With the approach of winter and New Year's celebrations, schoolchildren begin to be given assignments regarding the preparation of winter holiday crafts for exhibitions and for decorating classrooms. Let's see step by step what crafts for the New Year 2018 you can make for school yourself or with the help of mom and dad?

We will consider the most original and magical ideas step by step and we will understand all the details and subtleties of the creative process.

The article provides several master classes with detailed description working on a craft. All that remains is to prepare everything you need for work and follow the instructions.

New Year's snow globe

One of the most amazing and fabulous crafts that you can make with your own hands for school for the New Year 2018 is a snow globe. We have all seen such balls many times and all the time, as if spellbound, we looked at the whirling snowflakes, and the mood became festive, New Year's. We suggest making such a ball yourself. It's quite simple and incredibly interesting.

First, let's prepare everything you need:

1. Glass jar with lid. You can buy a jar specifically for crafts, choosing it in the desired shape and size, or you can choose one from those you have at home. For example, a jar baby food or any glass jar with a screw-on lid from canned food.
2. Any small figurine, such that it fits in a jar and on the lid with its base. You can take a ready-made figurine, for example, from a kinder surprise, or make your own figurine from plasticine. But in this case, it will need to be covered with clear nail polish so that snowflakes or glitter do not stick to it.

What you will need for work:

• glycerin (sold at the pharmacy);
• distilled water (sold at any gas station);
• plasticine;
• thermal glue, “Moment Crystal” glue;
• glitter, white pieces of plastic (sold in a nail art store);
• wooden stick (you can use a sushi stick). We will use it to stir the solution;
• a small piece of lace for decoration.

When everything is ready, let's get creative:

1. First you need to attach the figurine to the lid of the jar. To do this, we will make a small stand in the form of a slide from plasticine so that the figure does not go deeper into the lid. We attach the plasticine slide with thermal glue to the inside of the jar lid. Then we attach the figure itself to the slide using thermal glue. Here it is important to check that the figurine on the lid fits well into the neck of the jar. If the plasticine gets in the way when screwing on the lid, it needs to be cut off a little.
2. Now we make a solution with sparkles and snowflakes. To do this, fill the jar a quarter full with glycerin and add distilled water, but not to the edge of the jar, but leaving a little space so that the figurine fits there and the water does not go over the edges. Afterwards, stir the solution thoroughly with a wooden stick. At first the solution will become slightly cloudy, but very quickly, in just a couple of seconds, it will become transparent. Now pour sparkles and snowflakes from white plastic into it and mix again.
3. Next, you need to thoroughly wipe the neck of the jar from moisture and glitter, coat it with Moment Crystal glue to seal it and immediately screw the lid on tightly.
4. We turn our ball over onto the lid. It's almost ready. It remains to decorate the base, that is, the lid beautiful lace. We cut the lace to a length that is equal to the diameter of the lid and glue it with thermal glue.

That's all. A wonderful DIY craft for the New Year 2018 is ready for school. She turned out beautiful, magical and bewitching.

Textile dog Tilda - patron of next year

For those who are a little familiar with a needle and thread or can sew on sewing machine, there is a great opportunity to show off your skills at school and submit a Tilda-style dog sewn for the New Year for a craft competition.

So on creative competition For school, you can make a craft with your own hands in the form of a symbol of the New Year 2018.

Let's take a closer look at how to make a beautiful, cute dog out of fabric.

Let's prepare everything that will be useful in the work:

• fabric for the dog's body. It could be thick knitwear, felt, bike or any other, pretty thick fabric white(as in the video). Or the color you wish;
• pink fabric for the inside of the ears. It is better to take thin cotton;
• cotton threads for knitting pink and white. From these we will knit clothes for the dog and a nose;
• stuffing for soft toys. It is better to take padding polyester by the meter.
• wooden stick for stuffing parts. You can use a sushi stick.
• a pair of small black beads for the eyes.
• thread and needle.
• pattern of a dog. It can be transferred to paper directly from the video screen.

Let's get started:

1. We transfer the pattern to the fabric folded in half. We make the ears separately, one side on white fabric, the other on pink fabric.
2. We sew all the parts on the machine, leaving unstitched places for turning and stuffing the parts.
3. Now we cut out the parts, make small notches in a circle so that when turning them out, the seams do not pull.
4. We turn all the parts inside out and stuff them with padding polyester quite tightly. All parts except the ears. The ears just need to be turned out and ironed.
5. Now carefully sew up the places left for stuffing.
6. Sew on the dog's hind legs and tail with a needle and thread.
7. Now you need to knit her a beautiful T-shirt. We knit a small pipe in a circle with a mesh pattern and put it on the dog, and then sew on the front legs.
8. Can be linked beautiful flower from pink and white yarn and decorate the front of the T-shirt under the muzzle with it.
9. Sew on the dog's ears and eyes.

Magic card 4 in 1

Now let's look at another option for crafts for the New Year 2018, which you can make with your own hands for school, for an exhibition, or as a gift to loved ones. This is a magical 4D postcard.

Before you start creating an amazing card, let's prepare everything you might need:

• white thick A4 paper;
• ruler;
• scissors, stationery knife;
• double-sided tape, glue (PVA or stationery);
• simple pencil.

Let's get started:

1. Make markings on the reverse side of the sheet with a pencil. On each side we measure 10 cm segments and draw lines through this marking. It turned out 6 squares 10/10. Divide these squares equally in half. We got rectangles.
2. Mark dotted lines along the rectangles, dividing them in half.
3. We cut out 8 marked rectangles 5 by 10 cm only along those lines that are drawn continuously, do not cut the dotted lines.
4. We bend the resulting rectangles so that the edges are bent in half to the dotted line (as in the video). So we bend all 8 rectangles.
5. Now we begin to glue all the parts. We do everything as indicated in the video. We glue 2 parts with the wrong side up, and we glue the parts on the sides with the wrong side down.
6. We apply glue to strictly defined places (they are indicated with a pencil in the video). Thus we glue 4 parts.
7. Now we turn the figure inside out. It folds along the lines.
8. We glue 2 more parts in the same way as shown in the video.
9. We open the doors again and do another addition. Align and glue the remaining 2 parts face up. We apply glue where shown in the video on all parts.
10. Let the glue dry well.

Check if you did everything correctly. The card should open easily with the doors in the middle and form even squares. If there are any irregularities, they need to be trimmed with scissors so that they do not interfere with opening.

The postcard mechanism is ready, all that remains is to decorate it. On each of the 4 surfaces of the card, draw different pictures or New Year's inscriptions.

Video tutorial on making New Year's cards to school:

This amazing craft for school will not leave anyone indifferent. The technique is quite simple, you just need to carefully and carefully glue all the parts. Well, then drawing 4 pictures on spreads is generally simple and interesting. You can choose any New Year's story or write bright congratulations Happy New Year.

Creative Christmas tree

Snowman made of threads

Effective and very beautiful craft For the New Year 2018, you can do it yourself for school using simple cotton threads. We suggest making a snowman.

Let's prepare everything we need to create a New Year's openwork snowman:

• hot glue gun;
• felt in red white and orange colors;
• buttons for eyes and for decorating a snowman;
• twigs for handles and brooms;
• a little synthetic padding for a stand in the form of a snowdrift.

When everything is prepared, let's start working on the snowman:

1. First we make balls for the snowman's body. To do this you need to inflate Balloons different sizes. The biggest one, the smaller one and the little one. It is better to wrap these balls in cellophane so that the threads do not stick to them later. Now we pass the thread through a bottle of glue and randomly wrap the balls. Afterwards, you need to blot the wrapped balls with glue again and leave them to dry, preferably overnight or for a day. After they have dried, deflate the balls and carefully remove them from the thread balls.
2. We glue the openwork thread balls together with thermal glue. The biggest one is at the bottom, the smallest one is at the top.
3. The snowman is ready, all that remains is to decorate it. We take the twigs and glue the handles.
4. From felt we cut out a nose with a carrot (we make a cone from a semicircle) and a smile. Glue buttons instead of eyes.
5. Glue the buttons in the form of a fastener.
6. We make a cap and a scarf from felt and put them on the snowman. For reliability, you can secure it with glue.
7. Now we make a whisk and glue it to the handle of the snowman and the edge to the bottom ball.
8. We place the snowman on a padding polyester base that can be glued to cardboard.
9. You can decorate the snowman to your liking.

The snowman turned out great! At the school, at the exhibition of handmade crafts for the New Year 2018, it will take its rightful place.

Crafts from tubes:

What could be more magical than a Christmas tree during the New Year and Christmas? 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.

For some, the nutcracker defeats the king of mice, for others, snowflakes dance in circles. We decided to compose a fairy tale about a Christmas tree elf. It will constantly change, acquire new plots, be supplemented with characters and, most likely, 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 the fluffy fir branches, there lived a little Christmas tree elf...

Like this fairytale house We decided to make it with our own hands today. Join us, because the fairy tale is already beginning!

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

To make the appearance of our masonry more realistic, we need to imitate traces of cement mortar in the seams. And the shells will hold on tighter this way. We will cover the walls with regular 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 attach a pipe, because there will probably be a fireplace or stove in the house so that our elf can live warm and can cook magic potions or porridge.

Let's twist the pipe from a small piece cardboard and cover it with lentils, as if it were a fireproof pebble.

To make it even more important, we will make a ladder for the roof. She's from the same toilet paper, twisted into flagella. Yes, we almost forgot about the frame for the window, let's cut it out of cardboard.

Now let's put the roof in place and paint the facade of the house. We will do this with regular gouache. Although acrylic will be better, it does not need to be varnished.

All that remains is to glue the finished fairytale house onto the base. Since we planned that our elf will have light in the window, we will cut a hole in the base for the LED.

We wanted to decorate the “yard”. Snow is cotton wool, and a snowman is made of it. A Christmas tree is that “torn off” cone, painted in green color. This is not necessary; perhaps your elf will live in a hanging house. Then only the bottom and the loop will be useful.

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

Decoupage - decorating a bottle of champagne for the New Year

A gift made with your own hands is always original and unique. Do you want to surprise your loved ones? Decoupage 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 from stickers. To do this, put it in a container of warm water and leave it for a while.

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 use a piece of sponge (“smack it”).

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

We remove the two bottom layers from the napkin, and lay the top one front side down on the stationery file. Carefully pour some water over the drawing, straightening 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.

We dilute PVA glue with water in a ratio of one to one. Apply this solution to the entire surface with the pattern using a brush. Its 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, take fine sandpaper (preferably “zero”) and carefully sand the contours of the napkin. We also process those places where unevenness has formed.

Next, take a sponge or a piece of foam rubber, dip it in acrylic paint, and “smack” it along the edges of the pattern fragment. In this way we try to disguise the transition from the napkin to the main surface of the bottle.

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

DIY New Year's snowflake

The New Year holidays are approaching and New Year and Christmas motifs are increasingly heard in our creativity. I suggest knitting a small snowflake that can be used to decorate children’s mittens and hats, and by attaching a loop to the snowflake, you can hang it on Christmas tree. This snowflake is knitted very quickly and easily. Even a novice knitter can handle this job.

Materials and tools:

Karachay acrylic yarn of white or blue color. I took this yarn so that the loops could be seen better. 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;

СС2Н - double crochet stitch.

We will complete the entire drawing in one row. Let's start by casting on four chain stitches. We close 4 VPs into a ring with a connecting loop. Next, we collect 3 VP.

We knit 1 CC2H into a ring.

We knit a chain of 4 VPs.

And we close the chain of 4 VPs with a connecting loop to the beginning of the chain. We dial 5 VP and close to the same point. Next 4 VP and a connecting loop to the same point. We knit 4 VP to move to the next ray of the 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 VP, one more loop remains from each unknitted CC2H.

We knit three loops on the hook in one step.

We close chains of 4, 5, 4 VPs with a connecting loop in common top double crochets. After each ray we knit a chain of 4 VPs. We complete the motif with a connecting loop in the first ray. We cut the thread and fasten it.

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

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

Plasticine mittens - winter craft

What could be warmer and more pleasant than warm woolen mittens that warm your hands on a frosty day. If you make them with your own hands, for example, from plasticine, then such a craft can rightfully be considered a winter craft. With these mittens you can catch the magic winter's 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, copies of Christmas trees, Father Frost and Snow Maiden are usually made. The mittens offered are unique, the craft is not similar to others. And it will be all the more interesting to make it with children, especially since it is so simple.

What you need to use to sculpt mittens:

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

How to make mittens from plasticine
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 there are snowdrifts on the streets, the sun shines brightly, but does not warm. We definitely buy new accessories for ourselves and never go out without taking this important thing.

First, make soft pellets to create the top of the craft. You need 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, on the contrary, round and smooth with your fingers. Lock your palm and thumb together. Smooth out the joint. The body of the craft itself is ready. You shouldn't stop at this stage either. You need to act quickly while the plasticine is still warm. Now we need to create a knitted texture.

Make the bottom part - blue cuffs for accessories. Pull two blue pieces into flat cakes.

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

Instead of lace, something knitted, such as a napkin or even socks, will also work. Experiment and be surprised, because this is what it is unusual way 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.

Pin the mittens together to complete your craft project.

Interesting winter option for children's creativity it is done very quickly. In the process of work, children will learn not only to create parts different shapes and size from plasticine, but also to create unusual relief patterns on a smooth surface. Now think about what other plasticine-knitted items you can make. For example, model a hat or sweater using the same scenario.

New Year's deer made of felt - DIY craft

New Year's deer is a very common symbol of the upcoming holiday. Soft toy in the form of this cute animal, made with your own hands, can serve as great decoration New Year's tree, as well as a pleasant souvenir given from the bottom of my heart.

The process of sewing 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 will need the following materials:

1. Medium density felt, brown or gray;
2. paper;
3. pen or thin chalk;
4. threads to match the felt or in a contrasting color;
5. padding polyester or other filler;
6. ready-made eyes or beads;
7. sequins, beads or beads.

Draw the silhouette of a deer on paper or print out a ready-made template and cut it out.

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

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

Using a double crochet (dc), we knit a “flower”, trying to distribute all the stitches evenly.

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

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

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 padding polyester and sew the blanks together, starting with the horns. It should be noted that there is no need to stuff the toy with padding polyester too tightly, as this may cause the seams to become uneven.

New Year's souvenir is ready!

DIY candles - crafts for the New Year

Candles have always been an integral attribute of any holiday, romantic evening. After each celebration, you most likely throw away candle stubs that could have been put to good use. If you have accumulated candle stubs, you can make new candles with your own hands.

Necessary materials:

• Old candles;
• toothpicks;
• small sticks;
• molds.

You need to melt the wax until it becomes completely liquid. To do this, place the wax in molds in a water bath.

Preparing the molds.

When the wax has already become liquid, pour it into the prepared molds.

You can use a cotton thread as a wick, or take it from old candles. To prevent it from floating, we take a metal holder from the old candle and attach the wick.

Then we immerse it in wax.

Place any stick on top to secure the wick.

Let the candles dry for a day.

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

To decorate the candles, I used gold ribbon and paper napkin. After I wrapped the candles, they became more festive.

To decorate the candle in the glass, I used a Christmas tree decoration, tying it to the glass.

So in a simple way You can make New Year's candles with your own hands. You can experiment with different molds, or decorate finished candles with coffee beans.

1. Multi-colored knitting threads;
2. a cylinder made of thin cardboard;
3. white acrylic paint;
4. dry branch without leaves;
5. glass bottle of wine or champagne.

Let's make hats from threads. Take a cardboard cylinder and cut it into rings 1.5–2 cm wide. You can also make rings yourself from thick paper, fixing them with a stapler.

Cut 30 cm of thread and fold it in half. You will need approximately 30–40 such pieces, depending on the diameter of the ring.

Thread the thread, folded in half, into the paper ring. Thread its ends into the resulting loop and tighten the resulting knot.

Tie the remaining threads on the ring in the same way. Try to place them close to each other, avoiding the formation of gaps.

When the ring is completely braided, thread the ends of the threads through it, as if turning it inside out.

Tie the ends of the threads using an additional thread of the same color.

Trim the ends of the threads, forming a neat pompom on the hat.

Straighten the cap from the inside, making it more voluminous. Fluff the pompom.

Make hats in other colors in the same way.

Let's make a small winter composition. To do this, you will need a small dry branch, which can be found in the park.

Paint it white, creating the effect of a snow-covered winter branch. Leave it to dry.

Take an empty one glass bottle and apply 2 coats of acrylic paint evenly, being careful not to leave very visible brush strokes. Let it dry completely.

Putting the composition together. Place the branch in the bottle. Put caps on small branches. You can decorate the branch using threads and beads.

To make the decoration we will take the following materials:

• Willow twigs (medium thickness);
• New Year's tinsel;
• cones;
• items for decorating cones (paints, glitter, beads, rhinestones, etc.);
• moment glue, thin copper wire or nylon threads for attaching decorative elements.

Important! To prevent the vine from breaking, you need to weave it as soon as it is broken. If the branches dry out, nothing will work.

Let's start forming the wreath.

We take several thin branches (long ones) at once and form a ring, intertwining them with each other.

If it doesn't work out right away correct form, don’t be upset, with subsequent weaving the ring will even out. It is necessary to weave the vine by securing the end between the rods of the previous circle.

Thus, we continue to weave the wreath to the required size.

The basis for the festive wreath is ready, now you can move on to the decoration.

We take tinsel and wrap the finished ring so that the gaps are visible. At the bottom of the wreath we leave a little space for attaching decorative cones.

Let's move on to decorating the cones. To do this, you can use everything you have enough imagination for (paints, rhinestones, beads, ribbons, glitter, and so on).

The end result was these beautiful decorative cones.

To attach the cones to the wreath, you can use instant glue, thin copper wire or nylon thread. In my case, moment glue was used.

That's it, the wreath holiday decoration home ready. A minimum of effort and time was spent, but maximum pleasure was gained from spending time.

You can even get the whole family involved. This way everything will be much more interesting.
