Such a Christmas tree decoration will give the decoration of the forest beauty a special flavor of the family hearth. You can use both photos of your children and photos of friends, and then present them with the craft for the holiday.

• bright braid;
• felt-tip pen;
• scissors;
• stationery barcode corrector;
• sequins;
• elements of winter decor, cones, dried fruits and berries, flowers, etc.;
• glue gun.

Step by step execution:

• We open the plastic ball and put one of its halves on the prepared plastic blank, circle it with a felt-tip pen and cut it out.
• Cover the cut out detail for a DIY New Year's craft for the Year of the Rat 2020 with a clerical stroke corrector, sprinkle with sparkles, dry.
• Cut out the desired part with the image from the photo and glue it to the decorated plastic blank with hot glue.
• Pour small plastic balls into one of the halves of the ball, coat the edges along the entire circumference with hot glue and glue the blank with a photograph with the front side inside the half of the ball.
• We cut the workpiece in a circle, if there are protruding parts, proceed to the decor.
• On the outside of the workpiece, we glue a spruce twig, cotton balls, small cones, shiny elements, creating a New Year's original composition, pour in small foam.

Champagne bottle decoration

There are a lot of options for decorating a bottle of champagne for the New Year, from the simplest ones, which involve only tying tinsel or ribbon with a glued decorative element, to more complex ones. We offer one fairly simple, popular and effective way of making decorations for a festive table, using the decoupage technique.

You will need:

• a bottle of champagne;
• serving napkins with a New Year's motive;
• container with acrylic paint;
• blue acrylic paint or gouache;
• sponge;
• gloves.

Step by step execution

Putting on gloves, cover the bottle with white acrylic paint with a sponge, let it dry, then apply PVA glue to the part of the bottle surface on which the drawing will be placed

Apply the desired pattern, pre-cut from napkins, onto the surface greased with glue, smooth it and apply glue on top to form a protective film

Add some blue paint to white acrylic paint, stir and apply with a sponge to the free surface of the bottle

If you wish, you can apply to the New Year's craft, which we do with our own hands for 2020, Rats, sparkles or glue sequins

We also decorate the neck of the bottle with New Year's decor elements

Christmas miniature: gift boot

A very stylish New Year's craft, it is very simple to perform it from scrap materials.

You will need:

• a plastic container for a chocolate egg;
• cardboard or black felt for the sole;
• red and white felt;
• a string of Christmas tree beads;
• decor elements;
• hot glue.

Step by step execution:

From the cardboard we cut out the sole for the boot with gifts, having drawn a template in advance, paint the cardboard black, and if you have prepared black felt, then simply cut out the sole

We divide the plastic container into two parts, in the smaller one we make a characteristic notch, which we pre-draw

We attach a small part to the remaining untouched part of the container, if there is nothing superfluous, glue both parts with hot glue, otherwise we make adjustments with scissors

• We install both parts on the manufactured sole, glue, cut off the excess.
• With a piece of red felt, pre-cut to the size of the boot, we wrap it and fix it with glue, cut off all unnecessary from above. In the area of the toe of the boot, we make small folds to give the fabric the desired shape, fasten it with glue.

Sew a double strip of white felt on the top, glue a bow, also pre-made of white felt, in the place of the fold

We decorate a bow for a DIY Christmas craft for the Year of the Rat 2020 with a shiny element and a small piece from the Christmas tree beads

In the finished shoe we insert a large, but commensurate with the boot, spruce branch and decorate it at our discretion

For example, you can attach a small red felt bow at the top with a large bead in the center, hang small Christmas tree decorations or large beads

Clothespin box

Everyone will be delighted with such a stylish handmade gift, in addition, it will come in handy for both New Year's interior decor and as a piggy bank for New Year's wishes, which will be announced on New Year's Eve.

You will need:

• the tape reel is high;
• wooden clothespins;
• canvas twine;
• cardboard;
• color cards;
• shiny wrapping paper;
• glue "Moment";
• sackcloth;
• acrylic paint beige or pink;
• acrylic lacquer;
• various decorative elements.

Step by step execution:

Cut out two circles from cardboard and postcards, the diameter of which is equal to the diameter of the reel from the tape. Just outline the bobbin and cut it out, then use the first circle as a template for making subsequent circles

We glue the cardboard circle and the circle from the postcard in pairs, glue the edges of the bobbin on one side with glue, glue the circle to it with the postcard on the outside

We also glue the surface inside the reel with a strip of wrapping paper

We disassemble the wooden clothespins, alternately glue the scotch tape reel with them from the outside, tightly pressing the clothespins together

We mix acrylic paint with acrylic varnish and paint the box, not forgetting about the inner side on top

We weave a long pigtail out of twine, we tie it around the box being made in those places where two grooves have formed, around the entire circumference of the box. We also close the lower seam and the inner one with a twine pigtail

To make the lid, glue the burlap to the second cardboard circle with the postcard, placing it on the side of the cardboard, glue the edge with a decorative pigtail made of twine

On the cover of a DIY New Year's craft for the 2020 Year of the Rat, we glue various New Year's decor elements to make a bright, elegant composition

• small decorative beads.

Step by step execution:

Preparing the cones, our task is to get one large oblong golden cone

We choose a large cone from two, cut off the top with pliers, attach the second cone, the design should look like one cone

If we succeed, then paint both cones in golden color with gouache mixed with acrylic varnish, leave to dry

On the selected New Year's ball, glue a ribbon with rhinestones in the center of the entire circle

Glue the cones dried from the paint into one, turn them over and glue the Christmas ball on top, decorate the junction with spruce branches with glued or inserted beads

We also decorate our big cone with beads or other elements

• thickened white fabric or faux fur;
• pink or white jersey from a T-shirt;

• stapler;
• glue;
• decor elements: buttons, snowflakes; beads.

Step by step execution:

We roll up a cone out of cardboard for a DIY Christmas craft for 2020 Rats, fix the structure with a stapler or glue it

We retreat 6 cm from the top of the cone and make small holes into which we insert a wire bent in half

We strengthen the joints with tape and glue

We wrap the cone - the body of Santa Claus with a padding polyester, giving volume, we also grab our hands, we fix everything with threads

We make a simple pattern for a fur coat, for which we set aside on paper along the bottom line of the fur coat a size equal to half the circumference of the cone from below

• The length of the fur coat is equal to the height of the cone, set aside this size on the pattern.
• We measure from above the width of the fur coat sweep along with the sleeves. Lay down the width of the sleeves, 7 cm, draw the sleeves and connect all the points.

We fold the red fabric in half and cut out two details of the fur coat according to the pattern made. We sew them on a typewriter, leaving the neck

We put on a fur coat on a cone - the body and decorate with white dense material or artificial fur. We cut out and sew on simple details: a fold-down wide stand-up collar, an edge on the bottom of the fur coat, two strips - edges on the sleeves, stripes for decorating the front of the fur coat

We make a ball from crumpled newspapers - the head of our Santa Claus, wrap it with threads, wrap it in a synthetic winterizer, then tighten it with a prepared piece of knitwear

We sew on eyes - buttons and shape the nose, tint with powder cheeks, apply hair from synthetic winterizer

Under the nose we hem or glue a mustache and a long beard made of padding polyester, make notches along the edges, fluff

We sew a hat and gloves from red fabric, sew a white edge to the hat, fasten all the details in place, decorate the fur coat with shiny elements. Santa Claus turned out to be simply gorgeous

Christmas tree pendants

This master class will not only help you create a stylish element of New Year's decor or a Christmas tree decoration, but also introduce you to the popular kanzashi needlework technique.

You will need:

• satin ribbons 6 mm wide in different colors;
• candle;
• scissors;
• tweezers;
• glue;
• beads are shiny.

Step by step execution:

We cut ribbons for one element of the composition:

• from green - 2 and 3 cm;
• from blue - 4 and 5 cm;
• from white - 6 cm.

Manufacturing:

We fold each ribbon in half, take it by the tips with tweezers, burn the candles on the fire so that the ribbon does not crumble

Having completed such elements, we insert them into each other, moving from a larger size to a smaller one

Having made several such elements, we compose a composition from them, gluing the elements to each other at the junction points

Do not forget to start the composition by gluing two elements to a white ribbon loop and decorate with prepared beads

We set the crown of the tree on top, you can also add New Year's shiny elements to the decor, but even in this form for the New Year with such a tree you will be happy!
