First I come up with a plot. I make templates of the required size from paper and cut out parts from tiles.

I glue it using construction adhesive. You can use titanium, but it takes a long time to dry.

I cut off the top of the box, leaving only the bottom with low sides,

I cover it with cotton wool. Here I use PVA glue.

Using construction glue, I secure the figures to the base.

For Grandfather Frost I used an empty yogurt bottle, parts from an old baby doll (head, arms, red fabric, cotton wool, white yarn. For the staff, a drinking straw, tinsel, floral ribbon.

Now I'm creating a plot. Installing Grandfather Frost, on the sleigh there is a bag with gifts and decorate the Christmas tree with multi-colored beads.

The closer the New Year gets, the more often we think about decorating our home for this wonderful holiday. DIY Santa Claus craft - new ideas with photos will help you create bright and interesting accents in your home.

PAPER FANTASY CLAUS

Having made such a wonderful toy, you can hang it on the Christmas tree or, making a garland, decorate your room.
What will you need? Double-sided colored thick cardboard (or paper), wooden red beads (can be replaced with a tube), bead, needle and thread, pompom and thin ribbon, scissors, glue.
As you can see in the picture, the Santa Claus craft consists of two balls. To make a body with your own hands, you need to cut out 6-8 strips 1.5 cm wide and 26 cm long. For the head you should take 5 narrow stripes 1 cm wide and 16 cm long.
To assemble the ball, place the strips in a circle - make sure that they divide it into equal parts. They should lie so that their ends intersect. To achieve this, we recommend using a template. Now we decorate the bottom of the ball - pierce the junction with a needle and thread, secure the bead.

Next, we make a base to which we firmly attach the free ends of the strips. IN original version in the photo these are wooden red beads, but they can be replaced with a cocktail straw. The length of the beads should be equal to half the length of the strip.
Having made two balls, cut out stencils of the face (1) and hands (4) from paper. Attach a pompom to the head. The picture shows two versions of the Santa Claus craft - with legs (2) and without. Choose the one you like. An interesting addition would be a gift bag made using the same technique. Top stencil with number 3.

SANTA CLAUS FROM A BOTTLE

New ideas with photos help you take a fresh look at already familiar things. We can make a cute Santa Claus from an unnecessary plastic bottle. And not alone - a hare will keep him company.
What is needed for this? Bottle, acrylic, paints, knitted scarf and a bandage.
To make the figure stable, fill the bottle. You can either not empty it before work, or fill it with cereal.

Once the bottle is de-stickered, rinsed and dried, coat it with white acrylic primer. When it's dry, start painting the bottle with colored acrylic.
To prevent your handmade Santa Claus from freezing, you should put a scarf and a “hat” on the painted bottle. If you make a hare, you can also cut its ears from an unnecessary plastic bottle.

CRAFTS OF SANTA CLAUS FROM COTTON WOOL

In order to make a craft from cotton wool, you need paste - 1 tbsp. Mix a spoonful of starch with water until creamy, pour boiling water into the resulting mixture, stirring constantly. When the mixture becomes clear, it is ready for use.

Now we dip cotton pads and cotton wool into the paste and form the details of the future figurine - two cones from cotton pads (these are hands), cotton balls - one large and two smaller ones (these are the head, nose and pom-pom).
Prepare a small bottle - for example, from drinking yogurt. It will become the body of Santa Claus, so you also need to glue cotton wool on it.

The formed parts will dry for 24 hours, then they are painted with gouache. After the paint has dried, we attach the finished parts to the body, add the finishing touches - sleeves, collar, mustache, beard and everything else using PVA glue. Eyes are painted with gouache.
Additionally, make Santa Claus a staff and a bag of gifts.

MACARONI

This is such a fun decoration New Year's table done with your own hands. The materials you will need are noodles, vermicelli and olives. And a flat surface on which to lay the craft.

The cooking process is simple - boil the noodles and place them on a dish, creating New Year's image. If you don’t find colored noodles, we recommend coloring regular ones.

FROM PALM

How do you like this new idea like in the photo? You can literally make a craft with your own hands.
What you need to make such a Santa Claus, which will become an interesting decoration for a postcard: red and white fabric, a postcard with a picture of Santa Claus.

As you understand, everything is simple - you just need to trace your hand and cut out the resulting outline from the fabric. Next, we put together a figurine of the main New Year's Grandfather from the pieces and attach a head cut out from the picture on top.

FROM A BULB

To make such a decoration, you need to paint the light bulb with white paint in two layers.
While the paint is drying, start sculpting with mastic (it will also work salt dough) of a round flattened ball is the nose of the figure. And sew a hat so that Santa Claus won’t be so cold.
If the paint has dried, then it’s time to glue the finished nose to the area of ​​the future face. We recommend doing this using a “hot gun”.

Now we begin to draw the contours of the face, eyes, eyebrows, mustache and beard with a simple pencil. Now you can paint over the rest of the body with red paint.
Now let's start painting the face - don't forget to add sparkle to the eyes. To make the painted parts look voluminous, we recommend drawing them with an outline.
Now we put on the hat (to keep it securely, secure it with a hot gun). Sew a thread to the hat so that the toy can be hung on the Christmas tree.
Additionally, you should use a thin brush and black paint to draw the details of the toy. And don't forget the glitter!

FROM A SOCK

An amazing craft, a real Santa Claus can be made from ordinary socks!
First, let's take a sock white– this is the body of the toy. Cut off the unnecessary, leaving only the length that is convenient for you.
If you end up with, for example, a cropped boot, then carefully sew or tie the bottom so that you get a “bag”. If you bandage it, turn the sock inside out, so the toy will become stable.

The workpiece should be filled with cereal or cotton wool. We fix the top with an elastic band. Santa Claus' fur coat is made from another sock - red. Usually the bottom part of the sock is used, in which case the part that used to wrap around the toes will become a hat, and the rest will become a fur coat. Mittens are made from parts of the boot.
Using cotton wool, the craft is decorated - a pompom, a beard, and the edges of clothes are made. We make a bag and a staff with our own hands. Don't forget your eyes and nose! They are made using beads or buttons.

We hope the photos from this article gave you new ideas for creating crafts for the New Year, which is just around the corner. We wish you good luck!

Surely every person has made something at least once in his life. It could be some kind of craft for a school assignment or something done on one’s own initiative. Moreover, for some, such work was a burden, while for others, on the contrary, it was a joy. Many could even connect their lives with creativity. That is, make crafts not for yourself, but for sale.

However, only experienced needlewomen can come up with ideas for creativity on their own. Although even they sometimes need hints or peculiar hints that can push the thought process in the right direction. Beginners require step-by-step master classes.

New Year's Santa from a bottle

Crafts based on vessels containing alcoholic beverages for adults and bottles of lemonade for children look very unusual. It’s not at all difficult to do such a fun and interesting thing at home. You can start with easy option, as in the photo above, but the one we describe below is much more original. For this you need to prepare the following tools and materials:

• corrugated or wrapping paper is best red;
• paper ribbons for decoration;
• a sheet of white paper;
• felt-tip pens or colored pencils;
• ordinary cotton wool;
• PVA glue;
• scissors;
• a bottle - both empty and unopened will do.

How to make Santa Claus with your own hands? The algorithm of actions is as follows:

1. First you need to cut out a rectangle from corrugated or wrapping paper. Its size should be determined by the bottle. The height should be equal to the distance from the bottom to the base of the neck, and the width should be the circumference of the bottle + ten additional centimeters.
2. We will also need three more rectangles - fifteen by ten centimeters. We fold two of them lengthwise and twist them, like candy. And the remaining one is in width. And we twist only one side.
3. Now we put a large rectangle on the bottle and wrap it around the middle several times with decorative tape. You can even make the ends hang down. Then they should be twisted with scissors. To make your own handmade Santa Claus look as impressive as possible.
4. At the base of the neck, the paper also needs to be carefully collected and secured. But hide the ends. Attach a strip of cotton wool on top. After all, Grandfather wears a warm sheepskin coat with fur.
5. Next, cut out an oval from white paper and draw a face on it New Year's Grandfather. Moreover, it is important not to forget about rosy cheeks.
6. Then we glue cotton wool, imitating a beard, and use glue to attach Frost’s face to the bottle.
7. We put on a hat and glue a cotton pompom to the tip.
8. The last thing we attach are the hands - the previously made “candies”. If desired, they can also be decorated with cotton wool.

And so we managed to make Santa Claus with our own hands!

Postcard "New Year's Grandfather"

Most of all, kids love to make various crafts. And that's very cool. After all, such tasks are very useful for them. Because the process itself is incredibly fun and exciting, and it also has a beneficial effect on fine motor skills child and, accordingly, on his intelligence. And finally, when kids do something together with their parents, they become closer and begin to better friend understand a friend, feel. And this is especially important for maintaining warmth in relations between two generations.

So, to execute unusual postcard with a do-it-yourself image of Santa Claus you will need a very affordable set of tools and materials:

• colored paper red and any contrasting color;
• scissors;
• PVA glue;
• a simple pencil if necessary;
• paints, gouache is best;
• artistic brush;
• plastic eyes - they can be purchased at any craft store;

How to make an original postcard:

1. The first step is to fold a sheet of colored paper in a complementary color in half. Moreover, it is important that the fold goes along the long side.
2. Now the fun begins. The kids will be indescribably delighted from the following manipulations. Dip the brush into white gouache and generously paint the child’s palm.
3. Afterwards the child must apply it to front side cards so that the fingers point down.
4. Then we let the paint dry, and we thoroughly wash and dry our hands.
5. Next, all that remains is to complete the image of Santa Claus. You can create a real masterpiece out of paper with your own hands! So, cut out a hat from red colored paper and glue it above the palm print, retreating about four centimeters.
6. Finally, we attach the eyes and a small circle cut out of paper - the nose.
7. And then we take the paints again. The kid dips his finger in white paint and places dots along the bottom edge of the hat, imitating fur, and along the top edge - a pompom.
8. In the same way, you need to outline the pink cheeks and mouth.

Mask "New Year's Grandfather"

Even children can handle one more basic idea. But the process itself will take a little time, but will bring a lot of pleasure. So let's talk about necessary materials and tools:

• colored cardboard red and white;
• simple pencil;
• scissors;
• PVA glue;
• thin sewing elastic band.

In addition, one more important nuance should be noted. If the reader draws well, then he can independently sketch a sketch - a silhouette of the face of Grandfather Frost. Or you can print the template we offer. But in this case you will need a printer. After the part is cut out of cardboard, the printing device can even be used in black and white.

So, how to make a Santa Claus mask from cardboard with your own hands:

1. First you should prepare the parts - cut them out from a printed or drawn template.
2. Then transfer them to cardboard. It is important not to mix it up, because the hat should be placed on a sheet of red cardboard, the pompom and the main part of the face on white. You also need to add additional fields at the gluing points.
3. Now all that remains is a very simple job: cut out the cardboard parts and connect them in the correct order to each other. If the suggested template was used, then the pompom and mustache should be placed on top of other parts.
4. Finally, you just need to measure the elastic band to the desired length. To do this you will need to try on a mask.
5. And then attach it.

And the original DIY cardboard mask “Santa Claus” was made very successfully!

Fabric mask “New Year's Grandfather”

This means that wearing an interesting accessory will become more comfortable. In addition, the mask will fit much tighter. Then it can be used to create an original New Year's costume.

4. Then we put the parts together: we glue Frost’s head and hat.
5. Attach a pompom and make a beard out of confetti along the edge.
6. We complement the face with beaded eyes and a fastening rope.

4. Closer to the edge we mark a hole in the shape of a semicircle.
5. We cut out the “blot” completely and the hole, leaving one side untouched.

7. We attach the “blot” to the cone by smearing glue on the uncut part of the hole, which must first be bent inward.

Most adults give money for the holidays. But they formalize them in an unusual way. And we would like to offer one of the creative options:

Painting depicting New Year's Grandfather

In honor of the most “tangerine” holiday, we are used to dressing up and decorating our home. A great idea, developed specifically for such an occasion, would be a painting depicting Father Frost. It’s very simple to make, but you’ll have to rummage through the needlewoman’s makeup bag and find a lot of buttons there. Most of them should be red. Their size may be different. However, it will be more convenient to handle those that do not have legs.

What’s interesting is that, if you wish, you can easily develop a painting template - the composition of the Santa Claus craft - with your own hands. Or find the desired option on the Internet. Well, then it’s a matter of little things. We take glue in our hands and glue the buttons in the order corresponding to the picture.

Modular origami Santa Claus - master class

We will need: sheets of A4 paper: blue - 14 pieces for 211 modules, white - 13 pieces for 207 modules, pink color- 1 sheet for 17 modules.

We divide each sheet into 16 rectangles, from which we will make modules.

Step one. Fold the rectangular sheet in half lengthwise. Using another fold, we outline the middle line.

Step two. We bend the edges of the rectangle folded along the middle, as shown in the photo. Turn the piece over and fold the bottom edges up.

Step three. We fold the corners, bending them over the large triangle, and then bend these corners inward. We bend the resulting figure in half - so we have learned how to make a module. Now, in the same way, we make the required number of modules indicated above from the rest of the paper.

Step four. Let's start making crafts. We take 5 white modules and arrange them as in the photo (we place the top row module with the smaller side up). Next, we assemble a chain of 3 rows of white modules. Each row consists of 25 pieces.

Step five. We close the chain into a ring and turn it over. Next, we perform 3 rows with blue modules. From the seventh row we make a beard. To do this, insert 2 white modules with the smaller side facing out. We insert the remaining blue modules of row 7 as usual.

Step five. In the 8th row we fasten 3 white modules, as usual, with the long side, the remaining modules are blue. With each next row we add one white module on each side of the beard.

Step six. In the 11th row we insert one red module into the middle of the beard - this is the mouth. Row 12 consists of white modules. We put them on blue modules with the smaller side facing out, and on white modules (beard) with the long side, as usual. In the 13th row, opposite the red module, we put on the white one with the long side outward, and 2 pink modules each with the smaller side (see photo).

Step seven. In the 14th row we put on 6 pink modules with the smaller side, and we put on white modules as usual. Row 15 - we put on 17 white modules and 8 pink ones. In the 16th and 17th rows we put on all the white modules with the smaller side outward - this is the hat.

Step eight. The last 18th row consists of blue modules with the smaller side facing out. We assemble hands from 3 white modules and 5 blue ones. Glue the finished eyes and insert the nose (part of a children's mosaic). Santa Claus made from paper using the technique modular origami ready. We hope that after studying the master class, the Snow Maiden, made in the same technique, will appear next to your Santa Claus.

DIY Santa Claus from colored paper - master class

We will need: red paper, pink for the face, white paper for the beard, cotton wool, felt-tip pens, scissors and glue.

Operating procedure:

1. Using a compass or a small plate, draw a semicircle on red paper. We cut it out, fold it into a cone and glue it together.
2. We cut out an oval from pink paper, draw eyes and a nose on it with a felt-tip pen and glue the face of Santa Claus to the cone.
3. Next, glue on the beard and hat from white paper. To do this, cut out white strips, cut fringe on them and twist it with scissors. We glue strips with twisted fringe to the cone at the bottom of the face in several rows, giving the beard fullness. We make a hat from the same strip. A beard, hat and fur coat for Santa Claus can be made from cotton wool, which is glued to the cone along its lower edge, on the face and the upper part of the cone. An elegant Santa Claus made from paper, made by yourself, is ready. Using a cone, using your imagination, you can make a Snow Maiden.

Santa Claus made of colored paper strips - master class

We will need: thick colored paper, white corrugated cardboard, scissors and glue.

Operating procedure:

1. Cut out 6 strips measuring 1 cm by 15 cm and 6 strips measuring 1 cm by 10 cm from red paper. Glue them into rings. We assemble a ball from 6 large rings, fastening it with glue at the top and bottom. Using small rings, we assemble a smaller ball using the same pattern. The result is the body and head of Santa Claus.
2. Cut out a small circle for the face from pink or orange paper. We cut out a mustache, beard and hat of any size from corrugated cardboard and decorate the face with them. Cut out and glue the eyes and nose. Glue the face to a small ball, which we then glue to the body. Cut out mittens and felt boots from cardboard and glue them to the craft. The New Year's symbol made from paper, created with your own hands, is ready.
