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 start 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 is laid out like a 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. We 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 they can be laid out Christmas 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 of different styles, tie them 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 of 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.

You can also make from large sheets of paper (A2 format) beautiful craft on 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).

That's what it is beautiful work can make your children happy 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 paper cutout.

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 the inner edge of the wreath (since there they will be covered too much by the 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. Cotton swab and with white gouache we 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 we bend the paper slits from their cut place, we will get the effect of a voluminous paper craft. 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 please 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 assemble 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– glue them with the jagged “comb” facing 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 doesn't 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 easily assembles 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. Every new pattern cuts and cuts gives us a new interesting snowflake when turning.

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 these simple crafts: angels from 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 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 napkins, you can make such an elegant angel for the New Year from this openwork paper. 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), you can use not only colored paper as a craft material, but also any other one. 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 using 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 own 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 an ordinary 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.

Christmas balls made of paper: making stencils

So, in order to make this with your own hands New Year's ball on the Christmas tree you need to perform the following sequence of actions:

• Print the stencil on the printer. We suggest using the following images:

• Then take thick sheets of colored paper and trace the stencil with a pencil.

Advice! If the printer allows, stencils can be printed directly on colored paper. This will save time and effort.

• Carefully cut out the details of the future toy.
• Arrange the resulting blanks in the shape of a flower. Secure the center with a circle cut out of colored paper, gluing it firmly, as shown in the photo.

New Year's paper balls: the main work

To perform further work, manual dexterity will be required.

• The most important and interesting step is weaving. To do this, sequentially weave one strip into another, as shown in the photo.

Advice! Use paper of different colors to make the toy more interesting and colorful. To prevent the toy from falling apart when weaving, use clothespins.

• When you are almost finished weaving, glue the ends of the paper ribbons together.
• In the part of the ball where you glued the circle (see step one), make a small cut in the form of a line. Insert a beautiful ribbon into it and glue it with glue. It is better to singe it first so that it retains its original appearance.

Even a child can be involved in the process of its creation. Interesting option crafts in the shape of a flashlight can be seen in this video:

Magic lamps

Lamps for the new year 2018 can be made from scrap materials. To do this, you only need scissors, glue and colored paper or cardboard packaging:

1. Take two sheets: one yellow, the second – contrasting, for example, purple. Cut out two rectangles. Yellow – size 100x180, purple – 120x180 (in millimeters).
2. Take a yellow rectangle and glue its edges into a tube shape. Next, set it aside and proceed to the purple part. Fold the sheet in half and make cuts with scissors, leaving space around the edges. We also glue it in the shape of a tube, like a yellow sheet of paper or cardboard. The photo shows how to make a red flashlight. The sequence of actions is similar.
3. If you cut everything out carefully, the yellow tube should fit into the purple one. However, it must not be pushed in all the way. Its edge needs to be greased with glue, and only then the resulting yellow flashlight must be inserted completely into the purple tube. The same must be done on the other side. Pull up slightly purple part to release the yellow one. Cover it with glue. This will fix the yellow leaf in the purple.
4. To make the flashlight more realistic, you should make a handle. To do this, cut out a narrow strip from purple paper or cardboard and glue it to the lantern.
5. Your magic lantern is ready. This is one of the most simple crafts, even a child can handle it.

To do this, you will need the same materials as when making the previous decoration. All that remains is to add the thread. Read the master class or watch the video.

• You need to cut out two 10x10 squares from colored paper. You can use your imagination to the fullest: your stars don’t have to be yellow. Use purple, red, blue, pink colors! And your Christmas tree will sparkle with different colors.
• Fold a piece of colored paper twice in half, and then fold it twice diagonally.
• Make small cuts on the edges of the paper and fold them into the corners (as shown in the photo).

• Glue the corners in the center, leaving the rest of them free (this will give the future star volume). You should get some kind of rays.

Advice! Hold the corners while gluing with your finger. This way they will stick together better.

• Repeat the procedure described above with the second sheet of colored paper.
• Glue the two halves of the star into one. Don't forget to put the edge of the ribbon between them, with which you will hang the star on the tree.
• Give the star time to dry. This will take about 20 minutes.
