Christmas balls

This includes colored cardboard, old postcards and covers of unnecessary magazines. Colored cardboard balls, plain, will give the Christmas tree or the room that you want to decorate a single style, and colorful balloons will bring the atmosphere of a holiday, magic and a winter fairy tale.

Before you sit down to make a new toy, prepare:

• thick paper;
• use old magazines, cardboard boxes or candy boxes with bright patterns;
• glue, PVA is best;
• scissors;
• a compass or any other object that you can circle around to get an even circle.

Take your cardboard and circle twenty-one identical circles on it, then cut them out with scissors. Each circle is to be folded as follows: bend the circle in half twice, on one side and the other, then straighten it, this will mark the center of the circle.

Bend only one side of it again, so that the edge of the circle is exactly in the intended center. Bend again so the two sides, so you get a triangle. In one of the twenty circles, cut out this triangle, it will serve as a kind of stencil for the rest of the circles. All that remains for you is to impose a triangle on the rest of the circles, circle it and bend the edges of the circles outward along the office.

Take the first ten circles and glue them in a strip, alternating: five down - five up. Glue the resulting strip into a ring, this will serve as the basis for the toy.

Divide the remaining ten by five, and glue them into a circle. By gluing them, you will get two caps.

The top and bottom covers will be glued to the base in the same way. Consider a loop to hang your toy from.

Children can easily help you make such a New Year's toy: you will need scissors, colored paper, packing ribbons.

• paper glue.

And now we start:

1. We make two circles for the snowman's body. To do this, we take 2 sheets of a larger format and 2 sheets of a smaller one. We fold them with an accordion.
2. We bend the accordions in half. On the one hand, we glue the ends with each other, we get a semicircle. We glue together 2 large semicircles and two smaller semicircles. We glue a smaller circle on top of a large one. This is the body of a snowman.
3. In the same way, we make small circles for pens and glue them to the snowman.
4. Cut out circles for eyes and buttons from black paper and glue them on the snowman.
5. We make a cone of orange paper and attach it to the snowman in place of the nose.
6. We cut out a hat from black paper, decorate it with a strip of white paper and glue it on the snowman's head.
7. We cut off a long strip of blue paper, cut it along the edges and tie it to the snowman as a scarf.
8. It remains to make a whisk. Add up white paper accordion and fasten the ends.
9. We make an accordion out of orange paper and fold it in half, attach it to a strip of white paper and attach it to the snowman's handle.

With this snowman, you can decorate the wall in the room by attaching it with pins and needles or double-sided tape to the wallpaper.

And if you make such a snowman in a smaller format, then it will be a great decoration for a postcard. Complete the postcard with paper snowflakes or a Christmas tree made using the same technique, that is, from sheets of paper folded like an accordion and glued in layers.
