New Year does not happen without a fur-tree and not very large or small, all of which must necessarily be decorated with unusual bright, bright Christmas balls. And that your Christmas tree was original and beautiful, we will make our own Christmas balls.
Christmas toys with their own hands.
Nobody tells you to become a glass blower, you need to buy materials for decoration, single-color unbreakable Christmas balls, and everything else depends on the size of your imagination. You can paint them, you do not need to draw any stories, everyone can write a wish for the New Year, draw snowflakes. To do this, use thin brushes and acrylic paints. Instead of acrylic, take gouache and mix it with PVA glue. Suitable paint-gels with sparkles, and that the ball looked elegant, tie wrapping wrap around his neck.
You can decorate with lace and cloth Christmas balls. A simple option would be to make a ball in a bag of cloth. Take a square piece of silk or satin, put the ball in its center, collect the corners of the fabric together and tie it with a ribbon. Or we will sew this piece of fabric with paillettes, beads and so on. We decorate the ball with applique made of lace or fabric. Instead of the fabric, we can use foil.
Option of decoration will be if we rub with a silicate glue the ball and tightly wrap it with beads so that no lumens remain. We use old beads, or string beads or beads on a string, and they should be all the same size, so that you can evenly wrap the ball. Then attach the loop for hanging.
The original fur-tree balls will be made even without the stockpiles. We use burned bulbs, but they need to work very carefully, and it is better not to trust small children with the production of toy bulbs, since they are made of brittle glass. Light bulbs can be painted with acrylic paints, then we close the cap and attach the ribbon. The cap is closed with a "skirt" made of fabric or colored paper, with a wide ribbon with a bow. We will close the socle base with the "bucket" of the Snowman, the "hat" of Santa Claus and so on.
We make Christmas balls from eggs. On both sides of the chicken egg, make a hole with an awl or needle and gently blow out their contents. After that, the egg is well rinsed, rinsed with water and vinegar, carefully dried, so that the shell could not crack. We decorate this shell in different ways: we will paint with paint or felt-tip pens, we will make a little man, we will decorate with applique, it all depends on you. To hang this ball, make a loop. We take a double thread, we extend from one hole of a ball to another. And in the lower part of it we'll tie a knot, and in the upper part we'll make a noose.
With the help of knitting needles or a hook we will tie beautiful toys, it can be different flowers, balls, figurines. Let's take a few knitted colors on a round base, we'll get unusual holiday balls.
Toys from pompoms.
Let's make a pompon out of the thread, the child will take pleasure in participating in this lesson, using this technique you can create different products. To do this, cut out small parts from felt or cardboard, glue them to the pom-pom and now the toy is ready, and turn the pompon into a fluffy kitten, a fun bunny, a funny chicken. From pompoms we will make a snow mat under the tree, a fluffy garland. We can make a Christmas tree out of pompoms, twist a spiral wire frame, and attach green pompoms to it.
Stitched toys.
From sintepona, foam rubber, cotton wool, fur, fabrics and various decorations, beads, buttons, we will create very beautiful Christmas toys with our own hands, which will please any kid. It can be Santa Claus with Snow Maiden, trains, cars, Christmas trees, snowmen.
Usually young mothers are faced with such a question, what can decorate the tree. Tinsel, plastic toys, glass toys are dangerous for the baby. And then a real find can be soft toys. You can decorate the tree with soft toys that are in your house, and you can make them yourself. If you decorate a Christmas tree with funny bunnies, it will delight your child and guests. Zaychikov can be sewn, wonderful bunnies are made from socks and cotton pantyhose and will bring joy to the kids.
Openwork toys
Openwork, weightless, beautiful toys will do by our own hands. Elegant and weightless look like a spider web. On the balloon, wind the threads, greased with glue. Within a day, this design dries up, then pierce the ball and remove. There remains such an openwork bead. Before winding the threads on the ball, we lubricate it with oil, we wind the threads in different directions, it turns out to be interesting. For this use threads of different thickness, texture and color. Ready bead decorate with different beads, sequins, sequins.
Any single-colored ball is decorated with a rim of decorative braid, lace, from old fashion jewelry we will make beautiful pendants. Openwork snowflakes, crocheted and starched will look great, as decor elements and as napkins on the festive table.
The toys from the salted dough are simple in execution, and they do not lose to toys from plastic. They can be left in kind, or you can color them.
