New Year's wreath

A wonderful Christmas decoration( gift) is a pine wreath adorned with a red or golden ribbon, cones and Christmas-tree toys. To produce it, you will first need pine branches and fir cones, which must first be dipped in a saturated salt solution for several hours, after which everything should be dried well. Twigs twisted into a wreath are decorated with cones, toys and artificial snow, which is easily obtained by grinding a white foam on a grater. The branches are well lubricated with glue, so that specially adorned ornaments are held firmly on them.

Handmade toy Goat( Sheep)

As the symbol and mistress of the next year will be Goat( Sheep), we suggest you make a toy of this cute animal with your own hands. To make it, you will need a small amount of cotton wool, PVA glue, some newsprint, colorful pieces of felt or colored paper, roll of paint tape, twigs of trees or wooden( cotton wool) sticks. Felt paper is best glued with a sticky pencil.

1. Make a ball out of newsprint. To obtain a more even surface of the workpiece, evenly wrap the ball with a layer of paint tape.
2. Scissors make four holes in which you can fix the legs of a goat.
3. Fill a small amount of PVA glue into the holes made and insert sticks or twigs of equal length into them. Thus, you will attach a leg to the sheep.
4. For the formation of its wonderful coat, roll small cotton balls and then glue all of them onto a double-sided scotch. Stick the balls as close as possible to make the toy fluffy.
5. After the preparation of the cotton wool coat of the sheep is ready, it is necessary to glue the front of the pre-made mint of lamb prepared from felt( colored paper) carefully.
6. Gather the resulting blank onto a paper ball with legs. The toy is ready.

But suppose you decided to make a toy in another way. Then follow these instructions:

• The pompon of white or gray yarn will now be used as a fur coat. The pom-pon is made easily. You will need scissors, cardboard and wool threads of the right color:
• Two rings of the same diameter are cut from the cardboard, which should be attached to each other.
• These rings are then tightly wrapped around the circle with woolen threads.
• After the required amount of yarn is wound, carefully cut the threads with scissors.
• Spread the cardboard circles and in the center, tie the yarn with a short thread.
• The pompon is ready, it remains only to fluff it.
• From the bottom of the pompon, glue four cotton buds( legs).
