DIY Christmas tree decorations master class
Nowadays, you can easily buy Christmas tree decorations, but sometimes you just want to decorate your home with something unique, beautiful, and special. If you have a desire to create, try making a few toys yourself.
Multi-colored paper balls look stylish and modern on the Christmas tree. As a rule, they are made from colored paper, but let’s leave this material for the children in kindergarten, and use a spectacular scheme for making balls from colorful greeting cards or calendars.
What you will need:
- postcards;
- stationery scissors;
- glue;
- cup.
Let's start our master class:
- Using a glass, we make a mark on the cards and cut out eight identical circles.
- Fold each circle in half, then fold the semicircle in half again.
- Cut out one smaller circle and glue the folded circles to it.
- Then we turn the workpiece over and glue the remaining four folded circles on the other side.
- When the glue dries, unfold each circle and connect the walls to the adjacent circles. Use a hot gun or stapler.
- Attach a ribbon to one side to make it easy to secure the ball to the tree.
- The ball can be left as is, or decorated with acrylic paints, multi-colored glitters, and rhinestones.
You can make different balls from postcards using blanks different forms- triangles, semicircles, cones.
A great idea for homemade Christmas tree decorations is multi-colored designs made from wine corks. For work you may need:
- paints;
- ribbons;
- beads;
- wire;
- threads;
- superglue;
- special New Year's decor(miniature twigs, snowflakes, berries in the snow, etc.).
For example, you can make a silhouette of a Christmas tree from cork:
- Using a sharp knife, divide each cork into three equal parts. We prepare 18 blanks for work.
- Now on a flat surface we lay out 6 corks in the form of Christmas trees and glue them together. You will get 3 Christmas trees.
- While the trees are drying, cut three pieces of twine or ribbon, each 40 cm long. We make a loop in the middle.
- We apply the knot to the top of the tree, and wrap the edges around the perimeter. We attach the twine with glue.
- We tie the ends together and further strengthen them with a drop of glue.
- We form the remaining two trees in the same way.
- Additionally, the plugs on the Christmas trees can be decorated with rhinestones, confetti, sparkles, and painted.
Do you want to decorate your Christmas tree in unusual snowflakes?! Then go to the store for pasta! Choose rings, shells, spirals and others unusual shapes. Additionally, get hot glue and spray paint.
So let's get started:
- Grab a handful of shells and wheels. It is advisable to choose products of the same size.
- Come up with a snowflake template or use ready-made patterns.
- Place in in the necessary order pasta and use hot glue to glue them together.
- Spray the snowflakes with spray paint and let dry.
- Tie ribbon loops to the snowflakes.
- If you want to make snowflakes more attractive, cover them with a thin layer of PVA and sprinkle with glitter.
- By the way, it is not necessary to make snowflakes white. For example, you can add gold and get bright and mysterious snowflakes...
- ...or change direction and make a quirky creation out of navy shells and farfalle.
DIY Christmas tree decorations made of cotton wool, with photos step by step
Cotton wool makes cute and budget-friendly Christmas tree crafts.
Let's make a cute Snow Maiden from cotton wool.
You will need:
- a lot of cotton wool;
- varied decor;
- glue;
- newspapers;
- textile paints;
- wire.
How to make a toy:
- Divide the roll of medical cotton into several fragments. Then color them using textile paints. This is easy to do: pour water into a fireproof container, add dye, add cotton wool and bring to a boil. Let stand for 15 minutes, remove the cotton wool from the water and squeeze it out.
- The next stage is preparing the paste. Bring 200 ml of water to a boil, dissolve 2 tbsp in it. l. starch. Instead of paste, you can also use PVA.
- If you want to make the Snow Maiden realistic, you will have to knead salt dough to make a face out of him. Combine two parts flour, part salt, and a little water. Form a face from the dough and dry it in the oven at 120⁰C. When the face has cooled, paint on the elements - eyes, nose, eyelashes. Attach it to the frame using hot glue.
- Take a piece of wire and make a frame out of it that resembles a human body. Soak the cotton balls in the paste and wrap them around the parts of the workpiece that will be your future arms and legs. Then tear a piece of newspaper into pieces, moisten it with paste and wrap it around the “body”, modeling the silhouette of the Snow Maiden.
- At the end, apply another layer of cotton wool with paste, from which you form clothes, a braid and a hat for the Snow Maiden. At this stage, make sure your fingers are clean, as your beauty’s outfit can easily get dirty.
A cute little lamb will complement the look of your holiday tree.
For creativity you need to prepare:
- roll of cotton wool;
- toothpicks;
- paste;
- cotton pads;
- empty chicken egg;
- syringe.
Master class:
- Make a paste from a glass of water and 2 tbsp. l. starch.
- Pierce the washed egg with a syringe needle on one side and carefully remove its contents. Rinse the inside of the shell twice with water using the same syringe to prevent a rotten smell.
- Divide the cotton wool into parts. Separately, prepare 15-20 cotton wool balls with a diameter of up to 2 cm.
- Place the balls on toothpicks, moisten with paste and let dry.
- Make two punctures on the side of the egg with a needle and insert the thread. The distance between the holes should be 2 cm.
- Spread half the shell with paste and stick cotton wool on it. Do the same steps on the other side of the egg. You will get a ball of cotton wool with two threads.
- While the cotton ball is drying, roll the pieces of cotton into four cones - these will be the legs. Paint them with black acrylic paint.
- Make an oval 4-5 cm long from black cardboard. And also two smaller ovals - these are the ears. Immediately glue them to the sheep's head.
- From cotton pads cut out the eyes and attach them to the head.
- Glue the head and legs to the body using PVA. Glue it at the end cotton balls- this will be the wool of the New Year's lamb.

Note: Poems of my own composition.
In every kindergarten group there are toys that are no longer suitable for use. These are balls, car wheels, plastic geometric shapes, pens, finished ballpoint pen pastes, damaged bills, counting sticks, pen caps and much more. Don't rush to throw them away. Collect them in a separate box. When the holidays approach, I always use this box of mine for crafts. When the Christmas holidays are approaching, it’s time to think about the tree and toys. That’s when happy times begin for my hidden trinkets. Their time comes, their turn to delight children and guests. Their second life begins.
You ask us: -Why?
Do you need old junk?
"The economy should be economical" -
We will answer you together.
Lived in a small box
Handles, wheel, laces,
Skittles, ball, cap,
Burlap, spider,
Cubes, toys, cup-
Old junk we don't need.
What happened to them one day
We will tell you now.
Our hand began to cry:-
There is no benefit, where is the use?
They were going to calm down
All the toys, as best they could.
-Don’t be sad, don’t cry, little hand, -
The wheel tells her.
- Let's all come to life, you'll see,
Christmas is coming.
He'll get us all out of the box
The one that hid here.
Will turn us all into toys
New Year's, that's when...
Let's sparkle, let's shine,
let's smile at everyone...
That they didn't abandon me
I'm not crying, I'm very happy.
I'm glad for those who are so skillful
They give us a second life.
Be a New Year's toy
Believe me, you will like it too.
When I read this poem before work, children get to work with extraordinary ease and everyone is proud that they have given a second life to their old toy or trinket. And I really want everything junk toys in the kindergarten they received their second life not only on the Christmas holidays, but also on the autumn, spring, and summer holidays.
All groups have bowling pins with balls. Since they are made of lightweight plastic, they quickly deteriorate, crack, dent, the round head falls off, and as a rule, we throw them away. My children and I give them a second life. they turn into New Year's toys in our hands. Balls and cones have always been considered the main toys after the star. They can be big or small, from different materials, simple and with addition various elements, because there is no limit to the imagination. In this master class, I propose to make two toys from skittles: round and oval, and a gift toy from a plastic cube.
To do this you need:
-skittles, cube,
-fabric (you can use any fabric, mostly, since I like to sew, I use scrap pieces;
-satin ribbons and unnecessary gift bows and ribbons different colors(at discretion);
- cotton pads;
-buttons of different colors and shapes;
-various flowers from damaged hairpins, bobby pins or beads, scales (optional);
- pen caps;
- colored foil paper;
-scissors, glue, ruler, needle and thread, pins.
Safety precautions when working with scissors, needles, pins:
- the scissors must be adjusted, be careful when using them, place them close to your right.
- so that the needles are not bent or rusty, do not leave them on the table, do not put them in your mouth, do not stick them into clothes, or stick them into pin cushions after work.
Work progress:
We take the damaged skittles, separate the round part from the main part and get two shapes
Take a piece of fabric and cut it into a square (the dimensions depend on the size of the ball)
Place the cut circle on the fabric
Wrap it in fabric, making small folds
First we tie it with a simple thread,
We take the pen heads and ribbon and start decorating
We cut the ribbon into 4 segments - 2 x 6 cm and 2 x 9 cm (depending on the size of the heads) and baste with a needle
Then we tighten the basted thread and make a spiral
We thread these spirals onto the caps from the handles and get small Christmas trees
we make caps for these Christmas trees and sew these Christmas trees to the toy
take a satin ribbon (color and width at your discretion) and make a bow
we tie the toy with this bow
We cut the ends of the ribbon into thin threads (the height of the cut is at your discretion), take damaged hairpins, bobby pins with flowers, choose the most suitable one (also at your discretion) and sew it to the toy
Our first toy is ready.
To make the next toy from the oval part, you will need skittles
Take the skittles and use a pin to fix the center of the form tying with a ribbon (the color of the ribbon is arbitrary)
we wrap it like a cocoon with a ribbon, fixing the ribbon to the form with pins. The rounded ends of the pins do not spoil, but give the product the appearance of a cone after wrapping (you can glue it if desired)
When we reach the end, we turn the ribbon 90 degrees and fix it so that we can make a pendant
bend the ribbon, make a pendant and cut out the rest of the ribbon
then we begin to wrap the bottom part. When we finish tying, we sew on the lower part, and so that the sewing is not visible from below, we glue a cotton pad to imitate snow
Let's start designing the toy. Take cotton pads and cut out three different sized circles
From these circles we make a snowman and fix it (or glue it, at your discretion)
From colored paper, or scales, or from beads (optional), we make eyes, a nose, and buttons for the snowman
Take a toothpick and the remains from the cut cotton pad
We make a broom for a snowman and a snow meadow out of them
We take different buttons, a twig from an old Christmas tree, pieces of a cotton pad from a cut out snowman
Sew a star button next to the snowman
Sew a Christmas tree branch under the star.
We take buttons, string rain on them (I used ribbon for gifts, since it can be twisted)
We decorate our little Christmas tree with these buttons, make a hat for the snowman and snow under the Christmas tree
Our second toy is ready.
To make the third toy we take the following:
Take colored foil, purple (optional), put the cube on it and wrap the cube
Since we have waste material - foil does not correspond to the size of the cube and, accordingly, there was not enough.
But this is even better. you can dream up
Let's take it colored paper golden foil, cut into squares (dimensions depend on the size of the square)
draw the shape of a cube in the center of the paper and draw a diagonal line from the corners of the cube to the corners of the paper and cut it out
Place the cube in the middle with the unwrapped part facing down towards the paper and begin gluing the foil to the cube.
The result is a shiny two-color cube
We cut out small cubes from cut out pieces of golden foil and make snowflakes from them.
Tie a bow with a shiny ribbon (choose the color at your discretion)
Glue a white snowflake cut from a cotton pad onto the bottom of the cube.
