New Year Ideas

Waiting for a miracle is a tedious matter; it is better to create it yourself. What to do? Imagine yourself as a magician, look around, collect unpretentious objects and create something spiritual, shimmering, warm and extraordinary. It will take some free time.

“Christmas balls with fabric applique”. For the Christmas tree to become stylish and original, it is not necessary to purchase expensive toys. You can create an exclusive design using cheap plastic balls without a pattern. From the old scarf or a beautiful piece of fabric, cut the same motifs and stick on the surface of the balls.
"Christmas tree toy made of orange." It will take a few oranges, a beautiful elegant ribbon, a nice rope, a couple of cinnamon sticks. Cut the oranges into slices and send to dry in the oven. Tie a stick of cinnamon with a rope and tie it to a slice of orange. Make a loop from above. The final touch is a bow tied to a loop.

Amazing snowflake

It's hard to imagine a New Year holiday without a dozen perky snowflakes.

Scissors trim the ends of the toothpicks. Cut a paper cutter from one edge of the toothpick to make a small cut in the middle. It will turn out the main tool.
Make some blanks from paper. The width of the strip in the region of three millimeters. The length is equal to the length of the sheet.
Create a spiral. Gently insert the edge of the paper strip into the slot on the toothpick and twist it into a spiral. Twist the tool, not paper. Make sure that the spiral is as smooth as possible. Remove the spiral and lay on the table.
Spread the edge of the strip twisted into a spiral, glue and press it to the spiral. Gently press the end. Get a drop with a spiral inside. To make such elements as much as possible.
The shape of the elements can be changed. During bonding, squeeze the element with your fingers, giving a certain shape. This creates not only circles, but droplets and eyes.
Having prepared the necessary number of elements, proceed to the formation of snowflakes. Create a pattern from individual elements by fastening with a drop of glue. It will turn out an amazingly beautiful snowflake.

Perhaps my ideas for the New Year will seem too simple. If everything is done correctly, the result will be very beautiful, with minimal time and money.
