With the New Year holidays approaching, everyone wants to create a fabulous atmosphere in their home. Consider several master classes on how to make beautiful crafts for the New Year 2021 from cotton pads with your own hands.

Christmas tree

For the New Year 2021, Christmas trees can be made from different materials, even from simple cotton pads. The New Year's beauty turns out to be interesting and unusual. This craft will become a real home decoration for the holiday.

Materials:

• cardboard;
• cotton pads;
• beads for decoration;
• glue.

Master Class:

We fold the cardboard into a cone, fix the edges with glue or double-sided tape. This will be the base of the tree

Now we make needles for the Christmas tree from cotton pads. To do this, take a disc, bend it in half, apply glue to the fold line and glue the two sides together. We make a lot of such blanks from cotton pads

Then we take the first workpiece, apply glue to the fold line and glue it to the cone

We glue all the needles around the cone, row by row, to the very top

When the Christmas tree is ready, we straighten its needles a little and glue the multi-colored beads

A Christmas tree made of cotton pads does not have to be only white, because the material can be painted in any color. To do this, dilute the paint a little with water, lower the cotton pad, and then leave it to dry on an oilcloth.

Cotton pads applications

Together with the children for the New Year 2021, you can make beautiful applications from cotton pads. The proposed master classes are very simple, the most interesting. Kids will really like making such crafts with their own hands.

Herringbone

You will need:

• cotton pads;
• paper;
• paints;
• colored paper;
• braid.

Master Class:

For application, you will need six cotton pads, roll each one up with a bag and fasten it with a stapler

At the bottom of the paper we glue three small bags, on top two and one more - the Christmas tree has already turned out

Now we paint the needles green with a regular brush, just moisten it well with water

Cut a star out of red paper, glue it

We take a thin golden or silver braid, glue it as if it were a garland

You can decorate the Christmas tree with other decorations, and supplement the applique with cotton drifts or cotton pads.

Bullfinches

You will need:

• cotton pads;
• cardboard;
• gouache.

Master Class:

Draw a tree on black cardboard with white paint: first the trunk, and then the crown with point movements. With a regular napkin, we kind of blot the paint. The result is a beautiful, snow-covered tree

Cut the cotton pad in half, round one corner of each half. This will be the head of the bullfinch

Now we draw the tummy with red gouache, and the head, back and wing with black gouache. Also draw the eye and beak in black

Apply a little glue to the branches and "plant" bullfinches on the tree

The bullfinch can be made smaller, just make the semicircle smaller.

Angels from cotton pads

You can make the most interesting and beautiful New Year's decorations from cotton pads, for example, such delicate and airy angels.

Materials:

• cotton pads;
• ribbon;
• braid;
• scissors, glue;
• decorations.

Master Class:

There are two ways to make a head. For the first, we take a cotton pad and sew with white threads along the edge with a needle-forward seam. Put a cotton ball in the middle, tighten the thread, tie it into a knot

For the second method, we cut the cotton pad in half, make a ball of cotton wool, place it in the middle of the cotton pad. We wrap the edges with thread and tie in a knot

For the body, we take a cotton pad, wrap it around the head, smear one side with glue, connect it

We decorate the dress of an angel with any decorations. Now we take another cotton pad and, as in the photo, cut out the wing. We put the wing on a cotton pad and cut out another wing of the same kind along it

We glue the wings to the angel. Next, we take the golden braid and make a halo - just wrap it around the head, cut off the excess, fix it with glue

We make handles for the angel. We take two discs, cut out a little more than a fourth part. We twist it with a bag, fasten the edges with glue and then glue the handles to the angel

We tie the ribbon in a bow and glue it to the angel

The wings can be cut out of cardboard, and then faux white feathers can be glued to it.

Marshmallow ball

From affordable cotton pads, you can make a fun craft, as in the step-by-step photos. This is a marshmallow ball that looks very nice. It will serve as an unusual New Year's decoration.

Materials:

• foam ball;
• cotton pads;
• ribbon;
• beads for the Christmas tree;
• glue.

Master Class:

Cut the cotton pads in half

We put one half of the disk on the other and sew, as in the photo, with a simple stitch. So we fix four details

We tighten the thread, clamp it and, as a result, we get a kind of flower. We make 16-20 more of these colors, the exact amount will depend on the diameter of the base

We make a hole in the foam ball, drip a little glue, insert the ribbon for hanging

Now we completely glue the ball in a circle with flowers from cotton pads

We divide the beads for the Christmas tree into separate beads and randomly glue them onto the ball

If the foam ball was not at hand, then any plastic Christmas tree decoration can be taken as a basis.

Santa Claus from cotton pads

What is the New Year without Santa Claus? And we will also make it from ordinary cotton pads. Such a craft can be hung on a Christmas tree.

Materials:

• cotton pads;
• red yarn;
• plastic spoon;
• buttons;
• ribbon;
• felt-tip pens;
• scissors, glue.

Master Class:

We take a cotton pad, bend one side to the center

On the other half, we make cuts along the edge. Draw a smile under the bent line with a red felt-tip pen

Now we apply glue to a regular plastic spoon without grabbing the tip

Wrap the spoon tightly with red yarn

Grease the rest with glue and connect the convex side with the face of Santa Claus

Glue a clean cotton pad on the back of the spoon

On the tip of the pen, on both sides, glue small circles cut from cotton pads

Cut out a very small circle from a cotton pad, paint it red and glue it in place of the nose

Instead of a peephole, we glue small black buttons. At the end, we make a loop from the tape and glue it to the craft

You can glue not buttons, but toy eyes - you get a funny and cheerful Santa Claus.

Goby from cotton pads

The coming year will be held under the auspices of the White Bull. Therefore, the new symbol of the year should also not be ignored, but made from simple cotton pads. The master class is simple, interesting and will surely please the smallest masters.

Materials:

• cotton pads;
• cotton buds;
• toy eyes;
• cilia;
• threads, scissors;
• glue;
• dry cosmetics.

Master Class:

For the ears, fold the cotton pad in half, cut it in half

We wrap the ends of each part with thread, form ears. Cut off the tips of about 0.5 cm from cotton swabs. These will be horns

We put two cotton pads together, insert ears and horns between them. Fold another cotton pad in half. This will be the muzzle that we apply to the head

We put two more discs folded together to the head, this will be the body. Now we make the legs. Fold the disc in half and cut it out as shown in the photo

We put the legs between the disks of the body. For the tail, we take the remaining stick from the horns, cut the brush out of a cotton pad, make small cuts

Now, as in the photo, we cut out the front legs from the cotton pad, we also fold the sponge in half. We put the front legs between the disks of the goby's body

Then we glue all the parts, put the eyes and eyelashes on the glue. You can also make a bow as a decoration from the braid. Using a cotton swab and dry cosmetics, draw the nostrils and eyebrows

It is not necessary to use dry cosmetics; you can use ordinary felt-tip pens.

DIY crafts from cotton pads will allow you to create a unique, fabulous and truly New Year's atmosphere for the New Year 2021. Choose any master class you like, show your imagination and work wonders with the whole family.
