Christmas toys for the new year

The custom of dressing the Christmas tree under the New Year appeared in Europe at the turn of the XVI-XVII centuries. At first, these were figures dedicated to religious themes: Bethlehem star, candles, apples. Later, they began to hang nuts, sweets and artificial decorations in the form of animals, fabulous characters, fruits. Now on sale there are Christmas toys of any shape, color and subjects, but without soul. Only from the toy made by their own hands, a special New Year's spirit comes. For this you do not need expensive materials or special skills. Everything is extremely simple.

Original ball. You will need several old CDs or DVDs, a transparent sphere with a hole and a piece of brilliant matter. Inside the bowl, shove the fabric and scatter it all over the surface. Discs cut into small pieces and glue the shiny side to the ball.

Another option is a ball of threads. For work, take:

Balloons.
Woolen threads.
PVA glue.
Inflate the ball of the desired size and tie it. Then wrap it with threads impregnated with glue, and leave to dry.
After drying, pinches the balloon and gently pull it out of a woolen form. Such a decoration can be decorated with sparkles or coat with gold varnish.

Fabulous figures from egg shell. Progress:

Take a raw egg and wash well.
Slop it with a needle from two rounded sides and carefully blow the liquid.
To keep the toy longer, fill in the emptiness to melted wax or construction foam.
Only Flight Flights. Paint the shape with paints or felt-tip pen, stick stickers, draw a winter ornament or use the decoupage technique. Create a mouse from the usual egg, minor or a gnomer, joining your paws, ears or a paper hat to it.

Do not rush to throw out wrapping paper. She can give a second life, because the drawing on it is beautiful and unusual. Cut original patterns from it and get on multicolored cardboard. Test ribbons and hang on the New Year tree.

What a Christmas tree without garlands! Make it from the walnuts rented on the twine.

Indispensable when creating Christmas tree toys. Ordinary felt. Draw the pattern like the decoration, for example, a small Christmas tree, asterisk, a gingerbread man. Cut it. You should have two identical halves. Sust them, and in the middle for volume, drink cotton wool or syntheps. Decorate the figures with buttons of different colors and sizes or embroidery.
