Handmade toys have always been especially appreciated among similar shop figures. They will wonderfully decorate the house and become a touching gift, because each craft carries a piece of the soul of the one who created it. Do you want to try? Collected for you 10 simple and beautiful ideas for Christmas tree toys with your own hands!
1. Simple felt herringbone
Cut the felt into squares of different sizes - their number affects the size and volume of the Christmas tree. Put the base bead on a thick thread, collect all the layers and fasten on top with a decorative top bead with a loop.
2. Herringbone made of packaging cardboard
Cut out two parts from thick sheets of multi-colored cardboard or wrapping paper. Fold them in half so that the seamy side is not visible. Make cuts almost all the way, insert one into the other and thread the loop.
3. Disco ball on the Christmas tree
If you have old unnecessary discs that have long been a pity to throw away, their finest hour has come. Carefully cut it into chaotic pieces with scissors and place it on a glue gun. Both glass and plastic transparent base will work.
4. Hedgehog of their beads
Take a round foam base and old beads - the bigger and more varied they are, the better. Densely cover the whole ball with needles from them using pins or even long thin nails. Attach a nice matching ribbon loop.
5. Christmas pasta toys
Pasta of different shapes is a real puzzle or constructor. You can lay out original stars, snowflakes and any other figures from them. Use white and silver paint, artificial snow, glitter, rain, ribbons and other decor.
6. Christmas ball made of sequins
The principle is similar to making balls from beads. You will need the same fine pins, a foam base, and a set of multi-colored sequins. Gradually cover the whole ball with them and at the end of the day a loop with a ribbon. It will shine beautifully in the light and near the garland.
7. Balls from wrapping paper on the Christmas tree
Cut the beautiful colorful wrapping paper into thin strips and fold it with a star. Slip the middle over the wire base with the bead, form a ball and secure it. Use a thicker paper to hold its shape better.
8. Christmas toys made of salt dough
Mix 150 g flour, 120 g salt and 100 ml water into a smooth, elastic dough. Roll it out and cut interesting shapes with a knife or ordinary cookie cutters, make holes for the loop. Bake or dry them and paint, sprinkle with sparkles or artificial snow.
9. Cinnamon Christmas trees
Take cinnamon sticks and glue branches from real or artificial spruce to them. Tie a loop and decorate with buttons, rain and other small tinsel.
10. Openwork toys made of threads
Come up with a shape and line it up with matches or toothpicks in a foam base (for example, a food tray). Wrap with threads and saturate them well with glue, and then leave to dry. Carefully remove the figurine from the base and tie the loop.
