Undoubtedly, best gift- a handmade gift. But this not only applies to gifts, but also to decorations for the Christmas tree, wall, closet, etc. Everything will be discussed in more detail later in the article.

Snowflakes

The first and probably simplest thing is snowflakes, a symbol of frost. They are different. I'll start with the simplest option.

So, let me prepare:

• Scissors.
• Paper (a4 format).
• A simple pencil.
• Eight-pointed snowflake

The blank is folded from a square sheet of paper, so I cut off the excess part.
Since the square is folded in half, we should get a triangle. We fold the resulting triangle in half perpendicular to the base. Then I fold it in half again.

After that, I fold it again and cut off the excess part. I outline the outline of the snowflake. I lay out what I cut out - I should get a snowflake. Now let’s start making a six-rayed snowflake.

For this snowflake I will need a square piece of paper. I fold a square sheet of paper in half. Then I bend the resulting blank, but do not fold it, but only squeeze it on the first fold, thus forming a notch in the center of the folded sheet.

I bend the second corner in the same way, only I make sure that the second corner overlaps the first. Next, I fold it in half along a vertical axis drawn from the notch. After that, I take a pencil and draw the outline of a snowflake. Then I cut along the contour.

Christmas tree

What would New Year be without a green beauty? For our first idea, we need to make a cone out of paper. The “twigs” for our Christmas tree will be roses made from napkins.

I fold each napkin in half, and then in half again. After that, I fasten it all together with a stapler in the middle. After I stapled it, I cut out a circle from the napkin. I think it should be multi-layered.

I take the topmost layer and twist it. This is what I do with all the layers. When I'm done, I straighten the rose a little. Now you need to cover the cone with roses so that there are no gaps or bald spots.

Christmas paper toys

Let's move on to Christmas tree decorations made of paper. What kind of Christmas tree am I without balls, icicles, pine cones and other decorations?

So let's make Christmas tree decorations for our forest beauty? For this I will need:

• Thick paper.
• Old magazines, cardboards and candy boxes.
• Scissors.
• Glue.
• Compass.

To begin, I take cardboard and trace twenty-one identical circles and cut out the resulting circles with scissors.

I need to fold each circle in the following way: I bend the circle in half twice, on one side and on the other. After this, I unbend and mark the center of the circle. Then I bend it again, but this time on one side, so that the edge of my circle is exactly in the intended center. I bend it again on both sides. I should get a triangle.

In one of the twenty circles I need to cut out this triangle, which will serve as a kind of stencil. Next, all we need to do is apply the triangle to the remaining circles, tracing it and bending the edges of the circles outward along the contour.

Now I need to take the first ten circles and glue them into stripes, alternating: five down, five up. Now I need to glue the strip into a ring, which will serve as the basis of our toy.

Now I'll take care of the top and bottom covers. I need to glue them to the base in exactly the same way. And now it’s time for the loop by which the toy will be hung.

Flashlight toy

I'll start by taking two sheets of paper of different colors. For example, white and red. Next, I cut out two rectangles. White will be 100 by 180. Red will be 120 by 180.

I'll start with red. I'll fold it in half and make cuts so that there is room at the edges. We do white in the same way as red.

Star

To do this, I need to prepare 10 by 10 squares. First, I need to make two folds and then folds diagonally. After that I need to make cuts and fold them into the corners. Next, glue the corner in the center.

Repeat the procedure with the second sheet of paper. Then glue the two halves together.

Charming ball

For this venture I needed eight circles. Then I cut out two more circles, which should be half the size of the previous ones.

I folded each circle in half, and then in half again. Now you need to glue four large circles onto one small one. Next, you need to position the quarters correctly. We straighten the resulting pockets. Now you just need to make the other half of the ball as well. All I have to do is glue the two halves together and the ball is ready!

Candles

It is necessary to prepare two strips of paper approximately 20 millimeters wide and 30 centimeters long. I will also need red and yellow paper to make the “flame”.

I glue the ends of the strips at right angles.

I fold the candle body from the strips so that they overlap each other.

I cut out the candle flame and glue it to the candle body.

Now you need to bend all the piles in half and collect the snowflakes into a crystal. I tied the end of the blank with fishing line. I need to make eight more. This work is not easy, I tell you.

One pack of strips needs to be bent and secured with fishing line, but along the outer edge. It should be a circle.

I fasten all the crystals with hot glue to the prepared circle. I almost forgot. And four more blanks must be inserted into the spaces between the first ones.

I also fasten the side parts of the crystals.

Sprinkle with glitter and the openwork snowflake is ready.

Do you think that's all? But no! I left the most interesting thing for last – the voluminous snowflake. Don't worry, it's very easy to do.

Option 1 volumetric snowflake

I draw a sheet of colored paper into rectangles measuring 5 by 6 centimeters. Next, we do the same with white paper, but in rectangles measuring 3 by 4 centimeters.

After that, I take 3 by 4 rectangles and also twist the icicles and glue them onto the workpiece with large icicles. I cover a small circle with glitter and glue it into the middle of the resulting workpiece.

Option 2 volumetric snowflakes

For this venture I will need:

• Glue.
• Scissors, stapler.
• Stationery.
• Paper.
• I warn you right away that this snowflake is much more difficult to make than the previous one.

First, I'll prepare a stencil. For the stencil we need cardboard. We draw six lines on it at right angles. The lines should be 1 cm apart.

Now we have to bend six album sheets diagonally and make cuts according to the stencil. I should end up with 6 triangles with cuts running parallel to each other.

After that, I take one of the triangles and unfold it. That is, I should end up with a square containing even smaller squares. You need to start from the center. I turn the corners of the central square towards the center. I glue it. I turn it over to the other side and do the same as with the central square. As a result, I should end up with an icicle.

There's just a little bit left to do. Fasten all my icicles together and our snowflake is ready.

Option 3 volumetric snowflakes

For this option I will need:

• A4 paper.
• Threads.
• Needle.
• Red patch.
• Stationery.

On a sheet of paper I draw four circles, which must be the same diameter. I cut out the circles and mark eight equal parts. I make cuts along the marked lines towards the center. After that, I bend the tip of each such “petal” and glue it.

I do the same manipulations with the remaining circles and sew them together. The red shred is needed to give the product completeness. Cut out a circle from the scrap and glue it together.

After rummaging around on the Internet again, I came across another version of a three-dimensional snowflake. This snowflake is made from strips of paper. So, I'll cut the paper into strips. The strips should be five millimeters and 21 centimeters long.

A snowflake consists of two halves. That is, one half needs 10 strips. I glue the first two strips together so that I get a cross. Then I glue two more strips.

Next, I pass two strips through the beam and glue them. There should be two free strips left. After that I also do the other half. I fasten the halves together with loose strips and intertwine them with each other.

The main guests of the holiday are Santa Claus and Snow Maiden made of paper

What New Year would be complete without the good wizard Grandfather Frost and his beautiful Snow Maiden? Even if you already have worthy figurines of these heroes of the winter holidays, which you place under the Christmas tree every year, the symbols of the New Year made by yourself will seem much more the best solution.

Step 3. White paper should be cut into strips, which, in turn, you will need to cut into fringes on one side, a little more than half a strip.

Step 4. Add some curl to your fringe by twisting it around the tip of a ballpoint pen.

Step 5. Cut out a small oval from white paper and draw Santa's face on it, then glue the oval just above the middle of the cone. If the quality of the paints allows you to paint directly on the figure, it will be even better.

Step 6. Now, using the cut and twisted fringe, make Santa Claus a fur coat (gluing the fringe to the base of the cone - this is the hem of the grandfather's robe), a beard, eyebrows and the edge of his hat.

Step 7 Paint Santa Claus with mittens, a hat and decorate his fur coat with a pattern. The fairy tale wizard that all children love is ready!

Paper snowflakes - master class

Simple snowflakes made from napkins are a thing of the past; today they are extremely popular volumetric snowflakes. Here is one example of such a New Year's decoration that you can easily master together with your children.

We make a snowflake from a simple sheet of A4 paper. Fold it in half, cut each sheet and fold it once diagonally, cutting off the excess. We fold these resulting squares in half diagonally again.

We cut out petals from them, and make two cuts in each petal, not reaching the fold. We carefully unfold the resulting workpiece.

We glue the middle parts of the petals to the middle, and perform this manipulation with each petal. We proceed in the same way with the second workpiece.
