Christmas decorations with own hands

Last time there was a tendency to return to the past, that is, at a time when preference was given not to factory production, but to self-made things. And Christmas decorations, made by oneself, full proof of that.

However, the desire to create something of its own, incomparable to anything, for many people sometimes remains only an impulse, in the absence of useful information. That is why today we will talk about how to make Christmas decorations with our own hands.

And now we will make Christmas toys made of papier-mache. For this, take thick paper or cardboard, some toilet paper, an old newspaper, PVA glue, paste, pin, lacquer and gouache.

Cut out the shape of the future toy from thick paper. Using this template, make several copies from the newspaper. And the more they are, the thicker the future product will be. On the form, paste the cut out copies, lubricating them with glue. If you need to make a thickening to get a three-dimensional toy, then on the penultimate layer in the right places, apply toilet paper moistened in a paste. And only after that, glue the last layer, for which it is best to use white paper because of the convenience of staining. Between the layers of the newspaper as carefully as possible stick a pin, and then dry the workpiece. As a rule, it takes about three days.

After the specified time, cover the workpiece with white gouache. And as soon as it dries, paint the toy on your own. At the final stage, cover it with varnish.

We continue to make Christmas decorations with our own hands. Take a chicken egg and use a needle to make holes in it from two opposite sides. Empty all contents. Rinse the shell under a stream of cold water and leave it to dry. Then put a beautiful New Year pattern on the shell. To the bottom of it, glue a piece of plasticine, to which you attach a thread. Your Christmas decoration is ready.

How else can you make Christmas decorations with your own hands? The next option is ideal for people who have an irrepressible imagination. Take a one-colored Christmas tree ball and decorate it with any improvised means. It can be some old lace, pieces of velvet or brocade. Surely you have some jewelry in your house. Unleash your design talent and surrender to the work entirely.

We have considered only a small part of what you can build yourself. But all the presented variants have the usual sizes. For those who want to make large Christmas toys with their own hands, we suggest the following: use plain paper to make, for example, Santa Claus or Snow Maiden. Such jewelry will not break at the fall and will look great on the New Year's beautiful tree. The sizes of the future toy completely depend on the format of the sheet. And now directly about the technology of its manufacture.

Take a sheet of colored cardboard, preferably red, and cut out a part of the circle so that later, when gluing the edges, a cone has turned out. Paint the workpiece, paint your hands, cheeks and eyes with a brush.

Then take a strip of white paper, on one side of which cut the fringe and fan it, winding it on a pencil. This will be the beard, hat, sheepskin coat and eyebrows of Santa Claus.

Twist the cylinder of the correct size for the nose from the red colored paper, then glue it between the eyes. It remains to minimize the workpiece cone and glue the edges. The Snow Maiden is made according to the same principle.

In the end, you can simply cut beautiful and original snowflakes from the paper and decorate them with a Christmas tree, as well as a room and a window.

As you can see, making toys by the New Year with your own hands is completely easy. And this process will not take much time. And as a result, you get exclusive versions of Christmas decorations!
