What could be better than making New Year's crafts with your own hands? Only making crafts together with children! The most important New Year's character can be made from absolutely simple and affordable materials, and very little effort and skill is required to create it.

Roll is not only sushi

An original paper Santa Claus can even be made from a sheet of thick red cardboard rolled into a roll. But the simplest material for making a New Year's figurine is a cardboard roll from toilet paper or paper towels.

Manufacturing stages:

  1. A sheet of red colored paper should be glued on top of the roller, and then the lower and upper edges of the cylinder should be folded in different directions as shown in Figures 1-6.
  2. A white triangle should be placed on the top of the video - this is where the face of Santa Claus will be.
  3. Using a black marker, draw boots on the lower corners of the cone and a belt around the cylinder.
  4. Draw the character's face. Secure a loop between the upper corners of the cylinder to hang the toy on the Christmas tree.


Paper tricks

Fans of the popular origami technique can use various schemes for making paper crafts. It should be noted that the first version of the toy can be made from simple one-sided red colored paper, while the original craft from the second diagram will require independent coloring of a white sheet, taking into account the details indicated on the diagram.


Santa Claus made from cones

A minimal amount of effort and time will be required to make Santa Claus from a paper cone. This type of craft is perfect for a creative activity in kindergarten or for a pleasant pre-New Year's leisure activity. Santa Claus can be made from a ready-made printed template or made independently.

For this you will need:

  • 1 sheet of white paper;
  • 1 sheet of red colored paper;
  • glue;
  • stapler;
  • scissors;
  • a bead or small pompom in gold or white.

Progress:

  1. Draw a circle on a piece of red paper. The desired height of the future figure should be equal to the radius of the circle.
  2. Cut a circle out of red paper, fold it in half, roll it into a cone and secure the edges of the shape with glue or a stapler.
  3. From a sheet of white paper, cut out an oval shape with wavy edges. Using the slot in the upper part of the oval, secure the part to the cone.
  4. Draw the character’s face on the oval, glue on a red nose and white mustache. Add a bead or pompom to the finished figurine at the end of the cone.


Santa Claus - box

A figurine of Santa Claus under a decorated Christmas tree is a traditional element of New Year's celebrations. An unusual Santa Claus, made in the form of a surprise box, will help diversify the festive interior, as well as pleasantly surprise everyone who looks under the tree in search of gifts and sweets. Even one piece of candy or a small souvenir hidden inside the box will bring joy and a sense of celebration to the child who finds it.

Crafts using ready-made templates and stencils

The main New Year's character made by children for their loved ones will become the most expensive and desired gift. To make these, just print the templates on thick paper. A large selection of options will allow you to make several different crafts, which will undoubtedly be useful for sharing or in a large company.

Santa Claus is the main fairy-tale character at the New Year holiday, the East Slavic version of the Christmas giver. Initially in Slavic mythology - the personification of winter frosts. The creation of the canonical image of Father Frost as an obligatory character of the New Year - and not Christmas - holiday occurred in Soviet times and dates back to the late 1930s, when, after several years of prohibition, the Christmas tree was allowed again.
Santa Claus is depicted as an old man in a colored fur coat - blue, dark blue, red or white, with a long white beard and a staff in his hand, wearing felt boots. Rides three horses. Inseparable from his granddaughter Snegurochka, usually depicted in a white, silver or blue fur coat.
We will make a symbol of the New Year in a somewhat unusual form - it will be a head with a beard.

He is also kind

Full of beard,
He's in a hurry to come to us
Now for the holiday
Who is this? ... (Father Frost)

Good afternoon, we again continue to make crafts in the form of Santa Claus and in this article I have collected those that are made of paper. Here you will find great ideas for crafts for kindergarten classes, or for creativity lessons at school. You can make Santa Claus out of paper in a variety of ways. Now you will see all the variety of children's crafts with this New Year's character - both flat applications and voluminous convex applications. As well as crafts based on toilet paper rolls and cardboard cones.

Santa Claus made of paper.

Simple crafts

for babies

A simple application in kindergarten can be made in the form of a New Year's greeting card.

Take a sheet of red cardboard. We bend it in half to form a postcard. This will be the basis of our children's craft.

Now on the front front side we create an applique of Santa Claus's face. Cut it out pink paper oval, truncated along the side edges - this will be the face. Cut it out charcoal mustache shape, also made of white paper. And small ones clouds of white eyebrows, also with a wavy edge. Nose cut out pink paper of a darker shade than the face.

And the child’s task is to assemble this puzzle according to the teacher’s model, with the correct order: first the face, then the fur of the hat, mustache, and lastly the eyes and nose. A quick and simple application for the younger group of kindergarten.

Here's another simple job for the younger group of kindergarten. Here the basis of Santa Claus is a TRIANGLE of red cardboard. And all the details fit within this triangle - the beard, the mustache, and the edging of the hat.

And based on the triangle, you can make this original Santa Claus craft, which uses a paper confectionery napkin with an openwork patterned edge. A very beautiful Santa Claus is made from paper. You can buy napkins in the hardware department of the store.

The body shape of Santa Claus made of paper can be any. For example, from two circles - like a slave. Beautiful, simple and similar. Possibly with a mustache, or without a mustache. You can have a pompom on your hat, or you can have a pompom on your nose.

You can find templates for such crafts in our new article

You yourself are free to give any shape to the body of Santa Claus. He will still be recognizable. Because he is red and has a beard.

And even if you want to add any accessories to the image of Santa Claus, this will still not prevent him from being a recognizable symbol of the New Year. Wonder as much as you want. Let your own version of Santa Claus appear, he also likes jokes.


VOLUMETRIC applique

with Santa Claus made of paper.

And here we see techniques that help to create a voluminous layered effect of paper appliqué in the form of Santa Claus.

The first way is to make the beard two-layered, two-tiered. We cut the bottom layer longer, the top layer of the beard shorter. When gluing, we apply glue only to the upper part of the beard so that the layer sticks out freely towards the top. We also make the hat with a fold forward. And a pompom for a hat can be made voluminous from thread or cotton wool, or a lump of crepe paper.


You can fold origami in the form of Santa Claus. The paper fold also creates a volume effect.

The second way is to add volume to Santa Claus's beard using paper curls. We cut white paper into strips of slightly different lengths. We glue the strips onto the edges of the chin of Santa Claus's face, let the glue dry and then screw each strip onto a pencil.

The third way is to create beard volume using a paper CUPcake MIN. We do not coat the corrugated edge of the cupcake tin with glue (only the middle) and it sticks up from the applique, creating volume.

You can also make a fan from a narrow strip of paper and unfold it into a circle. And based on this round fan, make a three-dimensional application of Santa Claus.

The fourth way is to put a layer applique, with layers of stumps. We cut out the applique elements from thick paper and so that the parts RISE and FLOAT ABOVE the cardboard sheet, we use PADS. Thick layers between the applique details and the background. That is, we don’t glue the applique onto the background cardboard - we glue only the layers of stumps, and then we spread the glue only on these stumps and put the applique parts on them. And she hangs in the air.

Spacer layers can be made... firstly, made of thick packaging cardboard(TV box, cardboard egg cassette).

Or the layers can become SPRINGS made of paper(remember in childhood we all wove such an accordion-spring out of two strips of paper). So, short accordion-springs can become stumps on which our applique will rise.

The fifth way to add volume to your paper Santa Claus is to make crafts using the postcard technique with internal volume. Here in the photo below we see a beautiful craft Santa Claus is breaking dancing.

Here we bend the white cardboard in half. And we make cuts across the fold line (perpendicular to the fold line of the card, 2 cm from its edge). The depth of the incision can be any (in the photo below it is 2 cm). The notched part of the postcard is pressed inward with a finger - protruding this fold with a square bench into the postcard. And now to this bench we will glue the “Frosty Fest” PLATE on which Santa Claus stands, upside down.

As a result, it turns out that the body of Santa Claus is hanging in the air. To further give the body stability, you can also stick a strip of paper (folded in the form of a rectangular frame) on the back (behind its belly) - this way it will also be fixed on top.

Here's another idea for a folding card with Santa Claus. I have already described how to do it in detail step by step in the article, so here I will only give a diagram of the templates.

And here is another folding craft in the form of Santa Claus. Also an interesting idea for activities in kindergarten.

CONE paper applique

in the form of SANTA CLAUS.

If you make a TRIANGULAR DOT in a flat circle in the form of a sector (like a piece of pie) ... and then bend this sector and glue it inside (so that the edges of the sector meet into one line of the gluing seam) - then we get a conical part. Convex like a mushroom cap...
Based on this principle of DARTING on a flat circle, we create a convex Santa Claus craft from plain paper. Like this...

But here is a large diagram for this craft - it is in A4 format - you can immediately print it and it will appear correctly in full size on the sheet coming out of your printer. The dart is painted over on the template with a gray background; we bend it along the edges and bring the fold lines closer together. Or you can make a cut along one side of the sector and glue the entire gray sector inside - overlapping edge to edge.


Complex applique

With Santa Claus

You can make a large-scale paper applique in terms of the number of elements - with Santa Claus, reindeer, sleigh, snowmen, city, and other New Year's paraphernalia.

Such complex applications with many elements are best done as a group craft in kindergarten. Each child completes only one element of the applique - and then at the end of the lesson, all the characters and paraphernalia are combined into a large common applique - on a huge sheet of drawing paper.

And in the older group, you can give children a craft task with several appliqué elements, but combined within one New Year's wreath. How this was done is shown in the photo below.



Volumetric Santa Claus made of paper

In the form of a box.

Here is a diagram of the box which, when assembled, forms a figure of Santa Claus. An excellent craft - it’s clear how to draw, what to bend and what to glue. It's easy and quick to make Santa Claus based on a thick sheet of paper.

Three drawings

FOR Santa Claus' SLEED.

Below I want to show another simple craft - a sleigh for Santa Claus. Their assembly principle is simple - there is a bottom (diagram below) and the sides of the sleigh, the back and the footrest are thrown in four directions from the bottom.

Here is another diagram - a little different - but there is nothing complicated here either. Drew, cut out, bent under a ruler(we press an ordinary school ruler firmly against the fold line, and lift the sheet of paper - the fold turns out even, like on factory crafts).

You can make the elements of the sleigh CARVED - that is, make slits in the side parts above the runners of the sleigh - openwork or straight, like on the Soviet sleighs from childhood.

Santa Claus made of paper

Based on PLATE.

Disposable paper plates can be the source of many crafts. And Santa Claus is no exception to this creative series of plate designs. The white round plate, by its very shape, suggests a craft in the form of Santa Claus.

You are free to choose the design of this craft and materials at your discretion. Use whatever comes to mind - cotton pads, paper napkins, paper shavings.

On the basis of a white plate, you can use any volumetric techniques that we use from paper. Everything that this article talked about above can be done on the basis of a plate.

Volumetric crafts

Father Frost

Made from paper and cardboard.

Now let's see what three-dimensional crafts can be made in the form of Santa Claus from paper and cardboard. You can make a ring-clip for a bag of candies in the shape of Santa Claus (as in the left photo below). We wrap the candies in a napkin and pull the ends of the knot through a hair elastic to which a cardboard applique of Santa Claus's head is glued.

You can make a Santa Claus craft with rope arms and legs from a round Christmas ball (or a foam ball), as in the right photo below.

You can make a Santa Claus craft out of paper in the form of balls assembled from strips of colored paper. In the article, I give a detailed master class on how to simply assemble such a ball. If you make two paper balls, a larger one and a smaller one, you can use them to make the head and torso of Santa Claus.

You can cut out Santa Claus from a paper accordion fan. Fold a strip of paper into a fan shape. We lay it out again evenly on the table, mark with a pencil the area of ​​​​the arms and hats, make a rounding of the body of Santa Claus - and cut off these outlines with scissors. We reassemble the accordion along the old fold lines. And use a hole punch to make a hole in the middle. We insert a cocktail straw into it. And we decorate the silhouette of the craft - adding to it a round face made of pink paper, a beard and a fur hat made of white cotton wool.

You can also make a three-dimensional craft based on a cardboard cone. We make a semicircle out of red cardboard (use a large plate). And we roll this semicircle into a cone-bag. We fasten the edges of the cone with a stapler or put it on double-sided tape (the glue will simply hold the cone weakly, there is a risk that the cardboard cone, under the pressure of compression, will tend to unclench).

You can design the Santa Claus craft itself based on the outline in different designs - a smooth beard made of paper, a voluminous beard made of paper twists, fluffy cotton wool, white threads cut with scissors, or anything else.

You can decorate this craft based on a cardboard cone with additional materials and elements - hands made of fluffy wire with mittens made of velvet paper or felt, a Christmas tree made of paper or cardboard.

White cotton can turn any red object into Santa Claus. A toilet paper roll or plastic plate can easily turn into the beloved Santa Claus of all children.

You can also make an applique of Santa Claus using the QUILLING technique - from rolled paper (as in the photo below).

Christmas decoration

Father Frost

Made from paper and cardboard.

I also want to show interesting options for decorating your home for the New Year in the style of Santa Claus.

You can cut out a large applique for a window from colored paper.

Using the same principle, you can paste the silhouette of Santa Claus's head into the refrigerator door and it will turn out that he is looking out from his freezer. You can find colored cardboard of this format in specialized stationery stores. Or paint large sheets of cardboard from a large box (from a refrigerator, for example) with gouache yourself.

And here is an option where a large application of Santa Claus is made from paper on the door. This is an original and beautiful idea to decorate the door of an office or children's room for the New Year.

Here are some interesting and simple ideas on how to make a Santa Claus craft from paper or cardboard with your own hands.

Happy New Year's creativity.

Cotton pads are an excellent material for applications. Discs are used entirely or only half. Santa Claus made from cotton pads is a very easy applique that even kids can make. Especially if they get a little help with scissors. But they will definitely enjoy making crafts with cotton pads, since this material is pleasant to the touch and comfortable.

What will you need for the application?

  • 10 cotton pads or their halves;
  • Green cardboard;
  • Red and pink colored paper;
  • White paper;
  • Ready-made eyes;
  • Scissors, ruler, pencil, glue.

If you don’t have ready-made moving eyes, you can make them from white and black paper. Or draw with a black felt-tip pen. The glue can be different, I used a glue stick, but for kids it may be easier to apply PVA with a brush or squeeze it out of a small tube.

Santa Claus made from cotton pads step by step?

You need to cut out a semicircle from red paper, a strip from pink paper, and a very thin strip from white paper. The length of all parts must be the same. You will also need a red circle - a nose. Any exact dimensions are not important here. Everything is approximate, taking into account the size of your application.

The applique parts are ready, it's time to put them together. First, you can mark all the places without glue. Lay out all the paper parts, determine their location so that they will fit later. Especially the red cap.

You need to glue the red semicircle first, then the pink stripe. Glue a white stripe on top.

That's it, Santa Claus and cotton pads are ready, this is a beautiful New Year's application and an interesting creative activity.
