With the arrival of winter comes an assignment from schools and kindergartens - to make a craft for the New Year. The Year of the Dog is no exception. Sometimes, teachers limit and give a specific task of what needs to be done. And sometimes they allow our imagination to run wild and improvise. I will say that the first option is much easier to implement.

Of course, the child remembers the craft only before bed, the day before last day delivery homework. In the article I have selected several options for easy and beautiful crafts that can be easily made and not embarrassing to show to people.

DIY crafts for the New Year 2018. The dog is the symbol of the year

Let's start with the owner of 2018, we know that this is a yellow earthen Dog. It can be made from cardboard, fabric, knitted or sewn from felt. But not every home has felt and not everyone knows how to knit. Therefore, I propose to make it from pompoms. Moreover, by changing the size, decor and color of the threads, you can get absolutely different dogs and even create the appearance of a breed.

Pom pom dog

Pompoms can be made very large, or they can be small, so the dogs turn out smaller and neater.


We need:

  • 2 beads for eyes
  • 1 bead per nose
  • Decor: braid, flowers, snowflakes
  • Glue gun (glue “Moment”)
  • Several pairs of cardboard circles of different diameters

We connect two round cardboard blanks together and begin to wrap them tightly with thread.


To get a fluffy pompom you need to make 5-6 windings.

We cut the thread between the blanks and also pass a thread between them, which will tie all the cut threads and prevent them from coming out.

Only then can you remove the cardboard blanks.


We do this: 1 large pompom, 1 smaller one from the same threads. And 5 small pompoms of a different color.


Glue a bead to a small pompom with hot glue; this will be the dog’s nose. Now we glue this nose to the middle pompom, this is the dog’s head.


We wrap the thread around three fingers and tie it in the middle. These are our ears. Glue them. They can also be made from pompoms.


Glue on the eyes.

We tie, or better yet, glue the head to the body with hot glue.

Glue the dog's tail and paws on and decorate.


You can tie a beautiful braid like a collar or glue a couple of flowers to your ear, hang a bell or beads.

From the same pompoms you can make another version of the dog, as in the photo.

You can also make a dog out of paper using the origami technique with your children. Decorate the Christmas tree with them or make an interesting garland. And it’s done in three minutes. Suitable for kindergarten if the child makes it himself.


Our dad makes paper crafts using the origami technique. The child is happy with the process and enjoys communication with dad.

DIY crafts for the New Year in kindergarten

IN kindergarten You don’t have to do something complicated, because the idea is that your child has created a masterpiece with his own hands. Therefore, you can simply make a New Year's ball from threads or papier-mâché and decorate it.

But if you want something more interesting, then give your garden’s Christmas tree a pasta pendant in the shape of a snowflake.


It's easy to do and quick. Excellent development fine motor skills in children. You just need to be careful with the glue.

To get beautiful shapes you need pasta of different shapes.

Form a snowflake and glue all the parts with instant glue or super glue.

Cover with thick white gouache and let dry.


Cover with PVA glue and sprinkle with glitter.


What do you think of the idea? You can decorate your home Christmas tree with this option.

New Year's crafts for school

The school is already demanding something more serious. Therefore, you need to do something interesting, but again not complicated.

So we'll take it to school beautiful craft- snow globe.


"Snow Globe"

To do this you will need a small, preferably round-shaped (coffee bottle), jar with a lid and a figurine. Moment glue, glitter, water and glycerin.


If after you tear off the wrapper there are traces of glue left, then know that they are fat-soluble.Therefore, wipe them with a cloth moistened with vegetable oil!

1. You need to try the figure on the lid and neck of the jar so that it fits inside easily.

If you need to raise the figurine a little so that it looks better in a jar, then make a pedestal for it from plasticine.

2. Glue the figure to the lid and install it.

3. Try to screw the lid tightly, if nothing interferes, then it’s time to prepare the liquid that will be in the jar.

4. Let's take a jar of glycerin, it is sold in pharmacies and is not expensive.

Pour a quarter of a jar of glycerin. The more glycerin, the slower the glitter moves.

We fill the rest of the space with water, but remember that some of the liquid will be displaced by the figure.

5. Pour some glitter inside and mix the liquid.


6. Now wipe the neck of the bottle dry and lubricate it with Moment glue (transparent, water-insoluble) to prevent water leakage.


Immediately screw on the lid and decorate it with braid.

Here are examples of possible designs.



Or also an unusual figurine in the form of a Christmas tree and a New Year's ball.

Craft “Herringbone”

For this craft we need very thick cardboard, acrylic paints or thick gouache and a small light ball.


So, take cardboard and cut out the Christmas tree blank, as in the photo above.

At the base we make a protrusion of half a centimeter. We will stick it into a pedestal.

Now cut out a circle from cardboard, with a diameter wider than the base of the tree. If the cardboard is thin, then it is better to cut out three or four such circles and glue them together.

We make a slot in the middle and insert a Christmas tree. If it bends, then we also cut out several of the same options and glue them together. She must stand.

We paint it in the desired colors, we can gild or silver it, or cover it with fabric. Dry and decorate with braid, snowflakes, beads, rhinestones.

Now we hang the ball. To do this, make a hole in the Christmas tree with an awl and thread a thread with a ball. The craft for school is ready.

The most interesting DIY crafts for the New Year 2018

To decorate your home, you can make a cute holiday candy bowl called “Santa Claus’s Sleigh.”


You don’t have to decorate it with candies and sweets, but put candles there in candlesticks or simply fill it with beautiful pine cones. The decor will already bring the holiday closer.

You will need:

  • Small box of chocolates
  • Beautiful wrapping paper
  • Santa Claus figurine
  • White fur or cotton wool
  • Braid
  • A couple of cones
  • Candies
  • 2 candles
  • 2 candies for sleigh runners
  • Double sided tape

We drape the box with paper. To do this, glue double-sided tape to the edges of the box and glue wrapping paper. Make sure all edges are neat.


We put it inside faux fur so that it falls over the edge of the sleigh.


We tie it with braid and a bow in front.

We take candy canes and make runners for the sleigh, gluing them onto the candies with super glue.


Now we lay out the decorative elements. We place two small candles in the middle.

Along the edges there are cones decorated with sparkles or shiny varnish. We put out different candies.


The final stage is to attach Santa Claus's Christmas tree toy to the sleigh.


If the toy is heavy, then place it inside the sleigh.

This craft can become a candy bowl for the holiday period and be a table decoration.

“New Year’s ballerina” made from napkins

They look beautiful on windows, or as a garland on curtains, along walls or at the entrance to a room.


You can also liven up the interior with unusual ballerinas, which are made from thin wire and napkins.


You form a body from the wire and wrap it with thin strips of napkin.

We make a skirt from a napkin. To do this, roll it several times and cut off the sharp edge - the middle.


Place the doll in the napkin.


Decorate the ballerina.


If you use snowflakes and beads in decoration, you get a very New Year's craft. You can also make the Snow Maiden and Father Frost dancing.

DIY New Year's crafts from plastic bottles for 2018

Plastic bottles are a malleable material from which you can make such a variety of crafts that it’s hard to imagine.

I will only give an abbreviated master class in the photo.


Paint a yogurt bottle.


A wreath made of plastic bottles. When only the bottom of the bottles is required. You need a lot of such bottoms.


It is better to paint them with gold or silver, especially when they are taken from bottles of different colors.


Bells from bottle necks also make great bells. Therefore, you can achieve waste-free production. A wreath of bottoms will be sent to school, and the bells will be sent to kindergarten with your child.


And these are just a few options. Balls made from strips of bottles, snowmen made from plastic spoons etc.


Cute house in the snow.


Choose according to your taste.

B Great DIY New Year's crafts

Large crafts look beautiful displayed near the Christmas tree or on shelves and in corners. But they must be done very carefully, because large size It shows errors better.

What would it be like to celebrate New Year without an interesting Christmas tree? After all, we don’t put real or artificial wood in every room. And I want to create the mood in the nursery and in my bedroom.

Beautiful Christmas tree

Let's do big Christmas tree from threads.


You will need:

  • Cardboard
  • Foil
  • 50 m gold rope made of paper or cotton
  • braid
  • PVA glue
  • Little ones christmas balls for decoration.

We roll a large cone out of cardboard, you can take several sheets of cardboard, fasten them with tape so that it does not fall apart.

Wrap it in foil, you can take foil for baking.


This is our base on which we will wind the glue thread.

We make a paste into which we add PVA glue when the mass itself has cooled down.

You can cut a hole in the glue bottle itself and pass a thread through it.


Now we put the rope into the paste with glue so that it is saturated.

Wrap it around the cone, but not too tightly. You do not only horizontal rows, but also vertical ones.


Dry the cone well and remove the cardboard. Then the foil peels off.


We wind a thin gold braid onto which we will sew small balls.
