Original and sincere gifts for colleagues, children, friends and loved ones.
Remember what a typical New Year's gift looks like. At best, this is a set of candies in bright cardboard box, but more often than not - just another faceless souvenir for show. There is little joy from such gifts: the candies will be eaten, the souvenir will be put on a shelf and forgotten or even given away.
For a gift to truly delight, it must be a truly unusual thing - something that you cannot buy in the nearest store. If at the same time it is also inexpensive, it will be very good. Together with the Santa Claus store, Lifehacker chose 25 gifts that will be remembered for a long time.

Let's see what ways you can create unique New Year's crafts for a competition for school or kindergarten in the form of Santa Claus. I will also show you how to beautifully decorate gifts for the New Year with the symbol of Santa Claus. Let's start with gifts...
Santa Claus on a gift
How to do it yourself.
(simple options).
Here in the photo below we see an excellent New Year's decorations the most ordinary gift packages made of gray wrapping paper.
For the first idea you will need:
- a round shape made of white cardboard, a piece of red cardboard,
- red pompom (or regular cotton wool + PVA glue + red gouache)
- a piece of white foam packaging interlayer (which is often placed in boots in the store, or in boxes with equipment). Or (if you don’t have such material) you can take white cardboard and cover it with cotton pads.)
On a white round cardboard eye shadow or blush Draw spots on the cheeks and black beady eyes with a marker. In a bowl, stir red gouache and PVA glue (a couple of drops of paint per teaspoon of glue); dip a piece of cotton wool into this mixture. We form a ball from this sticky red cotton wool with our hands and dry it on a radiator (it will dry overnight).
Cut out a triangle-cap from red cardboard. We glue it to the edge of the white round piece (Santa Claus's forehead) - it is better to glue it dry, that is, use a glue stick or double-sided tape, since wet PVA glue will wet the cardboard and make it bend.
On top of the connecting line (between the hat and the head) we lay a “fur edging”, as I already said, it is better to cut it out of foam packaging material. Or cover the cardboard with cotton pads and cut out the edging of Santa Claus’s hat from such “cotton-shaggy paper”
But two more ideas craft pendants in the form of Santa Claus - already from just cardboard... and cardboard with paper cupcake tins.
Here are the large bags with large size Santa Claus.
You can even make a package yourself from a sheet of gift paper. The template here is very simple. You can make such a drawing yourself with a pencil, cut it out, bend it along the fold lines and you’re done. A beautiful box - glue the face and beard of Santa Claus to it and you're done. 
With your own hands, you can make PACKAGING POCKETS for gifts from cardboard (or from soft felt, or formative as in the photo below), decorated with Santa Claus applique on top.
Here is a diagram of such a pocket made of colored paper or cardboard. We bend along the lines, glue the sides and the container for sweets and chocolates is ready.
All that remains is to glue on top the head of Santa Claus with a beard and a hat. Simple and fast, no complexity. You will love making these quick pocket crafts with your own hands with Santa Claus, a snowman, angels and other New Year's characters.
Here is a pocket package made of soft felt or fleece, which is suitable for gifting a smart phone, or jewelry. It will be nice to receive such a gift, decorated manual labor and the imagination of the donor.
Santa Claus WITH CANDY
(just do it yourself).
Here's more new craft for this year. Santa Claus hides a candy in a bright wrapper in his tummy. A simple children's craft that you will quickly understand and can do with your own hands in one sitting.
As you can see (in the photo below) there is nothing complicated or tricky here. It’s just that the tummy and back of Santa Claus are a FULL DETAIL - in shape it looks like a FIG. which has a hole only in the upper turn of the digit.
This “figure eight” is bent in half - and we get a tummy with a hole in the center in the front and a closed back at the back. At the top we fix our halves with a drop of glue, or a stapler or tape. And all that remains is for our Santa Claus to glue on the head with a beard and the legs-stand.
Santa Claus do it yourself
Craft using the spider web technique.
There is an article on our website where I show in great detail how to make these balls with your own hands from glue threads and a small balloon. In this article “Balls of thread and a sea of crafts using the spider web technique,” I posted a master class. Therefore, I will not explain in detail here, so as not to waste unnecessary words. Follow the link, everything is explained there.
Just look at the photo below and fall in love with these cute ones New Year's characters made from thread balls. Simple and fast. In one evening we make balls, in the second evening we cover them with pieces of colored paper - and the craft is ready and worthy of going to a New Year's exhibition at school or kindergarten.
You don’t have to cover the balls with paper parts, but just put a cap like this on the top ball - where a face with a mustache and beard is already glued to the cone-hat.
In general, such cardboard caps (from the photo above) can be put on ordinary white inflatable balloons. And you’ll get a quick craft for the New Year in the form of Santa Claus. Such quick crafts comfortable . (By the way, the link contains a lot of quick ideas for crafts for decorating a New Year’s office).
DIY Santa Claus.
Balloon craft
using papier-mâché technique.
You can make such a pot-bellied, big-nosed, sweet and charming Santa Claus from the cheapest materials. PVA glue + white paper napkins + balloon IR + gouache for coloring.
What is the secret of the SIMPLICITY of this Santa Claus craft.
The papier-mâché technique is very simple. If you mix a paper napkin with PVA glue and mold something out of this mixture and dry it, we will get a dense, almost wooden, hard craft.
This principle of creating a durable material from fragile paper and liquid glue became the basis of the Papier-mâché technique.
Instead of white paper napkins, you can use regular NEWSPAPER. But then you will need to paint it on top with white paint (acrylic or gouache) before drawing Santa Claus on it.
What are we going to do?
Step 1 Let's buy a balloon with an elongated tail (that is, pear-shaped). Let's inflate it so that it retains its slightly elongated pear-shaped shape. Turn the ball upside down and insert it inside the vase (to make it easier to work with). You can even tape it a little to this vase so that it doesn’t jump out of it.
Step 2 Tear the white napkins into shreds (or leave them whole, whichever is more convenient for you). We coat part of the ball with PVA glue and place a white napkin on this puddle. On top of the napkin, again apply PVA glue with a wide brush and again place the napkin on this wet place. Thus, we glue the entire ball in several layers - generously pouring glue and generously laying down layers of napkin. Let it all dry (overnight).
Note – you can cover the ball with newspaper, dry it and paint it white. Or start the first layers from newspaper. And the last upper layers should be made from a white napkin, then there will be no need to paint it white.
Step 3. We crumple the napkins into large lumps - these will be tozhki. We also pour glue over it, and we also cover it with napkins, forming a wet crust of papier mache. We also leave it to dry.
Step 4. We take the ball out of the vase-pot on which it stood. We turn it with its tail up (we will cover this empty space that was in the vase with Santa Claus’s hat, it will not be visible. Using a marker on a dry round paper surface of the ball, we draw the silhouette borders of all the elements of Santa Claus - a face with a nose, a beard, a fur coat. We decorate this with gouache round decoration. Don't forget to glue the legs.
Note. For papier mache you need a lot of PVA glue. If you buy it in the stationery department (where the glue is in small tube jars) you will overpay 5 times the cost. Better and It’s cheaper to buy PVA glue in liter buckets in the construction departments of the store. For one liter of glue you will pay about 2 dollars. And such a bucket will be enough for you for a whole bunch of crafts. Any PVA glue labeled “universal” or “construction” will suit you. In composition, it is no different from ordinary school stationery PVA glue. The manufacturer can be any company. With this bucket you will not only make Santa Claus from papier-mâché, but also a snowman and a penguin (also based on a balloon). Details in other articles on this site.
By the way, based on a BALLOON you can make the most various crafts with Santa Claus. You can decorate a ball covered with newspaper with strips of colored fringe. We buy rolls of crepe colored paper from the stationery store. cut it into strips, cut them into fringe, paste the BALL IN A CIRCLE with fringed stripes. It turns out another version of the Santa Claus craft with your own hands - mischievous and shaggy.
Or you can decorate a balloon covered with newspaper with a FLEECE WRAP - the soft material will make a very cozy and warm craft. 
Making our own Santa Claus
from stones and natural materials.
Ordinary stones - small or large river cobblestones can become the basis on which a New Year's fairy tale will grow.
You can simply find oval stable stones (or make them stable using play dough). Cover the stones with white gouache (spray with hairspray to fix the color and prevent it from staining your hands). Then draw all the lines of the future Santa Claus on a white background. Decorate each drawn sector with gouache. And then once again draw clear black boundaries between the elements of the drawing - make outlines with a black marker. Markers work great on rocks. It is best to use a marker for signing CDs - it does not wash off and does not stain your hands.
You can depict any New Year's theme on suitable flat stones. Article-lesson on creating beautiful New Year's drawings is already on our website “Family Handful”.
And from several stones (also painted with gouache) you can put together a whole plot applique on a single background cut out of plywood.
We buy a small sheet of plywood at a hardware store (or find a suitable one in a pile of trash near the entrance). We cut a round piece out of it. We tint with ink the color of snow and the color of sky. And against this background we lay out Santa Claus, his sack, his reindeer, his sleigh... whatever.
Please note that the stones perform only one part of the element - the rest are painted with paints, laid out from twigs, ropes and other natural material.
It is not necessary to choose smooth round stones. The most uneven curved stones can work to your advantage. Lay them out, try them on next to each other and try to see the outlines of your future craft in this arrangement. Who knows what masterpiece your little “rock garden” will give birth to on a piece of paper.
You can also use shells as a natural material for crafts in the form of Santa Claus. It will turn out interesting and beautiful.
You can come up with your own New Year pictures from magic stones. Do not forget to spray the craft with hairspray - this will make it brighter and will not stain your hands with gouache or smudge. You can also sculpt some details of such a panel craft from plasticine (it can also be coated with hairspray)... or sculpt it from papier mache ( paper napkin mixed with PVA glue, see point above in this article).
Craft Santa Claus
Made from plasticine.
From ordinary plasticine (or from polymer clay) you can also make a beautiful Santa Claus. The main thing is to work slowly and remember to wash your hands when moving from one color of plasticine to another. There we will get pure colors of the parts and the whole craft will look neat.
After making the craft, you need to dry it in a cool place and spray it with hairspray. This is necessary so that it stops being sticky and does not collect room dust. You can cover the craft with acrylic matte varnish soft brush. Acrylic varnish for crafts is sold at office supply or craft stores.
Such varnished, non-sticky plasticine figures are also good because they can be used inside small Snow capsules. Where the foam snowball will fall. You can make capsules for plasticine Santa Claus with your own hands - from transparent plastic bottles. Cutting off the top and bottom of them and joining them together. Sprinkle nail glitter, sequins or foam balls inside or cut pillow fluff with scissors - the fluff will slowly settle, creating the illusion of snowfall.
Can be done flat crafts made from plasticine. Roll out colored plasticine with a rolling pin on the table. A wooden rolling pin is not suitable - it leaves rough marks on the plasticine. A round glass bottle or a can of any deodorant can be used as a smooth rolling pin.
Place a stencil image (details of Santa Claus or his clothes) on the rolled out layer of plasticine. We trace with a sharp object. Remove the stencil and cut with scissors along the scratched lines. We get planar parts from which you can put together a plasticine graphic applique. Or make something like this to decorate your kitchen in New Year’s style (as in the photo below).
You can get ideas for plasticine crafts in the form of Santa Claus from New Year's cakes decorated with mastic characters. From sweet confectionery mastic Santa Claus is often sculpted from different angles. Look through New Year's cakes on Google and you will find many ideas for plasticine New Year's heroes.
You can find even more New Year's plasticine ideas for children's crafts in the classroom and at home in a special article on our website
DIY Santa Claus
FROM CONES.
Pine and fir cones can also be painted with gouache (like the stones from the paragraph above). And when painted, the cone immediately becomes interesting basis for a New Year's craft in the form of Santa Claus. We insert beads and buttons, a fluffy dusting brush painted with white gouache becomes a fluffy beard. Cut out a hat from a piece of felt.
Also in the company of Santa Claus With your own hands (also from pine cones) you can make a deer (with antlers made of fluffy wire), a snowman, a penguin in a felt scarf, and a green Christmas tree pine cone, decorated with beads and flowers cut from lace.
Other bright crafts and toys made from pine and fir cones are collected in a large article with photographs
Volumetric Santa Claus
From modular origami.
If you know how to fold an Origami module. It doesn’t cost you anything to create such a pot-bellied Santa Claus. YouTube is full of videos that will teach you how to fold a triangular paper origami module in 2 minutes. For 2 pm make yourself a bunch of modules (the family will help), and on the third evening fold Santa Claus. Assembly takes place without glue. Each module fits into each other - like a groove into a groove.
Green Christmas tree also consists of modular origami. And you can make a snowman and a deer, if you think about it with your head...
DIY Santa Claus
FROM PAPER CONES.
We all know how to make paper cones - like bags for seeds. We need a semicircle - which we roll into a bag and glue the side seam of the bag with glue (or not with glue, but with a stapler).
Or you can provide paper latches on the bag - slits and ears that fit into each other. On the template below we see that on the left we have an incision (short dotted line), and on the right there is a protruding eye (along the edge of the hem of the fur coat). We cut out such a template (diagram below), paint it and connect it into a bag - inserting the eyelet into the cut (or you can simply fix everything with glue without any ears).
Santa Claus is easy and quick to make based on a regular cone. Below I give large diagrams for large figures. The actual size of the diagram corresponds to A3 format - it’s like two landscape pages. You won't be able to print it on a printer - you need to go to the printing center. But the craft will be large and nice in size.
Here is another large template for making Santa Claus out of paper - it is also in A3 format - print in the center of the printout.
But this template is smaller - if you want, you can also enlarge it to a large size. Each craft is beautiful - you must agree. You can just imagine how Grandfather Frost stands proudly on the windowsill and pleases the eye. Great craft - elegant and simple.
Children's craft Santa Claus
From toilet paper rolls.
Cardboard rolls are great for children's crafts. In the photo below we see how you can play up the image of Santa Claus based on this “toilet roll” form.
Elements can be made from paper, felt, cotton wool, formiam, fabric or knitted socks.
Santa Claus and dishes
(pots, cups, plates).
And in this section of the article I want to show you how to make it yourself original craft from non-standard material.
You can make Santa Claus from flower pots. We will make a beard for this grandfather from gypsum plaster. You can buy it at a hardware store gypsum plaster(it’s cheap in small packaging, you can buy half a kilo). We dilute the gypsum mixture with water to a thick porridge. And quickly, before it thickens and dries, we sculpt a beard for Santa Claus. Pots can also be coated with plaster porridge, in those places where we depict fluffy fur or snow. If sprinkled on top glitter(nail polish) it will turn out that snowy places sparkle in the sun.
Or here are New Year's crafts from disposable colored cups. Here the cups are placed in a circle on the floor (glue the round dance together using hot glue from a gun). Then on a round dance we make a second tier-floor, then a third - they themselves will be rounded into a spherical shape (because the cups at the bottom are narrower than at the edge). We make one ball for the belly and one ball for the head of Santa Claus. We make mittens, a belt, eyes, a mustache, and a hat from paper and fabric.
And we begin to make a green Christmas tree from cups according to the principle of a round dance. But we put a paper cone inside it. And we also attach the cups along the upper floors to the walls of this paper cone.
From the remaining red cups and toilet paper rolls you can make cute Frosties with a cotton wool beard.
And disposable flat plates can become a source of such children's crafts. Place beige paper on the bottom of the plate (this will be the background of the face). Without a beige or pink background (just on a pale plate) it will not be beautiful.
Craft Santa Claus
Made from felt and formiam.
Now a new ornamental material has appeared on sale - formiam. This is a baby modern technologies very suitable for making voluminous, plump crafts that are well attached to each other with hot glue. In the photo below you see a Santa Claus craft made from formim (a porous thick material).
But crafts made from felt will still be more durable. And warmer to the touch. More dear, closer.
You can make Santa Claus appliques from felt on a round piece of paper - you will get a toy pendant for the Christmas tree.
Please note how in the photo below the fastening of the applique parts is done - with sparse stitches, parts are tacked here and there (the beard and mustache are held on by 4-5 stitches).
If you make a HOOP from cardboard, wrap it in fabric and decorate the front with a figure of Santa Claus, then we will get a headdress for the New Year. It can be worn for children's holiday dinners, or worn directly over a hat on the street - delighting passersby with its New Year's look.
In addition to hard felt, you can use SOFT FLEECE. This is the material from which sweatshirts and bikers are made. It is suitable for sewing soft toys in the form of Santa Claus or plump pillows (as in the photo below).
But Santa Claus, where FELT (wool for felting) is present, is in the left photo below. And also a figurine of Santa Claus made from a ball of red thread and a piece of white centipon and a felt cap. The face can be made from a tennis ball, tinted beige.
Knitted Santa Claus.
You can also knit a New Year's Santa Claus from threads with crochet or knitting needles. Below, for inspiration, I have posted several photo samples of such DIY crafts.
You can simply crochet a flat figure. Use it as an applique for a craft, or as a toy pendant for the Christmas tree.
You can make a beard from chopped bundles of thread (fluffy like a real one) or simply tie it with a wedge (like a knitting sprout).
And here is an example of Santa Claus knitted with his own hands. Choose your favorite knitting method and start making a real surprise for the whole family with your own hands. Such New Year's toy will accompany your holiday every year, like a tradition, like a family heirloom, made by your mother’s beloved hands.
Here are some ideas on the theme of Santa Claus with your own hands - from everything - from paper to knitting. Now you will definitely make yourself a magical Santa Claus who will fulfill your wishes this year. Because you deserve it. Because you are good.

If you like our site, you can support the enthusiasm of those who work for you.
Happy New Year to the author of this article, Olga Klishevskaya.
New Year- the only holiday on which we expect the fulfillment of our most cherished desires. Everyone, adults and children, before December 31st, thinks about what they would like to receive as a gift. And some even write letters to Santa Claus. But sometimes you don’t know what you can ask for for the New Year, since all the wishes seem important. In general, ordering gifts is not interesting; it is better to receive a surprise. But in some cases, it is more practical to choose a specific item so that the chance does not go to waste.
Is it possible to order gifts and what kind?
Recently, it has become fashionable to order gifts. Many people make lists in advance and don’t hesitate to give them to friends and acquaintances. Of course, when we were children, we wrote letters to Santa Claus and asked him to bring a doll or a radio-controlled car. With age, apparently, the habit remained. Only it has acquired a more practical character.
Of course, you can order gifts, but everyone has different options. So remember:
- That on this holiday people buy souvenirs not only for you, but also for others. This means you will have to spend a lot of money;
- It follows that the souvenir should be average in cost. Still, this is not a wedding or a birthday;
- It’s better to let it be a surprise, give the person the opportunity to choose. This way it will be more interesting for you and more convenient for him.
Of course, everything is individual. And, for example, relatives can give more expensive things, and friends can give simple souvenirs. With some requests it is generally inconvenient to go to your parents, with others to your husband or wife. We will look at different options.
What to ask your husband for the New Year?
IN in this case We will talk about spouses and what is normal to ask your husband for a gift:
- This winter holiday when, if not now, will you need a new fur coat or vest;
- Perfume is never superfluous; if there is little left in the old bottle, hint to your spouse that it’s time to buy one. Just be careful, men don’t know much about women’s perfumes. You either give him a clear hint about a specific brand, or let him smell yours and let him find similar ones;
- Of course, this is a reason to get the long-awaited gadget. If a new model of smartphone or tablet was not yet on sale for your birthday, now it could appear;
- In winter there is a lack of sun and warmth, so I want to go to hot countries. The reason for this is more than suitable. There are almost 10 days of weekend ahead, it’s cold outside - it’s time to get a dose of vitamins by the sea.
The family has a shared budget and you know well what gifts your spouse will be able to handle. If he is not able to buy a new fur coat, make do with cheaper options: gloves, a wallet or something else. The main thing is that there is peace and tranquility in the family.
What can men count on?
In the morning, everyone expects surprises under the Christmas tree, and men are no exception. What can they ask for themselves from Santa Claus? Again, it depends on the capabilities of the giver:
- Accessories for the car: seat covers, vacuum cleaner, high-quality fragrance, cigarette lighter charger;
- Or additions to gadgets: case, stand, protective glass;
- Items for your own pleasure and relaxation: massage mat for feet, USB stand for heating drinks, computer speakers;
- You can solve the problem of socks for the whole year; today they sell special sets containing 365 pairs. Order yourself one and forget about them for a long time;
- Also this extra reason get an extra shirt, towel, robe or bath cap;
- Sometimes you don't need anything. There are already a lot of key rings lying around the house, a closet full of shirts and something to shave with, and the women you love attack with questions about gifts. Then tell them to cook something original.
Or do it simply, say that you want an inexpensive, simple, but surprise. To look under the tree the next morning, take a long time to unwrap it and then be very surprised.
What should a teenager ask for New Year's?
Young people are not yet very wealthy in terms of money, and they can count on their parents to buy them the necessary thing for the holiday. But you need to be moderate in your requests, otherwise you may be disappointed:
- This could be a smartphone that you have long wanted or another device;
- Perhaps something cheaper: touch gloves or a selfie monopod;
- If you have a hobby, order something you need for it. Usually parents quickly agree to buy useful things necessary for development and self-improvement;
- Or choose a certificate for courses in drawing, clay modeling - according to your interests;
- People who are passionate about music can book a ticket to a concert of their favorite band;
- Parents will not refuse a girl a set of jewelry or a handbag;
- Requests for sports equipment are well received: skates, rollers, snowboards;
- An e-book is a great option.
Don't choose unnecessary expensive trinkets. If there is an opportunity, use it to your advantage. And the chances of getting a book or skates are greater than a game console, since the thing must be practical and useful in the understanding of parents.
What to ask your friends?
Don't give long lists to your friends. In this case, you just need to check in and show your attention. If asked, offer something simple:
- A cup or a set of teaspoons, saucers;
- Bed linen, a good cloth tablecloth or bedspread;
- Towel;
- Cosmetics, shampoo, shower gel;
- Symbol of the coming year in any form;
- Champagne to New Year's table or a friend’s signature salad;
- A set of handkerchiefs or napkins for the kitchen.
Say that you welcome any attention. Good company and a reliable shoulder are important to you, but the souvenir is small enough that you can do without it altogether.
What gift should I ask for for the New Year?
Now it is fashionable to give emotions, that is, to organize some trips and events. This is a very good option, as the impressions will remain forever. Therefore you can choose:
- Flight in a wind tunnel or parachute jump;
- Participation in the quest;
- Tickets to a movie, theater or exhibition;
- Dog sledding, snowmobiling and ATV riding;
- Certificate for a massage parlor or spa treatment;
- Participation in master classes on extreme driving, pottery, trampolining, roll making;
- Certificate for visiting the water park and tea ceremony.
The choice in this area is huge. The New Year is a really good chance to make your old dream come true: ride a snowmobile or learn how to sculpt with clay. In addition, you can invite your friends with you.
So, you wanted to know what you can ask for for the New Year. Any wish can come true on this holiday. But still, a surprise is always more interesting, it adds even more magic to the night.

Do you know that Santa Claus celebrates his birthday on November 18? It is on this day that severe frosts most often begin in Veliky Ustyug. This means that there is one more reason to congratulate Santa Claus!
What to give to Santa Claus?

- Something made with your own hands: a drawing, a craft, Christmas tree toy, a candle. Creating gifts for Santa Claus himself is pleasant and unusual.

Childhood is a time for everything extraordinary, educational and magical. It is in winter that we can immerse our children in a richer world of magic. After all, winter is the time when children expect miracles at every step and when you look into those sweet, sparkling eyes, you understand that everything you're doing the right thing. It is these eyes that push us to create a miracle, a tiny one, but a childish MIRACLE. in their group, to create this little miracle, namely the appearance of Grandfather soon Frost, which the children are looking forward to, I came up with the following points. Well, firstly, this is, of course, "Mail Santa Claus"- the children came up with great pleasure and quietly talked about their most cherished dream, which I wrote down on a piece of paper, then sealed the envelope and threw it in the box. After that we began to sing songs, teach and recite poems for Grandfather Frost. We looked at the morning sky to see how close Grandfather is to us Freezing, the kids said that the brightest star in the sky is the Approaching Grandfather Freezing, now every morning we look out the window and the children determine that Grandfather has become closer to us Freezing in your sleigh or not. Moreover, the children were asked give a gift to Santa Claus to please him too. "After all, he is something for us lucky gifts, and we should thank him for that. " - said the children. That's it present We would like to present to you what we have achieved?
This is a big carpet. It can be hung on the wall, or placed on the table for decoration, instead of a tablecloth. When will Grandfather come to see us for the New Year? Freezing, we are this carpet let's give it to him, we think that Santa Claus will like our gift, what do you think?
