Homemade toys are widespread in society today. They belong to the category of hand-made, and the simplest materials are used for their manufacture, for example, plastic bottles, polystyrene, wood, plasticine, papier-mâché and much more. Textile toys are in great demand, since it is impossible to buy them in a store.

In fact, you can turn any item into a New Year's toy. Boxes of different sizes, plastic cups, even hair brushes.

A few simple ideas will allow you to transform not only the tree, but also the very atmosphere of the holiday.

To date, there are a lot of schemes for making various original jewelry. They can be found in creative books, on social networks, and on any internet portals. However, it is best to go for a real master class, where you can see the step-by-step progress of the work. They are often held at New Year's fairs for children, which open a month before the holiday.

Christmas tree decorations made from yarn, familiar to all housewives, look very impressive and home-like. To create such masterpieces, a very small amount of materials is required, namely: yarn, pins and PVA glue. As an additional consumable, you need a plate, a porous tray, a sheet of paper, a marker or a pencil.

• First of all, you need to moisten the threads in PVA. They must be completely saturated with glue, so that the finished decoration will have the required shape.
• While the threads are wetted in the glue, it is necessary to make a template for the future toy. To do this, the desired drawing is made on a sheet of paper. It can be a star, a bird, or even a house.
• The prepared template must be fixed on the porous tray. To fix it, you should use pins or ordinary toothpicks. After that, the interior decor of the toy is formed.
• Then, from the yarn soaked in glue, the contour of the craft and the inner filling are laid out. Masters often advise not to cross the threads with each other. The yarn toy should be flat.
• When the craft is laid out, you need to put it aside until the glue is completely dry. Next, the clips are removed. At the top of the toy, you need to make a loop for hanging the toy.
• As an additional decoration, you can use decorative sequins or rain.

A beautiful Christmas tree toy can be made from ordinary wire. In the finished version, the wire ornament can plug any crafts sold in supermarkets into the belt.

• The thickness of the base of the toy should be approximately 1 cm. Accordingly, a sheet of cardboard will not be enough. You will need to make several identical shapes and glue them together.
• Next, the twine tail is fixed to the cardboard with glue. Then the winding of the toy begins. It is important that the threads fit as tightly as possible to the base of the product. There should be no gaps.
• As a decor, you need to create a couple of leaves and berries from any fabric material, and then glue them onto the prepared star.
