Time is inexorably running forward and now white flies are flying outside the window, slowly sinking to the ground and covering everything around with a snow-white fluffy blanket. However, despite the cold, my soul is warm and joyful. And all because suddenly appeared snowflakes portend the coming of the New Year. The most important holiday of the year is already very close, which means it's time to think about New Year's decor, gifts and, of course, crafts.
The days are getting shorter and the evenings are getting colder and longer. How to occupy yourself, and even more so your little fidgets, when it is already too dark for street winter fun? Well of course crafts. New Year's crafts can be made from the most unexpected materials: cocktail tubes and much more. But there are also more traditional materials such as paper. In this article, we have collected for you more than 60 step-by-step master classes on making paper crafts for the New Year. If you still think that only applications can be made of paper, then drop everything and carefully watch our article! Well, for those who are looking for something unusual and know what miracles can be created from ordinary paper, we can only advise you to immediately start the process of creating New Year's paper crafts according to our schemes and templates.
One of the simplest New Year's paper crafts can rightfully be considered a garland. We all remember well from our childhood how we decorated the Christmas tree with such paper garlands not only at home, but at school or kindergarten. Making a paper garland is very simple: colored paper is cut into strips of the same width, the first strip is glued into a ring, and each subsequent one is threaded into the previous ring and also glued together. This paper craft is ideal for 4-5 years old.
If the task of entertaining children is not worth it, but you need to decorate the house, then here's another version of a paper garland for you. It is made even easier than the previous one, but you need a sewing machine. So, to create such a New Year's paper craft, you will need: many circles of different diameters (the number depends on the size of the garland), a sewing machine. Sew circles through the center on a typewriter and hang a garland. Such a garland will "come to life" from any gust of air.
So, if you decide that the issue with garlands is closed and there is nothing more to come up with here, we hasten to upset you - this is only the very tip of the iceberg. Simple paper garlands are a beginner's activity. Professionals prefer more complex tasks, such as bulky paper crafts. Below is a master class on making a volumetric garland in the form of light bulbs.

By far the best gift is a handmade one. But this not only applies to gifts, but also decorations on the Christmas tree, on the wall, wardrobe, etc. More details are available later in the article.
Snowflakes
The first and most probably the simplest is snowflakes, a symbol of frost. They are different. I'll start with the simplest option.
So, I'll prepare:
- Scissors.
- Paper (A4 size).
- A simple pencil.
- Eight-pointed snowflake
The blank is folded from a square sheet of paper, so I cut off the excess part.
Since the square is folded in half, we should get a triangle. We fold the resulting triangle in half perpendicular to the base. Then I fold it in half again.
After that, I fold it again, and cut off the excess part. I outline the outline of the snowflake. I spread the cut out - I should get a snowflake. Now let's start making a six-rayed snowflake.
For this snowflake, I will need a square piece of paper. I fold a square sheet of paper in half. Then I bend the resulting blank, but do not fold, but only squeeze at the first fold, thus forming a notch in the center of the folded sheet.
I bend the second corner in the same way, only making sure that the second corner overlaps the first. Then I fold it along the vertical axis in half, drawn from the serif. After that I take a pencil and draw the outline of the snowflake. Then I cut along the contour.
Herringbone
What is New Year without a green beauty? For our first venture, we need to make a paper cone. Roses made from napkins will serve as "twigs" for our Christmas tree.
I fold each napkin in half and then in half again. After that, I staple it all in the middle with a stapler. After I have fastened, I cut out a circle from the napkin. I should have it multi-layered.
I take the topmost layer and twist it. This is what I do with all the layers. When I have done everything, I spread the rose a little. Now you need to glue the cone with roses so that there are no gaps and bald spots.
Christmas decorations made of paper
Moving on to paper Christmas tree decorations. What kind of Christmas tree am I without balls, icicles, cones and other decorations?
So let's make Christmas tree decorations for our forest beauty? For this I need:
- Thick paper.
- Old magazines, cardboard boxes and candy boxes.
- Scissors.
- Glue.
- Compass.
To begin with, I take cardboard and circle twenty-one identical circles and cut out the resulting circles with scissors.
Each circle needs to be folded for me as follows: I fold the circle in half twice, on one side and on the other. After that, I unbend and outline the center of the circle. Then I bend again, but this time on one side, so that the edge of my circle is exactly on the marked center. I bend it again on two sides. I should get a triangle.
In one of twenty circles, I need to cut this triangle, which will serve as a kind of stencil. Next, all we need to do is put a triangle on the rest of the circles, tracing it and bending the edges of the circles outward along the contour.
Now I need to take the first ten circles and glue them in a strip, alternating: five down, five up. Now I need to glue the strip into a ring, which will serve as the basis for our toy.
Now I'm going to work on the top and bottom covers. I need to glue them to the base in exactly the same way. And now it's time for the loop, from which the toy will be hung.
Flashlight toy
I'll start by taking two sheets of paper of different colors. For example, white and red. Next, I cut out two rectangles. White will be 100 by 180. Red will be 120 by 180.
I'll start with red. Fold it in half and make cuts so that there is room around the edges. We do white in the same way as red.
Star
To do this, I need to prepare 10 by 10 squares. First, I need to fold twice, and then fold diagonally. After that, I need to make cuts and fold into the corners. Next, glue the corner in the center.
We repeat the procedure with the second sheet of paper. Then we glue the two halves together.
Charming ball
For this venture, I needed eight circles. Then I cut out two more circles, which should be half the size of the previous ones.
I folded each circle in half, and then in half again. Now you need to glue four large circles into one small one. Next, you need to correctly position the quarters. We straighten the pockets that have turned out. Now you just need to make the other half of the ball as well. I just need to glue the two halves and the ball is ready!
Candles
You need to prepare two strips of paper approximately 20 millimeters wide and 30 centimeters long. I also need red and yellow paper to make the "flame".
I glue the ends of the strips at right angles.
I fold the candle body out of strips so that they overlap.
I cut out the flame of the candle and glue it to the body of the candle.
Now you need to bend all the piles in half and collect snowflakes into a crystal. I tied the end of the workpiece with a fishing line. I have eight more to do. This is not an easy job, I can tell you.
One pack of strips needs to be bent and secured with fishing line, but already along the outer edge. It should be a circle.
I fasten all the crystals with hot glue to the prepared circle. I almost forgot. And four more blanks must be inserted in the intervals between the first.
I also fasten the side parts of the crystals.
Sprinkle with sparkles and the openwork snowflake is ready.
Do you think that's all? But no! Finally, I left the most interesting thing - a voluminous snowflake. Don't worry, it's very easy to do.
Option 1 volumetric snowflake
I draw a sheet of colored paper into rectangles measuring 5 by 6 centimeters. Next, we do it with white paper, but already rectangles measuring 3 by 4 centimeters.
After that, I take rectangles 3 by 4 and also twist the icicles and glue them onto a blank with large icicles. I glue a small circle with sequins and glue in the middle of the resulting workpiece.
Option 2 volumetric snowflakes
For this venture, I need:
- Glue.
- Scissors, stapler.
- Stationery.
- Paper.
- I warn you right away that this snowflake is much more difficult to make than the previous one.
First, I'll prepare a stencil. For the stencil, we need cardboard. We draw six lines on it at right angles. The lines should be 1 cm apart.
Now we have to bend six album sheets diagonally and make cuts along the stencil. I should have 6 triangles with cuts running parallel to each other.
After that I take one of the triangles and unfold it. That is, I should get a square in which even smaller squares are located. You need to start from the center. I turn the corners of the central square to the center. I glue it on. I turn it over to the other side and do the same as with the central square. As a result, I should get an icicle.
There is little left to do. Tie all my icicles together and our snowflake is ready.
Option 3 volumetric snowflakes
For this option I need:
- A4 paper.
- Threads.
- Needle.
- Red shred.
- Stationery.
On a sheet of paper I draw four circles, which must be of the same diameter. Cut out the circles and outline eight equal parts. I make cuts along the outlined lines towards the center. After that, I bend the tip of each such "petal" and glue it.
I do all the same manipulations with the rest of the circles and sew. The red patch is needed in order to make the product complete. Cut out a circle from a patch and glue it.
Having rummaged, again on the Internet, I came across another version of a voluminous snowflake. This snowflake is made from strips of paper. So, I'm going to cut the paper into strips. The strips should be five millimeters long and 21 centimeters long.
The snowflake consists of two halves. That is, 10 strips are needed for one half. I glue the first two strips, so that I get a cross. Then I glue on two more strips.
Next, I pass two strips through the beam and glue them. There should be two free strips left. After that, I also make a soul mate. I fasten the halves with free strips and intertwine them with each other.

Christmas paper crafts
DIY volumetric paper snowflake
Such a voluminous snowflake made of paper is a wonderful New Year's decoration for any interior. A paper snowflake will surely delight your children, relatives and guests.
For a large snowflake, use only thick paper, and also add more lines.
A snowflake can be made of any other color of paper - it all depends on the color of your New Year's decor. You can also use wrapping paper.
Materials, necessary for making paper snowflakes:
six squares, cut from paper, preferably white and uniform in size.
Any paper is suitable for making snowflakes. The side of each square cut from paper can be from 10 to 25 cm.
Instruments:
- ruler;
- simple pencil;
- scissors;
- stapler.
A method of making a volumetric snowflake from paper:
1. Bend each of the six squares diagonally in half. We make markings on each of them from three parallel lines. The segments must be the same in width. We draw lines with a simple pencil (in the photo they are drawn in red only so that they can be better seen). Then we cut the outlined lines with scissors, starting from the edge and not reaching a little bit (leaving a couple of millimeters) to the middle.
2. Now open the square folded diagonally and place it face up in front of you.
4. Then turn the snowflake to the other side and connect the next two strips closest to the center, fasten them with a stapler.
5. We continue to turn over the snowflake and fasten the remaining strips with a stapler.
6. Do the same with the five remaining squares of paper. Then we connect the three parts of the snowflake with a stapler together in the middle. Do the same with the remaining three pieces of the snowflake.
7. Now connect these two large parts of the snowflake to each other.
8. In the places of contact of each individual part of the snowflake, we also fasten it with a stapler. This is necessary in order for the snowflake to keep its shape.
9. Now we decorate the snowflake according to our own taste, for example, you can stick sequins, sparkles.
That's all! Christmas decoration is ready! A snowflake can be hung on a tree, window, wall ...
Another version of the snowflake... It is made from two sheets of plain or thicker paper.
1-2. First, bend the sheets as shown.
3. Cut out the check mark at the resulting triangle.
4. Make cuts on the remaining checkmark, but do not cut through to the end, otherwise the snowflake will burst.
5. Bend the rays to make the snowflake three-dimensional.
6. Bend each middle ray on all four petals of the snowflake inward and glue it in the center.
7. Repeat operations 1-5 with the second sheet of paper. Then we put it under the first half of the snowflake, so that the lower rays are between the upper ones. Then we bend it as in step 6, but we glue the rays not in the center, but in the places where the rays diverge near the upper snowflake.
Snowflake made from stripes of paper
See the sequence of making snowflakes in the photo master class:
Prepare two pieces of snowflake, each of which is from 6 strips of paper, then connect them, as in the photo
We glue the strips, as in the photo, and fix them with paper clips until they dry completely
4.
We made two "half snowflakes": 
We fold them with their backs to each other.
We connect with glue 
We fix with paper clips, wait for drying: 
This is how the joints of the ends of the strips look like: 
And again, all in one photo:
A more complex version of a snowflake made from stripes:
Balls imitating cones from strips of colored cardboard of different lengths folded accordion
You can still make such snowflakes from old magazines.
master class from Tiffany Lin
Tiffany marked out one-inch petals for future snowflakes. We can focus on two centimeters, for example.
In total, 140 strips need to be cut. Of these: leave 20 strips along the length of the page, cut the next 40 by 1 cm, cut the next 40 by 2 cm, and cut the last 40 by 3 cm shorter. Be guided by the photo above.
Fold each petal using 5 strips of each size. We take the longest strips, for the central ray of the snowflake, once, the rest twice (once on each side).
We glue and place under the press during gluing.
For reliability, you can temporarily tie the tip of the petal.
Additionally, we cut out more strips for the central part of the future snowflake.
We also glue this ring and fix it for successful glue setting.
When the petals are glued, we process the end of the workpiece with a glue gun.
You don't need to regret the glue! We process it well.
Then we glue the petal blank to the center ring.
We do this with four petals, glue them so that we get a cross.
Then we glue the remaining petals. This method allows all workpieces to be glued symmetrically.
After that, we glue the petals together so that the snowflake does not fall apart.
Decorate the snowflake with sparkles. 
Similarly, you can make such snowflakes.
Birds of happiness for your home:
Fold the paper in half and cut it out as in the photo on the left: Then unfold the wings and attach them to the bird's body. Glue the halves of the body.

- New Year's decoration from multi-colored threads. To prepare it, wrap the bent wire with a strong thread and glue it. Then we wind several more colors of knitting threads along the diameter. The shape of the decoration can vary depending on the desire: from an ordinary circle to the shape of a Christmas tree or a star.
- Snowflakes with wire beads. For this decoration, we put several wires in the shape of a snowflake, prick beads on them and glue them together.
- Snowflakes made from cotton swabs. We make a ball from cotton wool or a cotton pad, roll it in glue and salt and attach cotton swabs. You can take a regular ribbon for a snowflake, pinning it to the ball with a pin.
- New Year's decoration from bottles. First, you need to clear the bottle of excess labels. You can paint the bottle in any chosen color with aerosol paint, then dry it thoroughly and roll it in glue and salt. Decorations can be supplemented with cones, ribbons and other decorative elements.

Christmas decorations: DIY snowflakes
The most popular and easiest to prepare is decorating the interior with do-it-yourself snowflakes from plain paper.
- To make them, you only need two things: scissors and thin sheets of paper of the desired size.
- You can use sturdier paper, but this makes it much more difficult to cut when folded. If a child takes part in the manufacture of the craft, it will be beyond his ability to cut a snowflake.
- Ordinary napkins in different colors and thin fabrics can also become an alternative to thin paper. To make any snowflakes, a sheet of paper is usually folded in the same way, they differ only in the shape of the cut at the final stage.
How to fold a sheet of paper for snowflakes:
- Fold a sheet of paper into a triangle shape, cut off the excess edges with scissors. In expanded form, the sheet should be in the form of a square, if it is so initially - this stage is skipped.
- The resulting triangle is folded into an even smaller one at the far corners.
- Once again, fold the triangle into an even smaller one.
- We make a blank out of a triangle, as in the photo. Cut off the excess edges.
- On the resulting blank, draw outlines with the pattern of snowflakes presented below. We make a clipping along the drawn lines and unfold the already finished snowflake.

DIY Christmas decorations on the windows
You can also create a New Year's mood using the popular method - decorating windows for the style of the holiday. In addition to the usual garlands hung on the windows, there are many simple and affordable decoration options. Let's take a look at some of them.
Paper cut snowflakes decoration
Schemes and stages of work on creating snowflakes are provided above. To glue a paper snowflake on the window, you need to lightly soap it from the side of the attachment, straighten all its edges and attach it to the glass.
You can form various compositions from snowflakes, for example, a Christmas tree:
Decorating windows with toothpaste and soap
To do this, we need an ordinary toothpaste and a piece of foam rubber, rolled into a tube and sealed with tape. We dip the toothpaste into the foam rubber and smear it on a glass or mirror. You can draw anything from Christmas tree branches to animals.
You can come up with drawings yourself or buy ready-made or paper-cut stencils. After the paste has dried, make the contours of the image clear with a pencil.
Another method of decorating windows with toothpaste is snowflakes in negative image... To do this, glue a snowflake cut out of paper on the window and wait until it dries. In a container, we dilute the toothpaste with water and use a toothbrush to spray it on the glass near the snowflake. After drying, remove the snowflake from the window.
Drawings on the window made with ordinary soap... This requires a little imagination, desire and creative inspiration.
Window decoration with Christmas toys and ribbons
We attach the balls to the window to the desired length using threads or ready-made tapes. The length, number, shape of the balls can vary depending on your imagination and wishes.
Decorating with New Year's drawings using ready-made stencils
- Pour the purchased blank with a layer of PVA glue
- We are waiting for it to dry a little
- We remove and cling wet to the window
Volumetric snowflakes can be made using purchased volumetric paint.
DIY Christmas decorations for windows: stencils
You can also decorate the window using stencils printed on A4. We cut out the finished images with scissors and glue them on the window, moistened with soap or PVA glue.
