Modular origami Santa Claus - master class



We will need: sheets of A4 paper: of blue color- 14 pieces for 211 modules, white - 13 pieces for 207 modules, pink - 1 sheet for 17 modules.

We divide each sheet into 16 rectangles, from which we will make modules.

Step one. We bend a rectangular sheet along in half. With the help of another fold, we outline the line of the middle.

Step two. We bend the edges of the rectangle folded along to the middle, as shown in the photo. Turn the part over and bend the bottom edges up.

Step three. We fold the corners, bending them over a large triangle, and then bend these corners inward. We bend the resulting figure in half - so we learned how to make a module. Now, in the same way, we make the required number of modules, indicated above, from the rest of the paper.

Step four. Let's start making crafts. We take 5 white modules and arrange them as in the photo (we place the module of the upper row with the smaller side up). Next, we assemble a chain of 3 rows of white modules. Each row consists of 25 pieces.

Step five. We close the chain in a ring and turn it over. Next, we perform 3 rows of blue modules. From the seventh row we make a beard. To do this, insert 2 white modules with the smaller side out. The remaining blue modules of the 7th row are inserted as usual.

Step five. In the 8th row we fix 3 white modules, as usual, with the long side, the rest of the modules are blue. With each next row, add one white module on each side of the beard.

Step six. In the 11th row, we insert one red module in the middle of the beard - this is the mouth. 12 row consists of white modules. We put them on the blue modules with the smaller side outward, on the white modules (beard) - with the long side, as usual. In the 13th row, opposite the red module, we put on the white one with the long side out, and 2 pink modules each with the smaller side (see photo).

Step seven. In the 14th row we dress 6 pink modules with the smaller side, and we dress the white modules as usual. 15 row - we dress 17 white modules and 8 pink ones. In the 16th and 17th row we put on all the white modules with the smaller side outward - this is a hat.

Step eight. The last 18 row consists of blue modules with the smaller side out. We collect hands from 3 white modules and 5 blue ones. We glue the finished eyes and insert the nose (detail of the children's mosaic). Santa Claus from paper in technology modular origami ready. We hope that after studying the master class, the Snow Maiden, made in the same technique, will appear next to your Santa Claus.

  2. We cut out an oval from pink paper, draw eyes and a nose on it with a felt-tip pen and glue the face of Santa Claus to the cone.
  3. Next, glue the beard and white paper hat. To do this, cut out white stripes, cut a fringe on them and twist it with scissors. We glue the strips with twisted fringe to the cone in the lower part of the face in several rows, giving the beard splendor. We make a hat from the same strip. A beard, hat and fur coat for Santa Claus can be made from cotton wool, which is glued to the cone along its lower edge, on the face and upper part cone. Smart Santa Claus made of paper, made by hand, is ready. With the help of a cone, using fantasy, you can also make a Snow Maiden.

We collect a ball from 6 large rings, fastening it with glue in the upper and lower parts. From small rings, we collect a smaller ball in the same way. It turned out the torso and head of Santa Claus.
  2. From pink or orange paper, cut out a small circle for the face. We cut out a mustache, beard and hat of arbitrary size from corrugated cardboard and make out their faces. Cut out and glue the eyes and nose. Glue the face to a small ball, which is then glued to the body. We cut out mittens and felt boots from cardboard and glue them to the craft.

Schemes, printouts, drawings

What New Year is complete without Santa Claus? Santa Claus is the main attribute of the New Year. Fairytale time is on the nose, you need to start preparing already. Today we will make Santa Claus with our own hands from improvised materials.

To create Santa Claus, we need:

  • paper (for patterns);
  • cardboard (for a footrest);
  • wire (for shaping the legs);
  • glue gun (for strengthening and gluing parts);
  • thread with a needle (for sewing);
  • fabric (for pants, mittens, cap);
  • synthetic winterizer (for shaping the torso, nose and pompoms);
  • foam rubber (for shoes);
  • fleece (for tight boots);
  • paints (to create a face);
  • multi-colored felt (decoration for a fur coat, cap, shoes);
  • buttons, beads, beads (decoration for a fur coat);
  • wool (to create a mustache, beard, hair);
  • scissors.
We start creating Santa Claus with a pattern of his torso, as well as a stand for his legs. For this we use paper. The size of the finished product depends on the initial choice of the size of the pattern. For a stand for the future Santa Claus, we take cardboard and cut out a circle from it. Then we conditionally divide it into three equal parts and cut it at the intersection of the lines. We attach a synthetic winterizer to the cut out cardboard with glue and fit it with a piece of fabric. We pass the wire into the incised places and model the future legs.

We fasten a thin, relatively long wire to a massive wire. We fasten the places of fastening cardboard with wire, as well as wire with wire, with hot glue using a glue gun. From the same fabric that covered the circle, we cut out two long strips of a rectangular shape. We sew both rectangles from the wrong side and put them on Santa Claus's feet. This will be his pants.


On a paper pattern, we sew a cone of fabric. We do not sew the tip of the cone to the end. We turn the finished fabric cone inside out. We pass a thin wire into the resulting hole. We stuff the future torso with synthetic winterizer and sew it to the legs.

In order for Santa Claus to stand firmly and confidently, you need to strengthen the support of the legs. To do this, take cardboard, cut out traces. Using hot glue, we fix the footprints and the bent wire together. To give the boots a shape, we cut out the lining from the foam rubber and fix it with glue.

To make the boots attractive, we cover them with fleece material. We glue felt on the sole, if the material goes beyond the boundaries of the boots, then carefully cut it with scissors.

Here we come to the design of the face. Conditionally divide the cone into the body, head, hat. We make the nose from a small piece of fabric and synthetic winterizer. We put the synthetic winterizer inside the fabric and with the help of a needle and thread we tighten it to give the shape of a ball. Sew the nose to the face of Santa Claus. First, paint the face with white paint, then draw eyes, mouth, red nose and cheeks with other colors.

It's time to dress up Santa Claus. We sew a red fleece coat. We take the size a little larger than the body itself. Cut, sew, twist. According to the paper template, cut out 4 strips of future hands. We also sew them together, fill them with synthetic winterizer.

We put on a fur coat on the body, sew on the hands. We decorate the fur coat with details cut out of felt. Add beads, beads and drifts of snow from white felt.

From white felt we cut out strips for trimming the sleeves, collar, and lapels for boots.


We sew hands to the toy. What is Santa Claus without a beard? At this stage, we use a felting needle and attach a lush beard, then we model a chic mustache and hair. We trim the hair with scissors.

The final step is the manufacture of the cap. We sew together two conical pieces of fabric, then turn inside out. Right now, are we going to need that little wire? sticking out of my head. The cap is put on the head, and with the help of a wire we shape the tip of the headdress. We also decorate with a pom-pom made similarly to the nose and a white fleece lapel.


That's all, we made Santa Claus, which means we are ready to celebrate the New Year with our heads held high! Happy Holidays!

On the eve of the New Year holidays, everyone is waiting for miracles, preparing and trying to keep traditions. The kids are in a hurry to dress up Christmas tree so that Santa Claus comes faster and gives gifts. Recently, handmade crafts have become popular.

Paper Santa Claus

The art of origami is a complex but fascinating creative process. Originated a very long time ago. From childhood, we remember how our parents made boats for us, and we let them go along the streams. They also tried to learn this craft.

Over time, more and more complex compositions began to appear that require logical thinking designed to develop fine motor skills, memory. Therefore, the child must first perform origami toys under the guidance of adults, and then independently.

Materials:

  • colored red paper;
  • scissors.

Manufacturing process:

  1. To make a cap, you will need to cut a rectangle of the desired size out of paper.
  2. Then on both sides (which are longer), make longitudinal folds to a width of 1.5 cm.

From paint brushes

Cute Santa can be made from paint brushes. It can be hung on a Christmas tree or somewhere in the house in a conspicuous place.

You need to take a brush with a good pile, paint the handle in red with polka dots - this will be a hat. The beard is the pile of the brush, and the metal strip connecting the brush will serve as a face, so you need to stick eyes on it, just below the nose. Above the eyes, make a cool mop of cotton hair, tie it with a ribbon and decorate with a bow or flower arrangement.

  3. Then it remains only to put on a hat, glue or sew on eyes, a nose, a mustache from cotton pads, and give hands to Santa Claus with a staff. It can be made of wire and wrapped with tinsel.


And so that the long-awaited guests do not catch a cold, you can tie them scarves from strips of socks.

This time was really magical, because even ordinary paper, flavored with a drop of glue, in the hands of a child suddenly turned into a “Smiling Snowflake”.

Who are the snowflakes
Did you do these?
For work
Who is responsible?
- I! Santa Claus answered
And grabbed me
For the nose!
Galina Novitskaya







The children picked up strips of multi-colored paper, and they suddenly turned into colored balls and jumped onto the Christmas tree. Miracles, and more!








The ball teased from the top branch,
All in confetti and sparkles:
"Hey little kids!
You can't get me here!

You won't be able, goats,
Reach out to me!
Apparently, porridge without additives
Eating such a little thing!

To you, shorty insects,
Before me - like a star!
I'm too beautiful for you -
All in mica raindrops!

At least ten stools
Climb, at least a hundred,
All the same to the top branches
No one will reach!"

But, having heard the braggart,
Santa Claus got angry
Turned a smartass into a bump
Yes, and he took it to the squirrels!
Galina Dyadina

While the children were sleeping, a fabulous squirrel brought a whole basket of cones to the group. These cones were not ordinary, but magical. The cones squeaked all the time: “We also want to go to the Christmas tree!”. To hang them on the Christmas tree, the children painted them with magical colors, the teachers attached a wire to them and glued green bows together with the children. Suddenly, the cones lined up in a row, and turned into a beautiful garland. Here are miracles...






And the crepe paper suddenly spoke in a human voice: “Just think, a garland of cones, take me in your hands, then you will know what a real New Year's garland is.” Really, miracles, right?









The magical New Year's air filled the whole group. He pleasantly beckoned with the smell of tangerines, sweets and pine needles, but this air made the group feel cool. And we decided to make hats to keep warm.

Where is your hat?
Well, look!
Get dressed babe
One and two and three.
Beanie, beanie
The ears are warmer in it.
Beanie, beanie,
Warm up the baby.
Where is your hat
It's time for us to go.
Get it together, babe
The kids are waiting for us.
Beanie, beanie
The ears are warmer in it.
Beanie, beanie,
Warm up the baby.
Fink I.













Gouache paints jumped out of the box, and let's dance on black cardboard. Suddenly, the black cardboard changed, and turned into New Year's Eve. Here are miracles!

Under the blizzard song of the blizzard
Over the snow-covered yards
The magic sleigh flew
On the wings of frosty winds.
Under the thunder of the New Year's ball,
Chasing the boredom of winter away
From these sleighs we were waving
hand New year's night.
Gurina Irina





Admire what a magical transformation happened to our windows. Isn't it a miracle?

Frost drew patterns,
On our windows.
And I helped Frost,
All cut out the palms.
Where is the miracle? Does it exist?
I asked my sister
She looked at the window
And she laughed out loud.
T. Antonova


A detailed description of the design of the windows of our group can be found at:/blogs/tatjana-genadevna-antonova/novogodne-oformlenie-okon.html
Our mothers and fathers did not believe in miracles before. And when they came to the kindergarten for the children, they breathed in the magical New Year's air, and became completely different. They hurried home, but not to do household chores, or surf the open spaces. social networks. Not at all. At home, they set to work: they sewed, knitted, made something. And children - little wizards helped them. These are the miracles our parents did. Miracles!

Toy Santa Claus with his own hands will bring a holiday to any home. Believe it or not in a magical old man with a bunch of gifts in a bag, but every interior is full of his images. But the children believe in him unconditionally, therefore, making crafts in the form of Santa Claus, they probably expect the real one, bringing them a whole mountain of long-awaited gifts. Give your children real fairy tale and make with them a puppet, paper, plasticine - any Santa Claus that your imagination can only draw. And if our photos from interesting ideas, so even better.

Grandfather Frost with his own hands

We will devote our entire article to how to make Santa Claus with our own hands. After all, in fact, crafts can be very diverse: sewing, felting, knitting, appliqué, painting and modeling. Well, let's start with decoupage.

This plate with the image of Santa Claus is made using decoupage technique. beautiful napkin with a picture, you need to divide it into layers, you only need the top one, in fact, the one on which the picture is applied.

If you are decorating a plate or any object whose surface you will not use, you can use PVA glue to work. But in this work, the technique reverse decoupage, that is, a transparent glass plate is taken and the napkin is glued on the reverse side, and from the front it will shine through.

So, on the back surface, degreased with alcohol, put a napkin and moisten it with water. Make sure that the napkin is well saturated, but does not disperse. Be sure to remove excess water with a cotton swab. While the paper is still damp, cover the surface of the napkin acrylic varnish, thin layer. It should be applied with a narrow brush, moving from the center. The varnish should dry for quite a long time, about twelve hours. If desired, you can apply another layer, also taking enough time to dry. Patterns and ornaments are applied to the clean surface of the plate using acrylic paint, you can paint over the entire surface of the plate with paint. Another layer of acrylic varnish will complete the craft.

Do-it-yourself Santa Claus from felt

And such Santa Claus with his own hands can decorate your Christmas tree. It is made of felt, and you and I already know that it is completely simple to perform.

To sew the toy, you will need small pieces of white, beige and red felt. Of course, it’s a pity to buy large cuts to make such a crumb out of them, but you can make a lot of such Santa Clauses and give them to all your friends and acquaintances.

  • On paper, draw a pattern for your craft, you will need five elements - a head and a beard, a face, an edge, a hat, a mustache.
  • From beige felt we cut out one element - the face, from red two elements of the cap.

It is done quite simply - the first row of loops is closed in a ring and tied with single crochets. When the circle is already of sufficient size, tie it with several circles of snow-white threads, then change the thread to red and knit a hat. Loop long white threads into the bottom row, and then trim the resulting beard with scissors. Also make a red nose, like a real Santa Claus, from threads tied in a circle.
