That in the New Year and Christmas can be more magical than a Christmas tree. In the evening, when the lights are turned off, a fairy tale begins in the mysterious flickering of lanterns in the branches. Everyone comes up with their own magical story.

In some, the nutcracker defeats the king of mice, in others, snowflakes lead round dances. We decided to compose a fairy tale about a Christmas tree elf. It will constantly change, acquire new plots, be supplemented by characters, and most likely, it will be different every year. Only the beginning of our fairy tale will always be the same: - Once upon a time in his cozy house, among fluffy spruce branches, a little Christmas tree elf ...

Here we decided to make such a fabulous house with our own hands today. Join, because the fairy tale has already begun!

For the walls, we will take a rectangular piece from cardboard box. We cut a hole for the window, and mark the place for the door. We will strengthen the walls with "wild stone". Let's take the pieces eggshell and glue it with PVA glue.

To make our masonry look more realistic, we need to simulate traces in the seams cement mortar. Yes, and the shells will hold on tight. Tape the walls with plain gray toilet paper. When it dries, we clean off the excess, exposing the protruding parts of our “stones”.

When the scales of the cones stick well, we will fit the pipe, because there will probably be a fireplace or a stove in the house so that our elf lives in warmth and can cook magic potions or porridge.

We twist the pipe from a small piece of cardboard and glue it with lentils, as if it were a refractory pebble.

For greater importance, we will make a ladder for the roof. She is from the same toilet paper, twisted into flagella. Yes, we almost forgot about the frame for the window, cut it out of cardboard.

Now we will install the roof in place and tint the facade of the house. We will do it with ordinary gouache. Although acrylic would be better, it is not necessary to varnish it.

It remains to glue the finished fairy-tale house on the base. Since we planned that our elf will have a light in the window, we will cut a hole for the LED in the base.

We wanted to decorate the "courtyard". Snow is cotton wool, and a snowman is also made of it. The Christmas tree is that “peeled” cone, painted in green color. This is not necessary, maybe your elf will live in a hanging house. Then only the bottom and the loop will come in handy.

We made such a fabulous house with our own hands in just one evening, and the little Christmas tree elf has already begun to live its own life. For him, a bathhouse, a cellar, and even neighbors with their houses have already been invented, this is a hedgehog and a squirrel.

Decoupage - decorate a bottle of champagne for the New Year

A handmade gift is always original and unique. Do you want to surprise your loved ones? Make decoupage on a bottle of champagne. This New Year's craft will not go unnoticed.

For decoration you will need:

• A bottle of champagne;
• three-layer napkin with a New Year's motif;
• PVA glue;
• acrylic paint;
• decorations.

First of all, you need to clean the bottle of stickers. To do this, dip it in a container of warm water and leave for a while.

We cover the entire open surface of the bottle with acrylic paint. The first layer can be applied with a brush. After drying, we paint the bottle a second time, but we already use a piece of sponge (“we smack it”).

In just an hour, the acrylic paint will dry out, so you can remove the tape from the neck and proceed to the next stage of decorating. We take a napkin for decoupage and tear out the selected fragment of the picture from it.

We remove the two lower layers from the napkin, and lay the top front side down on the stationery file. Gently add some water to the drawing, smoothing out all the wrinkles.

We smooth the file with our hands. We make sure that the napkin is securely fixed on the surface, and then carefully remove the file from the bottle.

Dilute PVA glue with water in a ratio of one to one. This solution is applied to the entire surface with a pattern with a brush. Her movements should be from the center to the edges, we try to smooth out all the wrinkles and expel the bubbles.

After the glue has completely dried, we take finely dispersed sandpaper (preferably “zero”) and carefully sand the contours of the napkin. We also process those places where irregularities have formed.

Next, we take a sponge or a piece of foam rubber, dip it in acrylic paint, “smack” along the edges of the fragment of the picture. Thus, we try to mask the transition from the napkin to the main surface of the bottle.

The work is almost completed, it remains only to add some "zest". For example, stick a ribbon on the neck. The easiest way to do this is with a glue gun. The braid will not only complete the entire ensemble, but also close the transition from paint to foil.

DIY Christmas snowflake

The New Year holidays are approaching and the motives of the New Year and Christmas are increasingly heard in our work. I propose to tie a small snowflake with which you can decorate children's mittens and a hat, and by attaching a loop to the snowflake, you can hang it on Christmas tree. This snowflake knits very quickly and easily. Even a beginner knitter will cope with this work.

Materials and tools:

For knitting, Karachai acrylic yarn of white or blue color. I took this yarn so that the loops could be better seen. Hook number 3 is suitable for this yarn.

You can use thinner yarn, then the snowflake will be even smaller.

Abbreviations used in the text:

VP - air loop;

CC2H - double crochet.

We will complete the entire pattern in one row. Let's start with a set of four air loops. We will close 4 VPs into a ring with a connecting loop. Next, we collect 3 VP.

We knit in the ring 1 CC2H.

We knit a chain of 4 VP.

And we close the chain of 4 VPs with a connecting loop to the beginning of the chain. We collect 5 VP and close to the same point. Then 4 VPs and a connecting loop to the same point. We knit 4 VPs to move to the next ray of snowflake.

We knit 2 CC2H with a common top: On the hook there is one loop from the last VP of the chain of 4 VPs, one more loop remains from each untied СС2Н.

We knit three loops on the hook in one step.

We close the chains of 4, 5, 4 VP with a connecting loop to the common top of the columns with two crochets. After each ray, we knit a chain of 4 VPs. We complete the motif with a connecting loop in the first ray. The thread is cut and fastened.

If you want to use a snowflake as a Christmas tree toy, you will need to tie a loop and starch the product.

Snowflake is ready! The master class was prepared by Svetlana Chalkina.

Plasticine mittens - winter crafts

What could be warmer and more pleasant than warm woolen mittens that keep your hands warm on a frosty day. If you make them with your own hands, for example, from plasticine, then such a craft can rightfully be considered winter. With such mittens you can catch the magic winter fairy tale, because they are made with love and will definitely come in handy as a gift made from the heart.

On the eve of the New Year, they usually make copies of Christmas trees, Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden. The proposed mittens are unique, the craft is not like the others. And the more interesting it will be to make it with the children, especially since it is quite simple.

What you need to use for sculpting mittens:

• white and blue plasticine;
• a small strip of lace to create a believable knitted texture;
• toothpick.

How to mold plasticine mittens
The white and blue set is a very good option for sculpting the chosen craft. Mittens should be woolen, knitted, cozy. They are indispensable in the cold season, when snowdrifts lie on the streets, the sun shines brightly, but does not warm. We make sure to buy ourselves new accessories and never go out without grabbing this important thing.

First, make soft pellets to create the top of the craft. It is necessary to prepare 2 balls of different sizes. The larger one will be for the palm, the smaller one for the thumb cell. Soften the plasticine in your hands and immediately proceed to the next step.

Press down the larger and smaller white pieces to form flat cakes. Then, on one side, lightly squeeze on both sides, on the other hand, on the contrary, round and smooth with your fingers. Fasten your palm and thumb together. Smooth out the seam. The body of the craft itself is ready. Don't stop at this stage either. You need to act quickly while the plasticine is still warm. Now we have to create a knitted texture.

Make the lower part - blue cuffs for accessories. Roll out two blue pieces into flat cakes.

While the plasticine on the white part of the craft has not yet frozen, make a lace surface, or rather, its imitation, using a piece of lace. Press the lace against the soft plasticine and press with a slight pressure with your fingers on its surface. After you remove the fabric, an imprint will remain on the soft surface, which will be very similar to the desired texture.

Instead of lace, something knitted is also suitable, for example, a doily or even socks. Experiment and be surprised, because this is such an unusual way of applying a relief pattern to a plasticine surface.

Make both mittens textured. On a blue background, use a toothpick to also create a knitting effect by drawing small notches.

Fasten the mittens to complete the planned craft.

Interesting winter version for children's creativity performed very quickly. In the process of work, children will learn not only to create parts of various shapes and sizes from plasticine, but also to create unusual relief patterns on a smooth surface. Now think about what else you can do with plasticine-knitted. For example, model a hat or a sweater according to the same scenario.

New Year's deer made of felt - DIY craft

The New Year's deer is a very common symbol of the upcoming holiday. A handmade soft toy in the shape of this cute animal can serve as an excellent decoration for the New Year tree, as well as a pleasant souvenir given from the bottom of your heart.

The process of tailoring a deer is a very exciting activity and, at the same time, quite simple, which even a primary school student can handle.

For work, we need the following materials:

1. Felt medium density brown or gray;
2. paper;
3. pen or thin crayon;
4. threads in the tone of felt or a contrasting color;
5. synthetic winterizer or other filler;
6. ready-made eyes or beads;
7. sequins, beads or beads.

We draw a silhouette of a deer on paper or print out a ready-made template, cut it out.

We transfer the image to the felt and carefully cut out in duplicate.

We are preparing a decor that makes the deer brighter and more festive. In our case, the decoration is a snowflake, crocheted from the remains of red threads. We collect 11 air loops and close them into a ring, then we perform 14 RLS (single crochet) inside the ring.

With the help of CCH (double crochet), we knit a “flower”, trying to distribute all the columns evenly.

In the formed arcs between the dc we knit 5 dc each, between which we make arches of 10 air. loops.

We tie the resulting sbn element, knitting a pico from 3 air. loops approximately in the middle of the arch.

We iron the resulting snowflake with a hot iron, trying to give it the correct shape.

Sew a snowflake to one side of the deer. The middle of the snowflake can be decorated with sequins and beads or a button.

Glue on the eyes.

We prepare the synthetic winterizer and sew the blanks, starting with the horns. It should be noted that it is not necessary to stuff the toy with synthetic winterizer too tightly, as this can cause uneven seams.

New Year's souvenir is ready!

Then we dip it in wax.

Place any stick on top to secure the wick.

Let the candles dry overnight.

When the candles are dry, remove them from the molds. To do this, put them in boiling water for a few seconds.

• ordinary houseplants, properly decorated.

Only let the Christmas trees be not of the same type, but different in texture, shape and method of execution.

Now, toys. Made with love and imagination, they will turn your New Year into the warmest, most sincere and cozy holiday. You can wrap simple Christmas balls with shreds of fabric, knit clothes from colored yarn, paint them with acrylics, make compositions from cones, funny felt figures. Bake in the form of stars and Christmas trees with a small hole for the ribbon and hang it on the branches - both tasty and beautiful.

Usually Christmas wreaths are woven from needles or holly - an evergreen shrub with red berries and serrated prickly leaves. These plants were also used in the pre-Christian period. Evergreen leaves in winter promised the return of the sun, and sharp needles on the tips frightened off sorcerers and evil spirits.

Wrap the foam base tightly with thread, decorate with a cheerful snowman and roses from cotton pads. To make roses, cut each disk in a spiral, and fold the resulting ribbon into a tight bud.

This wreath, strictly speaking, is not even a wreath. A frame of four sawn branches was decorated with sprigs of various conifers. It turned out very elegant.
