In addition, you may need glue, braid, scotch tape, scissors, nylon tapes, nuts, artificial flowers, pliers.

Different types of glue are used for work, such as PVA, the "Second" option, or hot glue. And also when doing New Year's crafts from tinsel, spruce branches, beads and foam bases are often used. They can be annular or spherical.

Crafts from tinsel on wire are simple to perform. Even a child can make them with their own hands. Such toys are often made together with children, developing hand motor skills and teaching children to work. The work uses a different type of tinsel, which, in addition to shiny, can be thin chenille.

If desired, you can make pumpkin, kittens, tiaras, any animals and even insects from wire tinsel. They make beautiful foxes, raccoons, mice, rats from it. It is suitable for creating pegasus, unicorns, roosters as well as tree tops. In addition, characters of your favorite cartoons are created from it. Such products can be presented not only for the New Year, but also for other holidays.

The easiest way is to make crown headbands from wire tinsel. As a rule, thin shiny tinsel of golden or silver color is used for this. If desired, they can be combined with each other. For work, various auxiliary decor (for example, stars) is often used.

The essence of the work is to wrap the central part of the rim with tinsel with the creation of air loops... Moreover, they should be located symmetrically with respect to the center. At the final stage, the central (largest) loop is decorated with a shiny star.

Crowns are created according to a similar principle. A thin wire is used to show the shape. A rounded base is bent from it to the size of the girth of the head, after which double loops of an oval or pointed shape are folded in front. The attachment points can be masked with colored wire in contrasting colors or decorative tape.

For the manufacture of such products, a frame is required. It will allow you to save on wire tinsel, make the size of toys larger, and give the products the desired shape. The work uses chenille tinsel of the wire type. Someone does not use a frame, bending the figure according to the principle of a spiral, stretching it to the desired shape.

However, crafts with tinsel tightly wrapped around the frame look better. They are more resilient. After creating a fluffy base, plastic eyes or other decor are glued.

Numerous master classes for making New Year's decorations are very diverse. For example, it is easy to twist snowflakes from wire tinsel, and they can be either loop-shaped or pointed, cut with pliers or scissors. Snowflakes curl looking at the pattern. This work does not require much effort; special glue can be used for fixing.

Fir-trees are often twisted according to the principle of spiral turns of different diameters. In other cases, a metal or other base is first prepared for them, and then branches are built up. Moreover, they are not only wound, but also glued, achieving maximum fluffiness and similarity to real spruce. After that, the crafts are decorated with a variety of decor.

It's easy to make a Christmas wreath step by step. To do this, take a base, then wrap it with shiny or chenille tinsel, and then decorate it with the existing decor. It can even be dried orange slices, cones, buttons and small Christmas tree decorations.

When working with wire tinsel, it is necessary to adhere to a number of recommendations.
