue and sprinkle generously with sugar, salt or semolina. After creating a snow cover, leave the craft to dry for at least 4 hours, or even better, overnight.

Important composition details

A snow-covered decorative house will look more impressive if you place it on a stand and decorate it with decorative elements. As a base, you can use a piece of cardboard or a lid from a cardboard box with sides. The finished winter house must be glued to the stand, after which we begin to create the surrounding landscape. Make a snow cover using one of the techniques described above. The composition can be supplemented Christmas tree or a snow-covered tree. You can also make a beautiful veranda, stairs, benches, maybe even a sled or skis. Any decorative elements can be cut out of cardboard and painted as you wish. A snow house with a yard can be complemented with figurines of snowmen and fairy-tale characters. Try making figures from cotton wool, fabric and cardboard. If you have enough free time and patience, you can even build an entire winter town and populate it with magical characters.

Souvenir or useful item?

Minimalism is all the rage these days, and many people are careful not to buy too many beautiful decorative items that don't serve any practical purpose. Can the “Winter House” craft be not only beautiful and decorative, but also useful? Why not? Take the time to make the roof removable and beautifully decorate the inside of the base box - and you will have an unusual box or even a small hiding place. An interesting idea is to decorate a tea house in New Year's style. This craft is easy to make from a liter package of kefir, milk or juice. All you need is to wash the workpiece well and dry it, and then decorate it to your liking. It’s not at all difficult to make such a winter tea house with your own hands. The craft is designed for storing tea in bags and is a worthy alternative to factory-made boxes. Such a house should have a removable roof, and a window should be cut and beautifully decorated at the bottom. Accordingly, the bags can be loaded through the top, and conveniently taken out through the bottom if necessary.

How to make a candlestick in the shape of Santa Claus's house?

IN new year holidays It is customary to decorate your home with garlands, candles and light figures. If desired, it is not difficult to make the New Year's house glow. The simplest option is to place part of the garland inside the craft and think about connecting to the network. You can also use an electric candle or any other battery-powered luminous element. You can also make a full-fledged candlestick. However, if you have a winter house made of cardboard, you should pay attention to fire safety. Use the smallest “tea” candles; in a figure made of flammable material, they can only be placed in heat-resistant glass cups. It makes sense to make a candlestick based on the size of the candle and its stand. The souvenir figurine itself should be larger in size and not heat up.

Cat's house

With your own hands you can make not only small decorative objects, but also quite useful things. You may be surprised, but the DIY “Winter House of Santa Claus” craft can be made as a real home for our little brothers. For example, you can decorate an outdoor bird feeder in a New Year's style. Of course, you will have to refuse to decorate with paper and other materials that are afraid of water. But you can always use waterproof paints for painting or make an unusually shaped bird feeder.

An interesting idea is to make a winter house for a cat. Many animals living outside need warm and dry shelter in cold weather. can be made from various materials - wooden beams, waste boards, chipboard and plywood.

Using a ruler and a pencil, draw four sides for the house on the cardboard. You can choose your own size (according to the height of the toy Santa Claus). Make two sides at once with triangles under the roof. Mark the space for windows and doors. Cut out the pieces.

By the way, you can hang it or place it near such a house - it will look very beautiful.

When the details of the New Year's house for Santa Claus made of cardboard are prepared, start gluing them together. Since we are working with cardboard, ordinary PVA or silicate glue is quite suitable for making the product. Try to glue the parts as carefully as possible so that appearance the crafts were attractive.

The sides of the house are ready, you can make a roof for Santa Claus's New Year's house with your own hands. It is also made from cardboard.

We paint the sides of the house blue or light blue. Of course, if you wish, you can choose another shade that you like best.

Remove the top paper layer from a small piece of cardboard to create a corrugated side. We will need it to decorate the corners of the craft. Its length is equal to the height of the house.

We bend the corrugated strip white. This will create a contrast with the main color of the walls of the house.

We decorate the corners of the house with corrugated stripes.

We connect the roof to the sides of the house and paint it orange.
