Angel pendant

If you have a desire and some free time, make an original “New Year’s Angel” pendant with your own hands, which will perfectly complement the composition of New Year’s decorations.

To work you will need:

1. Felt in white, red and cherry colors
2. Red thick threads
3. Needle with big eye

Stages of work:

On paper, draw a pattern of the body and wings of an Angel, as shown in the photo, then cut out blanks from felt using these patterns. Cut the body white, and the wings cherry. From red felt, cut out a heart and a strip 1 cm wide and about 15 cm long.

Attach the heart to the bottom of the front side of the body and sew it with red thread.

Use a pen to draw some eyes for the Angel. Then fold the front and back parts of the body together and sew them along the outline with red thread.

Tie a red strip of felt around his neck like a scarf, and secure the knot with thread so that it does not come undone.

Now all that remains is to sew the wings to the back.

This is so interesting New Year's craft we succeeded.

Such volumetric craft The whole family will love it this Christmas. This wreath is very popular now; it is customary to hang it on the door or decorate a wall or window in the house. It is usually made in golden-red or green tones. It's not difficult to make. There are many in stores now New Year's tinsel, or maybe you still have something left over from last year.

To work you will need:

1. Green Christmas tree garland— 1.5 meters
2. Several branches of artificial fir
3. Cones
4. Acrylic gold paint
5. Any decorative ribbons
6. Tinsel
7. Christmas balls
8. Wire
9. Hot-melt gun or glue

We bend the wire so that we get a circle with a diameter of 20-25 cm. We cut out a wider circle from cardboard. If you have trouble finding wire, just a cardboard circle will suffice. We wrap both circles with a bandage or any fabric. We wrap it evenly and tightly so that there is no empty space. It is best to glue parts together with a hot-melt gun, but if you don’t have one, then any glue, for example Moment, will do. It turns out to be a circle - it will be the basis for a Christmas wreath.

We wrap the resulting circle with a green Christmas tree garland.

This is the green wreath we got.

Pieces artificial Christmas tree glue them at the same distance from each other.

Preparing the cones for the wreath: paint them with gold paint. We are waiting for them to dry. We paint tinsel.

Then we glue scraps of painted tinsel into the middle of the branches of the artificial Christmas tree. Next we glue the bump.

Our wreath comes to life, like in a fairy tale. As it turns out, it’s easy to make a fairy tale with your own hands. Glue Christmas balls onto the circle at equal distances.

From thin ribbon(for packaging flowers) make bows and glue them between the balls.

So our Christmas craft is ready.

Attach a thin thread and hang it on the door or wall.

If you want to create a Christmas atmosphere at home, decorate the window paper stencils Angelochkov. Some stencils can be used as a garland. To decorate the window we need White paper, a photocopier (if you don’t have one, draw by hand), scissors and transparent tape.

We copy and cut out Angels from paper. We attach it to the window with tape, this is what should happen:

Stencils can be enlarged:

Angels made of different materials

You can do without such interesting Angels special effort do it yourself for Christmas.

The body is made of cloth or felt (or white cardboard). We make a white felt hat for the head.

Cardboard angel

Golden angel with openwork wings. We glue the cone of the body from thick white cardboard, fix the head with a halo on the body. Then we cover everything with gold paint. We make lace, tulle, and openwork wings. Starch or glue simple glue to keep their shape.

A star can become with a magic wand V

The star is an important attribute of Christmas. According to the Bible, she showed the wise men the way to the baby Jesus. Today, Christmas carol singers carry the star with them. If your kids love this activity, they will definitely need a cute glitter star. Required materials:

• straight stick or skewer
• felt fabric (preferably gold color)
• needle and thread
• sequins and sparkles
• scissors
• brush

Step-by-step instruction for making a Christmas star

Cut two identical five-pointed stars from fabric. Decorate one with sequins. Grease a skewer with glue and sprinkle thickly with glitter. When it's dry, glue a piece of cotton wool about the same size as the stars to the end. Sew both blanks to create a voluminous star.

Candlestick “Night City”

The pattern for the candlestick can be cut out of paper or painted with acrylic

This craft will preserve the memory of snow-covered streets flickering in the light of lanterns. Just light a candle and the house will be immersed in an atmosphere of comfort and fairy tales! To make such a thing you will need:

• clean jar (0.5 - 1 l)
• paper, scissors
• Printer
• black acrylic paint
• thin brushes
• white acrylic spray paint or artificial snow
• alcohol spray
• clean cloth napkin
• waste cardboard box
• small candle (preferably tea)

And measure the volume of the jar. Increase or decrease the size of the drawings accordingly and print them on white paper. Rinse the jar thoroughly and treat the inside with alcohol to remove excess fat. Insert the template into the container as shown in the photo and secure it. You can press the template with a guitar string or secure it with tape.

Wrap the jar in a napkin in the area you touch with your hand - this will prevent fingerprints from leaving on the glass. Using black paint and fine brush transfer the outlines of the street from paper to glass. When finished, remove the template from the jar. Paint over the areas inside the drawing and add your own details to it: passers-by, cars, birds, and so on.

Making candlesticks using paper template and paints

The first tier of paint does not apply very tightly; there will probably be gaps in the drawing. Therefore, let the acrylic dry, apply another layer and set the craft aside. When the paint is completely dry, place the jar in old box so as not to stain anything when spraying the aerosol. Sprinkle artificial snow top part banks.

Let not everyone have it outside our window snowy winter, we invite you to captivate your family with DIY crafts for Christmas. Why exactly this? If only because it can become just as warm family tradition, as well as preparing food for the holiday table.

So today we offer you a LOT of IDEAS for DIY Christmas crafts! We decided not to limit ourselves to photographs. final results, so in our selection you will find a lot step-by-step master classes- in one picture.

Before we begin reviewing photographs and wonderful hand-made ideas, we’ll tell you a little about the decoration and interior content of the bright holiday.

To begin with, I would like to note that DIY Christmas crafts - the best remedy save money, including on gifts for family and friends. And this is especially true when you have a little more time than free money.

We must not forget that it is handicrafts and the unexpected presentation of familiar objects that develop the creative spirit in children. And now it is no longer saving, but the education and development of heirs that becomes the forefront for us.

There is also another reason why crafts are for Christmas. Most often we spend this holiday with our family. And here is a great opportunity to create a tradition, because to maintain rituals in family circle It’s always easier and more pleasant than in a circle of situational acquaintances.

Here are a few simple ideas that will highlight and enhance your family's togetherness. Label the balloons with the names of your loved ones and relatives and give them markers - already at the holiday. Let everyone write their wishes for the family where the holiday is taking place, or for the smallest child in the family, or words of gratitude to their beloved mother, who sits at the head of the table.

Find that idea that will get everyone involved, and at the same time remain a memory - until next Christmas. As an option, hang a wall newspaper with empty places for wishes from relatives. Or bring it home for Christmas old tradition albums where you could write everything - from funny joke before declaring your love. You can also paste photos here - after the holiday.

It is beautiful to place wreaths on the front door and in the hallway. And although this tradition is not entirely ours, but rather drawn from Hollywood films, its charm is obvious. A wreath on the door is a symbol of a hospitable home, ready for a fun holiday!

Do not spare light - in most design details! If you are going to spend money on decorative quirks, then first of all on good garlands. There can be a lot of them and everywhere, after all, you can always unplug them if the blinking lights get boring. And in order for the wires not to be conspicuous, disguise them behind pieces of furniture or decor, and also initially buy garlands with transparent wires.

When decorating your table, keep the focus on the Christmas theme. Let these be candlesticks with spruce twig, or snowmen in a jar, or patterns of snowflakes on a table runner. And also napkin rings with a small bump, or rain that you let down the backs of chairs. Don't lose sight of the reason for the holiday! But don't overload the table with decor.

Instead, turn your gaze to empty walls, or even to those key areas that are filled in usual time other items. Who’s stopping you from changing your favorite painting above the sofa during the holidays - to volumetric panel from branches, garlands and homemade snowflakes?! Create! Search simple ideas, bright accents and places most convenient for placing decor.

However, know how to stop. You should not waste all your energy on preparations. Carefully plan the time you spend on general cleaning at home, for Christmas crafts, for cooking festive table. And plan 2-3 points less than usual.

We know what distinguishes our restless beautiful women– the desire to do everything! Often - to the detriment of your own rest. But where your rest is, there is also your mood, your fresh look for the holiday, your genuine joy to the little ones and visiting relatives.

Don't push yourself! Choose a few of the easiest crafts in your opinion and write them next to the time for a good 8-hour daily sleep - all December long. And then nothing will overshadow your cozy, beautiful and unforgettable Christmas evening!

Hello, dear readers! Congratulations on coming winter holidays Happy Holidays! I wish you good health, happiness, prosperity, love, kindness and all earthly and unearthly blessings!

Today I bring to your attention the topic of DIY Christmas crafts for children and adults. Man is endowed with unlimited possibilities of multifaceted creativity and various ideas. Humanity has accumulated a great many examples of creating various crafts with our own hands that decorate our homes. I want to talk about the most, in my opinion, simple and interesting “inventions” for the holiday of the Nativity of Christ.

Since ancient times, the Day of the Nativity of Christ has been ranked among the Great Holidays by the church. Until the 4th century, Christmas was celebrated on January 6, it was combined with the feast of Epiphany and was called Epiphany. Pope Julius 1 in 337 divided these holidays and set the date of birth of Jesus Christ on December 25 (January 7 according to the Julian calendar).

This holiday was established in honor of the birth of the Son of God by the Virgin Mary. Jesus' parents Mary and Joseph lived in Nazareth. By order of the ruler Augustus, they came to Bethlehem to take a census of the entire population. All the places in the hotels were occupied, the whole city was overcrowded and they found themselves an overnight stay in a cattle cave. It was here, in the silence of the night, that a wondrous miracle happened - the birth of the Divine Child, the Savior of the world. Mary swaddled her son and put him in a manger where they put hay for the cattle. The first to know about this were the shepherds, who grazed their cattle at night near the cave. appeared before them Angel God and announced great joy about the birth of the Son of God. The shepherds appeared in the cave with a bow and told about the Angel.

Three wise men from the East came to the newborn Christ with gifts (gold, incense and myrrh). These wise men were led to the baby by a miraculous star over Bethlehem. Since then, the custom began to decorate New Year tree a hexagonal star, as well as angels. The traditions of Christmastide from Christmas to Epiphany are rooted in Slavic customs celebrations Winter Solstice. Kolyad is ancient pagan holiday, later merged with Christmas.

Christians all over the world Holy holiday The Nativity of Christ has a warm, touching character that penetrates the human soul. This family celebration, permeated with an atmosphere of universal harmony and love. On this day, peace, friendship, tranquility and joy reign in the house.

On the eve of the Christmas holiday, homes were decorated, the Christmas tree was decorated, pies, gingerbreads, pretzels, Ukrainian knishes, etc. were baked in each house. For dinner on the holy evening (December 6), 12 Lenten dishes were served and, of course, kutya. Carolers with a star on a pole entered houses, sang Christmas songs and praised Christ. They were treated to various pastries. There were dressing up in animal costumes, skits and entire performances, and various fortune-telling events. By ancient custom the most wished for on Christmas night cherished wish will definitely come true.

Christmas through the eyes of children

In the lives of children, Christmas is the brightest and most magical holiday with a huge number of stories and legends, songs and carols. They prepare for the great holiday of Christmas in advance and children take part in all activities with pleasure.

My grandmother told how Christmas was celebrated in a village in the Poltava region in the years after World War II. People took fire victims into their surviving huts, shared their last piece of bread with each other, but Christmas was celebrated very joyfully. Godparents bought young ladies made from dough and painted with multi-colored icing for their goddaughters, and brown horses for their godchildren. These gifts brought indescribable joy to the children. Children helped decorate the huts with towels, embroidered paintings, and lace curtains self made, snowflakes, the table was covered with a white woven tablecloth with embroidery (white on white). The whole family did Christmas decorations from cardboard, paper, cotton wool, acorns, pine cones, nuts in foil. The boys made toys from wood. At Christmas it always bloomed with bright crimson flowers. indoor flower Christmas All this celebration atmosphere made a huge impression. How the children rejoiced when they were tasked with carrying the godparents’ food, and as a reward they received coins and gingerbread from them. The children were incredibly happy about the arrival of the carolers and their singing. On the afternoon of January 7, adults and children sledded, played snowballs, sang songs, danced to the accordion and had fun until late in the evening .

Christmas through the eyes of children– this is winter, snow, sleds, ice skates, DIY crafts for decorating the Christmas tree and home, drawings, postcards. And also Christmas carols, firecrackers, gifts, photographs, poems and songs, dancing and fun.

Crafts for Christmas
