Instructions
Step 1
Think about what you could make. If you are good at drawing, it is worth trying to decorate your crafts with decorative ornaments. Love sewing and knitting - make rag dolls and animals, tie nuts or ping-pong balls. If you do not have special talents, then you can cope with the manufacture of paper garlands, cardboard toys and simple applications.
Step 2
First, make a garland - it is customary to hang multi-colored rings, shiny ribbons, paper figures and snowflakes on the tree. Colored paper rings are easy to make - cut thin strips of the same size and fasten them together, connecting the ends with glue. Garlands with paper figures can be made from paper folded in several layers - cut out snowflakes, little men or simple geometric shapes, fasten separate parts of the chain together.
Step 3
Let your toys be unusual - sew several stars from a printed fabric into one set, from thick felt you can make spectacular appliques (mini Christmas trees with glued toy berries), from white material (the remnants of industrial packaging made of food plastic are also suitable) cut out figures of snowmen or animals. These blanks will allow you to estimate how harmonious your Christmas tree will look.
Step 4
Decorate the blanks - draw small details, glue appliques, sew or tie the edges, sew on buttons and beads, etc. If you work with beads, then make hearts, circles, bells out of it - the simplest shapes will look exquisite and cute.
Step 5
Decorate regular Christmas balls. Get the simplest monochromatic round toys of different sizes - crochet them, use them as a base, which you will cover with knitted compositions. A simple twisted thread can be a wonderful decoration if you wrap it around a Christmas tree ball that has been previously greased with glue.
