Step-by-step production
Step-by-step instructions for creating the base of the product:
Stand.
When the blanks are ready, you can start decorating. To do this, you need to print out the New Year's watch face. You can see examples of such pictures in the photo below. For the reverse side of the design, also print out any New Year’s background (snowflakes, lights, etc.).
Tip: it is better to print using a laser printer on glossy paper - this will make the image more beautiful.
Step-by-step decoration of blanks:
The side of the stand can also be decorated with a wide braid.
The bottom of the product must be thoroughly greased with hot glue and fixed on the stand. Now all that’s left to do is add a little decor. You need to scatter the joint between the clock and the stand with artificial fir branches. Add small Christmas tree decorations and beads to the front. Finally, all that remains is to glue the arrows.
Ready product.
Idea: Instead of making a cardboard base, you can find a small metal cookie box. This will make not only a tasty, but also a functional gift.
Gift boxes with sweets are always sold in stores on the eve of the holidays, and before the New Year they are designed accordingly. Therefore, you will have to spend much less time on production, and after that the recipient will be able to use the container to store something.
Metal boxes with cookies.
You can wrap the box around the perimeter with double-sided tape, and then simply attach the candies to it. Further decor depends on your desire. A watch stand can also be made from candies laid out in a row.

DIY watch for the New Year.
New Year is one of the holidays with a particularly warm and soulful atmosphere. And it is created from many small little things. A festive tree, colorful lights, beautifully wrapped gifts and, of course, various New Year decorations.
For those who want to create a festive and warm atmosphere with their own hands, we will tell you how to make a beautiful New Year's clock that can decorate any home. Beginning needlewomen can try to make a simple round clock from foam plastic, and those who have skills in this matter can try making a New Year's craft that looks more like a cuckoo house.
Candy New Year's crafts as a gift for children
Crafts made from candies for children for the New Year charge both the giver and the recipient with an excellent mood, positivity and joy. Children will be surprised and delighted by a sweet sleigh, a doll in a candy dress, an edible laptop, a Christmas tree and a candy cake.
Santa Claus's sleigh
There are two manufacturing options: we make runners from sweets or take ready-made sleighs from plastic, cardboard, or boxes. Both options will be fully appreciated by the child.
In the case of using candy canes as runners, it is problematic to use hot glue: the thin film packaging will not withstand high temperatures. Instead of glue for fastening, it is better to use satin ribbons
An easy-to-make version of the sleigh: the chocolate base is decorated with gold foil, and we install runners-canes made of wire wrapped in red and white ribbon on it. We put goodies in the box and don’t forget about the decor
Little Santa Claus will delight the baby even more when he comes to him under the Christmas tree in such a sleigh
The overall appearance of the sleigh depends on the color of the candy cane.
Sweet Christmas tree without needles
There is not always a place for a coniferous tree in a nursery, but there is definitely room for a sweet one!
Felt and candies. This way you can decorate not only a cap for a children’s Christmas tree, but also a bottle of champagne
The photo shows all the simple steps to assemble this delicious beauty.
Candies are placed on double-sided tape
Several Christmas trees with different flavors of candy will be a welcome New Year's decor for rooms in a house with children.
Laptop made from candy
For this candy craft for a boy, they use elongated and rectangular candies, polystyrene foam, aluminum wire, a heat gun, adhesive tape, a knife, scissors, gold foil, a New Year’s printout or a printout of the computer desktop screensaver.
The work is based on rectangular sheets of polystyrene foam, which are pasted over with long candies.
Instead of styrofoam, use candy boxes with a hinged lid. Cover the box with gold corrugated paper, and place candies on it using double-sided tape.
The edges of the laptop are decorated with braid
Doll in candy outfit
Girls will also appreciate children's crafts made from sweets, especially in the form of an elegant doll. After the sweet outfit melts in your mouth, you will be left with a toy for which you can sew a real dress.
We wrap the candies in corrugated paper and glue them onto a cardboard base, which we fasten around the doll like a skirt. This skirt will not let the young lady fall
Corrugated paper always comes in handy when you need to decorate something.
Every girl will be happy with this idea!
Candy cake
A delicious cake can be cut without a knife if it is based not on cake layers, but on candy sweets. Layering everything in layers or stacking it is a matter of taste.
Outside, for decorative purposes, sweets are left in wrappers, and inside you can beautifully lay different types of sweets in layers, imitating a real cake.
It's not so hard to give a sweet gift; it's hard not to eat it yourself before giving it!
Stencil of a New Year's clock made of paper and a dial for a New Year's clock: print the template
Template #1
Template No. 2 Template No. 3
In principle, New Year's watches can have completely different shapes. If you wish, you can make them look like an ordinary round alarm clock or make a more massive product that can be placed on the wall.
But whatever form your craft takes, remember that in this case it is extremely important to pay attention to the decor. To make your watch really look like a New Year's decoration, be sure to decorate it with fir branches, cotton wool, shiny snowflakes and sequins.
As for the dial, it can be either simple or complex. If you don't want to bother, then just draw a circle, put numbers on it and attach it to the base. If your goal is a more original craft, then decorate it with an interesting thematic dial. You can see examples of holiday stencils for making New Year's watches a little higher.
How to make a beautiful New Year's watch out of a box?
If you want to make a New Year's craft as quickly as possible, then a ready-made box is exactly what you need. An ordinary rectangular box or, for example, a round cake box is perfect for these purposes. If you prefer this particular craft option, then you will only need to correctly fix the parts together and, of course, decorate them in an original way.
Watch from a cake box:
- First of all, wash the box and dry it thoroughly
- Next, take the paper of the color you need and cut out the numbers for the dial from it
- Gently coat them with glue and secure them to the top of the box
- While they dry, start decorating the inside of the craft.
- Place colorful rain, small Christmas tree decorations, or just cute animal figurines in it.
- Make plasticine blanks (they should be shaped like cones) and wrap them in foil
- Connect the two parts of the box together, fix the pine cones on them and additionally decorate the craft with rain
New Year's watch from a gift box:
- So, take a rectangular box and fix ribbons on its bottom, to which the cones will later be tied
- At the next stage, using a stencil, cut out the festive dial and also fix it on the workpiece
- Next, take two thin rectangular boxes and 2 pieces of triangular shaped cardboard and make a roof for your clock
- Decorate the craft at your discretion (you can use absolutely all the New Year’s tinsel or fir branches)
Candy topiary
Topiary is not only a beautiful and original gift, but also very tasty, since it, like the previous craft, will use chocolate.
What is needed to complete this craft:
- large foam ball
- flower pot,
- spoon, preferably wooden,
- corrugated paper,
- glue (glue gun),
- knife,
- satin ribbons,
- gypsum,
- beads,
- the recipient's favorite chocolates.
Let's start making crafts:
At the very beginning, you need to prepare the frame of the future topiary. You need to do the following:
Step 1. Take the prepared foam ball, and carefully pierce it on one side with the narrow part of a wooden spoon. In order for the structure to hold firmly, glue should be applied at the junction of the spoon and the ball.
Step 2. We wrap the prepared flower pot beautifully with corrugated paper.
Step 3. Mix plaster and water in the pot itself.
Step 4. Place a spoon with a ball into the resulting solution.
Step 5. Hold the spoon in your hands until the gypsum solution hardens and the craft stands firmly in the pot. When the mixture dries and the spoon holds firmly in the pot, pour glue into the gypsum and place the selected beads on it.
Step 6. After all the above steps have been completed, we move on to the most enjoyable part of making our craft - decoration.
Step 7. The candies should be glued to the foam ball using glue or double-sided tape. The entire surface of the ball must be covered with the selected candies. When the ball with candies is ready, you should beautifully wrap the trunk of the craft with satin ribbon. You can also place additional candies on top of the beads.
The candy topiary is ready!

How to make a beautiful New Year's clock from cardboard?
New Year's clock made of cardboard Decorations for crafts
If you like to do everything with your own hands, then try to make the very basis for the New Year's clock yourself. Any box made of thick cardboard is ideal for these purposes. If you have never done it before, you can watch the master class posted a little higher. The picture shows a diagram, following which you can make a blank for an original craft without any problems.
But remember, even such a simple thing must be done as diligently as possible. This means that you cannot afford to cut out fold lines, as they say, by eye. If in the end you want to get the perfect blank, then you will first need to arm yourself with a ruler and a pencil, draw the cardboard correctly, and only then start cutting the lines.
When the box is ready, all you have to do is decorate it with New Year's tinsel. And don’t forget that first you definitely need to mark a festive dial on it. To make it clear to others that the craft was made in honor of the New Year, give preference to dials with Santa Claus, a Snowman, or simply beautiful snowflakes on them.
Candy room decor
You can decorate anything with candies. If you use ordinary candies and chocolate sweets, then it’s easy to make a colorful garland or build an original composition from them.
The glasses will become a wonderful tasty composition
You can decorate your children's room with a charming sweet castle for princesses.
And here comes the sleigh with champagne!
Another option for decorating glasses with sweets
Wreaths are made from these candies. Either wire or hot glue applied to the film covering the cane can help with assembly.

New Year's watch made from candies Recommendations for making a box
If you want to make a New Year's watch from candy, you will have to make a round box of the required size with your own hands. In order for your craft to turn out perfect, you will need to make sure that the side of the cardboard blank is the same length as the candies you have chosen.
- To begin, cover the cardboard blank with corrugated paper, foil or simply beautiful packaging. Try to fix it on the base as well as possible, because this will determine how well the candies will stick to it.
- Glue the dial to the top of the box and be sure to make arrows. They can be made from more contrasting paper or wooden blanks painted in the desired color.
- When all this is ready, you can start fixing the candy on the box. Try to lay them in such a way that there is no greater distance between them. If you have chosen candies with uneven edges, then fill in the resulting voids with rain.
- After all the candies have been glued, all you have to do is decorate your New Year's clock with additional holiday decor. At this stage, you can allow yourself to use all your imagination and, in addition to the standard New Year's decor, use, for example, beautiful buttons or original rivets.
Candy mug
You will need: a mug, long candies, various chocolates, double-sided tape, silver ribbon, scissors.

How to make a beautiful New Year's clock from disks?
The easiest way to make a clock from a disk is to simply take it, secure it on a string, and then use a marker to draw a dial on it. As a result, you will get a simple craft that can be used to paint a Christmas tree.
If you want to surprise others with a more interesting decoration, then don’t be lazy and make a more complex figure from the disks. After they are well fixed to each other, all you have to do is decorate them accordingly and attach arrows to them.
Another good option is to cover the disc with a ready-made holiday dial. In order to make such a watch, you will need to print a stencil to the required scale, cut it out and carefully stick it on the disk. As soon as everything dries well, you can attach a rope by which the decoration will be hung, and place it in any place convenient for you.
Sleigh with candies
An excellent New Year's gift would be a sleigh with candies, which, of course, is more suitable for children. Just imagine how much delight the kids will have from these little handmade gifts for the New Year 2022. With a little digging in the confectionery store on the eve of the holidays, you can find some pretty interesting and colorful sweets of various shapes. They will become our main available material, which must also be supplemented with some New Year’s accessories for the full effect. This could be rain, Christmas tree decorations, tinsel, serpentine, confetti, gift bows and satin ribbons. Taking advantage of all this decor, you will get a real fabulous surprise, the same as shown in our photo and even better.
To work you will need:
- small chocolate;
- 2 candy canes;
- 10 pieces of flat candies;
- double-sided tape or glue gun;
- bow for decoration.
Manufacturing:
- Take candy canes and glue a chocolate bar to them using double-sided tape. If it’s more convenient for you, you can use a gun, but don’t overuse glue, otherwise you’ll ruin the chocolate.
- Now we attach 4 flat candies in one row to the top of the chocolate bar.
- After this, we place the next layer on them, consisting of 3 confectionery elements.
- The next step will be to attach 2 types of sweets to our pyramid, and then another one - the last one.
- The resulting edible New Year's gift, made with your own hands for the New Year 2022, can be decorated with a bow and ribbon. Sweet sleigh is ready!

If you have time, you can cut out a round piece of the desired size from this material, and then treat it the same way as with a round box. You can cover it with decorative material and then decorate it to your liking.
Also, if desired, the foam plastic can be decorated with paints and then decorated with shiny tinsel. Well, those needlewomen who are not afraid of painstaking work can try cutting out clocks from foam plastic. And in order for your craft to turn out festive, you will need to give it an interesting shape or simply decorate it with New Year’s figures made from the same foam. You can see how all this can be brought to life in the pictures posted above.
How to make a beautiful New Year's clock from salt dough?
Making a New Year's clock New Year's clock from salt dough
If you like to do handicrafts with your children, then you will definitely enjoy making a New Year's clock from salt dough. There is nothing complicated in this process, as all you have to do is give the material the correct shape. But still remember that in order for your craft to turn out correctly, you need to approach the preparation of the dough as responsibly as possible.
You must achieve such a consistency that it does not crumble or stick to your hands. Some needlewomen advise beginners to add a little vegetable oil to the dough, citing the fact that it will be easy to roll out. But as practice shows, such dough ultimately dries very poorly and quickly cracks after drying.
In view of this, it will be better if you prepare the dough according to the following recipe:
- Flour - 500 g
- Salt - 250 g
- Water – 250 ml
Yes, and remember that the prepared dough cannot be left to lie for a very long time, as this will certainly affect the strength of the finished product. Therefore, it will be better if, after mixing, you immediately begin creating a festive masterpiece. There are two ways to make a New Year's clock. You can simply roll out the dough and then cut the clock into the shape you want.
You can also try laying out the craft from small parts and only then drying it in the oven. Remember that the dough must be dried, because this is the only way you can get a strong structure that will not be afraid of moisture. If you try to quickly bake your workpieces, they may not dry out inside and this will lead to the formation of cracks after drying.
DIY New Year's craft cuckoo clock: photo
New Year's cuckoo clocks are made according to the same principle as those crafts with which we have already introduced you. In view of this, first you will need to prepare thick cardboard, glue or tape, holiday decor and paints for painting, and you can safely begin creating a New Year's decoration.
So:
- First, cut out the blanks from which you will later make a house. When cutting, make sure that all parts are the correct size. If at least one of the blanks is smaller or larger than necessary, then in the end you will not be able to assemble the structure.
- Having cut out all the necessary blanks, begin to connect them together, first with glue, and then with tape. This will help ensure that the finished structure is as strong as possible.
- Having made the box, start making a blank that imitates a cuckoo's house. In this case, it is important to correctly calculate the size of the hole in which the bird will be visible. In order for her to look harmonious in it, it should be at least 1-2 cm taller and wider than she is.
- At the final stage, make a cuckoo (it can be made of paper or plasticine) and fix it in the opening. Connect all the parts of the clock together and decorate them the way you like.
