DIY New Year's things. DIY gifts for the New Year Beautiful things to do with your own hands for the New Year

Show me a person who doesn't like gifts? And, of course, many people like to give them. But often the process of finding a suitable gift turns into real hell, especially if you need a lot of them at once, as is usually the case two or three days before the New Year. Money is running short, there is only consumer goods left on the shelves, and it is unknown what to give to a second cousin who has suddenly appeared!

What a pity that the times when a book was a universal gift have sunk into oblivion (today almost everyone has both a tablet and an e-reader). And I don’t want to give something trivial that will be immediately passed on or thrown away as unnecessary. Thinking about all of the above, I discovered that there are at least 25 gifts that you can easily make yourself, moreover, without spending much money, using mainly scrap materials.

1. Soft toys and sofa cushions

Kids will never refuse a big one soft toy, and most adults too. And sewing any funny face is not as difficult as it might seem at first. Don't throw away old clothes, bright children's socks, shreds, buttons, beads and you will always have the right material at hand. You can stuff the toy with holofiber specially purchased for this occasion, or you can use the same shreds or padding polyester. Make the pattern yourself, or find a simple master class on the Internet. Don’t be afraid of the difficulties, the Internet is simply replete with the easiest video tutorials on any type of needlework! Even a child can sew a pillow with their help!




2.New Year's wreath

An ideal New Year's gift for a friend, mother, sister or colleague. Everything related to decor that is done with taste and a sense of style will be appreciated! This traditional wreath, hanging over a door or decorating a table, will become bright accent in a festive interior.


One of the most simple master classes...




Take an unnecessary aluminum trample, use pliers to straighten it until it takes the shape of a circle (this is not difficult to do by hand, even without using other tools). String Christmas balls of different sizes and different colors onto the wire (pre-lubricate the places where they touch each other with glue so that your wreath holds the desired shape) until you fill the entire space. The colorful wreath is ready!

The material for the New Year and Christmas wreath can be anything - from clothespins to foil! Imagine!

3. DIY vintage painting

Using a cutout from gloss and canvas, you can make an unusual and stylish gift in a couple of hours, which will suit your girlfriend, your beloved, your second cousin, your hairdresser Zoya, and your English teacher. Cut from a magazine beautiful photo or a drawing, paste it onto the canvas with the pattern “down” (you will get a “mirror” reflection) and leave the painting until completely dry. Then take a spray bottle, a sponge and begin to gently remove the top layer (see photo), splashing water on the canvas and wiping it with a sponge until the picture appears. The paper will be removed in fibers - they must be removed immediately and excess water removed. When the painting is completely dry, you can rub it a little with a dry abrasive sponge to give it a worn, vintage look, so to speak. Now you can open it with varnish.






4.Soap self made

Soap is a unique gift. Everyone uses soap. Moreover, if it is made by hand with the addition of oils and herbs... Mmm... The easiest way to make it: grate a bar of baby soap and heat it in a water bath with 2 tsp. olive oil. Then add 100 g of water and cook everything until smooth, stirring occasionally. As you go, add (optional): finely chopped herbs, dried fruits, ground coffee, dyes. Add essential oils last and immediately remove your brew from the heat! Grease your soap molds with oil and you are ready to pour your soap! A couple of hours in a cold place and your unique handmade gift is ready. To remove the product from the molds, you need to turn them upside down and tap lightly. If you have any difficulties, hold the molds over the fire for a while - the soap will melt and slide out easily. You can also freeze it in the refrigerator for a few hours and try to pull it out again.


8.Birthday calendar for the most forgetful friend

What do you think about the idea of ​​a calendar where the birthdays and anniversaries of all your relatives and friends will be entered? I think this is cool, especially if among your friends there is someone who consistently forgets these dates! Include additional cells in the kit for such a very useful thing, in case new dates appear, and the calendar will serve its owner for a very, very long time!


9.Original postcard

Don't forget about postcards! big, beautiful card with a “twist” it can become both a full-fledged gift and an addition to the main present.


10. Gift for a needlewoman

Is your friend interested in sewing? Is your mom always making something? Give them a beautiful pincushion! Such things are sewn quite simply, but the needlewomen themselves always have little time for themselves. What can you say, a shoemaker without boots! How to sew .



11. All kinds of decorations

There is never enough decoration! Therefore, you can safely give your friend, mother, mother-in-law, or colleague a hand-made necklace or brooch, but only if you know at least a little about her taste preferences!



12. Towel - robe


Giving just a towel is trivial, but presenting a towel that, if desired, can be transformed into a very comfortable and stylish robe is already something. The secret is simple: buy a large bath towel, a couple of buttons, ruffles and ribbons “to match” and start assembling the “transformer”. Make a couple of loops on the towel at one end in the chest area, and sew buttons on the other (here, of course, you need to know the size of the person for whom you are preparing this gift). You can sew ruffles or ribbons on the bottom and sides. You can also make embroidery, a monogram with initials, or applique on the robe. This gift will be appreciated by many, because this thing is not only beautiful, but also practical - it can be used both at home and on the beach. If you think that this will not be enough, you can buy bright slippers or a set of useful “bath” little things for your robe: bombs, bath foam, body scrubs, essential oils, handmade soap.


13. Bath bombs

Another “bath” gift is homemade “fizzy drinks” filled with aromatic oils and skin-friendly starch. Many people will like this gift.

The simplest recipe for making “bombs”: take 2 cups of soda; a cup of citric acid and the same amount of corn starch (it can be replaced with potato starch or milk powder); 0.5 cups of sea salt; 2 tbsp. any oil (olive, coconut, walnut...); 1-2 tsp. any essential oil; dye as desired.


You can also add herbs, coconut flakes, ground coffee, etc. if desired. The main thing is in moderation, otherwise your bombs may not form well. Now mix starch, citric acid, soda and sea ​​salt. If you use dry dye, use that too. Mix thoroughly to completely remove any lumps. Then mix: base and essential oils, as well as dye (if it is liquid). Shake the mixture to a creamy consistency and mix it with the starch-soda mixture, dripping drop by drop into the center and gradually kneading everything until smooth. If the resulting mass is smooth and does not crumble, you can form bombs; if it does fall apart, sprinkle it with water and knead again.

Molds for bombs can be special molds or any available materials: an ice cream spoon, an “egg” from a Kinder Surprise... Dry the finished products on a napkin until they become hard as a rock and you can start packaging!

14. Sweets

Today, confectionery factories produce a lot of “themed” delicacies for the New Year holidays: snow-covered houses made of ginger or almond cookies, chocolate trees and Snowman figurines, snowflakes - gingerbread cookies... You can do all this yourself if you wish! Moreover, both adults and children will be delighted with such gifts!


15. Beautiful decor for bottles or glasses

An ideal gift option for those who are interested in making homemade wines and liqueurs. In any other case, you can give good wine or cognac, while decorating the bottle with something “New Year and Christmas”.

Before you start decorating the bottle, it is better to remove all labels from it and wash it thoroughly. When it's dry, start decorating. You can use a syringe filled with glue to apply a design on it, and then quickly sprinkle it with semolina and let it dry. The resulting pattern will resemble frost.


The second decor option is decoupage. Apply a good coat of primer (this could be paint or glue) to a clean bottle, then take a regular patterned table napkin and peel off the very top layer. Using a brush and a solution of glue and water (1:1), glue the napkin onto the bottle, smoothing out any irregularities with your fingers. Allow the work to dry completely, then coat it with varnish. You can also further decorate the bottle with sparkles, inscriptions, stamps, etc.


The third option is to decorate with cotton fabric or an elastic bandage. To do this, you need to soak the bandage fabric for a couple of minutes in glue, and then carefully stick it on the bottle, modeling beautiful folds and irregularities. The fabric is applied in one layer, but with the bandage you may need to tinker and put it in two or three layers. When the glue is completely dry, the bottle can be painted or decoupaged. The final stage is autopsy finished work varnish.


You can decorate glasses in the same way: paint them acrylic paints, decoupage, make openwork modeling from thermoplastic or polymer clay.

16. Christmas tree decorations

The most popular New Year's gift. There are many beautiful Christmas tree decorations today, but none of them compares to the one you make with your own hands, because it automatically becomes unique. Consider the characteristics of the person to whom you are giving such toys. A musician - decoupage the balls with sheets of music, an architect - glue mini-models from cardboard, loves dancing - fashion ballet shoes out of plastic, is crazy about cars - attach a ribbon to a small Ferrari model...



17. Fun flash drive decor

The flash drive is now the same necessary thing in our everyday life, like a telephone or a comb. Without a flash drive - nowhere. But presenting a friend or relative with just a flash drive is somehow... boring. But giving a photographer a miniature “Canon”, which, if necessary, quickly transforms into an information carrier, is at least funny! How to make a work of art out of an ordinary flash drive? Using polymer clay. But only self-hardening, since the usual one will have to be baked together with the equipment, and this, alas, is deplorable for the latter.


18. Gloves

In such a snowy winter, a pair of gloves will never be superfluous! They, of course, can be knitted, but it’s easier and faster to sew them from an old sweater, a piece of dovetail or thick felt. The scheme is simple - draw a hand on paper or cardboard - a mitten of the desired size and cut it out, adding another 2 cm for the seams. Now take a fabric or an old sweater, apply your stencil to it and trace it twice (the second time in a mirror). All that remains is to cut out both parts of the mitten and sew them together. The rest of the decor is at your discretion.


19. Clothes for your beloved pet

If the person you are looking for a gift for has a cat or dog, a good gift there will be a warm “fur coat” for his beloved pet. And if this “fur coat” is made with funny New Year’s prints (with a hood in the shape of a Santa hat or with deer horns) - this is a double plus. You can use unnecessary knitted items, worn-out towels, or any other scraps as material. And to make it easier for you to navigate, here is a basic cutting diagram...

20. Key holder

Maybe I’m the only one whose keys bring a lot of trouble - they tear the linings of my pockets, get lost in the depths of my bag, get confused with the headphones of the player... Maybe. But, if you know another such person, give him a key holder! Believe me, he will be very, very grateful to you!


21. Warm slippers, socks or blanket

In winter, warm clothes become our fetish! We buy gloves en masse, run to supermarkets for duvets, take out bags with extra insoles from the depths of closets... Therefore, everything will be soft and warm by the New Year the perfect gift! If you really want, you can sew a large one from fleece and warm blanket, or you can give a more modest gift - socks or slippers.


22. Passport cover

Today, handmade passport covers have become very popular: made of felt, jeans, lace. You can try to sew the same one. Or you can decoupage a regular plastic cover.


23. New Year's bottle decor

A bottle of champagne in a fluffy bright “fur coat” (this could be a Santa, deer, Snow Maiden, snowman or Christmas tree costume) will be a good gift for lovers of all kinds of New Year’s decorative things. They will drink the champagne, but the fur coat will remain, and it can be used more than once! The simplest cut of such “clothes” looks like mini aprons with ties at the bottom and neck.


24. Socks for gifts

If you are visiting a whole family, then you can give traditional personalized socks as a gift, which hang over the fireplace and into which the caring Grandfather Frost then puts gifts. Sewing them is not difficult, just draw and cut out a stencil of the required size from paper, transfer it to the fabric twice (the second time in a mirror), leaving a couple of centimeters for the seams and sew both blanks, finishing the edges beautifully before doing this. A couple of bright ribbons and Christmas decorations - the socks are ready!


25. Sweet bouquet of candies

A bouquet of sweets that you can easily make with your own hands will be a good gift for any table. Watch the master class...

New Year is in three days! This thought makes me want to scream the letter “A”. I always don't have enough time. And I want everything around me to be beautiful and elegant.

Trim off the excess length to create a pom pom. The finished hats can be hung on the Christmas tree or made into a garland.

How to make You will need: thick paper wooden spools of thread paint of any color thin tape, rope, thread or rubber band glue pencil or pen How to do: Paint the spools in any color. You can skip this point, but it will be more beautiful if the coils are bright in color. From thick paper, cut several strips slightly less than the width of one spool. The length of each strip is approximately 20–25 cm. Glue one end of the strip to the reel. Once the glue is dry, wrap a strip of paper around the spool. Insert ribbon, thread, or elastic through the spool. Now have each family member write down a list of gifts they want to receive and hang the list spool on the tree.
