How to make an original snowflake yourself
It was these winter crafts that were and remain the mainelement of children's creativity. Of course, you can resort to a proven method and cut snowflakes from paper napkins. However, there are ways of much more interesting. Volumetric snowflake For children 5-7 years old, who already have developed a small motor skills and have the skill of working with scissors, an interesting variant will be a snowflake made of twisted paper. To do this, you need:
- Base is a sheet of white or colored cardboard;
- Stencil to apply the drawing on the cardboard;
- Twisted from dense colored paper serpentine;
- Scissors;
- PVA glue;
- To decorate the beads, rhinestones, sequins.
On a sheet of cardboard we translate or we put drawingsnowflakes. It would be nice to make it multi-pointed, fluffy. With the help of scissors cut out of thick paper thin and long strips. Since the snowflake usually has pastel shades, choose the paper of the appropriate color. For the standard sheet A-4, the strips are 5-7 millimeters wide. Then tightly twist the stripes into tight skeins. If desired, they can be given the wrong shape: press the corners slightly to create a rhombus, an oval, a polygon. Each hank is glued onto the cardboard with the help of PVA glue. We fill the entire field of the future snowflake with such coils and allow the product to dry out. It will take at least two hours. In order to give the snowflake a more elegant look, you can glue the perimeter and center of each bundle with rhinestones or beads. This technique allows you to make your own hands, not only snowflakes, but also a snowman, a Christmas tree, a star. Application of lace Very small children can be invited to perform an applique. To do this, you will need:
- Sheet of cardboard (not white).
- White thin lace.
- Pieces of foam plastic.
- PVA glue.
Billets for crafting you have to doyourself. To do this, from the lace, cut out several identical parts, and also make a sketch on the cardboard. Further, involve the child - the rest of the work he will be able to do with his own hands. We paste the workpieces onto the cardboard: with the help of a brush, apply glue and tightly press the lace. To make the original edging, you can dab the brush in the glue, then into the fine foamy crumb and walk around the perimeter of the snowflake. 
What are the Christmas trees

Bear in the north
Winter crafts are not only snowflakes, spruce andsnowmen. Let's take a look at a master class that will tell you how to make a nice polar bear with your own hands. It will take "soft cardboard", made according to the previous version (blue sintepon plus cardboard), white sintepon, marker or beads.
- To the cardboard is attached a blue or blue sintepon, imitating snow;
- A figure from a white sintepon cuts out a bear figure and is pasted onto a cardboard blank;
- Using a comb with small denticles, we comb out the little animal so that its "fur" is slightly rasstohmatalsya;
- With the help of a marker, we draw eyes, ears, and nose. Beads can also be used for these purposes.
Variety of garlands
From candy wrappers Candy wrappers are rubbish,which flies to the basket? And in vain! Of these, you can make a rather original winter crafts, for example, Christmas garlands. Start collecting candy wrappers as early as possible and be sure to involve the child in the process. He will really like this idea, and the day when it will be possible to implement it, he will wait with impatience. If you can not collect enough wrappers, you can replace them with a multi-colored foil. So, we begin. Prepare candy wrappers, foil, thick yarn and gypsy needle. Roll the paper blanks into an accordion. Now take the needle and thread and string the wrappers, trying to push them to each other as tightly as possible. At the same time unfold one wrapper along, the other - across. As a result, you will get a "fluffy" tinsel-garland - a very original hand-made kindergarten craft. From cones To begin with, cut the tips of the knobs with nippers to give them a rounded shape. Each piece is processed with white gouache (or another like paint). We take a strong thick thread, wet it in PVA and glue it to the bases of the cones. As soon as the garland is completely dried, we adorn her herringbone.
Christmas decorations
The most famous New Year decoration isChristmas ball. And you can do it yourself. To create a craft, you will need: a balloon, threads of a mule of different colors, glue PVA. So, what should I do?
- Inflate the balloon to the required size;
- Soak the threads in a lot of glue, let them soak;
- Slightly wring out, wrap the thread on the ball. And the density of the winding depends solely on your assiduity;
- You can sprinkle the entire product with a shiny hair spray;
- Let the craft work dry. This will take at least eight hours;
- Using a thin needle, gently pierce the ball and release the air;
- If there is an opportunity to untie it - it will be wonderful. The main thing is that the ball does not burst before the time;
- Remove the rest of the ball through loosely threaded threads.
