1. Multi-colored candle
You will need regular wax or old unnecessary candles, colored wax crayons and wicks. Melt the wax and crayons in the microwave or in a water bath, stir with a wooden stick and spread beautifully in layers on candlesticks.
2. An owl made of cones
You can decorate a Christmas tree with such owls or just put it on the table. In addition to the cones, you will need multi-colored felt, wire for the legs and a glue gun. Use the blanks from the diagram or draw your own funny faces and wings.
3. Christmas tree made of threads
If you have a lot of beautiful and voluminous threads left, it's time to make New Year's gifts out of them. Lubricate a PVA cone made of polystyrene or thick cardboard, wrap it tightly with threads and decorate with beads, buttons and all kinds of tinsel. Let each guest have a personal Christmas tree for their character or style!
4. Bull made of felt
The easiest way to sew a charming goby is from felt, because it fits perfectly and does not need to be trimmed. Just in case, we found a scheme for you, according to which you can make both a bull and a cow as a gift.
5. Calendar for 2021 with photos
The scrapbooking desk calendar will not leave anyone indifferent. Make it an accordion or a regular loose-leaf calendar. Choose memorable pictures, paste or write in a monthly layout and decorate the pages.
6. Christmas candlesticks
Themed candlesticks are always a great holiday gift. Moreover, they can be made as a whole set so that you no longer have to decorate the table with different-colored coasters. Use paper, ribbons, spruce branches, cinnamon sticks and other pretty little things.
7. Embroidered keychain
This tiny hoop with a small touching pattern is the perfect DIY gift for the New Year. Fir-trees and snowmen can be fully embroidered or sewn from thin felt with different volumetric details.

This is the case where the main thing is a beautiful design. Tangerines and sweets can be imagined as pineapple, bottles can be disguised as deer, and sweets can be folded into beautiful sets or jars.
9. Goby from polymer clay
From polymer clay or the so-called "plastic" you can make such a bull as a gift. The main thing is to attach the small details well, and so that it has time to harden.
10. Salted dough bull
Making such a New Year's gift with your own hands is as easy as shelling pears. And when it hardens, you can paint it as you like. To prepare a blank, mix 150 g each of flour and fine salt with 100 ml of water.
11. Christmas ball with snow
You will need a ball base or a regular rolling jar, small figurines and decor. Snow is made from foam crumbs, glitter and semolina. And the falling flakes are made of the same foam or cotton wool on the fishing line.
12. Christmas cookies and gingerbread
With the help of multi-colored glaze from any gingerbread or cookies, you can make an interesting DIY gift for the New Year. For a nice thick glaze, combine 110 g of caster sugar, half of the protein and food coloring.
