DIY Christmas gift ideas. A flashlight.

A very beautiful flashlight can be made simply with colored paper, scissors and glue.

You can experiment with color and size. Look closely at the pictures, and you can easily understand the whole process of making a New Year's gift.

And here is another variation of the New Year's lantern. It is very simple and beautiful.

For one such flashlight, you will need 4 paper strips of different sizes.

As you can see from the picture, 3 strips are bent in the shape of a flashlight, and one remains in the middle – it can be considered the basis of the flashlight.

Original DIY Christmas gifts. Christmas tree made of ribbons.

Such a beautiful little Christmas tree can be made using several ribbons of different sizes and colors, scissors and a stapler.

* You can replace cloth ribbons with paper ones. It is desirable to use thick paper or colored cardboard.

Such a Christmas gift with your own hands can be hung on a Christmas tree or used as a Christmas brooch.

It will also look beautiful if you attach it to a New Year's card, also made by yourself.

DIY Christmas crafts and gifts. Little angel.

This little beautiful angel is very easy to make. They can decorate both the Christmas tree and the New Year's table.

You'll need:

– ordinary table napkins;

– paper;

– glue pencil;

– scissors;

– thread;

– ribbon.

1. Open the napkins and put them together.

2. Roll a ball out of plain paper that will play the role of an angel's head.

3. Place a ball of paper in the middle of the napkins.

4. Assemble the corners of the napkins.

5. Tie a white thread around the angel's head.

6. We make angel wings. Raise the back corners on the upper napkin and glue them in the center.

7. Put the gold-colored ribbon into a ring to get a halo.

8. We make a skirt for an angel. To do this, cut the bottom of the napkins in a semicircle. You can make it fluffy.

* You can also use a gold ribbon to decorate your neck.

DIY Christmas decorations

As always, everything is very easy here. Feel free to attract your kids and let's get started.

Cut the blanks out of colored cardboard and fasten them.

You can use a sewing machine when fastening.

For example, for a Christmas tree, prepare several strips of different sizes, an asterisk and a tree trunk, and fasten them with a line.

To make a snowman, just cut 2 circles, a hat and a scarf, and also fasten them.

Instead of a sewing machine, you can use a thread and a needle.

You can also use a different line.

We make new toys from old ones

If you still have old Christmas toys, you can easily turn them into new ones. Thus, you will save yourself from unnecessary shopping trips for new Christmas decorations.

You'll need:

– balloons;

– wrapping paper;

– accounting rubber bands;

– satin ribbons;

– scissors;

– clips.

1. Cut squares out of wrapping paper, each 2-3 times the size of the ball.

2. Start wrapping each ball with its own square.

3. After that you pull the paper at the base, you will get a tail. If it's too big, cut it off. Tighten the tail on your ball with an elastic band.

4. Cut the satin ribbon (you can replace it with any other material) about 50 cm long. Wrap the tape around the ponytail to hide the elastic band. You can tie a bow.

5. Prepare a paper clip for each ball. Unfold and pry off the tape with one tip, and use the other to hook the toy to the tree.

Your toys are ready.

DIY Christmas packaging

To beautifully pack a New Year's gift, you don't have to buy a beautiful package made of shiny paper. It is quite possible to make the original packaging yourself.

Cardboard packaging will act as a gift. Let's consider two options.

You'll need:

– coniferous branches;

– plain wrapping paper;

– universal adhesive;

– decorative tape;

– scotch tape;

– several small Christmas decorations;

– hemp twine (rope).
