How to make Christmas tree toys from plastic bottles. Decorating a street tree with handmade toys

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

The easiest 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 conjure over it: paint or leave the original color, decorate with snowflakes, make a hole and thread the fishing line on which the toy will hang on the tree. You can make a single structure 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 must be glued together at one end, and then at the other in such a way that a future Christmas ball is obtained. You can decorate this ball as you like: therefore, you can build on this, and also refer to the traditional New Year symbols (sequins, ribbons, red / green / gold paints, rain, cones, etc.).

Bells from a bottle

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

One two Three! Shine Christmas tree!

You will need several bottles for this Christmas tree decoration. Again, we take several upper parts, cut them into small strips, put 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 from bottles are just your imagination, which you can literally realize with your own hands. You can take any paints. The form depends on preference. It is not necessary to take small bottles, for example, you can make a grandfather frost from a five-liter bottle (you can make a beard from plastic spoons). Lids can also become a Christmas tree decoration. We've picked up a few ideas.

Most recently, I was visiting my friend. Elena has been doing needlework for a very long time, and it is from her that I often borrow amazing ideas for creativity. Everything that the girl comes up with, she tries to immediately implement.

DIY Christmas tree toys from scrap materials for children

First of all, I want to offer you interesting ideas for creating jewelry from different and almost any materials that are in every home.

Be sure to involve your children in creativity, because they are the ones who are most waiting for this magical holiday - New Year. And it will be incredibly pleasant for them to weigh toys on the Christmas tree that they will make themselves.

I suggest you make an interesting decoration in the form of a small Christmas tree from an egg tray.

"Herringbone from the egg tray"

You will need:

• gouache;
• Super glue;
• paper packaging for eggs;
• scissors;
• brushes;
• PVA glue;
• thread;
• pencil.

Manufacturing process:

1. Take a paper bag of eggs and cut out 5-7 cells. Cut out the details from them as shown in the photo. Cut one of the cells in half, this will be the top.

2. Glue the pieces together to form a tree. Roll the parts that turned out from the halves with a cone and glue at the top.

3. Take a green gouache and paint the workpiece.

4. From the remains of the paper packaging, cut out, and if necessary, glue the decorations. Make small balls from a mixture of small pieces of paper and PVA glue.

5. Color the decorations.

6. Dress up the Christmas tree by gluing the entire decor. Do not forget to glue the string by which you will weigh the toy.

7. Cover the product with transparent varnish and dry. All is ready!

If you are a lover of expensive wine, then after emptying the bottle, do not rush to melt with its cork. Collect them. And at the right time they will come in handy. For example, use them for the following purpose.

"Souvenir from wine corks"

You will need:

• 6 natural wine bottle corks;
• natural twine;
• Super glue;
• scissors;
• confetti, small beads.

Manufacturing process:

1. Carefully cut each plug into 3 equal pieces with a knife.

The knife must be sharp so that the plugs do not crumble.

2. You should end up with 18 pieces.

3. Now lay out small triangles from these pieces on a hard surface. One triangle should consist of 6 pieces of cork. There should be 3 triangles in total.

4. Glue each resulting triangle.

5. Cut three strings of 40 cm from the string.

6. Tie each string in the middle, forming a loop.

7. Take the dried up triangle, attach the loop knot to the top, while smearing the place of their contact with glue.

8. Draw the string around the entire triangle, and tie the loose ends tightly into a knot.

9. For a tighter fixation, the thread can also be coated with transparent glue.

10. Do the same with the two remaining triangular blanks.

Now try to make beautiful snowmen out of iron plugs.

"Snowmen"

You will need:

• tapes;
• bottle caps;
• acrylic paints;
• buttons;
• glue.

Manufacturing process:

1. Get three good, non-deformed bottle caps. Wash and dry them. Then paint with white acrylic paint.

2. After the blanks are dry, glue the lids onto the tape, leaving a loop on top.

4. Cut a small strip out of the satin ribbon. This will be a scarf. Tie it over the stoppers. And in the middle, glue a button. A bright decoration in the form of a snowman is completely ready.

You can also use not only the corks, but the bottles themselves. Only not glass, but plastic. For example, cutting them into halves, and then gluing the parts of the desired length, you get an excellent blank for any toy. Imagine. And then, using paints, revive the plastic blanks.

This is how beautiful and bright you can make a penguin. I think everything will be clear to you according to the scheme.

Or fill the bottles with any New Year's souvenirs and decorate the top.

You can also cut strips from plastic and collect a ball.

Here's a simple idea for making small toys out of paper and satin ribbons. Find New Year's pictures on the Internet, print them in the shape of a circle, cut them out. Then glue it onto the cardboard. Weave the ribbons together and paste over the outline with them. Glue the eyelet.

And here's another paper assembly for you. Also a very simple product, just for kids. Print the diagram, cut it out. Assemble the craft along the fold lines, glue it. Decorate with beads, clay, etc. Glue the loop bow. That's all!

"Crystal ball"

You will need:

• half-beads made of glass and plastic;
• foam balls;
• trimming satin ribbons;
• scissors;
• glue gun.

Manufacturing process:

1. Take a foam ball and begin to glue it in a circle with half-beads. At the same time, you can lay out a certain pattern, or make the craft one-color.

Remember to apply the glue in a thin layer or the foam will melt.

2. After you have completely pasted over the entire ball, you just have to embellish it a little more. Simply tie a satin trim bow and glue to the garment. Don't forget the eyelet too.

In the same way, you can make balls from buttons. Only first paint the foam balls with paint, and only then glue the multi-colored buttons.

And disposable plastic cups are generally a godsend for creativity. They just need to be turned upside down, and pasted over with paper decorations, sequins, duct tape or painted with paints. And as a result, you can get ringing bells, funny snowmen.

For a change, choose a very simple product - sew or assemble a large Christmas tree bow. Many small bows can be made.

I also came up with the idea to combine the purchased version with homemade art. Buy transparent balls for the Christmas tree, carefully unscrew the top and pour glitter into it. Screw on the product. Or apply glue to the surface of the ball in the form of any pattern and sprinkle with sparkles too. Crafts come out very beautiful.

Of course, do not forget about needlework from thick threads and ordinary glue.

Moreover, the use of this technology will make it possible to craft anything you want.

You can get acquainted with this technique in detail here.

And here is the instruction on how such a miracle can be created.

Interesting products are also obtained from pasta. Usually they are glued together and snowflakes are made in this way.

And a cool idea would be to decorate unnecessary old light bulbs. Usually they are painted with acrylics and decorated with knitted, rag and other attributes.

Also, toys can be molded from salt dough, plasticine or clay.

Or bake real edible souvenirs.

In fact, there are still a lot of festive products that you can make with your own hands from improvised means, just not to list. Therefore, we move on.

Workshop on making a star on the top of a Christmas tree from paper and cardboard

Well, now let's start making almost the most important attribute of a green tree - a star.

Of course, you can choose another way of making, but I really liked the next magical transformation.

"Star made of shiny cardboard"

You will need:

• shiny cardboard;
• scissors;
• glue gun.

Manufacturing process:

1. Take cardboard and cut strips of the same width and length from it.

If your cardboard is shiny on only one side, then first glue two sheets of cardboard together so that the two sides are shiny.

3. Now bring the free ends of the strips together and glue them together as shown in the photo.

4. Join the side strips together. You should have a blank like this.

5. Repeat steps 1 to 4, that is, glue another exactly the same piece.

6. Connect and glue the two blanks together in such a way that you end up with an eight-pointed star. Your volumetric star on top of the spruce is ready.

I think that such a masterpiece will bring a lot of pleasure, especially when the lights flash on the branches and the star also sparkles with new colors.

Christmas tree toy 2019 in the form of a symbol of the year of the pig

Do you remember what year is coming? That's right, the year of the Pig. So do not forget to appease the Mistress and make souvenirs in the form of funny pigs.

"Colored paper piglet"

You will need:

• double-sided tape on foam;
• semi-cardboard pink and red;
• black marker;
• pencils;
• felt-tip pens;
• glue;
• scissors.

Manufacturing process:

1. Take a pink half-cardboard and cut out many strips 1 cm wide and 7 cm long.

2. Now, using a pencil or scissors, twist each strip.

3. Apply glue to the top of one of the strips and apply another strip on top. In this way, glue the strips in a circle.

4. As a result, you should get such a blank.

6. Now cut a long pink strip 0.5 cm wide.

7. Twist the strip so that you get a curl, like a pig's tail.

8. Glue the ponytail to the ball.

9. Cut out two circles of different diameters and ears from the semi-cardboard. Cut out two small circles out of red paper - these are the nostrils.

10. On a circle with a smaller diameter, glue a piece of double-sided tape. Attach it to a large circle. Use glue to glue the "nostrils".

11. Draw the eyes with a black marker and draw the contours.

12. From red paper, cut out two strips 2 cm wide and 5 cm long. Draw them with the same black marker. This will be a scarf.

13. Glue the scarf to the back of the pig's head. Then glue the head to the torso (volumetric ball). And don't forget to cut and glue the loop.

Agree, this is a very easy craft and is available for children's creativity.

• paints, brushes;

From this simple and affordable material, you can also make bright and beautiful apples, which can be placed under the tree or to decorate the kitchen with them. By the way, the decor is suitable not only for the New Year, but also for other holidays.
