Before the New Year, we all need to make a small symbol with our own hands, which will bring good luck to the whole family. There is work to create a pig yellow color, because it is she who will patronize us throughout 2019.

From what to make such a talisman? You can use absolutely any materials if you are modeling crafts with your children. For example, plasticine, which is in the arsenal of every baby, is suitable.

It is easy to mold a pig with your own hands from soft yellow bars. The pig must be yellow because next year considered the year of the yellow pig. But we will make it truly New Year's with a few bright accessories.

It will be a red Santa Claus hat with a white trim and a red scarf that will decorate the figure. The resulting pig can be planted under the Christmas tree, she will meet the new year 2019 with you.

To sculpt a pig, you need to prepare:

• 1 or 2 bars of yellow plasticine;
• pink plasticine;
• white and red plasticine;
• a drop of blue plasticine;
• match or toothpick.

How to mold a plasticine pig with your own hands in stages

Prepare children's plasticine for work. Surely, you will find in it a convenient stack for dividing and processing bars. Pigs are usually depicted as pink, but we will make them yellow. Therefore, prepare plasticine of just that color. If you only have one yellow bar, then you can mix it with orange or white to make more mass to create a larger pig.

Knead the plasticine in your hands and roll up a fairly large ball.

Divide this ball into pieces to create the head and ears, torso and legs of the animal. For the head, make a smaller ball and squeeze it on one side. Also prepare small yellow balls for the ears and for the nose. To shade all the details, make a patch, roll up small beads from pink plasticine.

Turn 2 small yellow balls into flat droplets and stick pink beads on top. Thus, you will get hanging pig ears. Turn the pink ball into a round cake, stick a pink bead on top and pierce 2 holes with the match head. Thus, you will receive a piglet. Glue eyes with blue pupils and pink eyebrows on the head.

Glue a patch in the center of the head, lower lip below, and 2 ears on top. The head of the pig is ready. You can put it aside for now, in the future we will put it on top Christmas hat.

Spend the bulk of the yellow plasticine on sculpting the body - a large weighty drop. Insert a match or a toothpick into the sharp part of the drop.

Attach the head and torso. Prepare a long red ribbon with white tips and slash with a stack. This will be a scarf for the pig. Also prepare a red cone for the hat. Add a white bead to the upper tip of the cone, stick a white stripe on the bottom. Turn them into fur parts.

Put a New Year's hat on the head of the pig, and a scarf around the neck. Also make arms and legs from the remains of yellow plasticine. To the end of each detail of gluing pink hooves.

Completely assemble the figurine, you can make the pig sit, then you will need to prepare a stand for it, or stand.

Crochet a pink sausage ponytail and glue it on the back to complete the look of the pig.

Put your figurine on a pedestal and place it under the Christmas tree.

Beautiful plasticine snowflake

Plasticine modeling is always fabulous, and snow patterns can also be modeled from this soft and pliable material. Snowflakes are popular and well-known Christmas crafts. There are never many of them if the task is to decorate the interior before the New Year.

This tutorial shows how to make a snowflake from plasticine with your own hands. Even small weightless details are obtained using a soft mass. The product will turn out light and elegant, like a real natural object, even from a large amount of plasticine.

To make a snowflake, prepare:

• blue and white plasticine;
• mother-of-pearl half-bead;
• tool and toothpick.

How to make a beautiful plasticine snowflake

Prepare all suitable materials for creativity. Blue and white are the standard shades that frosty patterns are always painted with.

Choose a piece of the right size to create the base. Warm up and knead in your hands, form a lump. This stage always accompanies the sculpting process.

Now crush the soft mass into a flat round cake, which will become the basis of the craft. It is convenient to use a flat board. Press down on the hard surface with the palm of your hand, applying it to the plasticine. Pre-moisten the part with water so that it does not stick to the surface of the plasticine. Thus, with the same pressure, you press on the entire surface of the mass, the cake will turn out to be uniform.

Divide the blue circle into 6 segments. These segments will later become the rays of the snowflake. Grab the clay on each piece with your fingers and pull it out while it's still soft. Do the work intuitively, your task is to make a figure that looks like a six-pointed star as much as possible.

Sharpen 6 rays in the same way. This is a beautiful winter snowflake, but the work is not over yet.

Now consider how you would like to decorate your interesting craft. The base is already done. Make small oval petals from white plasticine and glue them symmetrically on each of the 6 rays.

Duplicate the white parts again with blue, but smaller, to give the craft volume.

Press each ray on top with a spatula or toothpick to leave a longitudinal ditch. Make small white eyelashes for each corner. Glue them to the ledges.

Glue white threads in the form of a thin snowflake in the center to the free space.

Glue a white cake in the middle and decorate with a half-bead.

You can also fill the empty space with small balls by piercing each with a toothpick.

Plasticine snowflake is ready. Shown here is just an example that you can use as a guide to show your kids an amazing winter themed creative lesson.

Now you do not need to look for a microscope to examine a snowflake, an amazing specimen lies in front of you on the table.

New Year's decoupage bottles of champagne

A bottle of champagne in itself is a good gift for the New Year. Such a gift is traditional, inexpensive and will never be superfluous, given that the New Year holiday lasts a long time.

And if the bottle does not look quite ordinary, if it is also an author's work? That such a gift will doubly please the one to whom it is intended.

The simplest thing that can be done on such a bottle is decoupage. It is better to do this work on two bottles. Save time and be more productive. While one bottle dries up at each stage, there is an opportunity to do another.

For work, I took the following materials and devices:

• bottle 2 pcs.;
• cotton pads;
• degreaser (nail polish remover);
• napkins with New Year's motifs 4 pcs.;
• white paint for ground;
• acrylic color paints;
• flat synthetic brushes;
• file;
• spray bottle with water;
• thin stick (you can use chopsticks for sushi);
• PVA glue;
• acrylic varnish;
• contour for glass gold;
• golden silk threads.

Before I started decorating the bottles, I removed all the stickers. Then she carefully lifted the foil on the neck of the bottle with a thin stick. Took it off.

Then cut the foil a little.

The surface of the bottle was degreased with a manicure liquid.

I primed the surface of the bottle, painting it with white paint. I dried it, and then covered the bottom of the bottle, dried it again.

I separated the lower layers from the napkin. I put the picture fragment on the file with the picture down. Moistened the fragment with water, leveled.

I applied a file with a fragment to the surface of the bottle, pressed it. Gently bending the corner of the file, and then the entire file, while not allowing the napkin to rise.

I glued the main fragment, waited for the glue to dry.

I glued the background fragment on the other side of the bottle. Covered with varnish.

In some places, I performed a contour drawing.

The bottle was varnished.

I put foil on the neck. The junction of the foil and the neck of the bottle was decorated with threads.

I made the second bottle in exactly the same way, only I took other napkins. Such elegant bottles are good both for gifts and for the New Year's table.

DIY snowflake and snowman

In this modeling lesson, we suggest you combine two winter images - a snowflake and a snowman. Why not have some fun with the kids and experiment by making something with your own hands from safe and affordable materials. Plasticine can rightfully be classified as such. Perhaps even kids from the earliest years intuitively feel and understand how to handle it.

We invite everyone interested in winter needlework to join this unusual master class. Here is how to make a snowflake with a picture of a snowman from plasticine. Usually children in the yard make figures out of snow, but here we make a snowflake and decorate it with a unique muzzle.

For work it is necessary to prepare:

• plasticine bars in the set;
• stack
• any dense material - cardboard or plastic cap;
• pencil or pen;
• scissors;
• toothpick.

How to make an unusual snowflake from plasticine

Cardboard, scissors and a pen (pencil) will be needed in order to make a dense base for future crafts. Since the snowflake will be made of plasticine, you need to take care of the strength of the entire structure. There is no point in pulling out each thin ray separately and attaching them together, since such a craft will be unreliable, it will bend with any pressure. It is best to use cardboard or a plastic cap.

Draw on the cardboard beautiful carved outlines of the frosty ornament. The rays of a snowflake can be of different shapes. Cut out the part along the outline. And also prepare white plasticine to completely cover the surface of the base with a thin layer.

Knead a small piece of white in your hands, put it on cardboard and spread it with your finger over the entire surface of the paper or plastic. Remove all excess by removing plasticine from the edge of the cardboard. Make small yellow petals to attach 3 to each ray.

Start attaching the yellow petals in the form of a trefoil to each ray, adjoining the resulting structures with a small red ball and pressing down with a toothpick on top.

Dress up all the rays. Press each yellow small petal along, and pierce the red ball with a toothpick.

When the base of the snowflake is ready, start modeling blanks for the snowman, which will become the central element. Blind a blue ball, pressing it on top with your palm, make a red carrot-nose and a purple scarf with white polka dots.

Glue a blue ball-head with a carrot-nose to the center of the snowflake. Attach a scarf with a bow from below. And at the top there will be a place for a festive hat.

Create a pretty face. It is necessary, in addition to the nose, to make eyes, pink cheeks and a mouth.

Put on a bright hat with a spruce branch on your head, symbolizing the New Year holidays. No other accessories are needed. The entire interior of the craft is filled, there is no more space left.

Now you can admire the fruit of your creativity, this master class cannot be called the easiest. The snowman looks like a kind wizard, and the whole snowflake, in general, looks elegant and unusual.

Mini crafts - pin and felt skates

Increasingly popular winter fun ice skating became popular. Both adults and children can be found at city skating rinks both on weekends and on weekdays. Skates, like alpine skiing, have already become a symbol of winter outdoor activities.

Well, in a few minutes you can make from simple materials souvenir depicting these cute bladed boots. You can wear a toy instead of a keychain on your bag or decorate a Christmas tree with miniature skates - the choice is yours.

You will need:

• sheets or scraps of felt: white, cream, blue or black;
• pins (two pieces for each pair of skates);
• glue gun and consumables for it;
• scissors;
• floss threads for laces;
• Lurex threads for the loop;
• small sequins, rhinestones, beads can come in handy.

You will get a pair of skates, the size of which will depend on the size of the pin. I got such souvenirs: 2 cm along the sole, 2.5 cm high ..

You can cut a stencil out of paper or cardboard, but neither material will give you an idea of ​​exactly how wide the blank should be cut out of felt. I advise you to do this: cut a rectangle out of a sheet of felt about the width of the pin. It is better if it is longer than necessary.

Scratch the fold line with scissors. Bend the workpiece and try on a pin to the fold.

If you liked everything, then with sharp scissors, give the felt the shape of a skate boot. Heat the glue gun (about 5 minutes), carefully glue the felt so that the two parts are tightly connected to each other. In the place where the laces will be, you can not tightly attach the parts to each other so that the skates look realistic.

Thread the needle with three strands of floss of the chosen color. Sew the felt crosswise to give the impression that the skates are tied with laces.

Three crosses for each shoe is the best option. Tie the "laces" on the bow.

In the same way, make the second skate, make sure that it is almost identical in size to the first.

Fasten the skates with lurex thread. That's all! The cute bauble is ready. You can decorate with it not only a Christmas tree or a bag, but also an album, a mirror, a panel on winter themes etc. Also, mini-skates will perfectly cope with the role of corporate gifts, if you want to congratulate colleagues or many friends and acquaintances.

Before the New Year, you must definitely buy and decorate a Christmas tree, so fluffy, so fragrant and so festive. This favorite hobby children. For this we use balls, tinsel and serpentine. And kids are attracted by winter creativity. To mold a small Christmas tree, you will need a little plasticine and an additional bright mass for decoration. Ultimately simple model provided in this lesson.

Materials for making New Year's crafts:

• plasticine green and additionally a couple of bright colors;
• brown plasticine;
• match.

How to make a souvenir Christmas tree with your own hands

How many interesting ways to create miniature Christmas trees with your own hands exist. But perhaps the easiest of them is modeling from plasticine. Yes, it's the easiest one. And if you are smart, you don’t even need to make each branch separately and show sharp needles. Plasticine is sold in any store, it costs a penny, as soon as the children see the bars, they immediately pick them up, begin to knead and make something intuitively.

Think with the children about what shape the Christmas tree can be, of course, cone-shaped. And such a green figurine will completely pass for a souvenir tree. And so that no one doubts that it is in front of him New Year's craft, the crown can be supplemented with balls and serpentine. Light details can do everything.

Initially, create the trunk itself (aka the crown) - a green oblong cone. Knead the plasticine of the desired color in your hands, form a ball.

Press it down with your palm, apply pressure and begin to swing the workpiece with oscillatory movements. It is necessary to ensure that the ball stretches, but becomes not just a cylinder, but a cone. Also make a small brown stump.

Insert a piece of a match into the top of the hemp for further secure fastening of the parts. Smooth the surface immediately with your fingers, without waiting until it hardens and becomes hard.

Fasten the green and brown components to each other.

The cone tree itself is ready. Move on to decor. Christmas decorations can be ordinary plasticine peas bright color. And also pull out thin threads, which will later become a serpentine.

Make a Christmas tree top right away - the famous red star. When dressing up a live or artificial spruce at home, they must use such a bright top. An asterisk can glow from electricity or just sparkle and shimmer.

Randomly stick thin threads of serpentine on the green cone, filling the space evenly. On a green background, yellow or orange is immediately noticeable, the colors are contrasting and expressive.

Glue the balls to the free places, at the top - an asterisk. New Year's plasticine beauty is ready. She is slim and well-dressed.

Children will dance around at the matinee real Christmas tree, and toys can have fun around such a small copy. If you like this idea, then you can make a whole forest of brightly decorated Christmas trees, involving all family members, using not only green, but also other colors of plasticine.

Snowflakes only at first glance seem the same, written like a carbon paper. We look out the window or go out into the street, white islands rush before us, which lie on the ground, turn into snowdrifts or immediately melt. However, each of these ice grains is unique and very beautiful. Therefore, the image of snowflakes is very often used on the eve of new year holidays for decor Christmas decorations, for modeling carnival costumes and also performing unusual children's crafts.

The New Year's fantasy flow will not run out if you experiment with colors, patterns and additional decorative elements.

What to prepare for repeating snowflakes:

• brown and white plasticine;
• a button or a shiny stone;
• stack spatula;
• toothpick.

How to make an unusual snowflake with your own hands

In order not to repeat yourself, to make something unique, use brown plasticine as a base. And it will complement it, it will look beautiful against a given background, white plasticine. If you can find a beautiful chocolate color, then the finished product will look like a delicious candy or gingerbread. In general, even brown, which would seem to be a completely unsuitable color for a snowflake, will look very nice.

Knead brown plasticine, first form a ball.

Place the ball on a hard surface. Press down around the circumference with your fingers, evenly distributing the pressure. You should get a round cake, but not very thin. A snowflake will be cut out of it in the future.

It is advisable to moisten the surface of the board before work so that the mass does not stick to it. Even on plasticine boxes they give advice that it is better to work with the material with wet hands.

After the cuts on the cake, petal segments will remain. Press down each of them with your fingers and smooth out so that you get triangular rays.

Try to smooth the brown surface with your fingers to a perfect result. Pull the white pieces into very thin threads.

With the help of white threads, apply a cobweb to the six-pointed surface, interlacing longer and shorter segments. Connect the opposite corners.

Additionally, make small villi from white plasticine, they will be needed to decorate the rays. Glue a button to the center.

Symmetrically fill all the rays with villi to additionally decorate your New Year's product.

Add white balls to the recesses between the rays and push each of them with a toothpick, this decoration method is also suitable.

1. Glass jar with a lid. You can buy a jar specifically for crafts, choosing its desired shape and size, or you can choose from those that are at home. For example, a jar of baby food or any glass jar with a screw-top canned food.
2. Any figurine of a small size, such that it fits in a jar and on the lid with its base. You can take a ready-made figurine, for example, from a kinder surprise or mold your own figurine from plasticine. But in this case, it will need to be covered with transparent nail polish so that snowflakes or sparkles do not stick to it.

What is required for work:

• glycerin (sold in a pharmacy);
• distilled water (sold at any gas station);
• plasticine;
• thermo - glue, glue "Moment Crystal";
• glitter, white pieces of plastic (sold in a nail art store);
• wooden stick (you can use a stick for sushi). We will stir the solution with her;
• a small piece of lace for decoration.

When everything is ready, let's get creative:

1. First you need to fix the figurine on the lid of the jar. To do this, we will make a small stand in the form of a plasticine slide so that the figure does not go deep into the lid. We attach a plasticine slide to the thermo-glue to the inside of the jar lid. After using thermal glue, we attach the figurine itself to the slide. Here it is important to check that the figurine on the lid fits well into the neck of the jar. If the plasticine interferes with the screwing of the lid, it must be cut off a little.
2. Now we make a solution with sparkles and snowflakes. To do this, fill the jar a quarter with glycerin and add distilled water, but not to the edge of the jar, but leaving a little space so that the figure fits there and the water does not go beyond the edges. After stirring the solution well with a wooden stick. At first, the solution will become a little cloudy, but very quickly, in just a couple of seconds it will become transparent. Now pour sparkles and snowflakes from white plastic into it and mix again.
3. Next, you need to thoroughly wipe the neck of the jar from moisture and sparkles, coat it with Moment Crystal glue for sealing and immediately screw the lid tightly.
4. We turn our ball over onto the lid. He's almost ready. It remains to decorate the base, that is, the cover beautiful lace. We cut off the lace of such a length that is equal to the diameter of the lid and glue it on hot glue.

That's all. A wonderful craft for the New Year 2018 with your own hands is ready for school. She turned out beautiful, magical and bewitching.

Textile dog tilda - the patron of the next year

For those who are a little familiar with a needle and thread or know how to sew on sewing machine, there is a great opportunity to show off your skills at school and submit a Tilda-style dog sewn for the New Year to the craft competition.

The coming year 2018 will be held under the sign of the dog. According to traditions, it is customary to give each other a symbol of the year for the holiday, so that the whole next year will be successful. So for a creative competition at school, you can make crafts in the form of a symbol of the New Year 2018 with your own hands.

Let's take a closer look at how to make a lovely, cute fabric dog.

Let's prepare everything that is useful in the work:

• fabric for the body of the dog. It can be tight knitwear, felt, baize or any other rather dense white fabric (as in the video). Or the color you want
• pink fabric for the inside of the ears. It is better to take thin cotton;
• cotton threads for knitting pink and white. Of these, we will knit clothes for a dog and a nose;
• filler for soft toys. It is better to take a synthetic winterizer with a footage.
• wooden stick for stuffing details. You can use a sushi stick.
• a pair of small black beads for the eyes.
• thread and needle.
• doggie pattern. It can be transferred to paper directly from the video screen.
• pencil and scissors.

Getting Started:

1. We transfer the pattern to the fabric folded in half. We make the ears separately one side on a white fabric, the other on a pink fabric.
2. We sew all the details on a typewriter, leaving unstitched places for turning and stuffing parts.
3. Now we cut out the details, make small notches in a circle so that the seams do not pull when turning out.
4. We turn out all the details, stuff them with synthetic winterizer quite tightly. All details except ears. The ears just need to be twisted and ironed.
5. Now carefully sew up the places left for stuffing.
6. We sew the dog's hind legs and tail with a needle and thread.
7. Now you need to tie her a beautiful T-shirt. We knit a small pipe in a circle with a mesh pattern and put it on the dog, and then sew on the front paws.
8. can link beautiful flower from pink and white yarn and decorate a T-shirt with it in front under the muzzle.
9. Sew on the dog's ears and eyes.
10. We knit the spout in a circle with single crochets for several rows and sew it in place of the spout.

The symbol of the year - a wonderful elegant dog is ready. It will take its rightful place at the exhibition of New Year's crafts at school.

We sew a dog, a symbol of 2018, according to the video lesson:

Magic card 4 in 1

And now let's see another version of crafts for the New Year 2018, which you can make with your own hands to school for an exhibition or as a gift to loved ones. This is a magical 4D postcard.

Before you start creating an amazing postcard, let's prepare everything you may need:

• white thick paper A4;
• ruler;
• scissors, clerical knife;
• double-sided tape, glue (PVA or stationery);
• simple pencil.

Let's get started:

1. From the wrong side of the sheet we make markings with a pencil. On each side, we measure segments of 10 cm and draw lines through this markup. It turned out 6 squares 10/10. Divide these squares equally in half. Got rectangles.
2. Mark the dotted lines and along the rectangles, dividing in half.
3. We cut out 8 marked rectangles 5 by 10 cm only along those lines that are drawn continuously, do not cut the dotted lines.
4. We bend the resulting rectangles so that the edges are folded in half to the dotted line (as in the video). So we bend all 8 rectangles.
5. Now we begin to glue all the parts. We do everything as indicated in the video. We glue the 2 parts inside out, glue the parts on the sides inside out down.
6. Glue is applied to strictly defined places (they are indicated with a pencil in the video). Thus, we glue 4 parts.
7. Now turn the figure out. It develops along the lines.
8. We glue 2 more parts, in such a way as shown in the video.
9. Open the doors again and do another addition. Align and glue the remaining 2 parts face up. We apply glue where shown in the video on all parts.
10. Let the glue dry well.

Check if you did everything right. The card should open with doors in the middle easily and form even squares. If there are any irregularities, they need to be cut with scissors so that they do not interfere with opening.

The mechanism of the postcard is ready, it remains to decorate it. On each of the 4 surfaces of the card, draw different pictures or New Year's inscriptions.

Snowman from threads

Effective and very beautiful craft for the New Year 2018 with your own hands to school can be obtained from simple cotton threads. Let's make a snowman.

Let's prepare everything we need to create a New Year's openwork snowman:

• a skein of cotton white threads;
• 3 balloons;
• PVA glue in plastic packaging;
• hot glue - gun;
• felt red white and orange;
• buttons for eyes and for decorating a snowman;
• twigs for pens and panicles;
• a little synthetic winterizer for a stand in the form of a snowdrift.

When everything is prepared, we start working on the snowman:

1. First, we make balls for the body of the snowman. To do this, you need to inflate Balloons different sizes. Biggest, Smallest and Smallest. It is better to wrap these balls with cellophane so that the threads do not stick to them later. Now we pass the thread through the bottle of glue and randomly wrap the balls. After that, you need to wet the wrapped balls with glue again and leave them to dry better for the night or for a day. After they have dried, blow off the balls and carefully pull them out of the thread balls.
2. Openwork thread balls are glued together with thermal glue. The biggest one is at the bottom, the smallest one is at the top.
3. The snowman is ready, it remains to decorate it. We take twigs and glue the handles.
4. From felt we cut out a nose with a carrot (we make a cone from a semicircle) and a smile. Glue buttons instead of eyes.
5. Glue the buttons in the form of a fastener.
6. We make a cap and a scarf out of felt, put them on the snowman. For reliability, you can fix it with glue.
7. Now we make a panicle and glue it to the handle of the snowman and the edge to the bottom ball.
8. We put the snowman on a padding polyester base, which can be glued to cardboard.
9. You can decorate the snowman however you like.

The snowman turned out great! At school, at the exhibition of DIY crafts for the New Year 2018, he will take his rightful place.
