And, of course, everyone, without exception, is preparing for the exciting moment - decorating the Christmas tree. But, despite the wide selection of toys in stores, many prefer to decorate the Christmas tree on their own and with homemade decorations.
Most popular material for making New Year's toys - paper. This material is affordable and easy to use. But you can see how to make Christmas tree decorations from paper with your own hands in this article. It will be much more interesting if you involve your children in this activity, because children are able to create things that an adult simply does not have enough imagination for.
How to make a Christmas tree toy from colored paper
Toys made of colored paper will add bright accents to the festive interior. The main thing is to take high-quality and thick enough paper so that the finished product is durable and will delight you with its appearance for a long time.
New Year's paper toys
The most traditional New Year's toy is considered Christmas ball. So why not try making it from paper. It’s very easy to make similar paper Christmas tree decorations with your own hands, but you need to stock up on the necessary materials and tools.
To make such an interesting Christmas ball you will need the following materials:
- thick paper of any color;
- scissors;
- a compass or any round object;
- PVA glue;
- satin ribbon or thread.
When all the tools are at hand, you can start working. It does not take a lot of time. Similar paper fakes for a Christmas tree are made in several stages:
- Draw identical circles on paper using a compass or, for example, a coffee lid, and cut them out. As a result, the number of circles should be 20.
- In each circle, draw an isosceles triangle with a pencil or bend the circle in half on both sides to mark the center with a cross.
- Fold the edges of the circles along the lines of the triangles and smooth the fold well with your fingers.
- Glue the base for the ball from the resulting triangles. To do this, lay out a line of triangles on a flat surface so that their bases form a straight line. Here you can notice that the “top” of the line has spaces, so you need to insert five more circles into the gaps. The result is a strip of 10 triangles, which must be closed into a circle.
- Using the remaining 10 circles, make the bottom and top of the ball. To do this, you need to glue 5 triangles into a circle so that the tops of the triangles are together.
- Glue the resulting caps to the base. The ball is ready.
After the ball is completely glued, you need to take a ribbon or any thick thread and attach it with glue to any place. This is necessary so that the ball can be easily hung on a tree branch.
If you find it difficult to draw triangles in each circle, you can make a spare circle and cut out the desired triangle from it. This will serve as a template and will greatly facilitate the process.
You can also make a square ball instead of a round one. This requires 6 laps. Only the edges need to be folded not into a triangle, but into a square. As a result, it will take 4 squares for the base and 2 for the lids.
Similar paper toys for the New Year can be made in one color or multi-colored.
It is important to understand that the larger the diameter of the circles, the larger the Christmas ball itself will be. Thus, you can create entire compositions from balls of different sizes.

But making a ball out of cardboard is not so easy. In addition, it is not always possible to find a ball with the desired design in the store, but we know that it you can always do it yourself. Such New Year's decorations made of cardboard can become the main and brightest accents on the Christmas tree.
Necessary materials:
- a postcard with your favorite image or photograph;
- scissors;
- hole puncher;
- thread or ribbon;
- small screw and nut.
The unique Christmas ball is prepared in three stages:
- A photograph or postcard must be cut into any number of strips.
- On each strip at the top and bottom you need to make a hole with a hole punch.
- Put all the strips together by threading a screw through the holes and securing them with a nut so that they can move. The toy is ready.
After the toy is assembled, you need to straighten the strips so that the pattern is visible. And in order to hang it on the Christmas tree, you need to attach a thread or ribbon to the top screw.
It is not necessary to use a photo or postcard for the image to be viewed: it is quite possible to use colored cardboard, two or more colors. You can decorate the ball with a bow or beads.
The number of stripes should not be less than 5 pieces. If there are fewer of them, the ball will look awkward

Strips of corrugated paper should be 10 cm long and 2.5-3 cm wide. The strip should be twisted in the middle and folded into a loop, pressing with the tip of your finger. All prepared loops are glued to the cone, starting from the bottom row. The fluffiness and volume of the Christmas tree depends on the number of loops used. You can attach a bow or a large bead to the top of the finished beauty.
How to make voluminous New Year's toys from paper
If you have looked at various photos of DIY Christmas toys made from paper, you have probably noticed that Christmas tree decorations are mostly made in volume. The thing is that such toys are much easier to make, because they are made according to special templates. Such templates for Christmas tree decorations made of paper are easy to find on the Internet, they are even sold in stores.

New Year's paper toys are the easiest and most economical way to decorate your home for the holiday. Using one of the simple diagrams or instructions, even a beginner in this type of creativity can make cute decorations.
Template does not mean ugly
One of the easiest ways to make paper crafts is to cut out decorations according to certain patterns or patterns. Even elegant ornaments or silhouettes simply attached to the window will become a real interior decoration, templates for which can be found in the section and printed. Such decor is attached to the window using tape, paste or water - after the holidays are over, there will be no traces left on the glass.
When working with templates with a large number of small parts, the cutting of which will require filigree precision, it is better to use a breadboard knife and place the template itself on a special rigid base that protects the working surface from damage.
In addition to chains, garlands can be made from any images: repeating or united by the same style or color scheme.
Master class on making
To make New Year's toys in the form of corrugated balls, you will have to work hard, but the result will exceed all expectations. Paper balloons collected in a garland will decorate any celebration, and balloons made in pink are perfect for... Making such balls is a very labor-intensive and complex process that requires strict adherence to the diagram. For beginners, another step-by-step guide that does not require special training is suitable.
To create a simple garland you will need:
- 1 roll of corrugated paper of the desired color;
- scissors;
- glue.
Progress:
- You should cut off part of the roll so that the width of the cut part is 3 cm. Do not unroll the roll before doing this.
- From the mini-roll thus obtained, you need to unwind a small amount of paper, while twisting the strip every 3-4 cm. The integrity of the tape should be maintained, preventing it from breaking.
- The paper between the places of twists should be straightened and given a slightly convex shape.
- Repeat the required number of times until the desired length of the future garland is achieved. Glue or fasten the joints of large fragments with glue.
Decorating the doors
The custom of decorating your home is becoming increasingly popular. On sale you can find both jewelry made from real pine needles and a variety of options made from artificial materials. Traditionally, the Christmas wreath is attached to the front door, which is associated with some inconvenience, since store-bought wreaths are quite heavy and difficult to attach to a usually metal front door, which cannot be nailed or drilled into. New Year's wreaths made of paper are very light, so they can be secured to the surface of the door even with tape.
How to do it?
You can make and decorate a New Year's wreath yourself. For this you will need:
- a sheet of double-sided green A4 paper;
- pencil and ruler;
- scissors;
- glue;
- decorative elements.
Manufacturing:
- Fold the sheet in half.
- From the fold, draw lines with a pencil so that the distance between them is 1.5 cm, and the lines themselves do not reach the edge opposite the fold by 2 cm.
- Without straightening the sheet, cut each line starting from the fold.
- Unfold the sheet and glue the edges along the long side of the sheet (its uncut parts).
- Connect the ends of the resulting cylinder to each other and glue them.
- Decorate the wreath with beads, sequins, bows. You can also use decorations cut from paper of other colors.
The process of creating a wreath from a cardboard plate will be very easy. You should cut out the bottom of the plate, and cover the remaining rim with green paper strips of the same or different lengths.
Fabulously beautiful toys for children
Creating beautiful fairy-tale figures will be a fun pre-New Year activity for children. One of the many paper toy layouts should be printed, cut out and glued in the places indicated on the template. If the child is still too small to cut out with scissors, then adults should cut out the parts of the toy in advance so that the child can later glue them together.
Paper as a reason for fantasy
The appearance on sale of a large assortment of paper for handicrafts with a wide choice of not only colors, but also textures, allows modern craftsmen not to limit their imagination. A huge number of techniques, as well as the availability of patterns and patterns for products for every taste, paved the way for the almost daily creation of small masterpieces that carry not only the elegance of execution, but also the warmth of their master.
A festive interior decorated with crafts becomes very homely and cozy. Often, handmade New Year's toys become real family heirlooms.
New Year is probably the most favorite holiday of adults and children. A beautiful Christmas tree exuding a fresh pine aroma, all kinds of toys, and even a festive feast - all these are attributes of a wonderful celebration, symbolizing the onset of a new, promising year.

What do we use for the material?
What do you need to make your own New Year's decorations? You can use almost anything you can get your hands on. If you want, you can buy special supplies (sold in craft stores), or you can use what you have in any home. So what to prepare:- plain paper (good for making patterns);

- threads and needles;
- yarn of different shades;
- various decorative materials - these can be sparkles, sequins, confetti, multi-colored foil, stickers and much more.
Simple crafts from scrap materials
Of course, you've probably seen how New Year's balls are made from thread and glue with your own hands, but why not expand the range? We make various Christmas tree decorations with our own hands.From yarn
This is a simple and at the same time spectacular Christmas tree decoration that can decorate any Christmas tree.
For production you will need:
- yarn;
- tailor's pins;
- plate or bowl;
- porous material (for example, a disposable tray);
- cutting paper;
- marker.
The template needs to be attached with pins (or ordinary toothpicks) to the porous material, and the design you need should be laid out on top - first the outline is laid out, then the interior decor. You should not cross the threads too often; the toy should be fairly flat. Once you are finished, dry the item and remove it from the pins and tie a loop in the eye. If desired, you can decorate with sparkles or rain.
From wire
How to make New Year's toys with your own hands in just a couple of minutes? Use the wire!
To make toys you will need:
- two types of wire - thick and thin (thin wire can be replaced with bright threads, for example, floss. Pure white strong threads look very beautiful);
- beads, beads;
- colored tape;
- pliers.
The ends of the thick wire need to be twisted. You need to string beads and seed beads mixed together on a thin wire, tie the end of the thin wire to the future Christmas tree decoration, and wrap it randomly.
When the toy is evenly wrapped, you need to wrap the free tail of the wire around the toy and tie a ribbon in the shape of a bow - your toy is ready.
Another original idea:
Made from ribbon and beads
Who said that making New Year's toys with your own hands must take a long time and painstakingly? Not at all. In just five minutes you can create one that will decorate both the New Year’s tree and the interior.
You will need:

- glue "Second";
- needle and thread.
Interior decor made in this way looks very attractive.
From cardboard - in a couple of minutes
Some New Year's toys made of paper or cardboard take a lot of time to make, but not in this case - here you really only need a couple of minutes to make an elegant hand-made New Year's decoration.So, you will need:
- ordinary cardboard;
- a little twine or thick yarn;
- glue;
- paints and brushes;
- napkin or cloth;
- varied decor.
Using a loose tail of twine, we wrap the tree in different directions. After some kind of thread pattern appears on the tree, you can start gluing it with a napkin. You can tear the napkin into pieces, coat the tree well with glue, and seal it tightly with the napkin. This will give a nice texture to the future toy.
After the toy has dried, you can start painting - paint the Christmas tree green.
After the paint layer has dried, shade the texture of the toy using a dry, hard brush and white paint, and then decorate it to your taste.
From bright shreds
Here you will need a sewing machine, but if you really want to, you can do it without it. This is the best way to make Christmas toys from cotton wool and fabric - just choose fabric with a Christmas ornament, or use what you have on hand.
Prepare several paper patterns - for example, deer, stars, gingerbread men, bears, letters and hearts. Cut out fabric blanks with your own hands, sew them in pairs, leaving a small gap (for stuffing), and through this small hole, tightly stuff the toys with cotton wool or padding polyester. It is most convenient to fill with a pencil.
Patterns can be downloaded here:
By the way, don’t forget - we sew on a machine from the inside, but if you decide to make toys from thick fabric with your kids, then it is better to sew them with a decorative seam over the edge - a toy with your own hands will look simply charming and will be suitable for either a home Christmas tree or a kindergarten - Usually, for kindergarten Christmas trees, children make decorations themselves.
Made from twine and cardboard
New Year's toys made of paper and cardboard will be much more interesting if you add a couple of simple materials to them. To make such a toy you will need ordinary cardboard, simple paper or natural twine, a little felt or any other fabric, as well as ordinary paper, a pencil and ruler, and a drop of glue.
The star template can be downloaded here:
First, make a pattern on plain paper, and then transfer it to cardboard. Don't forget that the star must be double. You shouldn’t make the star too thin; it’s better to make it a centimeter or more. The tail of the twine is glued to the cardboard, then you need to gradually wrap the entire workpiece.
Place the thread as tightly as possible so that there are no gaps. To decorate the star, make a couple of leaves and berries from fabric and decorate one of the rays. Your decoration is ready.
From yarn and cardboard
Do you want to make original and at the same time charming Christmas tree decorations with your own hands? Then it's time to make small gift hats with your own hands from scrap materials. This is a wonderful Christmas gift that looks cute and will keep you warm all winter long!

- a couple of toilet paper rolls (you can just glue cardboard rings together);
- remnants of colored yarn;
- beads and sequins for decoration.
The threads need to be cut into pieces of approximately 20-22 centimeters. We fold each piece in half, pass the loop through the cardboard ring, and pull the free edges of the threads through the loop. It is necessary that the thread is firmly fixed to the cardboard base. This needs to be repeated until the cardboard base is hidden under the threads.
All the thread tails need to be pulled through the ring so that our hat has a “lapel”.
Now we pull the loose tails tightly with thread and trim them into a pom-pom shape - the hat is ready! All that remains is to make a loop and decorate your Christmas tree toy with sequins and sparkles.
From beads

Try to make this Christmas tree toy with your own hands, the master class is very simple.
Make a loop on the wire and string green beads mixed with large beads on it - they will play the role of New Year's balls on our Christmas tree. Once the wire is filled, give it a herringbone shape by folding it in a spiral.
Once your tree has taken shape, bend the free edge into a loop.
We cut off a piece of ribbon, form a loop from it for hanging and pull it through the Christmas tree, and decorate the free tail with a coin (the easiest way is to glue it with double-sided tape). We tie a decorative bow on the hanging loop - your decor is ready!

The balls need to be dried for several hours. After the glue has completely dried, you need to deflate the ball and take it out, and carefully paint the ball of thread with spray paint and decorate it with sequins and sparkles.

New Year's balls
What is the most common decoration on a Christmas tree? Of course, balls! You can always buy glass and plastic ones in the store, but we will try to make them from thick paper. This includes colored cardboard, old postcards and covers of unnecessary magazines. Balls made of colored cardboard, plain, will give the tree or room that you want to decorate a single style, and multi-colored balls will bring an atmosphere of celebration, magic and a winter fairy tale.
Before you sit down to make a new toy, prepare:
- thick paper;
- use old magazines, cardboards or candy boxes with bright designs;
- glue, PVA is best;
- scissors;
- a compass or any other object that you can trace to get an even circle.
Take your cardboard and draw twenty-one identical circles on it, then cut them out with scissors. Each circle must be folded as follows: bend the circle in half twice, on one side and the other, then straighten it, this will mark the center of the circle.
Fold only one side of it again, so that the edge of the circle is exactly in the intended center. Fold the two sides again, so you get a triangle. Cut out this triangle in one of the twenty circles; it will serve as a kind of stencil for the rest of the circles. All that remains for you is to place the triangle on the remaining circles, trace it and bend the edges of the circles outward along the contour.
Take the first ten circles and glue them into stripes, alternating: five down - five up. Glue the resulting strip into a ring, this will serve as the basis for the toy.
Divide the remaining ten into fives and glue them into a circle. By gluing them together, you will get two lids.
The top and bottom covers will need to be glued to the base in the same way. Consider a loop to hang the toy from.
Children can easily help you make such a New Year's toy: you will need scissors, colored paper, and packing ribbons.
