It's time to decorate your house for its arrival so that Santa Claus does not pass by on his magic sleigh and leaves good gifts under our tree. It is very interesting to decorate the Christmas tree and rooms with homemade toys for the holiday. The process of making them is fascinating, as is any creativity. Such crafts can be made from the simplest materials, for example, from plastic bottles. From ordinary plastic bottles you can make a lot of interesting and beautiful things that can successfully replace store-bought analogues. Our story today is dedicated to the 7 best and original crafts made from plastic bottles for the New Year 2020, which will be held under the sign of the White Metal Rat. Let's look at them in detail in our article.

Christmas tree

An unusual Christmas tree can be made from simple plastic bottles. It is important to collect the necessary materials for this craft and follow the master class step by step.

To do this you will need:

  • Plastic bottles;
  • Scotch;
  • Sandpaper (cardboard);
  • Scissors.

Progress:

  1. The bottom and neck of the bottle should be removed, and then you will get a straight pipe. Then you should prepare blanks from twigs. They must be of different sizes so that the Christmas tree turns out to be cone-shaped.
  2. Then the plastic bottles need to be cut lengthwise into 3 parts so that subsequent tiers are smaller than the previous ones. You need to make needles on each workpiece, and to do this they are cut into thin strips, but not completely. To make the Christmas tree stand stable, it is advisable to use the bottom of one of the bottles as a stand.
  3. A sheet of cardboard needs to be rolled into a tube and placed in the neck of the bottle. You can secure it with tape. Now each tier of branches needs to be secured to the tree. You can install a toy on the top or come up with something else. To make the Christmas tree fluffy, the needles should be cut thinner. Usually blue or transparent bottles are used for this. That's all, our craft is ready!

Christmas balls

You can decorate your Christmas tree with handmade toys. In your work, it is important to follow all the steps step by step, and then you will get wonderful products.

To do this you will need:

  • Plastic bottle;
  • Glue;
  • Rain;
  • Any shiny jewelry.

Progress:

  1. The paper needs to be wrapped around the bottle: this will help mark the workpieces on it. It is necessary to cut 4 rings 1 cm wide. Then the rings must be fastened together using the “crosswise” principle and secured with glue. The result should be a ball of plastic strips. You need to choose beautiful threads or rain so that the toy can be used for the Christmas tree.
  2. To decorate the resulting blanks, it is better to use foil, beads, seed beads, etc. You can place a small ball inside such a ball. You can use as much imagination as you like with this craft. This will be a very interesting activity for children.

Snowflakes from plastic bottles

To expand the range of crafts made from plastic bottles for the New Year 2020, you can also make snowflakes from the bottoms of bottles as a Christmas tree decoration. This process will also be possible for beginners in this creative endeavor.

To work you will need:

  • Scissors;
  • Acrylic paints of white, blue, gold, silver - to choose from;
  • Plastic bottles, preferably blue;
  • Paint brush;
  • Wire;
  • Pliers.

Progress:

  1. We take plastic bottles and, using a utility knife or scissors, cut the bottom as low as possible to the base, leaving only the grooved part.
  2. After the bottoms are ready, we begin painting our future snowflakes. Depending on the desired design, select the thickness of the brush, and then start painting. As drawings, you can use various ornaments that come to your mind. This also applies to the choice of paint color with which you will decorate your New Year's product.
  3. Once your snowflake has turned into a beautifully painted masterpiece, give it time to dry while you use wire and pliers to make a small eyelet for the thread. Attach it to the snowflake and thread the thread into this ring.

Well, our New Year's toy for Christmas tree decoration is ready, which you now have the right to be proud of. A snowflake made by yourself can serve as a worthy decoration not only for your home, but also for a kindergarten if you have a small child, and can also act as an exhibit at an exhibition of New Year’s products at a school.

Penguins made from plastic bottles

An original New Year's decoration for your home for the New Year 2020 can be penguins made from plastic bottles, which should be placed in the rooms and under the tree as decoration. This craft will delight all your family and guests, and especially children. Without spending a lot of time, you will create with your own hands a real masterpiece of art that will cause a lot of positive emotions and sincere smiles in your household.

To work you will need:

  • Scissors;
  • Acrylic paints - white, black, red and others;
  • Brushes;
  • Small colored scraps for a scarf;
  • Buboes or bows for hats;
  • Glue.

Progress:

  1. We take the bottle and cut off the top part almost completely or half to get the body of a penguin. The head is made from another bottle and also from the lower part, but the workpiece should be slightly smaller.
  2. We connect both blanks by inserting the upper part, which is smaller, into the lower part, which is larger.
  3. After you have built the penguin's body, start painting it. Take acrylic paints and carefully apply them to a plastic product, imitating the color of a penguin, as shown in the photo. Use more bright colors, because the brighter your New Year's penguin turns out, the warmer and more cheerful the smiles of your family will be.
  4. When your penguin takes on a realistic look, you can tie a small scarf around its neck and attach a bubo or bow to its cap with glue.

The Christmas tree is the main decoration of the New Year, and every time we try to decorate it in an original way. In addition to classic New Year's toys, you can hang original handmade decorations on the Christmas tree. Crafts made by a child on his own are pleasing to the eye and look especially beautiful.

Paper toys

This is the most common type of Christmas tree decorations. For example, to make jewelry from thick paper you will need:

  • thick textured paper;
  • hole puncher;
  • decorative pin with beads

First, cut the paper into even strips. We punch holes at the ends of each strip with a hole punch. Then we put pins through the holes and secure. Now we bend the strips into a circle and make a hemisphere. At the end, simply straighten the strips and decorate with a ribbon. This makes an interesting decoration for the Christmas tree.

Then carefully cut out all the details on colored paper. On a large part, glue the edges of the wings in the center. We glue the prepared part onto the sheet-shaped blank. We attach the strip to the middle of the bow, clasping it across. We decorate the cat toy for the Christmas tree with sparkles and chopped tinsel.

creative balloons

Old CDs make wonderful ice “shards.” For work we use plastic balls, CDs, scissors and a glue gun. First, cut the CDs into any shape. Apply glue to the surface of the ball and secure the fragments from the disk in the desired order. We do not leave empty spaces on the ball. As a result, we get a festive toy with a soft shine.

Felt toys

A fluffy felt toy will look beautiful and stylish on the Christmas tree. To create it you need:

  • felt from different colors;
  • strong thread;
  • scissors;
  • mat;
  • ruler

Using a ruler, scissors and a mat, cut out strips of felt of all colors 8 cm long and 0.5 cm wide. Take a thread 20 cm long. We collect multi-colored strips in the desired combination and tie them tightly in the middle with a thread. Having fluffed the strips with your hands, we tie the two ends of the thread together. The result is a fluffy and bright “bomb”.

You can make interesting animals or a Christmas tree from felt if you decorate them with beads and beads. By the way, such toys will become original gifts for children at school and kindergarten if you are going to organize competitions at the holiday.

Toys from old Christmas balls

There are several ways to transform an old Christmas ball:

  • cover the ball with multi-colored buttons of different sizes, and glue beads on top;
  • paint it with white paint, then glue sparkles, sequins, and beads onto the ball;
  • hand paint the toy.

In addition to the restored balls, pine cones decorated with bows and sparkles will fit perfectly into the decor of the New Year tree.

Volumetric toys for the Christmas tree can be easily made from papier-mâché. To do this, prepare a mixture of paper. First, take any paper, cut it into small pieces and fill it with hot water so that it is completely soaked and saturated. Stir the resulting mass until smooth. Then we pass the finished mass through the mesh. Small lumps of paper will settle in it. We take it out of the mesh, chop it again and add glue. As a result, we will have a dough-like consistency. From this dough we begin to sculpt figures with our hands or using molds. We leave the toys to dry for a day. As soon as they dry, we paint and decorate with decorative ribbons, beads, and buttons.

Used light bulbs can be painted with bright colors, sprinkled with glitter or covered with beads.

Do not rush to throw away the remains of fiberboard and plywood. We will cut out animal figures from them with a jigsaw, paint them with bright colors and varnish them. They will last a long time even for an outdoor Christmas tree.

These homemade Christmas tree toys can be easily made from available materials at home. Decorating a house for the holiday with them is pleasant and interesting, and it is not at all necessary to buy expensive decorations.


DIY Christmas tree toys /Christmas toys

The Christmas tree is, of course, the main decoration of the New Year. On the eve of the upcoming holiday, the whole family dresses up the forest beauty. Standard Christmas tree decorations have already become boring. However, you can decorate the Christmas tree with something you made yourself; for example, a Christmas tree toy made with your own hands from plastic bottles will look great. In addition, the creation process will bring a lot of pleasure to your children.

Today, making your own Christmas tree decorations is not difficult. Even if you lack skills in this area, you can always use a helper such as the Internet. This article will look at the simplest ways to create toys for the Christmas tree with your own hands.

Volumetric toys

Before diving into the creative process, you need to decide on the type of material used. You can make a three-dimensional decoration from absolutely any available materials. Naturally, paper products are the most popular. They have earned their fame due to their ease of manufacture. In addition, such Christmas tree toys, created with your own hands, look quite impressive on the forest beauty.

A voluminous toy can also be made using thick thread or twine. It’s just important to take into account the fact that creating such a masterpiece will require a large amount of glue. Jewelry made from beads looks quite original. Of course, it will take a lot of time to make such a toy, but it is worth it.

Volumetric paper decoration

To make jewelry you will need the following:

  1. Colored paper.
  2. Ribbon.
  3. Paper glue (preferably quick-drying).

Step-by-step instruction

Do-it-yourself voluminous Christmas tree toy is done as follows:

  1. First of all, you need to cut out eight circles from paper. To make the decoration look impressive, it is recommended to use different colors. It is important that the circles are the same size.
  2. Each piece is folded in half, with the front side on the inside.
  3. After that, glue must be applied to the wrong side of each half, then the parts are connected to each other.
  4. And finally, the first and last halves are glued together. Don’t forget to thread a ribbon through the toy, with which it will be attached to the Christmas tree.

A DIY Christmas tree toy created using the method described above can be made not only using colored paper. You can also use clippings from old magazines, old postcards, or even your children’s self-drawn pictures.

New Year's balls made of threads

As mentioned above, Christmas tree decorations can be made from more than just paper. Balls made of thread look quite attractive. And most importantly, their creation does not require special skills or large financial costs.

To make Christmas tree toys from threads with your children’s hands, you will need the following:

  1. Yarn.
  2. A bowl.
  3. Balloons.
  4. Scissors.
  5. Fat cream (vaseline).
  6. PVA glue.

How to make balls of thread - instructions

  1. First you need to inflate the balloons. Their number depends on how many Christmas tree decorations you plan to make. Please note that you do not need to inflate the balloons to a gigantic size, because the decorations on the Christmas tree should be miniature.
  2. Once the “template” is ready, you should move on to the main stage of the creative process. To do this, you need to dilute water and PVA glue in a bowl in a ratio of 1:3. Yarn is placed into the resulting mixture (for about 5 minutes).
  3. While the “base” of the toy is soaking, it is necessary to cover the balls with thick cream or Vaseline. This is done so that the thread does not slip off the workpiece.
  4. The yarn should then be wound around the ball. The distance between the threads must first be large. When wrapping the ball with thread, this distance will be reduced.
  5. At the end of this process, the thread must be cut and glued to the ball. Now the almost finished toy for the Christmas tree, made with your own hands, must dry.
  6. After a day, the balloon is deflated and then removed from the toy. The Christmas tree decoration is ready. All that remains is to attach the rope.

When making this decoration, you can use multi-colored yarn. The finished craft is also decorated with sparkles, tinsel or beads.

Christmas tree decorations - heart and ball

For such decorations you will need the following tools and materials:

  1. Scissors.
  2. Tweezers.
  3. Glue gun.
  4. A reel of small plastic beads.
  5. Small and large plastic garlands.
  6. Decorated cord.
  7. Heart and ball made of foam.

This method is perfect for decorating not very flashy Christmas tree balls made of plastic or updating old ones. In this case, you can use cords and beads of various diameters. For small balls, it is advisable to take a thread of small beads and a thin cord; on large ones you can stick both small and large beads. A Christmas tree toy decorated with your own hands using three threads and cords at the same time looks no less original.

Manufacturing instructions

  1. Unravel the finished garland into separate threads. Take the cord and use tweezers or small scissors to plunge the end into the foam ball.
  2. Apply a small amount of glue to the surface of the ball (in the place where the cord is attached) and secure the end of the bead thread.
  3. Then the ball is gradually covered with glue and at the same time beads and cord are laid on it (row by row) until the entire surface is filled.
  4. Then you need to cut off all the excess and immerse the end of the cord in foam. Thread the needle, then pass it through the cord to create a hanging loop.

The foam heart is decorated in the same way. Using a glue gun, a string of beads is attached to its edge. The beads are glued to one side, the turns are gradually laid in the direction from the edge to the center.

It is not at all necessary to use beads of the same color and size. When you get close to the center of the heart, cut the thread, then glue small pieces of it, cutting off the required number of beads using scissors. After completing one side of the craft, move on to the other. Finally, attach a ribbon or string for hanging.

DIY Christmas tree toy: big balls

To make Christmas balls from plastic bottles, you will need:

  1. Plastic bottle (it is important that stiffening ribs run around the bottle in rings).
  2. Old CDs.
  3. Beads or small balls for decoration.
  4. Sequins.
  5. Rain - preferably dense, which does not stretch from tension.
  6. Glue (it is better to use “Moment”).
  7. Stationery knife.

How to make Christmas tree balls from plastic bottles

  1. First you need to thoroughly wash the bottle. As a result, a layer of glue from the label will remain on its surface. It can be easily removed with tape; to do this, stick it to the place where the glue is and then tear it off. Such manipulations should be continued until the glue is completely removed from the plastic.
  2. Let's proceed directly to making a masterpiece. So, 1 ball - 1 bottle. There are grooves on the side surface, along which you need to cut the bottle using a stationery knife.
  3. The resulting rings need to be trimmed with scissors so that they are the same in width.
  4. 4 rings are connected and secured to each other using rain. Do the same on both poles, making a loop on one of them.
  5. For passionate fans of minimalism, this Christmas tree toy, made with your own hands from plastic bottles, is completely ready. Everyone else can move on to the next step.
  6. Balls can be decorated in various ways and materials. For example, wrap it in rain, cover it with pieces of a CD or sequins. You can also use plastic beads, rain trimmings, shells, beads and much more as decoration.

DIY Christmas tree toy: large plastic decorations

Almost every home has used plastic bottles, but not everyone knows what beautiful crafts can be made from them. For example, a flower made from the bottom of a bottle. To make such a toy you will need:

  1. Super glue.
  2. Decorations.
  3. Gouache or acrylic paints.
  4. Colorless plastic bottle.
  5. Scissors.
  6. The cord for fastening is approximately 30-40 cm long.

Manufacturing

A DIY Christmas tree toy for kindergarten made from a plastic bottle is done as follows:

  1. Using a stationery knife or scissors, carefully cut off the bottom of the plastic bottle.
  2. The surface of the bottom is covered with acrylic paint. This paint is resistant to any weather conditions, so the toy can later be used to decorate a street Christmas tree. If you don’t have acrylic paints, use gouache to create a decoration for home use.
  3. The bottom can be decorated with rhinestones, beads or painting. A satin ribbon is glued along the edge of the cut.
  4. Using an awl, a hole is made for fastening. A ribbon or cord is pulled through it so that a loop appears on the outside, and the knotted ends remain inside the flower.
  5. A DIY Christmas tree toy for kindergarten!

If you use two bottoms, you will get a more voluminous toy. The sequence of actions when making such a decoration will remain the same, only at the end the halves are connected by cuts. To do this, you will need superglue or double-sided tape, as well as satin ribbon to mask the connecting seam.

Soft fabric Christmas tree

It is not at all necessary for the Christmas tree to be green and prickly; it can be soft and pink. We will sew a decoration that is suitable not only for the Christmas tree, but also as New Year’s decor for your home.

For this you will need:

  1. Fabric size 15 x 22 cm.
  2. Pattern.
  3. Embroidery threads.

Step-by-step instruction

So, the soft toy “Christmas tree” is made with your own hands according to the following scheme:

  1. Download the pattern or make your own, print and cut out. It is advisable that it be on cardboard.
  2. Fold the fabric in half. Place the pattern on it, circle it with chalk, then mark the hole through which your Christmas tree toy “Christmas tree” will be stuffed with your own hands.
  3. Next, without touching the holes, sew the pattern. In order not to spoil the shape of the tree, you need to be especially careful when bending.
  4. Now cut out the pattern as close to the seam as possible. You need to leave a little more space at the material hole.
  5. Turn the Christmas tree inside out, shape it and iron it.
  6. Make six marks on the fabric where the knots should be.
  7. Fill the decoration with a small amount of polyester (about the size of a chicken egg).
  8. Then you need to sew up the hole. At the top, fasten the thread and tie it with a knot.
  9. In order to make knots, in the places marked with dots on the pattern, you need to sew stitches in front, back and back.
  10. Then you should tie a bow from a decorative ribbon and sew it at the very top with a few stitches.
  11. Now the educational toy “Christmas tree”, sewn with your own hands, is completely ready.

Funny toys for the Christmas tree

  1. After you select the shape you like, cut out a template from thick cardboard. Then select the threads - they should be voluminous and dense.
  2. A thread is attached to the template, after which we wrap it around our Christmas tree toy with our own hands so as to cover all the cardboard.
  3. Next you need to sew on a rope for hanging.
  4. The toy must be thoroughly soaked on both sides with glue.
  5. Once the glue has dried, you can start decorating. If we plan to make a giraffe, then first we apply brown acrylic paint.
  6. After the paint has dried, use masking tape to cover the areas not intended for painting.
  7. Next, a second layer of acrylic paint is applied.
  8. After drying, the toy can be decorated with beads or sequins, and details can be outlined (ears, eyes).
  9. The Christmas tree decoration is ready.

New Year's Eve with toys in which a piece of your own heart has been invested will become the most unforgettable event!

1. Christmas tree made from plastic bottles

Prepare a Christmas tree like this green plastic bottle, scotch, scissors(such that they can easily cut a plastic bottle, Whatman tube. The only thing you can add to such a Christmas tree is to decorate it with beads, gluing them to the Christmas tree with glue. You can hang a rain ribbon. You can make this craft with your children. Next, we do everything as in the photo:

To make a decorative New Year's craft: a Christmas tree from plastic bottles, you will need the following:

  1. Plastic bottles - 3 pcs;
  2. Scotch;
  3. A sheet of thick paper, ideally whatman paper (A4);
  4. Scissors;

So, cut the bottle as shown in the photo below. That is, it is necessary to cut off the bottom and neck so that a straight pipe from the bottle remains.

Cut each plastic bottle lengthwise into 3 equal parts and then adjust their sizes so that each subsequent tier is slightly smaller than the previous one. Then each workpiece must be “dissolved into needles.” The neck of one of the bottles will serve as a stand for our future New Year's craft.

The next step is to roll the Whatman paper into a tube. We insert it into the neck of the bottle and secure it with tape in a circle.

You can decorate the top of our New Year's tree with a homemade Christmas tree toy or complete the tree the way we did.

If you want to make a fluffier Christmas tree from PET bottles, like the one in the photo below, when making the Christmas tree, you need to cut the needles as thinly as possible (more often).

2. For Christmas trees made from plastic bottles You will need green bottles of various sizes and a wooden stick with a diameter slightly smaller than the neck. The length of the stick will determine the height of the tree and the number of bottles.

I guess it's ready)

4. Another very interesting option

For production we will need:

  • scissors
  • green bottle
  • cork plug
  • round glass of cottage cheese dessert
  • candle
  • glue.

Also find foam rubber. We cut a piece of a kitchen sponge for washing dishes.

First, cut the green bottle into squares or circles of different sizes. For the bottom of the Christmas tree, the width of the square should be at least 6-7 cm, for the middle - about 5 cm, for the top of the head 2-3 cm is enough.

Now, using scissors, we densely break through the edges of the stars. You can call your household for help. In fact, the work is painstaking and requires a lot of patience. Edging the edges takes approximately 30 minutes. To make the spruce paws look more natural, we bring the plastic to the flame of a candle. The tips of our coniferous branches will gracefully curl down. Here is the finished result.

It's time to apply glue and foam rubber. Cut the sponge into small pieces (1x1 cm).

Now we lubricate the largest spruce paw with glue, and put a cube of foam rubber on top. Add glue again and cover it with green plastic.

We continue working until we run out of parts. Do not forget that we are “building a pyramid”, and therefore with each subsequent gluing we focus on the size of the plastic star.

All that remains is to design the trunk of the coniferous tree. Of course, its role will be played by a cork plug. However, to make the craft resistant to tipping over, we will place a small yellow bucket in the tree. Let's cut it out of a round cup.

Lubricate the bottom of the bucket with glue and place a cork barrel in the center. Set aside the part for 2-3 minutes, let it dry completely.

We connect the crown with the trunk. The result was a slender emerald Christmas tree made from plastic bottles. A real forest beauty.

Bottom line

5. By the way, the Christmas tree also looks quite creative with larger “branches”
We cut the bottle into 3 parts. Only make cuts in a circle towards the center, straight.

A puncture is made in the center with an awl and the needles are bent up and down in order. A puncture is made in the lid of the cream or mineral water into which a skewer of the required length is inserted.

The parts are strung in descending order, with a large bead placed on top of the glue. The Christmas tree can be decorated with polystyrene foam, rain, etc.

Glue the Christmas tree onto the disk stand.
The Christmas tree is ready






Plastic bottles cause horror among all environmentalists on our planet. The problem is that repeated use of this (seemingly) convenient device is harmful to the body. How to be? The answer is simple - creativity. New Year's toys made from old bottles will create incredible comfort. Making them will be as easy and enjoyable as possible, and we will show and tell you how to make them yourself. Let's start with the video.

The simplest craft option

For this craft you will need:

  • bottom of the bottle;
  • paint/markers/markers;
  • needle, thread, fishing line;
  • paper;
  • ribbon.

It is necessary to cut off the bottom of the bottle (you can take any volume). And then do some magic on it: paint it or leave the original color, decorate it with snowflakes, make a hole and thread a fishing line on which the toy will hang on the Christmas tree. You can make a single design using the same fishing line. All this can be seen in the photo below. We have selected several master classes.

Balls from a bottle

In this case, we just need to cut our bottle into strips. These strips must be the same length and width. They need to be glued at one end and then at the other so that the future Christmas ball is formed. This ball can be decorated as you please: so you can build on this, and also refer to traditional New Year’s symbols (sparkles, ribbons, red/green/gold paints, rain, pine cones, etc.).

Bells from a bottle

Bells in the form of a New Year's toy will decorate the Christmas tree with their presence. How to make them - the top part of the bottle is necessary, because it is similar in shape. You will need paper, foil, paints, tinsel, fishing line, ribbons, glue. Part of the bottle should be wrapped in foil, secured with glue (preferably instant fixation) and decorated with snowflakes, tinsel, etc.

One two Three! Shine Christmas tree!

For this Christmas tree decoration you will need several bottles. Again, we take several of the upper parts, cut them into small strips, and place them on top of each other. The lower part can serve as a base. They can be secured with glue, but this is optional. Decorate with balls, beads or tinsel.

A few more ideas...

Toys made from bottles are just your imagination, which you can literally make into reality with your own hands. You can use any paints. The shape depends on preference. It is not necessary to take small bottles; for example, you can make a Santa Claus from a five-liter bottle (you can make a beard from plastic spoons). Lids can also become a Christmas tree decoration. We have selected several ideas.
