Pour boiling water over the grape seeds or boil for several minutes and rub on a metal sieve to remove the sticky layer.

If you don’t have grape seeds, you can prepare other small material.

Step 3. Prepare the base for decorating the light bulb.

Cover the glass of the light bulb with pieces of newspaper and PVA glue in several layers, thus giving it greater strength. And the glue, thanks to these layers, will better hold the next layer of decor.

Step 4. We collapse the light bulb and create a texture.

Lubricate the pasted surface of the light bulb with a thick thick layer of glue. Roll the light bulb in prepared tea leaves or grape seeds.

Step 5. We finish making a Christmas tree decoration for the New Year from a light bulb.

To make the light bulb look like a Christmas tree decoration, you need to apply a layer of PVA glue to the base of the light bulb and wrap it with linen twine. Paint the entire light bulb with gold paint from a can.

This is what you get.

Step 6. Make a loop and a bow.

Many people notice that the older they get, the more difficult it is to re-experience that magical feeling of a fairy tale and miracle that always came to us as children on New Year's Eve.

But we're in website We are sure that the New Year's mood will not keep you waiting if you make one of these wonderful decorations for your home and Christmas tree with your own hands. Almost all of them, with the exception of two or three, do not require much time and any special materials - they can be made in half an hour from what is at hand.

Stars made of threads

Wreath made of balloons and an old hanger

In just half an hour, you can make a colorful wreath by purchasing a couple of sets of inexpensive balloons. Blogger Jennifer, the author of this article, recommends straightening out an old hanger, but if you don't have one, a piece of strong wire will do just fine.

You will need: a couple of sets of balls (20-25 balls of different colors and sizes), a wire hanger or wire, fir branches, braid or a ready-made decoration for decorating a wreath.

Tablecloth made of snowflakes

A delicate and surprisingly festive tablecloth will be made from snowflakes, which we have gotten our hands on since childhood. You can sit down and cut out snowflakes with the whole family, and then lay them out on the table and fasten them with small pieces of tape. A wonderful solution for entertaining guests or just having lunch with the family during the holidays.

Multi-colored hats

The cutest colored hats can be made from leftover yarn, which can be used to make a garland for a Christmas tree or to decorate a wall. Or hang them on a window or chandelier at different levels. Children over five years old will also be great at making this simple decoration. See details.

You will need: a roll of toilet paper for rings (or regular cardboard or thick paper), scissors, colorful yarn and a good mood.

Lamp “Snowy City”

For this charming lamp, you need to measure a piece of paper around the circumference of the jar with a small margin (for gluing), draw and cut out a simple city or forest landscape. Wrap it around the jar and place a candle inside.

You will need: a jar, thick paper of any color, maybe white, any candle. Another option is to cover the top of the jar with “falling snow” using a special “snow” spray, which is sold in hobby stores.

Balloons with photos

A great idea for decorating a Christmas tree or as a gift for relatives and friends. The photo needs to be rolled into a tube so that it fits into the hole of the ball, and then straightened out with a wooden stick or tweezers. Small black and white rectangular photographs are suitable, and you can also cut the photo according to the shape of a ball or silhouette (as in the case of a cat in the snow).

You will need: plastic or glass balls, photographs, various things to fill the ball - tinsel, garlands, coarse salt (for snow).

New Year's lamps

And this miracle is a matter of five minutes. It is enough to collect balls, fir branches, cones and put them in a transparent vase (or a cute jar) and add glowing garlands.

Embers

Glowing garlands, hidden among cones, branches and pine paws, create the effect of smoldering coals in the fireplace or a cozy fire. They even seem to be heating up. For this purpose, a basket that has been lying on the balcony for a hundred years, a nice bucket or, for example, a wicker container for small items from Ikea will be suitable. You will find everything else (except for the garland, of course) in the park.

Floating candles

A very simple decoration for the New Year's table or for a cozy evening with friends during the New Year holidays - a composition with candles floating in a vessel with water, cranberries and pine branches. You can use cones, orange slices, fresh flowers and leaves from a flower shop - whatever your imagination tells you. And as a candlestick - deep plates, vases, jars, glasses, the main thing is that they are transparent.

Snowman on the refrigerator or door

Children will definitely be delighted with this - it’s fast, fun and very simple, because even a three-year-old can handle cutting out large parts. It is enough to cut out circles, a nose and a scarf from self-adhesive paper, wrapping paper or colored cardboard and attach them to regular or double-sided tape.

Snowflakes on the window

Interesting use for a glue gun lying around. In order to glue these snowflakes to the glass, just lightly press them to the surface. For details see our video.

You will need: a stencil with a snowflake drawn with a black marker, tracing paper (parchment, baking paper), a glue gun and a little patience.

Christmas trees-candies

You can build bright Christmas trees with your kids for a children's party or decorate a festive table with them. Cut out triangles from colored paper or cardboard, attach with tape to a toothpick and stick the resulting Christmas trees into the candies.

You will need: Hershey's Kisses or any other truffle candies, toothpicks, tape, colored paper or cardboard with a design.

Garland with photographs and drawings

New Year, Christmas - warm, family holidays. And it will come in very handy with photographs, children's drawings, and pictures. The easiest way to secure them is with clothespins, which can be decorated with hearts or snowflakes.

Origami star

Painted spoons

Ordinary metal spoons or wooden cooking spoons are transformed into interesting New Year's decorations using acrylic paints. Kids will definitely love this idea. If you bend the handle of metal spoons, you can hang them on the Christmas tree. And wooden spoons will look great in the kitchen or in a bouquet with fir branches.

What will you need to make these New Year's decorations:

Light bulbs
Acrylic paints
Tassels
Glue “Super” or “Moment”

1st version of a New Year's toy made from a light bulb

For the 1st version of New Year's toys you will need everything listed above and:

Fabric (in our case, plaid)
Plasticine or polymer clay
Yarn

We start making toys by taking fabric and cutting out small triangles from it, the lower part of the triangle = the diameter of the light bulb, they will be caps for the snowman toy.

From the bottom side of the triangle, carefully pull out the threads to get a fringe. And sew the hat into a cone.

We use yarn to make braids, pom-poms and ties for decorating hats. They can be decorated with all possible decorative ornaments: beads, berries, etc.

Sew the pompom to the cap and glue it to the light bulb. Make ties from the thread so that you can hang it on the Christmas tree.

Make a carrot-shaped nose from plasticine or polymer clay. And color it orange.

Draw a face for the snowmen and glue on a nose.

2nd version of a New Year's toy made from a light bulb

New Year's toy - snowman

For the 2nd option of New Year's toys you will also need everything listed above and:

Marker (for drawing details)
Glitter for decoration
Ribbons
Old glove or cloth

Prepare the place where you will paint and dry the toy lights. Take a cardboard box, maybe a candy box, and cut holes for the base of the base.

Sand the bulbs and paint them white and let them dry. After drying, wrap the base with ribbon and glue it so that you get a loop by which you can hang the toy on the Christmas tree.

Now cut off the ends of the old glove and put the light bulb on the base, this way you will hide the base and make a hat for the toy. You can make the hat as in the 1st version of the New Year's toy - a snowman, or simply wrap it beautifully in fabric.

Now you can start decorating the balls using acrylic paints and glitter. Do everything according to your taste and imagination.

But so as not to bother and think about the idea of how to decorate toys for a long time, we present you with several options for New Year's toys that you can make yourself.

In anticipation of the New Year holidays, it’s worth doing some handicrafts. This will help lift your spirits and give you the opportunity to decorate your home. Some people make Christmas wreaths, others cut out snowflakes, sew or knit a symbol of the coming year. We suggest making a Christmas tree toy with your own hands. Since we are accustomed to such products being made of glass, we will not deviate from the rules. Let's take a burnt-out incandescent lamp as a basis. We have already used it for its intended purpose, now it’s time to give it a second - a new and no less interesting, but more durable life.

To create a Christmas tree decoration from a light bulb you will need: a light bulb, two 15 cm pieces of red satin thin ribbon, scissors, a lighter, white acrylic paint, PVA glue, napkins with a suitable “winter” pattern, a brush, water, acrylic varnish in a spray, acrylic paints , a set of multi-colored sparkle glitters and a piece of red crepe paper.

It’s not difficult to make a Christmas tree toy from a light bulb, but the process will take time, since you will need to wait until the paint and glue dry.

So let's get started, take a light bulb. We tie one end of the red ribbon around the base.

We will pass the second tip under the resulting girth, which will not turn out to be very tight, since there is a thread on the base. You can help with a knife.

Now we tie a tight knot to hold the tip. Our product can be hung by a ribbon.

It's good if you have a matte incandescent lamp. But most often we use transparent ones, so we have to paint the glass with white acrylic paint in one layer. You can add 50% PVA glue to it to make it stick better.

Cover the entire surface of the lamp and hang it to dry. Depending on the thickness of the layer, it may take from half an hour to several hours. We wait until the paint dries well. At this time, we will work on the future pattern of the toy. Take a napkin. We cut out fragments from it, trying it on a light bulb. It should be covered around the circumference with a pattern. We needed two identical fragments.

Carefully tear off the evenly cut edge, leaving it uneven so that the joints of the drawings are not visible on the toy. Separate the two white layers of the napkin.

The paint on the light bulb has dried.

We make a solution for decoupage - dilute PVA glue and water in half. We apply the fragment to the glass, outlining its future location.

Using a brush dipped in decoupage solution, glue the fragment to the light bulb. We coat carefully, quickly, from the center of the pattern to the edges. Remember that a soaked napkin will greatly stretch and deform. Slowly correct the folds if they appear during gluing.

We join the drawings of both fragments, glue all the planned elements and let the glue dry.

We take acrylic paints and glitters. We select a red color that suits the tone and paint over the surface of the light bulb above the fragment of the napkin, continuing the drawing.

We do the same with the blue area at the bottom of the pattern. We do not leave white places on the toy. It should be covered either with a fragment of a napkin or with acrylic colored paint.

Now let the paint dry. This may also take several hours. We will only decorate a completely dry surface! Let's take a set of glitters and start doing magic. We apply silver sparkles to the snow-covered roofs of houses.

We outline the snowdrifts located in the background with blue glitter.

We go over the red background with red.

We draw in blue the contours of the snowdrifts in which there are houses, trees and fir trees.

With green we add volume to the Christmas trees, highlighting the tiers on their surface.

When you are completely satisfied with the decoration, leave the toy to dry. The glitter gel will evaporate, and the sparkles will remain on the surface of the toy. Now the light bulb can be varnished. We took acrylic varnish in a spray, which is suitable for any surface and dries quickly. We leave the room on the staircase, balcony or street and spray varnish on the toy from a distance of 30 cm, turning it so that the coating is even. We hang the product, placing a newspaper under it, and let it dry. After this, you can decorate the toy. We will need a second piece of tape and corrugated paper that is twice the width and height of the light bulb. The edges of the ribbon should be cut evenly with scissors and set on fire with a lighter so that they do not unravel.

Fold the paper in thirds lengthwise.

We take PVA glue and coat the lamp base with it around the circumference. Carefully apply the paper, collecting folds from it. We hope that it will be enough to cover the entire surface of the base. We secure the corrugated paper with a satin ribbon tied in a bow approximately in the place where it was coated with glue.

Let the decoration stick. Our Christmas tree toy made from a light bulb is ready!
