Make Christmas ornaments from paper
You can make a lot of Christmas decorations from paper. Let us dwell on several.
Snowflakes from paper
You can make snowflakes as individual copies, as well as whole garlands. The whole technology is to properly fold the sheets of paper and then make curly cuts and holes on the folds. Snowflakes can be made both from white paper, and from multi-colored.
Paper cascade
It is necessary to prepare a cardboard cylinder( you can take part of the shell used "crackers" or a piece of thick paper, and roll it into a tube).The cylinder must be wrapped in foil and the edges bent inside. Two pieces of 10 by 16 cm and 16 by 16 cm are cut from the wrapping paper. Two pieces of 14 by 16 cm are made of patterned paper. On the sheet you need to draw a line 2 cm from the edge. On the other hand, cutouts of the required width are made( at your discretion).All this is done with all the sheets. Then the smaller of the pieces is attached with the side inward to the cylinder. Then glued wider sheets and sheets with patterns. Ornaments can be hung on a tree or hung around the room.
Christmas candy
It takes only a few minutes to make Christmas-tree sweets. The bottom is taken by the same cylinder( for example, old curlers).Multicolored foil is cut into equal rectangular parts, and it turns around the cylinder. It turns out the New Year's candy, which can be hung on a Christmas tree with a thread.
Snowballs from paper
To make snowballs you need thin tissue paper, but you can apply a thin polyethylene. Cut a few identical circles( pieces 10-12), the dimensions of which will determine the size of the ball. In the center of each of them you need to drip a drop of glue, and then glue them together. A center on the top layer is marked, and then the entire stack is cut from the edges to this center. In the same way, another ball is being prepared. Ready, they are applied with backs to each other. It remains only to fluff the strips obtained, and you will see a real ball, fluffy as snow.
Such creative work on making Christmas toys allows not only to spend an interesting time with the whole family, but also helps to teach the child certain skills, develop thinking and wit, will become one of the elements of his accustoming him to work. And most importantly, it will most favorably affect the mood of all family members and create a pre-holiday mood in the house.
