DIY beautiful Christmas toys: Best ideas for the New Year 2019

On the eve of the New Year, I especially want to create an atmosphere of comfort and a festive mood in my home. To do this, it is not necessary to purchase expensive jewelry, because if you want, you can make them yourself even from improvised materials. We have prepared for you a few simple workshops with which you can make stylish Christmas toys with your own hands.

 

Volumetric paper toys

To create amazing volumetric Christmas tree toys, we will prepare the following:

• thick paper or cardboard with a thematic pattern;
• scissors;
• compass;
• pencil;
• glue in the gun;
• hole puncher;
• dense thread or ribbon matching in color.

We will prepare blanks for creating a Christmas tree toy. To do this, draw circles of the same size on paper or cardboard with a compass and cut them out. The result should be twenty-one blanks.

We will use one of them as a template. To do this, fold it in half and slightly shift it to the side, as shown in the photo. We form a triangle and cut off all the excess parts, leaving it as a template. We take the workpiece, put a triangle in it and slightly bend the remaining edges. Alternately, repeat the same with each.

When the workpieces are formed, turn on the gun with glue in the socket and give it a few minutes to heat.

We take ten blanks and stack them as shown in the photo.

Carefully glue the workpieces together and leave them to dry completely.

We glue the first and last workpiece together. This design will be the middle part of the Christmas tree toy.

The remaining ten blanks are laid out as in the photo. They will be the top and bottom of the toy.

Glue them and leave until completely dry.

Gently glue the upper and lower parts. We leave the toy for several hours so that each part is completely dry.

On the finished toy, we make a hole with a hole punch and we pass a ribbon or a dense thread into it.

Such toys can be of any size and color. Moreover, you can even use photos as cardboard. Then Christmas toys will be really special and dear to the heart.

Christmas toys from felt

Cute soft felt toys will be a great decoration for the Christmas tree.

The following materials will be required:

• felt of any shade;
• scissors;
• pencil;
• beads;
• strong thread;
• needle.

On felt, draw the necessary shapes. In this master class, this is a Christmas tree and a snowflake.

Carefully cut out all the details.

At the base of the star we thread a needle with a thread.

Connect the two ends of the thread and thread them into a bead. We tie the thread into a knot.

Repeat the same to create a second Christmas tree toy.

Such cute toys will be a wonderful Christmas decoration for the Christmas tree. In addition, you can present them as a small presentation to your loved ones or colleagues. Believe me, each of them will appreciate your creativity.

Unusual Christmas tree toy

You can even make an amazing New Year’s toy from a transparent ball. It is only necessary to show imagination in order to come up with the original content.

Necessary materials:

• transparent glass or plastic ball;
• scalpel or sharp clerical knife;
• pencil;
• tweezers;
• scissors;
• ribbon;
• white paper;
• watercolor paper;
• tracing paper.

We draw a sketch on plain paper, but its size should not exceed the size of the ball.

Carefully translate the drawing into tracing paper.

If desired, you can make the picture symmetrical. To do this, transfer it in a mirror image to the same tracing paper.

On one side of the tracing paper we draw the final version of the sketch.Turn it over and fix it on a sheet of watercolor paper. Carefully transfer the drawing to it.

Separate the watercolor paper with a sketch. An ideal option would be with not too clear lines.

We cut out all the details with a scalpel or a sharp clerical knife.

In the process of cutting, you can add additional details or get rid of too small.

We take out the top of the glass or plastic ball.

Using tweezers, place the picture inside the ball. If desired, you can fix the top.

We attach the upper part of the structure, and also tie a thin ribbon.

Such a Christmas tree toy will become a stylish decoration and will certainly attract the attention of your guests.

A Christmas ball can have absolutely any content. It all depends entirely on your imagination.

New Year's toys from paper

Absolutely everyone can make a beautiful festive decor for a Christmas tree. Therefore, we recommend that you make this a family tradition and together create amazing toys with your own hands.

To do this, you need the following:

• sheets with notes (you can simply print them on a printer);
• a sheet of cardboard;
• a thread;
• needle;
• a pen;
• scissors;
• buttons and beads;
• dense thread or twine;
• sewing machine;
• the cloth;
• pins
• glue.

From cardboard we make a round shape template and cut it out. The size of the template can be any. We circle it on sheets with notes and cut it out.

We bend six circles in half and glue together. We tie a dense thread or twine to the base so that the toy can be hung on a Christmas tree.

If desired, you can decorate the toy with a transparent or colored bead.

To make a toy in the form of a star, we cut out a stencil from thick cardboard.

We transfer it to sheets with notes and cut a few pieces.

We put a stencil on the fabric and draw a star, a centimeter or a half more on each side. Carefully cut the workpiece. Keep in mind that for one toy you will need two blanks of fabric and two of paper.

Sew a paper blank with a fabric using a sewing machine.

Sew a button to one of the stars. After that we connect them so that the fabric sides are inside. Between them we put twine to form a loop. We fix the structure with pins and sew.

We cut off the excess parts of the New Year’s toy.

If desired, you can decorate the product with various sequins or beads.

As you can see, making Christmas toys with your own hands is really simple. Therefore, be sure to try, experiment, express yourself in creativity and the result will pleasantly surprise you.
