First of all, to create a decoration, you need to prepare all the necessary materials and tools. A variety of wire types allow you to choose a material for almost every taste and skill level.

You need to stock up wire of the required size, diameter, most often sections from 0.5 to 2.5 mm are used.

As for the decor of the craft, it all depends on your imagination. You can complement the toy with an ornament made of beads, balls, threads, beads, satin and organza ribbons, glitter, glitter varnish, buttons.

You may also need fishing line, threads.

As for the toolkit, the most often used are:

Ruler, paper and pencil useful if you need to create a preliminary sketch or diagrams. And also for some products you need plywood or wooden blocks.

New Year's wire crafts are very varied in size, color, symbolism and style... Decorations, figures for the New Year can be made with your own hands, regardless of whether you have the appropriate skills, or you are creating a toy for the first time. Most popular toy looks: angel, Santa Claus sleigh, bells, balls, Christmas wreaths and others.

You need to prepare the wire in two colors - red and green, as well as scissors.

Algorithm of creation:

• Twist 2 green cuts with a weak tourniquet;
• form a circle;
• straighten the shape so that the chain looks neat;
• the red wire is folded in the shape of a bow;
• Decorate the wreath with a bow and create a loop.

Prepare chenille wire cuts for making in a blue, snow-white or silver tone.

Algorithm of action:

• create a frame - connect 3 long cuts, twisting together in the center;
• attach a short piece to each;
• shape the rays of the snowflake at each cut.

To create this toy, you need a thick wire (a frame is made from it) and a thinner variety - to connect the parts.

Execution algorithm:

• take 2 thick cuts of equal length - at least 15 cm;
• use pliers to form curls around the edge - for runners;
• create two more cuts a little smaller, up to 15 cm, again form curls;
• we fasten the runners with a thin wire, forming the back;
• cut off two more pieces up to 20 cm, twist the ends;
• we attach them with thin material to the back;
• cut out the seat from a piece of plywood measuring 8x10 cm;
• tape the seat to the base;
• we decorate the sleigh with beads, paints, beads.

Such a craft will not only decorate the Christmas tree, but also serve as an excellent gift for the child, because the candy is placed inside. The easiest way to create such a bell is from chenille wire.

You will need:

• scissors;
• double-sided adhesive tape;
• candy;
• chenille wire, ideally with a shiny finish.

Algorithm of actions:

• create a frame of 5 sticks in a single color;
• we fold each in two so that a smooth bend appears in the center;
• we connect all the parts together, twisting adjacent parts;
• at the end, a closed circle is obtained;
• we twist the second row of adjacent segments;
• we continue the actions as long as the length of the wire allows twisting;
• connect the upper ends and close them into a ring;
• the hole must be left;
• take a cut and make a ring;
• at the end of the candy we glue the tape;
• we fix the ring on the candy, bend it into a loop;
• we pass the bell into the left hole.

To create this luxurious ball, you need to prepare:

• brass wire with a diameter of 0.3 and 0.8 mm;
• beads of different sizes;
• tools.

First, create a sketch of the segment that will make up the ball.... They will need 12 in total. We offer you a calculation for a ball with a diameter of 6 cm, for a different size you need to make corrections. To do this, multiply 6 by 3.14 and get 18.84. The height of each segment is 18.84 / 2, i.e. 9.5 cm rounded. The width of each segment is the sum of the length divided by the number of parts. That is, 18.84 / 12, with a rounding of 1.6 cm. Now you can sketch a segment in the image of a spindle, the size of which will be 1.6 by 9.5 cm. It needs to be filled with a simple ornament.

Algorithm for creating a toy:

• we form a cut with a size of 28 cm from a material of 0.8 mm;
• create a shape from a sketch;
• we form a cut of 19 cm, we also bend;
• we connect with a thin material;
• add beads or beads;
• according to this principle, we make 12 parts, bend in a semicircle;
• lay out in a mirror, collect in pairs;
• we fasten together;
• we form a cut of 16 cm and create a fastener with a loop and a mustache in the amount of 2 pieces;
• we thread it into the ball, bend the ends of the mustache, weave it to the ball;
• you can tie a bow to match the beads.

Flexible materials great for creating Christmas tree decorations of any shape. Crafts can decorate not only a Christmas tree, but also a house, give a loved one.Craftsmen advise to make a choice in favor of the softest and most flexible types of wire - this will make it easier to work and correct mistakes. Christmas decorations are usually made of soft wire, interior details are made of hard wire, otherwise the shape will not hold.

Consider the following points:

• make sure that the holes of the through-type are not too large, the material should be placed evenly;
• do not feel sorry for the material - fishing line, wire, threads should form a dense toy;
• be sure to make sure that you have all the necessary materials and tools before starting work;
• choose the right wire, it can be of different metals, with different coatings;
• excellent for needlework copper, aluminum, enameled, chenille wire;
• it is harder to work with the steel variation with galvanized;
• wire can be purchased from the electrical department, and the decor can be found in the creative department.
