Homemade toys for the Christmas tree can be made not only by needlewomen. There are quite simple options that won’t take much time. They can be done with children or on your own. The most important thing is that your furry beauty will not be like others. And the warmth of your hands transferred to the toy will be noticed by all your loved ones.


Greetings to all readers of my blog, New Year is a magical holiday! It carries so much warmth, kindness and inspiration that it should be enough for the next 365 days! Preparing for the New Year is a real sacrament. Buying (or even better - creating with your own hands) gifts for family, loved ones and friends, planning the New Year's menu, decorating apartments and houses and, of course, the most important New Year's process... It's time to decorate the Christmas tree!

But now the next question arises: with what? Surely every home has a box of Christmas tree decorations. Some people have old Soviet houses with snow roofs, ruddy Santa Clauses and bullfinches lying there. They are, of course, dear to the heart, but they are already old, tired, and the paint is worn off. By the way, I advise you to read it, because the holidays are so fleeting.

Others have bright identical balls in the color of the curtains and golden bows.

Stylish, no doubt. But it’s the same – like everyone else’s. So what can we come up with? The answer is the simplest: make homemade Christmas tree toys! Everything about this process is perfect: from the search for ideas to the preparation of materials, from the first detail to the final result.

The flight of fancy is not limited! You can create any crafts from any materials, by any means. But sometimes it’s difficult to come up with an image on your own. In this case, there is no shame in looking: what are others doing? And taking the proposed options as a basis, come up with something of your own, or simply repeat some very cute little thing.

That is why I “climbed” onto the Internet in search of everything tasty and interesting. It’s not for nothing that mine was opened.

There are a lot of tips. We'll look at some of them.

Cardboard, paper and glue are the most accessible materials. They are always in the house, especially when the baby is growing. In addition, such homemade Christmas tree toys are easy to make, do not require special handicraft skills and can be made by a child aged 8-10 years independently or with a little parental help if your child is younger.

Paper balls

These balls are quite easy to make.

We will need:

  • 1 ball (you can use foam balls or plastic ones, which are sold in handicraft stores as blanks for Christmas tree decorations) or a hemisphere (for example, molded from plasticine);
  • glue (preferably liquid, it would be ideal to dilute the paste, but you can also use PVA);
  • newspapers;
  • thin wire (you can use a paper clip);
  • a thread;
  • glitter, stickers or scrapbooking paper - optional.

We tear the newspapers into thin strips, coat each of them with glue and gradually cover the ball with them. As soon as the base is no longer visible under the layer of newspapers, put the product aside and let it dry - about 40 minutes. Then create 2, 3, 4 and 5 layers - similar to the first. If you are using a ball base, you do not need to remove it. If you have only made half of the base, you will have to first make the decoration from individual parts and then glue them together.

After complete drying, you can apply a layer of varnish and sprinkle glitter. Homemade Christmas tree decorations are so valuable because they can be decorated in any way and with anything!

When the ball itself is ready, we begin making the “top”. If the work was carried out with New Year's balls, then we attach their holders on top. It’s even easier to glue a tinsel bow to the ball and tie a thread or ribbon on top so that you can hang the product.

To make “named” balls, just attach a piece of paper with a name to the tinsel using a thread. You can write wishes, compliments and any other pleasant little things on these stickers.

Gift decoration with vintage paper

In the same source I saw a New Year's craft that can be done in 10 minutes! You need to make an “accordion” from a sheet of music notes, alternately bending the paper into 1-2 cm strips in one direction or the other. Repeat with another sheet. Bend each accordion in half and glue along the free side to make it look like a “half-toy”. Then connect the resulting semicircles to each other along the sides that remain without folds.

You can use it as a gift for someone dear to you. Take a simple box that you can find at any craft store, decorate it with an old map and the resulting paper toy.

Musical muse

To make beautiful homemade Christmas tree decorations with your own hands, you need a true love of music!

Source

Required:

  • glue;
  • scissors;
  • old sheet music;
  • rhinestone (you can simply cut a circle out of cardboard in color).

We cut three A4 sheets with notes each into 4 parts. From the first two we will make large rays, and from the third - small ones. We roll a quarter of the sheet into a cone and glue the joint. Please note that the glue will first need to be applied so that both sides of the cone stick together into one. And then carefully glue the rest. You need 8 such elements.

The next step is to cut the quarters of the last sheet in half. We get 8 parts. The scheme is the same. After this, each ray needs to be glued to a rhinestone or cut out circle. The back part can be covered with a layer of music paper, and a thread can be glued under it.

Another tip: to age paper, you need to soak it in a bowl of strong tea and then dry it. Then crumple and iron with an iron at minimum temperature. I really like the look of the paper, which is scorched at the edges.

Be careful to only burn sheets in close proximity to a water source!

DIY vintage toys

These vintage DIY Christmas tree decorations will harmoniously fit into any interior.

To make such a New Year's beauty, you will need:

  • colored paper (or scrapbooking paper);
  • glue;
  • scissors;
  • wooden stick for the base.

Cut out strips from colored paper. Their length should be the same, but the width of each next one should be 1 centimeter more than the previous one. The number of strips and their size can be any - it depends on how you want your homemade Christmas tree toys to look.

Twist each strip into a tube and glue the joint. Then connect all the strips together and put them all together on a wooden base (can be cut out of cardboard). Don't forget the star and thread!

If regular colored paper is used, then I would additionally decorate this madame with cut out balls, circles, stars, sparkles, and pieces of tinsel. Give your child plenty of room for imagination. Let him paint the stripes and stick on bright stickers. Homemade Christmas tree decorations for the New Year can be as colorful and catchy as you like. The main thing is with the soul!

Christmas tree toys made of cardboard

If your New Year's homework is a DIY Christmas tree toy for school, then you can make an owl like this.

Source

For this you will need:

  • toilet paper roll;
  • dye;
  • glue;
  • scissors;
  • colored paper;
  • white stickers with glitter.

You will need to glue the edge parts of the base and paint the product with white paint. Cut out all the details from paper and place them on top. I would also knit scarves for the owls and add thread tassels to their ears.

Another interesting and unusual idea is to make a cup of hot chocolate from a sleeve.

Source

You will need:

  • sleeve;
  • cocktail straw;
  • colored paper;
  • glue;
  • scissors;
  • cardboard.

We prepare a paper cylinder from the sleeve - cut it to the desired size. Then from thick cardboard we cut out one cylinder of the same diameter - for the bottom, and another - for the “coffee” - a little smaller so that it fits inside but does not fall out. A small circle needs to be smeared with glue and a circle of brown paper, slightly larger, should be placed on top. Next, let's move on to the mug itself. According to the “recipe,” we are asked to cover it with a strip of colored paper, leaving a protruding part on both sides. At the bottom you should cut it with a “fringe” and glue each fragment to the bottom separately.

But I would simply wrap the homemade New Year's decorations for the Christmas tree with packaging material, fixing the joints with glue or a stapler. Or even just foil! But if according to the recipe, then don’t forget to glue the circle to the bottom.

After the packaging is ready, you need to put our “hot chocolate” inside, applying glue to the paper from the inside. Then we work on the top edge: carefully cut the free edge and glue one piece at a time. We insert the “drink” into the vessel. Here in the side edge we make a hole for the future thread.

Now for a pen: rolled paper, soaked in water and left to dry will work just fine. Glue it to the mug.

The base is ready, next is the decoration. There are no restrictions here: you can do it like the author, you can decorate it differently, for example, add a “slice of lemon” using a curly eraser, or draw a picture from “foam” using a corrector or contour. Homemade Christmas tree toys for the New Year can be very non-standard.

There are many tutorials on the Internet on how to make Christmas tree decorations with your own hands, incl. video. For example, to make a ball, you need:

  • foam base;
  • many different buttons;
  • hot glue;
  • tapes.

We cover the ball with buttons, make a bow from a ribbon - and you're done!

For me, threads are a closer material. About how many different mercies can be connected, write and write, this will be a life-long post.

Source

In addition, this is an activity for mothers, probably not for a child. Therefore, I will just show a few interesting things that I found, without going into details.

Source

A knitted ball can be made in any color and any size. The thread is quite simple to sew on. You can tie a foam base, or you can stuff the toy with synthetic padding or other similar material.

Source

But you can make things much simpler from threads. Homemade Christmas tree decorations made from thread always look very interesting, tasty and unusual.

You will need:

  • These wonderful decorations can be ordered, but are easier to make!
  • leg-split;
  • foam base for the ball;
  • scissors;
  • double-sided thin tape or hot silicone;

lace.

If you don't have tape, you can try using silicone, but this is more painstaking work. Carefully, one row after another, you need to wrap the base with rope, gluing the thread.

If you decide to use tape to make these homemade Christmas tree toys, then just make a “belt” for the ball from an adhesive strip (from left to right), and then two more lines perpendicular to the belt (from top to bottom).

Be careful not to glue one strip on top of another to avoid problems with removing the protective tape. Attach a string to half of the balloon. Then form a free part by unwinding a little twine, and, as if making a “dead loop,” return to winding the ball in the same direction as you started. Once the first round is completed, secure the “reference point” with a small pin or nail. And start moving around this pin, gluing new pieces of adhesive tape when necessary.

In principle, you can use any thread - thin or thick wool, yarn. In addition, strips of felt, woven fabric or braids, and anything else will work. When the winding is finished, you need to let the product dry and soak, if you used an adhesive mass, and then start decorating.

You can wrap any figures in the same way. The convenience of this manufacturing method is that subsequent decoration can be made with any elements. You can sew them, glue them, tie them, attach them with Velcro and whatever else you want to do with them!

Here's another option - this is the famous striped candy wrapped in twine. Fortunately, these plastic imitations can now be bought in bags and quite cheaply. Working with them is easier than with balls. You just need to secure the twine with silicone from a hot gun, and then wrap it along the entire length and do the same from the other end.

Source

Another option is to do without foam plastic altogether. For example, like in this video about how to make Christmas tree decorations with your own hands. The neck of a regular plastic bottle is used as a base. First, cover the lid area with mounting tape, making it level. Then put the bag on the bottle. And using glue, carefully wrap the container to a certain level (depending on what size bells you want to end up with. As soon as the product dries, you should remove it from the neck and free it from the bag. And the final step is decoration.

You can make homemade Christmas tree decorations from threads with your own hands, using practically nothing except this very thread!

To make such an adorable snowman, you need:

  • white yarn;
  • small cardboard;
  • scissors;
  • needle;
  • a little felt.

The whole action is based on the principle of making pompoms for a hat. You have to wrap the cardboard in 30 circles with wool and cut the thread. Carefully remove the resulting skein, tie it in two places, preparing areas for the head, belly and legs. Prepare another skein, a smaller one, for your hands. Remove it from the cardboard and make two narrowings. Then spread the threads in the second segment in the frontal plane and thread future handles through the hole.

Schematically the snowman is ready. Cut the loops of thread on the arms and legs. And then start decorating. Trim all the ends of the fur so that nothing sticks out. From felt you can make a face and a scarf for our gentleman, as well as a hat. Or you can link it. Add a belt or buttons on the stomach. Tie a string so you can hang the toy.

Christmas tree star

So, the decorations for the branches are ready! Now our beauty is waiting for her “finest hour” - when we put a star on her top. But how, from what can you make it?

While I was flipping through the pages looking for something interesting, an idea came to my mind: why not decorate the Christmas tree... with a Christmas tree?! And here, for example, is an option!

We will need:

  • sheet of cardboard;
  • glue;
  • green tinsel thread;
  • bag of candy.

We make a cone out of cardboard and glue it along the joint. Glue a layer of tinsel onto the base. Then - a layer of sweets, one to one. Then again tinsel, and again sweets! Or you can replace sweets with a garland of lights and then our top will sparkle and shimmer, as it should be on the New Year!

If you made the musical decorations that were discussed at the very beginning of the article, then the star should be musical!

Source

You can make this by cutting out the parts according to the template. Then you have to fold along the dotted lines, glue the joints - voila, done! The only difficulty is that you will have to redraw the template, or print it initially on music paper. However, you can use any other material.

For balls covered with newspapers, a corresponding star is suitable.

Source

Making such a decoration is quite difficult. There is a special master class on how to make it, consisting of two parts. The first is about how to make an even pentagon, and the second is how to make a star out of it.

A star can be made from book pages, just like a toy can be made from sheet music.

Source

You will have to fold pages or their fragments into cone-rays and glue them to the base.

A good option would be to make a three-dimensional star, for example, from papier-mâché, cardboard, or buy a blank.

  1. Let's look at an old book.
  2. Divide each page in half.
  3. We make an envelope from half.
  4. A cardboard or plastic star blank is pasted over with ready-made envelopes according to the pattern in the photo.
  5. Grease the edges with PVA glue and sprinkle with glitter.

To make it more convenient to install such homemade toys on the Christmas tree, I would advise making one large cone as a support. In addition, to make the star three-dimensional, the rays need to be glued not only on one side of the base, but also on the other.

Christmas is a holiday that for many is as important and significant as New Year. Therefore, the holiday tree must be decorated with themed decorations.

Source

You can do this, for example, using:

  • wooden ring (you can use a special blank, a spare ring from a cornice or a foam ring);
  • several beads;
  • cap for beads;
  • rondel (separator);
  • crochet hook;
  • scissors;
  • threads

But this DIY Christmas tree decoration can only be made if you have shells lying around the house. However, finding decorative material in stores (in the same Leonardo chain, which has representatives in 35 cities of Russia) today is not so difficult.

Source

To make this beauty you will need:

  • shells of different sizes;
  • hot glue;
  • a thread;
  • decorations for every taste.

In my opinion, it would be unnecessary to talk about the production process; everything can be seen without words.

This master class tells in great detail how to make an angel from a sheet of cardboard, thread, Christmas ball, ribbons and a set of decorations. These homemade Christmas tree decorations are suitable and can be used as decorations for the New Year or Christmas table.

The New Year, beloved by many, is a time of joyful troubles. The cheerful bustle catches both children and adults in its whirlpool. There are a lot of pleasant moments in preparation for this wonderful time. But there is a moment that is such a long-standing tradition that we can no longer imagine celebrating the New Year without it. This custom is loved by everyone, young and old - decorating the Christmas tree. The origins of this wonderful event go back centuries, to pre-Christian times. Ancient people believed that evergreen trees - spruce and pine - were especially loved by the gods. Therefore, they decorated them with gifts, seeking to gain divine blessings, good luck and fortune.

In Europe, the tradition of decorating Christmas trees began in the mid-16th century. According to scientists, its founder was the founder of one of the directions of Protestantism, Martin Luther. The great reformer Peter I brought the tradition of decorating the Christmas tree to Russia.

Initially, candles, fruits, cookies and paper crafts were used as decorations.

In the modern world there is such a huge number of decorations for the Christmas tree and for the room in general that it can be overwhelming: how to choose from all this tinsel and shiny decorative elements what is right for your home?

Our article is devoted to Christmas tree toys, but not ordinary ones, but those created independently, with your own hands. You cannot buy such original and unusual things in a store. Your Christmas tree will be decorated with exclusive, bright and original products, which will undoubtedly make the holiday even more memorable.

When it comes to handmade crafts, many can imagine incredibly high expenses on decorative details. We hasten to assure you that creating unusual and beautiful Christmas tree decorations is not only simple, easy and exciting, but also quite inexpensive. In our master classes we will talk in detail about crafts made from felt, scraps of fabric, sequins, threads, buttons, beads and even old computer parts or pasta.

We'll probably start with the most popular decoration - Christmas balls.

Christmas balls made of fabric

Do you have a bright colorful dress in your closet that you will never wear? Then feel free to grab the scissors and start creating. In order to make a Christmas ball from fabric, you will need:

  • The basis. This could be a foam ball or even an old sock that needs to be stuffed tightly until you get a hard ball;
  • Sheathing material;
  • A rope or ribbon for a loop with which we will hang the ball on the Christmas tree;
  • Glue (glue gun) or thread and needle.

There are many options for attaching fabric. Decorative trim can be sewn or glued. Its role can be strips of fabric gathered with frills, which need to be sewn in circles. You can cut the fabric into small squares and sew them to the base, grabbing only the center of each square. Place their centers closer to each other and you will get an adorable shaggy ball.

You can use burlap, old tablecloths, fabrics of any texture, quality and color.

Another option for decorating a Christmas ball can be buttons.

Choose bright colors and different sizes.

New Year's Christmas balls made of thread and lace



Another wonderful decoration can be balls of thread.

You will need:

  • Balloon;
  • PVA glue;
  • Sequins;
  • Iris type threads.

Making such a decoration is very simple. We inflate a ball of a size corresponding to the size of the future toy. Tie one end of the thread to it. The threads can be dipped in glue or covered with a brush. Leave some space near the base of the ball. Sprinkle glitter on top. We wait until the glue dries. Now all that remains is to pierce the ball and pull it out of the workpiece. All that remains is to hang our toy on a string or ribbon.

For needlewomen who know how to crochet, it will not be difficult to make such a magical openwork creation. We do it by analogy with threads, but here we glue the lace elements. Below we offer several diagrams for creating openwork details.

Decor of foam balls

We offer several decor options.

You will need:

  • Foam base - ball;
  • Thin felt in two shades;
  • Sequins of bright colors;
  • Pins with beautiful hats;
  • Thin ribbons and hooks as fastenings;
  • Corrugated paper;
  • Beads;
  • Needles and threads;
  • Glue.

First we will make the decoration with felt. We have white and red colors (you can choose any others).

So, let's draw a sketch of a flower with five petals. Two options, larger and smaller. The photo shows a detailed master class.

The next decoration option will be sequins. We used pins to attach them. To make the ball more colorful and interesting, try using carnations with beautiful caps. It can be sparkles, pearls, you can glue rhinestones. Begin attaching in concentric rows so that each subsequent sequin overlaps slightly.

The photo shows the attachment method step by step.

To decorate another Christmas tree toy you can use tiny flowers made of crepe paper.

We take our foam ball base and attach a ribbon loop to it, with which we will later hang it on the Christmas tree.

You need to roll the paper into a roll and cut it into strips about 1 cm wide. Following the step-by-step photos, we roll up small roses from the resulting ribbons. We glue the base with it and cut off the unnecessary tail.

Now carefully glue the flowers onto the surface of the ball. To hide the gaps between the roses, we glued beads to match the paper and ribbon.

Next DIY Christmas ball we will do vintage style made of lace.

Required:

  • Foam base;
  • Small pieces of lace;
  • Glue;
  • White and black coffee paint;
  • Brush;
  • Pin with cap (base for Christmas tree decorations);
  • Ribbons.

First, cover the foam ball with white paint. After it has dried, glue pieces of lace onto the workpiece in a random order. The next step will be covering our workpiece with brown paint. Paint in several parts to avoid staining your handles. When the paint begins to dry, take a cotton pad, moisten it with water and pass over the entire painted surface, wiping off excess paint. Wipe with different intensity. Somewhere there will be more paint, somewhere less, and the ball will have a delightful vintage, antique style.

We will decorate the next Christmas ball in high-tech style.

For this we need:

  • An old CD (depending on the size of the ball, you will need to take several pieces);
  • Plastic transparent Christmas ball;
  • A small piece of golden satin fabric;
  • Glue moment crystal.

We cut our disks into small pieces of arbitrary shape. We take our transparent ball and begin to glue the pieces of disks with a mirror surface facing outward. The location of the pieces does not matter; you glue them as your imagination dictates.

When the workpiece has dried, take out the cap with the loop on which the ball is hung, and place a golden satin ribbon or just a piece of fabric inside. We put the fastener back. Our ball is ready.

The next toy will be especially loved by all those with a sweet tooth. Christmas tree decoration in the form of a cupcake with a cherry.

You will need:

  • Small foam balls;
  • Bright cupcake tins (made of foil or paper);
  • Glue gun;
  • Skewers;
  • Scarlet beads (better if they are pins);
  • Large white sparkles.

Carefully coat the foam ball placed on a skewer with glue for ease of use. We roll our workpiece in glitter. Glue the loop. We are waiting for the glue to dry. Then take the muffin tins. This corrugated “skirt” can be made from foil or bought ready-made. We apply glue inside and place our workpiece. We decorate the top with a simple bead or pin (they also need to be glued). Our sweet Christmas tree decoration is ready.

On New Year's Eve, everything always sparkles, shines, shimmers with all the colors of the rainbow, and Christmas tree decorations are no exception. You probably have some beads or long-forgotten unnecessary jewelry at home, or maybe an old sweater with rhinestones that you will never wear. All shiny and iridescent elements can be cut off and safely used to decorate Christmas tree balls.

If you have rhinestones, crystals, bicone or beads, just place them on glue. To decorate with beads of different formats, you will need a foam ball base and pins with a cap larger than the diameter of the hole. The photo below shows in detail exactly how you can decorate a Christmas ball.

It's not just balls that are hung on the New Year's tree. It's snowing outside the window, and beautiful snowflakes are falling to the ground. And openwork graceful beauties decorate the Christmas tree. During the New Year holidays, the family spends a lot of time together, and it will be very fun and cool to make a snowflake with your own hands with the children. You can use safe and fun materials for this, like pasta.

DIY pasta snowflakes



You will need:

  • Pasta of various shapes (shells, feathers, spirals, wheels);
  • Bonding material (for small children - plasticine, for older ones - instant glue or PVA);
  • Paints of various colors, silver and gold;
  • Elements for decoration (semolina, granulated sugar, sparkles, beads and seed beads are suitable). The use of small parts is best done under adult supervision.

Since working with instant glue will be difficult for little ones, we suggest that little ones glue the pasta together with plasticine. Then paint and decorate.

For adults, there are several ways to create and decorate snowflakes from pasta.

One of them is as follows: glue the snowflake together as usual, then cover it with PVA glue and roll it in sugar, semolina or sprinkle it with nail glitter. They can be purchased at cosmetics stores or nail aesthetics salons.

Pasta snowflakes painted with gold or silver paint look very advantageous.

It will be convenient to hang our penguins on spruce branches. You can borrow hats and scarves from dolls or make them yourself and dress up the penguins.

In order to make hats for penguins or use as an independent decoration You will need:

  • Thick threads (you can use leftover yarn from one of your products);
  • Cardboard rolls from toilet paper.

We cut the cardboard blanks into rings. The width of the cap lapel will depend on the height of the ring.

Now cut the threads 30 cm long.

Fold the thread in half and thread it through the ring. Now we take the ends of the thread and make a loop (see photo). In this way we braid the entire cardboard blank. This is what we got.

We take all the thread tails and thread them into the ring (see photo). At some distance from the ring (approximately 1.5 - 2 cm), we tightly tie the entire bundle of threads. All that remains is to step back about 1 cm from the tie and cut off all the threads. We got a cute and funny hat with a bubo.



Another option Lovers of modern technology and computers will definitely be interested in this Christmas tree decoration.

  • Old computer parts (boards from game consoles, RAM, etc.);
  • A drill with a thin drill bit (if not, a thin nail and hammer will do);

  • Ribbons, connecting rings and decorative elements.

Using a drill we make several holes. We insert rings there, hang ribbons, bows and various decorations. At the other end we attach a loop, by which we will hang it on the Christmas tree.

Christmas decorations made from light bulbs

You can make a very beautiful decoration for your Christmas tree with your own hands for the New Year 2020 from ordinary burnt out light bulbs. The variety of such toys is striking in its unusualness and bright decorative appearance. Of course, it will take some time to make them, but believe me, it's worth it. For this creative work you will also need a number of auxiliary materials, such as:

  • light bulb (burnt out or new);
  • ethyl alcohol (for degreasing the surface of the light bulb);
  • acrylic primer;
  • foam sponge;
  • decoupage glue;
  • New Year's napkin;
  • brushes;
  • contour glitter of different colors;
  • sandpaper;
  • silk ribbon or thread.

Progress:

  1. Before you start decorating the light bulb, you need to treat it with ethyl alcohol in order to degrease its surface and remove any dirt.
  2. After processing the light bulb, we proceed to priming the surface using any acrylic primer, which is applied in a thin layer using a small foam sponge. If you use a brush in this work, it will leave streaks, which is not desirable for further decoration. When the priming process is complete, place the light bulb on a small jar, say a vitamin bottle, and let it dry thoroughly.
  3. After this, cover this product with a thin layer of acrylic paint, including the base. To ensure that everything is thoroughly fixed, you need to dry it for 30 minutes.
  4. In the meantime, it’s worth deciding on the future drawing. You can simply paint the toy, making various New Year's patterns, bright drawings on it, or, through decoupage, make a festive decoration. To do this, we will use a New Year's napkin, from which we will take the inscriptions and pictures we like, tearing them off with our hands and attaching fragments to the light bulb using decoupage glue.
  5. We carefully examine the dried coating to ensure that no bubbles or folds form. If this happens, then take sandpaper and sand all the irregularities, eliminating all kinds of defects.
  6. After careful processing, we begin to create an appropriate background with our own hands, choosing a winter theme or other designs that are relevant in this case.
  7. In order for the future Christmas tree decoration to look as elegant and colorful as possible for the New Year 2020, you should use some kind of multi-color glitter, decorating the contours of the existing inscriptions with it. After it dries, the decorated light bulb will acquire a delicate iridescent shine.
  8. Using the same contour glitter, you can add dot patterns, placing them over the entire surface of the light bulb, and draw snowflakes of different shapes and sizes.
  9. At the end of the painting process, we open the product with several layers of glossy acrylic varnish to avoid damage to the drawings you have applied.
  10. We finish the dry light bulb by attaching a silk ribbon to the base for further hanging it on the Christmas tree. We fasten the ends with hot glue so that bulky knots are not visible. If desired, you can use regular thread, which we wrap around the base and fix with acrylic varnish.

This DIY Christmas tree toy for the New Year 2020 will perfectly complement your room interior, making it unique and fabulous.

In order for you to be able to understand this creative process very easily, we have selected an interesting video for you, after watching which you will see what a miracle - jewelry is born in the magical hands of the author.

You need to boil the water, put a large amount of salt in it and stir well.

This dough hardens quickly, so you can't hesitate with the work. To connect pieces of a future toy made of this material, use ordinary water. To do this, dip the fragments of the craft a little into the liquid, attach them to each other and hold for a few seconds. The finished figurine must be left until it hardens completely. When the shape of the workpiece is solid, you can start decorating. Regular gouache works best on salt dough. Paint the figurine as you wish and leave it in the room until completely dry.
