New Year's craft ideas for 2020

In every house, among the New Year's toys, there are Christmas tree decorations made for the holiday with their own hands.

When our mothers and grandmothers were children, Christmas tree crafts were created from what was at hand: spools, threads, buttons, beads and painted paper. With the current abundance in needlework stores, such masterpieces are created that it is not a shame to give friends to friends.

Crafts for the New Year 2020

Creating crafts for the New Year 2020 with their own hands, craftsmen buy bright felt, foamiran, colored paper, beads, rhinestones. And you can do without the cost. At home, there will certainly be things and materials that are given a new life. To decorate your house in a non-standard way, let your imagination run wild! Balls mixed with bows - yesterday. Today, handmade helps to decorate the original home.

What creative personalities do not come up with New Year's trinkets from:

• From felt. This is an appliqué that even children can make. Parts of a snowman, animals, balls, bells, vegetables and fruits are cut out according to the template. Then pieces of felt are collected with glue into a composition and a loop is sewn.
• From Europe came the fashion for coniferous wreaths that are hung on the door. An interesting idea, which is mixed with creativity. Balls, ribbons, spruce cones, beads, walnut shells, spruce paws, tree twigs, buttons, coffee grains and even burlap will be used. Note! The more colors in a small composition, the worse it looks. Stick to the three-color rule: green, brown, and gold. Or red, green and burgundy.
• Plain wire is a great material for making bulky toys. To do this, nails are driven into the board along the contour (star, trees, heart) and wrapped with wire in random order. Then the nails are pulled out and - the beauty is ready! The craft can be covered with glue, sprinkled with sparkles or grated foam. Any ball or children's toy will serve as a template.
• Our great-grandmothers decorated the Christmas tree with nuts wrapped in foil, sweets and gingerbread. Why not remember the past century and create a vintage herringbone! Spray gold paint on the nuts from a can, tie loops of thread to the candies, and bake the gingerbread figures and cover with multi-colored glaze. That will be joy for your children!
• Foamiran is the perfect New Year's material. For New Year's work, they buy shiny sheets. Fruits, trees, ballerinas, felt boots, Santa Clauses and snowmen are hung all over the house and are presented to friends.
• For needlewomen with knitting needles and crochet, there is an option to decorate the spruce tree with tiny clothes. A green tree looks funny with little sweaters, hats, felt boots and scarves hanging on it.
• Sweet tooths will love surprises made from chocolates, chocolate bars and lollipops.

DIY symbol of 2020

According to the eastern calendar, a metal rat is in charge in the coming year. This means that crafts for the new year 2020 are made in the image of a mouse and its gray relative.

Of course, only a metalworker can make an iron rat. But home craftsmen do not take their fantasies. Since the metal is gray, there will be no problems with the color of the material. The mouse can be knitted, crocheted, sewn in the image of a Tilda doll. Or you can build it from mouse-colored felt.

Consider two options:

• We stock up on gray and pink felt, threads and black beads. A silhouette of a mouse is cut out of gray felt along the contour, ears, a belly and a nose are made of pink material (the stencil can be printed from the Internet). If the mouse is flat, the assembly is done with a glue gun. Beads will serve as eyes, the mustache is embroidered with black threads. For a volumetric model, two parts of the body and head are cut out, which are sewn with threads (you can use contrasting ones) and the body is stuffed with padding polyester. Ears and eyes are glued or sewn on. A cute toy is given a piece of cheese (yellow felt), a spruce twig or a heart in its paws.

• Since a mouse is a thrifty creature, a piggy bank in the form of a gray felt animal will become a practical souvenir. For the craft, you will need a cylindrical jar, gray, black and pink felt, black or white threads, beads for the eyes. A rectangle is cut out of gray felt, the height of which corresponds to the height of the can, and the width to its volume. Two more circles are cut to fit the bottom. A slot is made in one circle (for coins). Then all the parts are sewn together, a muzzle is cut out of gray felt, ears and paws are cut out of pink felt, a nose and eyes are made of black. The mustache is embroidered with black thread.

Ideas of simple crafts for the New Year to school and kindergarten

Primary school in 1980. Children cut snowflakes from a notebook sheet, glue chains from ribbons of colored paper, make colorful lanterns. The assignments have not changed much since then, only the paper has become brighter and the materials for work are more diverse.

When there is a child in the house, the New Year holidays bring adults back to childhood. They, just like kids, are waiting for a miracle, gifts and surprises. And they help their child create a New Year's toy for kindergarten or school.

The joint process of creating a New Year's craft enhances the feeling of the holiday. No need to take difficult options, stop at toys that are feasible for the kid.

1. In addition to chains and snowflakes, a child with scissors can cut a garland. To do this, a long strip of paper is folded like an accordion, the outline of the figure is applied on one side and cut out. The joints of the figures are not touched. So a friendly family is ready, which is holding hands. If a child accidentally "chicks" at the joint, do not rush to scold him: individual elements are glued to the thread and you get a vertical garland!
2. The volumetric balls that the baby can handle are made from multi-colored circles of the same size. The rounds are folded in half, and each half is glued to the next.
3. A child “blinds” a snowman from cotton wool and discs. For this, three lumps of different sizes are formed; for the stability of the structure, the elements are strung on a skewer or toothpick greased with glue. And from colored paper the snowman is made a face, a bucket and hands with a whisk.
4. An old sock will work too. A bunny, a snowman, a caterpillar are made from it. These are all simple options that do not require sewing. The eyes, mouth and nose are cut out of colored paper and glued with PVA glue.

New Year's crafts that children made with their own hands for 2020 will be a pleasant gift for grandparents.

Crafts from dough and paper

An original gift for the New Year will be souvenirs made of salted dough and paper.The dough recipe can be found on the Internet, and the finished product is painted with gouache or acrylic paints. Modeling technology is the same as from plasticine. Volumetric figures will find a place on a dresser or shelf, and flat items will decorate a herringbone.

In addition to garlands and snowflakes made of paper, you can come up with a myriad of crafts. Hanging Christmas trees with toys, snowflakes, balls from stripes are made using 3D technique. Craftsmen familiar with the art of origami create modular snowmen, deer and santa claus.

In recent years, it has become fashionable to decorate windows with paper-cut figures. The technique is simple: a drawing is printed, a contour is cut out with nail scissors and glued to the window with soap.

Hostesses who know how to hold a hook and knitting needles in their hands prepare in advance for the holiday. Craftswomen create real mini-masterpieces. They have knitted animals on the Christmas tree, Santa Claus boots with sweets, a sofa is decorated with a warm blanket and pillows with snow motifs, and in the kitchen a kettle and cups are warming themselves in knitted vests.

Master classes on handmade New Year's crafts

Balls made of threads have gained popularity in recent years. They are hung around the apartment in piles, one at a time, or garlands are collected from them. In order to make such crafts with your own hands for the new year 2020, you will need:

• 10-15 balloons;
• bright threads of different colors (bobbin or knitting, but not synthetic);
• PVA glue;
• wide brush;
• a garland of small bulbs.

The balloons are inflated to a size of 6-8 cm in diameter. The end of the thread is fixed on the tail of the ball, I coat the surface with glue and start winding the threads in a chaotic manner. Every 2-3 layers are lightly greased with glue. After winding several layers, the thread is torn off. The balls are left hanging dry for two days near the battery. Then the ball is pierced with a needle, removed, and one of the garland bulbs is inserted into the place where the tail was. In this way, all the balls are strung, the finished garland is hung on the wall, floor lamp, laid out on the windowsill and turned on.

And one more idea for independent work. Surely before the holiday, silicone stickers came across in stores. But you can make them yourself in a matter of minutes.

This will require materials:

• silicate glue;
• small sparkles or glitter of different colors;
• file for papers;
• several caps from plastic bottles;
• ballpoint pen and brush.

Draw your favorite picture on the file. If there is no artistic talent, print the drawing and attach it to the file. In the corks, mix a small amount of glue and glitter (each container has a different color). Draw a drawing and let it dry for 1-2 days. Then you need to gently pry off the edge of the drawing, carefully remove and stick to any surface.

The New Year will pass, the excitement and turmoil will subside. But there are still almost three weeks of holidays ahead. This is why adults and children love New Year's time - joy, fun from Santa Claus to Epiphany.
