Herringbone
Let's start our crafts according to tradition with the symbol of the New Year - the Christmas tree.

Choosing the right cabochon is already half the success in such work.
It will help create the look of a beautiful princess, and simple ribbons and lace will create a fairy-tale dress. Christmas tree toy in the form of a princess step by step
1. The size of the toy directly depends on the cabochon. Usually such parts are not large, so the given size of the skirt template is optimal. The flounces of the ball gown will be made from soft pink narrow stripes and lace tracks, and beads are necessary for additional decor.
2. Make spiky petals using soft pink satin stripes. Fold in half at a 90 degree angle. Then bend it again, highlighting the house corner in the center. A pocket will be visible on the reverse side. This is the detail that is needed later.
3. Prepare a pink felt trapezoid. Cut the longest strip of red lace, 15.5 cm long. Glue white beads in a row.
4. Glue the strip to the wide side of the A-line skirt, creating a beautiful frill (the first flounce), forming an even fold.
5. On top, overlap a layer of 6 pointed petals of soft pink color.
6. Next, continue assembling the fluffy ball gown, layering similar strips, only they will decrease in length. For example, the third layer will be a track of red lace 11 cm long with white beads.
7. The fourth layer is 5 soft pink petals, the fifth is 8 cm long red lace with beads, the sixth is 4 soft pink petals, the seventh is the last 7 cm piece of lace. Make the last neat fold at the top.
8. A beautiful lush bow will be visible on the back of the dress. Prepare red stripes and white narrow tracks with lurex to model four loops. Align them lengthwise, bend and singe.
9. Assemble a bow from four parts.
10. Now the main parts are assembled: the hem of the dress with frills and a beautiful bow. Time to use the cabochon.
11. Glue the bow and the bottom. Attach a belt to the beauty's waist, which is not only designed to decorate the entire product as a whole, but also to hide the junction of the main parts. The belt will consist of a soft pink satin ribbon decorated with a silver splint.
12. Glue the ends of the lace into the center of the structure to form a loop. Decorate the top with a cabochon depicting Snow White.

Kanzashi crown for the New Year: how to please the little princess and the big queen
Any decoration has magical powers for a girl, girl or woman. To create a festive mood, a New Year's tiara or kokoshnik is suitable - whichever you like best.
As a basis for the crown, you can take a wide or narrow hoop, or even an ordinary, unremarkable crown from any toy store. It is better to choose two types of ribbons for decoration - satin and organza. This way the crown will look truly royal.
Here we will use a different technique. For a beautiful crown, you will have to cut the ribbon into squares. Therefore, it is better if the tape is wide. The only thing this technology has in common with the previous one is that the blanks also need to be folded into triangles. But their “production” does not end there - now the corners need to be pulled together and secured.
vnitkah.ru
To make the decoration even more beautiful, try placing satin and organza triangles on top of each other, and only then connecting the ends. You can also attach a bead in the middle of the resulting petal.
Connect the petals together with glue to form a crown. How to do it? Look at the petals - they look like a diamond. Keeping this association in your head, glue the side tops of the blanks together.
The decoration should not be flat, it should be voluminous so that such a “crown” can be placed on the table, and it would stand upside down without any problems.
Having completed the first circle, fasten the last petals together and place the workpiece on a felt round base. Now start creating the second circle: apply glue to the bottom top of the diamond and attach it between the two petals of the first circle.
Glue the finished crown to the rim. The original decoration is ready!
And this is how you can make a kokoshnik-kanzashi:

Christmas ball made from bias tape
This lesson shows one of the options for decorating a Christmas tree - an elegant ball. It will turn out colorful and light, and will not break if it falls on the floor. You can rightfully consider it a creative handmade product that you can repeat and decorate your Christmas tree or give to friends.
The ball is made without a base. If you prepare fittings of the same size, you will get a product about 5-6 cm in size. So the decoration will be quite noticeable.
So, for work you will need:
- 8 pieces of red bias tape - 1.5*7 cm;
- 8 pieces of pink bias tape - 1.5*6 cm;
- 8 pieces of yellow bias tape - 1.5*5 cm;
- 8 pieces of gold bias tape - 1.5*4 cm;
- 8 pieces of white bias tape - 1.5*3cm;
- golden tire;
- half (longitudinal) lace Track - 2*20 cm;
- golden huggers: round and bell – 1 pc. each;
- crimson half bead with a diameter of 8 mm – 1 pc.;
- gold cord.
As you can see, what is used here for working in the kanzashi technique is not a standard satin ribbon, but a denser, elastic bias tape. The width of the segments is the same, they differ only in length, the stripes are gradually shortened, since the rings of the New Year's ball will be created from the parts. If you don’t have bias tape, then choose some other dense material; if you use satin or brocade ribbon, you will have to use a base - for example, a tennis ball.
New Year's kanzashi ball step by step
1. Cut the bias tape into lengths, guided by colors. The lengths are indicated in the list: 7 cm, 6 cm, 5 cm, 4 cm, 3 cm. Assemble the parts in pairs. You don’t have to singe the strips right away; it’s rational to do this at the second stage.
2. Fold the pieces in half lengthwise and solder the ends together using a lighter. Thus, the dense material will be doubled, and the ends will be singed and will not crumble.
3. Next, glue the bent pieces of the same length together in pairs. You need to get rings; to do this, connect each end to the other end at an angle of 90 degrees. The result will be rings - three-dimensional parts of the same shape, but decreasing in size and of different colors. These will be the starting layers for the interesting petals.
4. Then glue the resulting droplet rings into each other. The result is a convex petal. Assemble the parts like a pyramid.
5. The last white ring will be the smallest. It is difficult to model due to the short length of the segments. Glue it in carefully last. There will be a hole in the center of the five-layer petal. In total you will need 4 identical five-layer petals.
6. Glue the individual parts (these will be quarters of a volumetric ball) together. Make smooth and clear joints. Prepare a gold splint to mask the seams, apply it to the parts from top to bottom to measure the length.
7. Glue the ball together and glue pieces of the tire crosswise to enhance the decoration. In this case, you need to use a minimal amount of glue; you can only drop it into the upper and lower poles of the ball, then press down the ends of the segments.
8. Decorate the bottom of the toy with a gold hugger and a pink half-bead (they will not only decorate the product as a whole, but will also hide the joints that will remain in the glue). Press with your finger exactly at the center point.
9. For the top of the decoration you need lace and a bell hug with a cord. Thread the lace onto a thread, pull it off, and glue the resulting fluffy cloud to the bell (insert the assembled tip into the small hole). But first insert a loop of gold cord into the hole of the bell.
10. Glue the top to the ball. The Christmas tree decoration is ready, its shape is standard, it’s easy to hang the product on a green thorny branch.
This beautiful handmade ball is unique and has no repetitions. You can make a whole set of similar products of different shapes and sizes.
Balls and other Christmas decorations
Ribbons make very beautiful Christmas tree decorations, for example, balls, bells, cones, lanterns and more. We have found simple and complex MKs for you, with which you can create the Christmas tree of your dreams!
#1 Simple New Year's ball made of ribbons
To create such a Christmas ball you will need: ribbons, safety pins, foam blank. Roll the ribbons into a ring and secure them to the workpiece with a pin. Continue until the entire ball is decorated with ribbon rings.
#2 Christmas ball made of satin ribbons
To make such a ball you will need: a foam blank, tape cut into strips slightly larger than the diameter of the blank, two safety pins.
#3 New Year's ball made of ribbons using the artichoke technique
And here is a slightly more complex version of the craft. The whole difficulty actually lies in the fact that you will have to spend your time. You can arrange the colors to your taste, and you can learn the secrets of the “artichoke” technique from the step-by-step MK.
#4 Christmas ball made of ribbons
Here is another option for decorating a blank with a narrow ribbon. This MK uses glue instead of safety pins, and there is no need to cut the tape itself into pieces. The tape is wound obliquely through two points on the surface of the ball. Each time you pass the tape through one of these points, drop a drop of glue and secure a new layer. Step-by-step photo instructions are given below.
#5 Artichoke style cone
From ribbons you can make not only a ball, but a cone, for example. To do this, you will need a special blank, ribbons of a suitable color and safety pins in large quantities. Cut the ribbons into equal squares, wrap them into a triangle and secure them to the workpiece with a pin.
#6 Ribbon cone
And here is another version of a ribbon cone, only easier to make, but no less effective. To make it you will need a cardboard blank, a narrow ribbon of a suitable color and glue. The step-by-step process of making the craft is shown in the photo below.
#7 Icicle for Christmas tree made from ribbon
A very simple craft. To make such an icicle you will need a narrow ribbon, a pencil and thread. Wrap the tape around the pencil, secure it and leave it overnight. In the morning, remove the ribbon, sew on a thread and you can decorate the Christmas tree!

New Year's composition.
To make a New Year's composition, in addition to a Christmas tree and a snowman, I needed:
- polyurethane foam (dried) - for the base;
- ceiling tiles - for the base;
- padding polyester - the basis for snow;
- foamed polyethylene foam - for snow;
- shaving machine - for snow;
- polystyrene foam - for gifts;
- paints - for gifts;
- glue “Titan”;
- toothpicks.
First the basics. I needed a “piece of snow-covered forest.” In principle, there are many options for how to do it. I used what I had available.
After foaming the door jambs, a piece of dried foam remained. She didn’t let her husband throw away the scraps of foam and in time she dragged a large piece of foam into the hole. I knew that sooner or later it would come in handy in needlework.
This piece of foam was used:
- I trimmed the foam. This will be a bump.
- I glued the foam to a piece of ceiling tile.
- I glued a piece of padding polyester on top and cut it off.
- Turned everything upside down. I folded the edges of the padding polyester and glued them to the ceiling tiles.
The question that remained was how to make artificial snow from scrap materials? After searching the Internet for information, I found the article “Snow in scrap.” The author of the article, Svetlana, gave wonderful advice on how to make snow from polyethylene foam.
It seems to me that this is the best way to make artificial snow from scrap materials. Svetlana, thank you and special thanks to your husband!
The essence of this method is simple: shave the polyethylene foam. And it turns out to be very realistic snow. Below in the final photos you can see that this snow is very similar to real snow.
Having prepared the amount of snow I needed, I glued it to the base. To do this, I applied a thick layer of “Titan” glue to the padding polyester. And on top, I sprinkled snow on the glue and pressed it lightly.
After covering the entire base with snow, I installed the Christmas tree. To do this, I inserted three toothpicks into the cork of the Christmas tree, and then pierced the base with them. I added more glue in the gap between the cork and the snow and pressed the cork to the base.
Separately, I would like to say that when assembling the New Year's composition, I had to give up my favorite hot-melt glue. Since this glue is hot, and the base of the composition is all synthetic and warps and melts due to temperature.
All that remains is to make beautifully “wrapped gifts” under the Christmas tree.
To do this, I cut foam cubes with a sharp knife.
I painted the foam cubes in different colors. And tied ribbons like holiday wrapping.
I pierced the “gifts” with toothpicks and stuck them in the snow, just like the Christmas tree.
Finally, the New Year's composition is ready!
This is what I got - a Christmas tree made of ribbons, a snowman made of cotton pads, gifts and snow!
I photographed the work on real snow. Look how homemade snow looks little different from the real thing.
Now, this snowman by the Christmas tree will decorate our New Year holidays.
And if you put white tinsel around the New Year’s composition, it will be even more interesting.
This is the New Year's fairy tale I came up with.
Friends, if you found my master class useful, share it with your friends!

Technology for making a Christmas tree from satin ribbons
To decorate the “trunk”-base, cut off any bright, openwork ribbon to the required length and paste it onto a toilet paper roll.
Let the openwork tape “grab the trunk” well, and at this time let’s move on to making the cone. Why use a compass to draw a semicircle on cardboard, which we cut out.
We twist the cut out semicircle into a cone and secure the joint at the base with a stapler (this will be more convenient), and glue the entire joint higher to the top.
To connect the cone with the “trunk”, lubricate the upper part of the base with glue and “push” the cone, pressing it a little. We leave this blank and move on to making “needles”. We cut off 6 cm from the tape. In principle, you won’t be doing many operations with the tape, so you don’t have to singe the ends. If you still want to be absolutely sure that the ends will not fray, then you can carefully singe them over a candle. Fold the ribbon in half lengthwise.
Then in the middle of our piece we fold one part towards itself.
We do the same with the other part.
And we fasten the ends with a stapler (you can sew them together).
Now we just glue the resulting “needles” tightly to each other onto the base.
We move up one row.
We decorate the top with bows on both sides, which can be made using different technologies, as you like.
Glue bows on both sides to the Christmas tree.
And we decorate the bows with beads, gluing them.
This is how, with a little effort and time, you can make a beautiful Christmas tree from available materials. You can choose a completely different color of the ribbons; you can make a multi-colored Christmas tree, for example, 2 rows of different colors. Choose, for example, green ribbon of different shades. And go from dark to lighter. Or you can turn on a row of red color after a few rows. Each row can be a different shade - purple, green, yellow, blue, etc. Imagine and create! Happy New Year holidays to you! And original Christmas trees!
The main association with the New Year holidays is, of course, a beautiful and elegant Christmas tree. Today, Christmas trees come in a wide variety of varieties, made from the most incredible materials and using unexpected techniques.
