Christmas toy "Star"

For the New Year 2020, the main decoration of the house, of course, is the Christmas tree. Therefore, all the attention of your coming guests will be riveted to her. Given this important point, it is worth working on her holiday 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 similar products. But still, it’s better to create an image of a Christmas 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 out of it, even for New Year's Eve. Let's create something interesting and simple, for example, a star on a Christmas tree, which is perfect for beginners.

For work you will need:

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

Progress:

  1. We take thick colored paper or cardboard and fold it in half. We have a rectangle.
  2. We bend the corner of its small left side, pulling it to 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 spread the sheet of paper again and in this way we got the intersection of the lines, which will be our center of the star. Mark it with a simple pencil.
  3. Next, we take the corner of its right side and pull it to our marked center. Carefully iron.
  4. The right corner, which we connected to the center, is attached to its opposite side and fixed with a finger, pressing the resulting line. We have a kind of quadrilateral.
  5. We connect the right side of the paper, on which we marked the center, with the resulting quadrangle, tightly pressing the straight butt lines to each other. We also have a triangle in this way.
  6. We fold two geometric figures in half along the butt line, arching them as if inside out and carefully stroking all sides with your finger.
  7. Then we take scissors and cut off the extra edge of the figure so that we get a small triangle.
  8. After that, we open our paper product, completely straightening it. As a result, we have formed a five-pointed box, on which we draw all the fold lines with a simple pencil. Now it will be easier for us to orient ourselves and assemble this New Year's craft with our own hands.
  9. At the end of the origami work, do not forget to attach a shiny thread to our five-pointed star, as this is a Christmas tree decor.

So, having tried hard, you can create a wonderful decoration for your Christmas tree for the New Year 2020. And so that you quickly understand this delicate matter, we provide our training video.

Snowflake from origami modules

A very beautiful craft for the New Year 2020 will, of course, be a snowflake created from origami modules. Naturally, to make such a miracle with your own hands, it will take 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 plain paper. Let's see how all this is done at home.

For 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.

  1. Let's start making origami modules with our own hands. To do this, we take all sheets of A4 format and divide them into 32 rectangular parts, after which we cut them out.
  2. Next, take one resulting rectangle and fold it in half horizontally, and then vertically, outlining the center line.
  3. 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.
  4. We raise the lower part, fold it in half and get the first module. In the same way, we manufacture subsequent modules.
  5. Having completed the work on creating modules, we immediately proceed to their assembly. In order to securely fix all the details of our product, we use glue. We combine 2 rows of 6 white elements into a ring, inserting into each other.
  6. Be careful, as the number of modules is doubled on the third row. This is achieved by dressing two on one, resulting in 12 modules.
  7. To make our decoration look more elegant for the New Year 2020, we decorate it with blue modules, starting to introduce them from the fourth row. It is identical to the previous one, so 12 modules are also released at this stage.
  8. In the next row, we must double the number of elements in the row twice. This means that in the fifth row you will get 24 modules. We do the next sixth row in the same way as the fifth.
  9. Here is some of the work we have done. Now we proceed to the seventh row, in which we collect 24 modules, alternating the combination in a circle: 3 blue, 1 white module. There are 6 sharp blue corners.
  10. Further we work only with blue rays. To each of the three blue modules we add two more, and then one detail. Narrowing occurs.
  11. Now we carry out white arches, which consist of 17 modules. White modules remained in the seventh row - 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.
  12. And the last stage of assembling a snowflake with your own hands using the modular origami technique is the compilation of small rays. They are made of 5 modules inserted like a column and 3 modules on top that make the tips fluffy. We attach them to our craft. That's it! For everyone, of course, this will be the most beautiful holiday decoration, especially, it will seem interesting for your children.

  • dark marker.
  1. Fold a sheet of paper in half lengthwise, straighten it, fold it in half widthwise, straighten it. The curves must be clearly defined.
    Unfold the cardboard vertically. Fold the right half (until the bend) in half, do the same manipulation with the left half. Unfold the paper, lay it horizontally, bend the right half to a bend, then the left.
  2. There should be 8 folds on the cardboard.
  3. Bend inward the upper right, then the left corners. You should get an acute angle, do a similar operation with the bottom of the craft.
  4. Expand one of the triangles towards the main part of the structure, you should get an isosceles figure. Do the same with the remaining three corners.
  5. It turned out two volumetric rhombuses.
  6. Fold one of the rhombuses in half, bend to the back, fix.

Puppy

A cute paper dog will decorate a shelf with souvenirs, become an original decor for gift wrapping and bring a lot of positive emotions to a child.

To create an origami puppy, you will need the following materials:

  • a square sheet of paper (cardboard or thin colored paper can be used);
  • felt-tip pen or black marker;
  • ruler.

First you need to bend the paper sheet diagonally alternately in two directions. Expand. If everything is done correctly, you should get such a figure.

Turn the sheet over so that it resembles a diamond. Wrap each of the four corners towards the center.

Bend one of the corners. From the tip, measure 1-2 centimeters, bend to the fold line.

Bend the opposite corner, measure 0.5-1 cm from the bend, bend it outward, its protruding part will become the tail of the future puppy.

Fold the workpiece in half. Make a bend on the upper part, it should create a diagonal parallel to the rectangle. The triangle located inside the structure should not be folded; it should be brought out in advance.

Turn the product over, repeat the same manipulation on the other side. Make a symmetrical fold.

It's time to form the muzzle of the dog. Unfold the paper so that the corner is facing forward. Raise the tip and bring it out. Then fold in half again.

Using a black felt-tip pen, draw a nose and eyes on a paper pet.

The dog is ready. A simple manufacturing process allows you to attract a child. Works in the origami technique contribute to the development of abstract thinking and fine motor skills of the hands.

When only a sheet of paper is at hand - we make a cute dog

The proposed model is one of the most complex. To successfully complete it, you must have basic origami skills and show perseverance. The result will pleasantly surprise you with its realism and original small details.

To create an origami terrier, you will need a sheet of paper, which must be folded diagonally and unfolded. Bend the right and left corners to the center.

Turn the structure over, point the bottom corner up so that it is clearly aligned with the top.

Flip the workpiece back. If all the previous recommendations are followed correctly, two corners should form in the center. Pull one of them down and turn.

Repeat steps for the second corner.

The design has the form of a quadrilateral, the upper corner of which is two-layered. There is a sharp corner on the wrong side, it must be lowered down and the paper laid on a hard surface. 2 segments of a triangular shape sticking out in the center must be bent down.

Turn the product 90 degrees, fold in half, you should get an isosceles figure.

Expand the workpiece again, now the sharp corners should be directed up and down, and the blunt ones should be directed to the right. Pull the top corner towards you and bend it inside the sheet.

Bend the top corner again, releasing the core. The future dog found a head and ears.

Measure a third of the acute angle and bend inward. Start shaping the nose. To do this, bend again the same sharp corner. Only the sharp tip should look outward, it must be slightly bent up and back.

To form the body, bend the remaining sharp corner into the workpiece. Lay the dog on its side, bend outward most of the corner.

Bend the tip slightly. With a light fold, outline the back and legs.

There are a lot of options for creating a four-legged friend. With certain knowledge, you can create radically new types of animals, improving your skills and bringing genuine delight to others.

Several options for a decorative Christmas tree made of paper

Without an elegant Christmas tree in the New Year - no way. Of course, the main heroine of the holiday is a large fluffy live spruce or pine tree in the center of the room, or an artificial beauty dressed up with garlands and colorful toys. But you can also make small decorative Christmas trees with your own hands from paper and decorate them with a table or shelf in the office or at home for the New Year. The following are two master classes on creating such paper beauties.

For each of them we will need:

  1. A sheet of thick paper for the cone.
  2. Paper napkins of any color, you can combine several colors.
  3. PVA glue or pencil.
  4. Scissors.
  5. stapler.
  6. Pencil or any wooden stick.
  7. Christmas tree decor. Everything you can find at home: sequins, small beads, bells, ribbons, and so on.

And now, in turn, we will consider both options for Christmas trees made of paper napkins.

Option 1 - Christmas tree made of paper roses

  • make a cone out of thick paper. We glue it with glue or a stapler.
  • now we make roses from napkins. To do this, we fold each napkin in half and in half again, fix it in the middle with a stapler.

  • cut out the circle.

  • we have a multi-layer circle and you need to take each subsequent layer from above and twist it tightly. We do this with all layers.

  • when all the layers are twisted, you need to straighten the rose a little. Thus we make all the flowers.
  • cover the cone with roses. It is better to start from the bottom in a circle and go up.

  • glue roses should be close to each other so that there are no gaps.

  • after the whole Christmas tree is “dressed” in roses, you can decorate it with any decorative elements by simply gluing them randomly over the flowers.

Such a craft for the New Year 2018 made of paper with your own hands is very simple to perform, even a child, a teenager can handle it, and in appearance it turns out to be very effective and beautiful.

Option 2 - Christmas tree made of paper napkins using the trimming technique

A similar very simple version of the Christmas tree. All that is needed for it is listed above, we will prepare everything according to the list and proceed:


  • you have to start from the bottom. Thus, we attach all the twisted squares tightly, as close as possible to each other.

When we glue the whole Christmas tree with twisted squares, we get a fluffy beauty that can also be decorated with any decorative elements.

Using these techniques (napkin roses and trimming), you can create postcards by gluing elements onto a base with a drawn outline of a Christmas tree or other pattern, a snowman, for example.

Christmas trees can also be made from paper using other techniques. By simply gluing circles of colored paper onto a cone, or cutting circled palms from green paper. And you can also make loops from strips of paper and stick them on the cone.

Very beautiful paper Christmas trees are obtained using the vytynanka technique. To do this, you need to fold a sheet of paper in half, draw a contour according to the template and cut through all the necessary places. Do the same with the second sheet. After connecting 2 sheets to each other at the fold.

In general, a paper cone Christmas tree can be decorated with anything. The idea is to make a construction paper cone and decorate it.

For decoration you can use:

  • threads for knitting, simply wrapping or cone;
  • buttons;
  • tinsel and sweets, gluing them in rows alternating;
  • crumpled paper petals;
  • pasta;
  • coffee beans and jute rope.

You can decorate such a Christmas tree with anything you find at home. After that, you can cover the resulting creation with golden paint or artificial snow, or set it aside as it is.

This craft is something that you can do for the New Year with your own hands and give it to your mother, friends, relatives.

Using this technique, you can also make penguins, snowmen, deer, and any figurine in the New Year theme.

  1. We make two circles for the snowman's body. To do this, we take 2 sheets of a larger format and 2 sheets of a smaller one. We fold them with an accordion.
  2. We bend the accordions in half. On the one hand, we glue the ends with each other, we get a semicircle. We glue together 2 large semicircles and two smaller semicircles. We glue a smaller circle on top of a large one. This is the body of a snowman.
  3. In the same way, we make small circles for pens and glue them to the snowman.
  4. Cut out circles for eyes and buttons from black paper and glue them on the snowman.
  5. We make a cone of orange paper and attach it to the snowman in place of the nose.
  6. We cut out a hat from black paper, decorate it with a strip of white paper and glue it on the snowman's head.
  7. We cut off a long strip of blue paper, cut it along the edges and tie it to the snowman as a scarf.
  8. It remains to make a whisk. We fold the white paper with an accordion and fasten the ends.
  9. We make an accordion out of orange paper and fold it in half, attach it to a strip of white paper and attach it to the snowman's handle.

With this snowman, you can decorate the wall in the room by attaching it with pins and needles or double-sided tape to the wallpaper.

And if you make such a snowman in a smaller format, then it will be a great decoration for a postcard. Complete the postcard with paper snowflakes or a Christmas tree made using the same technique, that is, from sheets of paper folded like an accordion and glued in layers.
