New Year's decorations made from candy wrappers

New Year is a wonderful holiday when you want to decorate your home and Christmas tree with the most original, unusual decorations. For an original Christmas tree decoration, making crafts from candy wrappers with your own hands is not difficult. Let's consider several original New Year's decorations - an angel, garlands, a star, a snowflake, a Christmas tree.

Angel

To make an angel you will need:

  • 2 candy wrappers,
  • bead or food foil,
  • threads,
  • stapler,
  • thin wire.

Performance:

  1. Take 2 candy wrappers. We fold each candy wrapper like an accordion, so that one is large - this is the body of the angel, the other is smaller - the wings. If the candy wrappers are rectangular, then we make one accordion along the length and the other along the width of the candy wrapper;
  2. We fold the prepared accordions in the center of each, edges down. We tie it with thread;
  3. We glue the edges of the bottom wrapper with glue or fasten it with a stapler on the back side of the wrapper and straighten it;
  4. We apply glue to the edges of the second candy wrapper, glue it to the body, straighten it - these are the wings of a Christmas angel;
  5. Roll a small ball out of foil - this is the head of an angel, or take a bead. Sew a bead or ball of foil to the body with thread or glue it with glue;
  6. We make a halo for the angel from wire, thread the lower part of the wire into a bead, and make a small knot at the bottom so that the halo does not fall off;
  7. In order to hang the angel on the Christmas tree, glue a thread to the back or glue a piece of New Year's rain. Angel is ready.

You can also make a garland from the angels by connecting each subsequent angel by the wing and body.

Garland

Masters of crafts made from candy wrappers with their own hands make a lot of options, limited only by the imagination of the performer. Let's look at 4 options for DIY candy wrapper garlands. The sequence of actions is maintained when creating any type of garlands. To create you will need: candy wrappers, a needle and thread.

Expert advice: It is better to choose a harsh or simple thread for the garland, fold it 2-4 times. A garland 1.5m - 2m long will look more beautiful.

1 type. Garland “Accordion”:

  1. We select candy wrappers and fold each one individually like an accordion;
  2. We put 5 candy wrappers together, find the middle of the accordion and sew one loop with a needle and thread;

  3. At the beginning of the garland, leave a loop, which will be needed to secure the garland to the tree;
  4. Step back 1 cm from the candy wrappers and tie a loop. This will make it possible to fix the candy wrappers in this gap so that they do not move along the entire thread;
  5. We repeat the steps again. We string 5 candy wrappers with an accordion and secure with a loop;
  6. And so the actions are performed along the entire length of the garland;
  7. Leave a loop at the end of the garland to secure the garland to the tree.

2nd view. Garland “Tube”:

Creating a piece of candy wrappers with your own hands in the form of a garland of tubes is not at all difficult. The creation process is repeated, as with the accordion garland. Only instead of an accordion, tubes of candy wrappers are twisted.

The tubes are lightly pressed in the middle to make a loop. Once the loop is made, the tubes are straightened so as not to lose their shape. The garland turns out voluminous and very beautiful.

The next type of candy wrapper garland is the easiest to make.

3rd view. Simple garland:

  1. The candy wrapper is folded into 4 equal parts and cut. They do this with all candy wrappers, cutting them into 4 equal parts;
  2. Collect 10 pieces and string tightly on a needle and thread;
  3. Every 3 cm of the garlands make a small loop to reduce the mobility of the candy wrappers along the length of the thread;

Such a garland can be made by cutting out any identical geometric shapes from candy wrappers - circles, stars, hearts and others.

4th view. Garland with balls:

  1. Roll small balls from food foil or chocolate;
  2. Fold the candy wrappers into an accordion shape;
  3. Prepare a thread and a needle;
  4. String the ball one by one, piercing it in the middle, then an accordion-shaped candy wrapper (in the middle or on one edge);
  5. We string until the thread runs out.

Advice from craftsmen: The garland will turn out lush and neat if you string it in the middle of an accordion

Star

A star from candy wrappers can be made in two versions. One simple 8-pointed, the second 16-pointed asterisk. For a 16-pointed one, you will need 16 candy wrappers, scissors, a cardboard circle or a laser disc.

Performance:

  1. Fold the candy wrappers diagonally, cut off the extra piece. If you now unscrew the corner, you will get a square wrapper;
  2. Fold (inside the wrapper) diagonally, first on one side, then on the other. On each side we smooth it well with a fingernail so that bends are formed, at the intersection of which the middle (the center of the wrapper) will be visible;
  3. Expand the diagonal. We fold 4 corners to the center of the square in turn. The result will be a smaller square;
  4. Fold it diagonally;
  5. Fold the entire figure in half on the side of the large triangle. The result is a right triangle with a tongue;
  6. We carry out the same actions with the rest of the candy wrappers;
  7. When all the candy wrappers are folded into separate rays of the star, they need to be glued with a tongue into a right triangle.

For the 16-pointed star, the process of creating the rays is the same, but in the end one star is glued on one side to the cardboard or laser disk, the second on the other side.

Expert advice: For star-shaped crafts, it is better to choose paper-based candy wrappers; they are easier to fold and glue.

Snowflake

It’s very easy to make a snowflake using candy wrappers. Do it yourself or involve children, friends, and loved ones in such an interesting activity. The result is bright and unusual snowflakes. The easiest option is to cut out snowflakes from candy wrappers according to a template, but it will not turn out voluminous. For a three-dimensional craft in the shape of a snowflake you will need 3 candy wrappers, a stapler and thread.

Performance:

  1. Fold the candy wrappers diagonally, cut off the excess so that you get square candy wrappers;
  2. Starting from one corner to the opposite, fold the candy wrapper like an accordion; do the same with the rest of the candy wrappers;
  3. Connect all 3 candy wrappers in the middle and tie with thread;
  4. Fasten the edges of the candy wrappers together with a stapler;
  5. Straighten the snowflake a little and glue a thread to hang the snowflake on the Christmas tree.

A beautiful and fluffy snowflake can also be made from candy wrappers twisted into a tube.

It will require 5 candy wrappers:

  1. Twist all the candy wrappers into a tube;
  2. Gather everything together and press a little in the middle, tie tightly with a thread;
  3. Carefully, without unrolling, spread the edges of the tubes around the entire circle of snowflakes.

Tip: On accordion snowflakes you need to make small cuts or cutouts.

You will get an openwork snowflake. To decorate it, glue beads, sequins and New Year's tinsel on top of the snowflakes.

Herringbone

The New Year tree is made not only from sweets, but also from candy wrappers.

Performance:

  1. Fold a cardboard cone in advance and glue it well;
  2. Cover the cone with double-sided tape;
  3. Make tubes or bags from candy wrappers (as for seeds);
  4. Prepared candy wrappers should be glued from bottom to top;
  5. Attach a star or a cone of candy wrappers to the top of the Christmas tree;

A simple version of the New Year tree is made using a sushi stick, a hole punch and candy wrappers of different sizes, and a plastic cup with sand or plasticine.

Performance:

  1. Sort the candy wrappers by size (small, medium, large);
  2. Use a hole punch to make a hole in the middle of the candy wrappers;
  3. Insert a sushi stick into a glass with sand;
  4. String candy wrappers onto it, starting with the big ones. Ending with the smallest;
  5. Glue a star, bead or cone to the top.

Crafts for children

In addition to the sphere of decor and interior design, crafts are used for kindergartens. First, children develop a developed imagination. Things that at first glance seemed out of place find their place.

As mentioned earlier, during development, imagination, concentration and sensorimotor are involved. Sensorimotor is the knowledge of controlling movements and emotions by balancing the eyes and ears with movement.

Butterfly

We have all seen butterflies and been amazed at their attractiveness more than once. The wings are colorful and pleasing to the eye. Now we will look at how to create an equally attractive butterfly.

Fold the two wrappers diagonally into an accordion shape.

Next, fold the labels in half and connect them with thread at the fold, which is also the antennae.

We straighten the wings and glue the antennae at the junction of the upper wings and find a charming butterfly.

This method is similar to origami. Therefore, we can safely call creating origami from candy wrappers.

Dress for a doll

It would be a good idea for girls to make a dress for a doll. You can make colorful, exclusive, lush clothes. Before making, you need to purchase double-sided adhesive tape, bright wrappers, scissors, and candy molds.

Scheme for creation:

  1. First you need to edit the candy molds to match the desired dress;
  2. Then we will attach the double-folded light yellow part of the wrapper to the tape at the bottom of the outfit. In the same place we will fix the frills;
  3. Remove the bottom layer of adhesive tape and attach to it the first layer of corrugated strip of fabric sewn in the center.
  4. Before applying the final touches, you should assemble them, using this diagram to process the entire length of the dress.

Fish

One of the decorations for a children's room is an applique made from candy wrappers. For example, a fish:

  • Before gluing begins, you need to prepare the base.
  • You can either draw a picture or create a scene using candy wrappers.
  • For the fish themselves you will need a glue stick, fishing line and candy wrappers.
  • Cut the candy wrapper to make it square. From the excess part we fold a narrow strip for a sharp tail, and fold the square into a triangle.

Flowers

When decorating a room, flowers help solve important problems. They can easily highlight advantages and disguise disadvantages. Plus, they make a great gift. Simple and beautiful.

To create flowers we will need candy wrappers, scissors, and a glue stick. Usually a thread and a needle are also used, but since this is unsafe for children, there is an alternative creation option, which we will now consider:

  1. We fold the wrappers into an accordion;
  2. We glue their centers together in a chaotic manner;
  3. Glue the stem to the center;
  4. A leaf to the stem.

Just four points and the flower is ready.

Dress made from candy wrappers

Creating a beautiful dress from candy wrappers is a painstaking task that requires perseverance, creative talent and quite a bit of money to buy candy. To create a dress for a child 8-10 years old, you will need at least 5,000 candy wrappers. In order to quickly collect the required amount of candy wrappers, involve your friends, relatives, and acquaintances.

Before making a dress, you need to decide what technique the dress will be made in? Based on the type of basket weaving, such a dress will be strong and suitable for frequent wear.

  6. We fold the ends of the candy wrapper into the middle and fold them in half again, so that the ends are inside the workpiece;
  7. We put the blanks into each other, intertwining them with each other. It turns out a zigzag row;
  8. We sew each row together with a strong thread of a suitable color. Gradually, a canvas will be obtained from which a dress will be formed to the required size.

The edges of the cup must be coated with glue to glue the ball. The topiary is ready.

Basket

For the holiday of Christmas, you and your child can make a good craft in the form of a basket of candy wrappers with your own hands to collect sweets and gingerbread cookies after carols.

Beautiful sunflower made from candy wrappers

You need to prepare:

  • 5 wrappers (4 yellow, two green);
  • scissors;
  • colored cardboard/paper;
  • threads;
  • scotch;
  • stapler

Fold the yellow wrappers like an accordion, then gather them together and tie them with thread.

The edges of the accordions are connected with tape/stapler, then the flower is straightened.

Cut out the middle of the cardboard and fix it.

Green forfeit is useful for leaves. We fold it diagonally into an accordion, then bend it in a ratio of 1:3, tie it with thread, then smooth it out.

The second green wrapper acts as a stem connecting the leaves and the flower.

If desired, decorate the sunflower with ladybugs.

Hat

A great idea for creating a craft from candy wrappers is a hat. A child can create a hat for himself or for a doll with his own hands, while developing creativity, perseverance and patience. Such creative work between mother and child will allow you to spend more time together.

  • candy wrappers,
  • threads,
  • needle,
  • cardboard,
  • centimeter,
  • scissors.

  1. We measure the child's head with a centimeter;
  2. Iron candy wrappers through cheesecloth;
  3. We fold the candy wrapper 8 times, bend the edges inward and fold it in half so that the ends are inside the folded candy wrapper;
  4. We form bundles of the required length by placing one candy wrapper into another candy wrapper;
  5. Determine the desired depth of the hat. For example: 10 strands are 10-12 cm, which means the depth of the hat will be 10-12 cm;
  6. We sew the bundles together to create a small fabric. Roll it into a ring and tie it tightly with threads, or with a bright, beautiful ribbon - this will be the back side of the hat;
  7. We measure the diameter of the resulting ring. To this diameter we add the width of the hat brim. For example: The diameter of the ring is 12 cm, the brim of the hat is 10 cm. Then you need to cut out a circle from cardboard 12 cm + 10 cm (front) + 10 cm (back) = 32 cm; Inside the hat, cut a circle with a diameter of 11 cm, i.e. 1 cm less than the diameter of the ring of strands;
  8. On the inside of the cardboard circle, make cuts along the diameter at a distance of about 1 cm from each other. Bend these cuts upward and sew them inside to the hat from ropes;
  9. For the brim of the hat, prepare strands of candy wrappers and glue them with glue;
  10. For the top of the hat, cut out a circle of the required diameter from cardboard, cover it with strands or just candy wrappers.

Crafts masters advise: Sew all the details of the hat using an overcast stitch and thick, strong thread.

Beads

Making beautiful beads from candy wrappers with your own hands will be interesting even for the smallest child.

1st option:

  1. Glue together several candy wrappers with double-sided tape;
  2. Screw the sticky edge onto the handle to create a long tube. Cut it into small rings;
  3. Thread the rings onto a ribbon or strong thread.

2nd option:

  1. Roll up circles from candy wrappers - make several of these beads;

  2. Roll up some cotton wool in the center of the candy wrapper, tying it with thread to prevent it from falling out. You will get a kind of bead with a train;
  3. Thread the resulting beads onto a needle and thread.

Angel as a New Year's toy

Angels will serve as a colorful and interesting Christmas tree decoration. To create one such figure it will take 2 bright forfeits and a bead. Wrappers need strictly different sizes.

Each phantom is folded into an accordion and bent in the middle. This is followed by placing the forfeits on top of each other and connecting them with wire or a paper clip.

Place the bead in the center, tie the wire with a loop.

Straighten the accordion and glue the lower ends to the upper ones.

Bracelet

Performance:

  1. Divide the candy wrappers by color and iron with a warm iron. For the bracelet you will need 25 candy wrappers;
  2. We bend the edges of the first wrapper inward and fold it in half lengthwise, so that the edges are on the inside. (The rest of the candy wrappers are also rolled up);
  3. Fold the resulting strip in half crosswise;
  4. Connect 2 blanks by inserting the first into the second. The result is a loop that should be slightly larger than the width of the strip made. On the other side there will be 2 edges of the workpiece; DIY crafts made from candy wrappers can be combined with various beads, chains and other decorative items.
  5. Turn the first edge parallel to the second strip - you will get a corner that needs to be folded on top of the second strip;
  6. The same actions are performed with the second edge. If the workpiece is turned sideways, the folds will look like an airplane. Secure these folds with a paper clip or clothespin;
  7. Do the same steps with the second strip - you get 2 airplanes, the wings of which must be tucked into the first strip;
  8. Next, insert the subsequent strips one by one and carry out the same actions;
  9. Having finished weaving the strips, we roll the bracelet into a ring. We remove the clothespin from the first strip and tuck the airplane wings into the last strip, thus connecting the entire bracelet.
