New Year's crafts on a street tree. Ideas for Christmas toys for a street tree. Video on how to make a Christmas tree toy from beads
In this article, we will tell you how to make do-it-yourself Christmas decorations for a street Christmas tree using available items. Everything ordinary can be turned into something beautiful and magical. 
Decorations for the New Year's beauty are not made from anything: polystyrene, cardboard, cones, pieces of wood and even bottles with light bulbs are used. And every piece is unique in its own way. Look at the photo. These balls are handmade from styrofoam. 
It is important to know one important detail. Under New Year the weather is not always good, it rains often. Therefore, your crafts should not have something that is washed off or soaked. When the tree is in the house, use whatever you want there.
styrofoam crafts
The material is easy to process and by itself. It will not split, break or hit anyone if it suddenly falls off a branch. Do-it-yourself Christmas toys made of polystyrene foam can be made in any form and in many ways.
Getting ready for work
We need materials and tools:
- Styrofoam;
- soldering iron;
- paints;
- sequins;
- needle and thread;
- glue;
- sandpaper.
Keep in mind that you are making decorations for a street tree, so the paint glue must be resistant to water and frost.
With a knife, we will process a foam blank. The knife should have a thin, sharp blade because the cut should not be too rough. The same applies to the emery skin, choose "zero". Sandpaper will be needed for final processing: we will remove irregularities (burrs, extra tubercles) with it. With the help of paints, we will color our craft, and then lightly cover it with sparkles. We will make a hole with a needle, and send a thread from which a loop will turn out.
Choose strong threads, as a strong wind can easily rip off the decoration!
With a soldering iron, if desired, you can apply recesses in the form of patterns. Glue will be needed if you want to attach, for example, a beautiful ribbon bow to the toy. 
Observe safety precautions when working with a soldering iron! When processing foam with this device, poisonous smoke will be released that can cause cancer. Keep this in mind, work in a well ventilated area. It is advisable to use a mask or respirator to protect the respiratory system.
Making beautiful balls
It is best to make Christmas decorations from foam balls with your own hands. They are very common in craft stores. This option is offered because you can’t make a ball out of ordinary foam wrappers. We will need large balls, as we will hang them on a street tree. The bigger the tree, the bigger and brighter the toy!
So, take a clean foam ball and prepare a flat foam pad. We paint it in any color with resistant indelible paint. In order not to get your hands dirty and not to smear the paint from the ball with your fingers, use two toothpicks and stick them into the ball, as shown in the photo. You can paint with a brush or spray can. We stick toothpicks with a ball into the stand and wait for it to dry. 
After the ball is dry, you can paint patterns with other paint or glue something beautiful on it. You can apply patterns with the tip of a soldering iron tip, for example, in the form of snakes. Here, play out your imagination. Then take a needle with a thread in the eye and pierce the part of the ball that you think is the top. 
The figure shows exactly how to pierce the toy.
Many people use paper clips as a suspension, simply sticking them into the ball, and then tying the thread. In our case, this option will not work: a strong wind will calmly tear the ball off the suspension. The simpler the design, the more reliable it is!
We tie both ends of the thread into a knot, and hide the knot itself. The finished craft will look like a store-bought plastic Christmas tree ball.
Styrofoam figurines
Styrofoam Christmas decorations can also be made flat, in the form of various figures. You will need foam boards. First, with a pen or felt-tip pen, we make a drawing on the foam. Then carefully start cutting. Rough surfaces need to be sanded with sandpaper, otherwise the craft will not look so beautiful.
For example, we want to do beautiful snowflake. We draw it on the foam, then we begin to cut out the internal places.
Always start by cutting out the interior. This is much more convenient, and the risk of breakage of the toy is significantly reduced.
Now we start cutting out the snowflake itself from the foam sheet. It will look beautiful and without painting. It is better, of course, to paint it in silver, gold or metallic blue. A hole must be made from the upper ends so that the snowflake on the Christmas tree is turned with its front part to the viewer. If you pierce directly on the plane, then the snowflake in limbo will turn to us with an edge.
Do not limit yourself to flat figures. Cut out voluminous crafts in the form of bells, birds, Christmas trees and so on. 
By the way, such Christmas toys can be made from foam balls. For example, a snowman. 
You will need balls of different sizes. One is big, another is smaller, and the third is even smaller. Glue them together carefully with strong glue. You don’t need to paint such a craft, because the snowman should be white anyway. Use indelible markers to draw his mouth, eyes, nose and buttons. You can make him a little hat.

From plastic bottles
There are a lot of options, both simple and complex. Plastic Christmas decorations are perfect for a street New Year's beauty. They also do not get wet, have a small mass and are easy to manufacture.
Only large bottles, 1.5 or 2 liters, will do. Toys from small bottles will be poorly visible on a street tree.
Let's make a Christmas tree toy with our own hands plastic bottle, which will carry the function of a bird feeder. We will need supplies:
- 2 liter plastic bottle;
- scissors and awl;
- paints;
- strong nylon thread;
- tinsel, ribbons, etc.
In this option, it is a large bottle that is suitable so that the birds have room to eat in it.
We take the bottle and begin to paint it in any bright color, along with the cap. Spray painting doesn't take long. We are waiting for the paint to dry. We decorate the bottle with ribbons, for example, we knit a bow and fasten it with glue. You can also use stickers. Then we cut out a small round window (diameter 8 cm) in the wall of the bottle so that it is as close as possible to the bottom. The photo shows interesting variants of feeder bottles, where the upper parts are made in the form of a roof.
First you need to paint the bottle, wait for it to dry, and only then cut out a window for the bird. The paint should not get where the food will lie. An animal can inadvertently swallow a piece of dry paint and get poisoned.
Now unscrew the cork and punch a small hole in it. Take a thread and make a loop. It is better to make the knot large (tie several times). We put the end of the loop so that the knot rests on the bottom of the lid. A simple and useful feeder toy is ready. We hang it on the Christmas tree, pour food and admire the birds.
Flashlight bottle and delicate bells
A very simple option, familiar to everyone since childhood. Such Christmas decorations from plastic bottles are also easy to manufacture and process. We will need everything the same as for the feeder. Only now we will cut vertical stripes on the walls.
For this procedure, a sharp thin knife or scalpel is perfect. It is better not to use a razor blade, as they can easily get hurt.
We cut the strips, the gap between them should be approximately 5 mm. The length of each strip is 15-20 cm, depending on the size of the bottle. Now we need to squeeze the bottle so that all the strips bend in different directions. Let's start painting and decorating. Something bright and shiny can be put into the inner cavity of our flashlight.
A plastic bottle and disposable teaspoons will make a wonderful Santa Claus. 
A white bottle will make a unique snowflake. 
Green bottles will be the basis for the Christmas wreath. 
A little patience and more bottles will turn into a big snowman after a while.

Christmas tree toy for the city Christmas tree.
For this work, we need the following materials:
Cocktail sticks made of thick cardboard;
Glue gun;
Rectangles cut from plastic panels;
Narrow brocade ribbon - 0.5 mm;
Decorative glue with glitter;
Knife for cutting paper;
Alabaster;
Plastic beads for eyes and nose;
A piece of tinsel;
Sintepon.
We begin work with the manufacture of the house. First, we take a rectangle cut out of a plastic panel, approximately 11 * 18 cm in size and cocktail sticks (they are pre-cut to the size of the rectangle) and start gluing them on a rectangular base. First we lay out 2 parallel sticks, then 2 more but already perpendicular to the previous ones, etc. until the height is about 10-11cm.
The window from which our dog will look out can be laid out in the process of work, cutting the sticks for this in advance or then cutting it out with a paper knife.
Then we take the remaining rectangles measuring 11 * 11 cm, and pierce two holes in them so that they are on the same line.
Now they need to be glued in the middle, forming the roof of the house from them.
We glue the roof to the house, then we pierce two holes in the bottom plate and insert the rope. She will go through the roof, down, and out onto the roof again.
Now we start sewing the very hero of the occasion - the dog - the symbol of 2018. To do this, we cut blanks from felt using computer templates. I used beige and gray felt.
We sew a muzzle of a dog.
I put a little padding polyester in the house to make it look more filled.
We plant the dog, glue the bottom to the bottom of the house with a glue gun.
We decorate the house with tinsel to give a New Year's shine.
We decorate the edges of the house with a brocade ribbon.
Let's start making numbers from alabaster. I laid out the alabaster in the form of numbers on a plastic film, inserted wooden skewers into the bases of the numbers. When the numbers hardened, I processed them with sandpaper.
Then I painted them with mother-of-pearl varnish of different shades, let it dry.
I inserted the numbers into the holes on the roof of the house, fixed them with glue.
Since the main condition of the competition for which this a toy was use natural material, I decided to decorate the roof with shells. Between the shells, I applied decorative glue with glitter.
The toy is ready!

The threads need to be cut into segments of approximately 20-22 centimeters.

It is necessary that the thread is firmly fixed on the cardboard base. So you need to repeat until the cardboard base is hidden under the threads.
All thread tails need to be pulled through the ring so that our hat has a “lapel”.

In addition to a trip to the country, I was taken aback by the task in the kindergarten. From time to time they pester me with creative tasks, but on the one hand I love them, and I can’t refuse. That project by patriotic education I sculpt among my daughter, then we make 50 origami doves of the world, then I spend a home photo session for a collage about the physical education of a child (we jump on a trampoline, we try to twist the hoop).
I’m already starting to be afraid of schools, they say they generally like to fill up with tasks of this kind. Well, one of the last assignments - not only to me, but to three parents from each group. In each district of our city they put up a Christmas tree, and there is the main Christmas tree of Yekaterinburg. We needed toys for our local Christmas tree. From time to time, the district administration strains kindergartens with such tasks. Well, kindergartens strain us - parents.
In general, they gave a week of time and a task - a do-it-yourself Christmas tree toy, preferably a New Year's ball, about 30 cm in diameter, white, blue or silver or all together, weight up to 1 kg. Rope length 40 cm.
I decided to go the "beautiful and budget toy" path. That is, it was possible to stupidly find a ball for games in a store with a diameter of 30 cm or so, wrap something around it and go. As a matter of fact, some did. But I got creative. I decided to make a ball from what I have at home.
I thought about the idea for two days, leafed through the Internet, and finally I had a plan of action. I decided along the way to take pictures of everything almost from the very beginning, I was not the only one in the vast expanses of Russia who was strained with such a task. Maybe someone will fit - as a master class for making New Year's toys. In the end, you can only take the base, and the decor is already your imagination.
So I decided to form a ball out of newspapers. They are easy and free :))))).
While the ball was small, I just wound one sheet of newspaper after another. But when the ball reached about 15 cm, the newspapers began to unfold. Then I brought scotch tape to the rescue and grabbed the unfolding edges with it. Finally my newspaper ball was ready.
But since it had a loose and uneven structure a little short of the shape of a ball, I decided to wrap it with cling film on top.
I wrapped it and realized that the cling film added accuracy, but it’s still far from a more or less sane ball shape. Then I brought scotch tape to help, it is more dense. And my ball became like something.
Next, we had to fasten the rope. Here I made one tactical mistake, but when I realized it, it was too late to redo it. In principle, what I did is possible, but this is if you have a short rope for hanging the ball. There is no more and that's it. I just took and very thoroughly stuck the rope to the ball with adhesive tape, plus grabbed it with threads. But I had enough rope. You could simply wrap the balloon with a rope and leave a loop for hanging. The rest, just secure with tape. This design is much more reliable, here the rope will certainly not come off. But - learn from mistakes.
I fixed the rope well, and the ball, despite its size, weighs about 350-400 grams - they weighed it on the scales. Next, you need to smoothly move on to the decor. Well, here I have already pulled up those ideas that the Internet inspired me.
For some reason, I really liked the balls-balls. Some simply wrap Christmas decorations with threads, beads, sequins, sparkles, etc. on top, and a unique toy is ready. At my house, a ball of ownerless white yarn was just lying around, which I couldn’t attach anywhere. And here is just the concept of colors - white, blue and silver.
I carefully wrapped my ball with food foil in 2 layers. Where necessary, also secured with tape.
But the foil breaks very quickly, so I already attracted the same white yarn from above. It turned out such a ball.
Then it got easier. Not the first year I have been making a “snowflake” dress from an ordinary dress for a matinee, I have a whole bunch of sequins in the form of snowflakes left from this. Also glue Moment in the form of a gel, almost not smelly, but holds tight. She didn’t become sophisticated, she just let silver stripes go over the “ball.
When finished, they made a bow out of blue tinsel, which was also found in abundance in a bag with Christmas decorations.
My daughter helped me as much as she could. We hung this ball with her and thought.
He lacks something, - my daughter tells me.
Yes, it's missing, but what? I answer.
