Christmas tree toy “Star”

For New Year 2022, the main decoration of the house is, of course, the Christmas tree.
Therefore, all the attention of your visiting guests will be focused on it. Considering this important moment, it’s worth putting some effort into her festive outfit. Beautiful colorful toys can, of course, be purchased at the nearest store, which on the eve of the New Year holidays will simply be overflowing with such products. But it’s still better to create the image of a New Year tree with the help of original toys made with your own hands from any materials you like, especially paper. It is so malleable that people have learned to make wonderful origami crafts from it, even for New Year’s Eve. Let's create something interesting and simple, for example, a star for a Christmas tree, which is perfect for beginners. To work you will need:

colored thick paper or cardboard A4 format - 8 sheets;
a simple pencil;
scissors;
decorative thread.

Progress:

Take thick colored paper or cardboard and fold it in half. We have a rectangle.
We bend the corner of its small left side, pulling it towards the center of the folded paper, then you need to straighten it. Now we pull the larger side of our rectangle to its second parallel side. We straightened out the sheet of paper again and thus we got the intersection of lines, which will be our center of the star. Let's mark it with a simple pencil.
Next, take the corner of its right side and pull it to our marked center. Iron it thoroughly.
We attach the right corner, which we connected to the center, to its opposite side and fix it with a finger, pressing the resulting line. We have a kind of quadrangle.
We connect the right side of the paper, on which we marked the center, to the resulting quadrangle, tightly pressing the straight connecting lines to each other. We also got a triangle this way.
We fold two geometric shapes in half along the joint line, bending them inside out and carefully ironing all sides with a finger.
Then we take scissors and trim the excess edge of the figure so that we get a small triangle.
After this, we open our paper product, completely straightening it. As a result, we have formed a five-pointed structure, on which we draw all the fold lines with a simple pencil. Now it will be easier for us to navigate and assemble this New Year’s craft with our own hands.
When you finish using the origami technique, don’t forget to attach a shiny thread to our five-pointed star, as this is a Christmas tree decoration.

This is how, with hard work, you can create a wonderful decoration for your Christmas tree for the New Year 2022. To help you quickly understand this sensitive matter, we provide our training video.

Snowflake made from origami modules

A snowflake created from origami modules will certainly be a very beautiful craft for the New Year 2022. Naturally, making such a miracle with your own hands will require a significant amount of time, and especially effort. But this should not scare you, because the end result is a fragile and elegant product made from ordinary paper. Let's see how all this is done at home.

To work you will need:

white paper, A4 format - 5 sheets;
blue paper, A4 format - 4 sheets;
pencil;
ruler;
scissors;
glue.

Progress:

To create this craft, you need to create 150 white and 120 blue modules.

Let's start making origami modules with our own hands. To do this, take all the A4 sheets and divide them into 32 rectangular parts, then cut them out.
Next, take one resulting rectangle and fold it in half horizontally, and then vertically, marking the center line.
We bend the upper right and left corners to the center, after which we turn the workpiece over and bend the lower right and left corners.
We lift the lower part, fold it in half and get the first module. We manufacture subsequent modules in the same way.
Having completed the work of creating the modules, we immediately begin assembling them. In order to securely fix all the parts of our product, we use glue. We combine 2 rows of 6 white elements into a ring, inserting them into each other.
Be careful, as the number of modules is doubled on the third row. This is achieved by dressing two by one, resulting in 12 modules.
To make our decoration look more elegant for the New Year 2022, we decorate it with blue modules, starting to introduce them from the fourth row. It is identical to the previous one, so at this stage there are also 12 modules.
In the next row we must double the number of elements in the row. This means that in the fifth row there will be 24 modules. We do the next sixth row in exactly the same way as the fifth.
So we have done part of the work. Now we proceed to the seventh row, in which we collect 24 modules, alternating the combination in a circle: 3 blue, 1 white module. 6 sharp blue corners appear.
Next we work only with blue rays. To each of the three blue modules we add two more, and then one part. A narrowing occurs.
Now we are making white arches, which consist of 17 modules. In the seventh row, white modules remained - this is the basis of the arches. One module is taken, another pocket is put on it, thus framing the blue beam. It remains to collect 5 more white arches.
And the last stage of assembling a snowflake with your own hands using the modular origami technique is composing small rays. They are made of 5 modules, inserted like a column and three modules on top, which make the tips fluffy. We attach them to our craft. There you go! This will certainly be the most wonderful holiday decoration for everyone, especially as your children will find it interesting.

Beautiful wreath

Everyone is familiar with wreaths made from fir branches, which have already become traditional Christmas crafts in 1st grade. Their advantage is that a first grader can express himself in decorating it. To make a wreath, prepare:

artificial spruce branches;
glue gun;
cardboard;
plates of different diameters;
scissors and pen;
materials for decoration (ribbons, beads, balls, etc.).

From thick cardboard (take an unnecessary box or lid) using two plates with different diameters, cut out a ring. Then, using a glue gun, we glue the branches of the Christmas tree so that they “wrap around” the ring. The preparation is done.

Now you can show your imagination and decorate the wreath: with New Year's balls, garlands, and beads. Such a product can also become a DIY craft for a school anniversary; all that remains is to attach a loop and hang it on the door of the educational institution. Everyone will be delighted with such a gift!

Volumetric snowflakes

It’s great to decorate your interior using origami crafts for the New Year 2022 with your own hands, thus making a three-dimensional snowflake from colored paper. This is a fairly traditional method that is used in probably every home. This New Year's decoration is very easy and quick to make, you just need to choose the material at hand in the color and texture you like, because your festive mood and a pleasant atmosphere in the house depend on this, which is very important for your children.

To do this you will need:

Colored paper;
Scissors;
Glue;
Thread.

Progress:

To get a three-dimensional snowflake created using the origami technique, you need to create two parts of this craft and connect them together. First you need to cut out a small square and fold it in half, and then do the same.
To make the snowflake round, the edges of the part need to be rounded. And all over the surface of the snowflake you need to cut out various patterns. When it is unfolded, you will get a beautiful drawing made by yourself. And after the two parts are connected, an unusual three-dimensional snowflake will come out. You can hang it on the Christmas tree for the New Year 2022, but make not just one copy, but several, and, preferably, of different shapes and colors. This way you will achieve liveliness and a dazzling effect. Of course, snowflakes can be created in other ways, but this craft instruction is considered the simplest and most accessible, especially for beginners. Watch our video tutorial to understand this work.

Original vytynanki

It's good if you know how to handle a brush and paints. Then it would be possible to paint the windows with frosty patterns made from tooth powder. And if there is no talent, but there is a desire, the windows are decorated with “vytynanki”.

In fact, New Year's vytynanki are silhouettes of animals, Christmas trees and entire compositions made of thin Whatman paper. Printed stencils are carefully cut out with nail scissors and molded onto glass using soap or PVA.

The list of handmade creations is endless. If it’s difficult to come up with a design, templates for creative New Year’s toys, which abound on the Internet, will always come to the rescue. An ordinary product looks beautiful if you sprinkle it with sparkles, glue tinsel or small rhinestones.

Christmas garland made of colored paper

In a rather original and beautiful way, you can transform your home for the New Year 2022 with a garland consisting of three-dimensional figurines made with your own hands from ordinary paper of any color. This interesting craft is quite easy to make using the origami technique. You just need to prepare the necessary materials at hand, such as:

colored paper;
scissors;
glue;
stapler;
threads

Progress:

First you need to make the base of the garland. To do this, strips 5 cm long and 1 cm wide should be cut out of colored paper. Then these parts should be fastened into a ring, connecting to each other.
After this, we need to start working on creating decorations for our paper crafts. To do this, you need to cut the same strips as for the garland. For one toy you need to use 2 parts. They need to be folded like an accordion and fastened in the middle with a stapler. Then the resulting decoration must be unfolded, and the disconnected edges must also be connected using a stapler. It is these decorative elements that are added to the garland. If you hang such a product around the room for the New Year 2022, it will look great. And considering that this work was done with one’s own hands, and even using the origami technique, which, at first glance, seems difficult and inaccessible to many due to the abundance of small details in it, which require maximum perseverance and patience to create, it becomes more value in the eyes of your environment.
