New Year is not only an all-night feast. This is also a specific surroundings in the form of a New Year tree, garlands and other New Year attributes. The green beauty, of course, can be decorated with Christmas tree toys purchased in the store, since the assortment is wide. But it will be much more interesting to make them yourself with your children. We will tell you ideas for New Year's toys made of woolen threads.
New Year's ball
To make this Christmas tree decoration, you will need an inflatable ball, a ball of woolen thread, glitter and PVA glue. Dilute the glue with water in a small bowl. Inflate the balloon to the size of the future Christmas tree decoration and tie a thread at the tip.
Wrap the ball with threads, gradually filling the entire space. After this, dip the ball into a bowl of diluted glue, holding it by the thread and turning it so that the glue penetrates well into all layers of threads.
After removing the ball from the glue, immediately sprinkle it with glitter before it dries. Hang it to dry by the edge of the thread.You can use a straightened paper clip for this.
After a day, pierce the balloon with a needle and carefully remove it from the thread ball. The Christmas tree decoration is ready! If you make several of these balls, then decorate the Christmas tree with an exclusive composition.
Star
To make this toy you will need five identical sticks (for example, toothpicks), which can be painted in any color if desired.. Lay out the sticks in the shape of a five-pointed star and glue them where the rays join. When the craft is dry, take a skein of thread and start winding it onto the frame. Upon completion of the work, tie a thread to one ray of the thread star, by which you will hang the toy on the Christmas tree.
Snowflake
To make such a snowflake, in addition to white woolen threads, you will have to cut out two cardboard squares with a side of 5 cm and use safety pins.
Place the prepared squares one on top of the other at an angle of 45 degrees and glue them together so that they do not slip. Insert a pin into each of the 8 corners. And attach a thread from a skein to one of the squares using tape. Now begin to braid the pins with a thread, moving one through the squares, gradually going down to the center. As a result, you will have a beautifully intertwined snowflake. You need to push the pins deep and hang the toy on the Christmas tree.
Father Frost
To make the head of Santa Claus, prepare theone ring, white and red yarn, wire and three beads. The threads need to be cut into equal lengths. We entangle half of the ring with white ones, tying them in a blind knot. It turned out to be a beard. And the second half - red, the ends of which will be tied into a bun. The result is a Santa Claus hat with a pompom. Through the middle of the ring, stretch a wire with stringed buttons - two black (eyes) and one red (nose).
horse
Wind the white threads from the skein around the book. Tie in the middle with red and remove. Cut the resulting circle from the side opposite to the red thread. From the red side, use another red thread to highlight the horse’s bridle, and a little further, wrap another red thread around the head. The rest is the mane. Tuck it in and pull it closer to your head with a bridle thread. All that remains is to glue the horse’s eyes on the sides and you can hang it on the tree.
Christmas flower
Wind the threads around the cardboard as if you were making a pompom. Remove from the cardboard and tie with another thread in the middle. Divide into several strands - 6 or 8 - and tie each of them closer to the ends. Cut the ends of each petal and trim with scissors. All that remains is to choose a decoration for the center of the Christmas flower - a bead, button or sequin. Sew or glue the centers on both sides of the flower.
Snowman
Those who are especially lazy can take three balls of thread of different thicknesses, connect them together and get a finished snowman. But the thrifty ones will make balls from a plastic bag and wrap each of them with thread. You can connect the three parts of the snowman together using an ice cream stick. And make the handles from a stick passed through the middle ball. Decorate the resulting toy as your imagination tells you. Typically, a snowman has a headdress, eyes, a carrot-shaped nose, several buttons on his body and a scarf around his neck.
figurine
Using this technology, you can make a Christmas tree toy of any shape - even a star, even a Christmas tree, or anything else. Draw any simple figure on a sheet of paper and transfer the image to a plastic disposable plate. Insert safety pins along the contours of the image. Coat the yarn thoroughly with glue and first wrap it around the pins, highlighting the contours of the pattern, and then fill the space inside the pattern. After the glue has dried, carefully remove the pins, separate the craft from the plate, attach a thread and hang it on the Christmas tree.
By making several of these toys, you can decorate your Christmas tree without purchasing balls. It will be enough to add some rain so that everything sparkles and shimmers, and you can safely celebrate the New Year.
