Companionable snowmen
You will need: tangerines, bamboo skewers, toothpicks, clove buds, Superglue or Moment glue and fantasy.
What to do:
- Select tangerines by size - from largest to smallest.
- Slip three fruits onto the skewer - the base of the snowman is ready.
- Color the face with clove buds.
- Insert two skewers into the middle tangerine - these are the future handles.
- Draw and cut out small mittens from bright colored paper; make them double. Glue the mittens together and slide them over the pen skewers.
- Of course, the snowman got to you through the snow on skis - cut two skis out of colored cardboard, drip a little glue and put the snowman on them.
- On the head of a snowman, you can make a fun cap, a boater hat or knit a small sports cap out of colored paper.
All is ready! You can make candy toys based on the number of family members or guests. An orange group of snowmen will decorate the family table.
Christmas composition
The aromas of the New Year cannot be confused with anything. Supplement them with fruits, nuts, candy and spices.
Place some fruits and nuts on a flat dish. Tie a few cinnamon sticks together with thick linen thread. Find a suitable place for them on the platter. Stick the clove buds into the tangerines. For "New Year", put a cone or Christmas tree toy next to the fruit.
You can use tangerines, gingerbread cookies or your favorite pastries, cinnamon sticks and a spruce leg for compositions.
Most likely, such decor will not last long on the table, but that's what the holiday is for!
Tangerine herringbone
Making a Christmas tree will require some experience and additional materials from you.
For manufacturing, you need: a cone-base made of cardboard or foam, a stapler, toothpicks, green or colored ribbons, green paper, spruce branches.
Manufacturing:
- First, you need to prepare a cone for the tree. Handicraft stores sell pre-made foam cones. The easiest and cheapest way is to make it from corrugated cardboard. Fold in the desired cone. Secure it with a stapler or glue it together.
- Choose the size of medium-sized elastic tangerines.
- Pierce the tangerines with toothpicks and, sticking into the cone, form the first tier of the tree.
- The next tiers of fruit are staggered.
- You can pre-tie each fruit with a beautiful ribbon.
- Spruce twigs can be inserted between the tiers. You can imitate sheets of thick green fabric or colored paper.
A creative and noble Christmas tree is ready to decorate the festive table!
Christmas tree decorations
Classics of the genre - tangerine balls on the tree.
You will need bindings from Christmas balls; you may be keeping these from crashed toys. You can simply remove from the whole and stick them into tangerine balls. Tie some pretty ribbons and hang them on the tree.
Everyone likes tangerine balls: adults were children too.
Christmas wreath
A Christmas wreath can be both a gift and a decorative decoration.
Wreath - a cute gift
You will need for one wreath: 6-8 fruits, cellophane wrapping paper (as for flower bouquets), bright ribbons, cinnamon sticks, small candies.
Manufacturing:
- Tangerines are laid out on cellophane paper 20-30 cm wide. Leave a distance between fruits.
- Roll the cellophane with tangerines into a tube. Tie each segment with a tape. It turned out to be such a "tangerine sausage".
- You can tie mini-candies, cinnamon sticks, spruce twigs to the ribbon - whatever your heart desires.
- A New Year's card with the name (to whom the gift is intended) and wishes are attached to one of the ribbons.
Decorative wreath
You will need: thick flexible wire, thin wire, tangerines, spruce paws or thuja branches (any greenery, you can also artificial), Christmas tree toys, cones.
Manufacturing
- Make a frame from a thick wire.
- Using a thin wire, attach the green needles to it.
- To attach the tangerines to the frame, you need to carefully thread a thin wire under the skin and fasten it to the frame. Or use a skewer and glue gun.
- Everything else is your imagination and the availability of materials at hand. Bright ribbons, cones, toys and sweets.
Christmas basket or bouquet
A tangerine bouquet is a touching gift for friends.
Required:
- fruits - 15-19 pcs.;
- spruce or fir paws - 2 pcs.;
- skewers for kebabs 30 cm long;
- floristic tape or electrical tape;
- wrapping kraft paper with decor;
- satin ribbon;
- secateurs.
Manufacturing:
- Separate palm-sized branches from a spruce or fir leg with a pruner.
- Clean the base of each branch of needles and attach to the skewers with electrical tape or floral tape.
- Put each tangerine on a skewer, trying not to pierce it to the end. Caution - do not injure your hands!
- Collect a bouquet of twigs and tangerines. Secure it with duct tape. Trim the skewers with a pruner to make it compact and neat. You will need an assistant - it is inconvenient and difficult to hold and fasten the structure alone.
- Packing: cut kraft paper into 5 squares with a side of 40-45 cm (depending on the size of the bouquet). It is necessary to attach each square to the bouquet, moving in a circle. At the end, tie it with a beautiful ribbon.
With a New Year's basket, everything is simple - put the fruits in your favorite decorative basket, decorate with fir branches and toys.
Involve household members in pleasant work: after all, the New Year is a family holiday! Rejoice yourself and give each other gifts!
