Hello, friends!
My children and I entered the competition for the best homemade street tree toy. Today, I want to tell you and show you what toys we got.
New Year's toys on the street tree:
House clock
It took to work:
Two ceiling tiles;
ruler, pencil, scissors;
small rectangular box;
food foil;
colored foil;
small toys for decoration;
12 M&M`S sweets;
clear nail polish;
braid 60 cm;
2 tubes of glue-moment.
To get started, take a ceiling tile, put a box on it and draw a house with a pencil and a ruler. Then measure the sides and prepare blanks for the side walls, roof and floor of the house. Then cut out all the details. Cover large parts with food foil, and small ones with colored foil.
Glue the box to the front and back of the house. Cut two holes in the top of the box and thread the ribbon through them. Sew the ends together to form a loop and tuck them into the box so they stay inside the house.
Connect and glue all parts of the house. Paste with yellow foil a circle for the dial previously cut from the ceiling tile. Glue it to the house.
Coat M&M`S candies with two layers of nail polish, dry and glue instead of numbers on the dial. Cut out arrows from colored foil and glue.
Decorate the roof of the house with small toys. For this it's simple stick them on the glue-moment. The clock house is ready.
Ball of half-woolen threads
We needed:
PVA glue";
a skein of semi-woolen threads;
inflatable ball;
hook;
70 cm wide braid;
glue moment.
Making a ball of yarn is not difficult. First, inflate the balloon, then wrap it around and carefully moisten the threads in PVA glue.
To do this, the glue must be applied to the threads with a sponge, so that they become very wet. Hang the ball by a thread and let it dry well.
After the ball needs to be decorated. I decided to tie the ball with a hook. It turned out to be an unusual pattern. After the thread, again carefully moistened with PVA glue.
While the ball is drying, make a beautiful loop out of the braid, with which the ball will hang on the Christmas tree.
The next day, when the threads of the ball have dried out well, pierce it. Using a sharp object, remove the remaining balloon from the toy.
After that, carefully sew the loop to the toy and, for strength, additionally glue the braid with glue-moment.
A homemade toy for a street Christmas tree is ready.

Simple crafts from improvised materials
Of course, you have probably seen how they are made from thread and glue. christmas balls with your own hands, but why not expand the range? We make different Christmas decorations with our own hands.From yarn
This is a simple and at the same time spectacular Christmas decoration that can decorate any Christmas tree.
For manufacturing you will need:

- marker.
The template needs to be attached with pins (or ordinary toothpicks) to the porous material, and lay out the pattern you need on top - first the contour is laid out, then the interior decor. Do not cross the threads too often, the toy should be fairly flat. After you are done, dry the product and remove it from the pins, and tie a loop in the eye. If desired, you can decorate with sparkles or rain.
From wire
How to make Christmas toys with your own hands in just a couple of minutes? Use wire!
To make toys you will need:
- two types of wire - thick and thin (thin can be replaced with bright threads, for example, floss. Pure white strong threads look very nice);
- beads, beads;
- colored tape;
- pliers.
The ends of the thick wire must be twisted. You need to string beads and beads mixed on a thin wire, tie the end of a thin wire to a future Christmas tree decoration, and wrap it randomly.
When the toy is evenly wrapped, you need to wrap the free tail of the wire around the toy, and tie a ribbon in the shape of a bow - your toy is ready.
Another original idea:
Ribbon and beads
Who said that do-it-yourself New Year's toys must be done for a long time and painstakingly? Not at all. Literally in five minutes you can, which will decorate both the New Year's tree and the interior.
You will need:

The interior decor made in this way looks very attractive.
From cardboard - in a couple of minutes
Some Christmas toys made of paper or cardboard take a lot of time to make, but not in this case - here you really need a couple of minutes to make an elegant hand-made Christmas decoration.So, you will need:
- ordinary cardboard;
- some twine or thick yarn;
- glue;
- paints and brushes;
- napkin or cloth;
- varied decor.
We wrap the tree in different directions with a free tail of twine. After some pattern of threads appears on the Christmas tree, you can start gluing it with a napkin. You can tear the napkin into pieces, coat the Christmas tree well with glue, and glue it tightly with a napkin. This will give a nice texture to the future toy.
After the toy has dried, you can start painting - paint the Christmas tree in green color.
After the paint layer dries, shade the texture of the toy with a dry hard brush and white paint, and then decorate as you like.
From bright patches
Here you will need a sewing machine, but with a special desire, you can manage without it. it The best way make Christmas toys from cotton wool and fabric - just choose a fabric with a Christmas ornament, or use the one you have on hand.
Prepare some paper patterns - for example, deer, stars, gingerbread men, cubs, letters and hearts. Cut the blanks out of the fabric with your own hands, sew them in pairs, leaving a small gap (for stuffing), and through this small hole, tightly stuff the toys with cotton wool or padding polyester. It is most convenient to fill with a pencil.
Patterns can be downloaded here:
By the way, do not forget - we sew on a typewriter from the inside, but if you decide to make toys from thick fabric, then it’s better to sew with a decorative seam over the edge - a do-it-yourself toy will look simply charming and is suitable even for a home Christmas tree, even for a kindergarten - usually children make decorations for kindergarten trees themselves.
From twine and cardboard
New Year's toys made of paper and cardboard will be much more interesting if you add a couple more to them. simple materials. To make such a toy, you will need ordinary cardboard, simple paper or natural twine, a little felt or any other fabric, as well as plain paper, a pencil and a ruler, a drop of glue.
The star pattern can be downloaded here:
First, make a pattern on plain paper, and then transfer it to cardboard. Do not forget that the star must be double. Do not make the star too thin, it is better to make it from a centimeter or more. The tail of the twine is glued to the cardboard, then you need to gradually wrap the entire workpiece.
Lay the thread as tightly as possible so that there are no gaps. In order to decorate the star, make a couple of leaves and berries out of fabric and decorate one of the rays. Your decoration is ready.

To make Christmas tree decorations in the form of hats, you will need:
- a couple of toilet paper bushings (you can just glue cardboard rings together);
- remnants of colored yarn;
- beads and sequins for decoration.
The threads need to be cut into segments of approximately 20-22 centimeters. We fold each piece in half, draw the loop through the cardboard ring, and stretch the free edges of the threads through the loop. It is necessary that the thread is firmly fixed on the cardboard base. So you need to repeat until the cardboard base is hidden under the threads.
All thread tails need to be pulled through the ring so that our hat has a “lapel”.
And now we drag the free ponytails tightly with a thread and cut them in the shape of a pompom - the hat is ready! It remains only to make a loop and decorate your Christmas tree toy with sequins and sparkles.
From beads
Making a New Year's toy in the style of minimalism is easy and simple - you will need wire, beads and beads, a ribbon and a coin (you can replace it with a small candy, but it looks much more spectacular with a coin). Try to make this Christmas tree toy with your own hands, a very simple master class.
Make a loop on the wire and string green beads mixed with large beads on it - they will play the role of New Year's balls on our Christmas tree. After the wire is filled, give it the shape of a Christmas tree, folding in a spiral.
Once your tree is in shape, fold the loose end into a loop.
We cut off a piece of ribbon, form a loop for hanging from it and stretch it through the Christmas tree, and decorate the free tail with a coin (the easiest way is to stick it on double-sided tape). We tie a decorative bow on the loop for hanging - your decor is ready!
