It's time to remember your creative ambitions and do something with your own hands to decorate your home before the holiday. This activity also cheers you up.

And there are also ideas for the use of junk material, which are especially pleasant to put into practice. Do you think an ordinary plastic container can become the basis for a New Year's hand-made? Maybe, and how! An example of this is the experience of the author of a YouTube channel Little crafts lover.

New Year's gift wrapping from a plastic bottle

Ordinary plastic containers can be the basis for original packaging, in which you can put sweets or a small gift.

Christmas decor from plastic bottles — Use a regular lemonade bottle or milk container. Cut the neck to a height of about 15 cm

Cover the bottle with a nylon or knitted flesh-colored sock

The cut edges of the sock need to be glued inside the bottle and then put in an insert-strip of paper to hide the gluing points

From the scraps of the same sock, you need to make a small ball nose stuffed with cotton wool or padding polyester, and glue it to the workpiece with hot glue

White beard can be cut from faux fur, soft white microfiber or padding polyester

You need toy eyes. They can be replaced with colored buttons. And for the cap, the author used a microfiber cloth. These are sold in any department of household goods.

Scraps of microfiber and a sock will be used to make handles. All parts, like the cap, are glued together with a glue gun. Nothing needs to be sewn, so if you are not very friendly with a needle and thread, it does not matter

To decorate the New Year's gnome, use coniferous twigs, Christmas decorations, beads and feathers

As a result, you will receive a festive packaging that can be filled with sweets and presented to your child.

Such a gnome, one or as many as seven, can be placed under the tree and filled with gifts

Another craft for the New Year's interior will delight you with the process itself. Only this time you need to prepare a small LED candle and velcro rhinestones. All this can be bought in Fix Price stores.

Trim the neck of the bottle again and work the sharp edge on a warm iron. When heated, the plastic deforms a little and the edge becomes rounded

Stick the rhinestones on the bottle with a distance of 2-3 centimeters

Cut the gaps between the strips of rhinestones with a sharp clerical knife Cut the gaps between the strips of rhinestones with a sharp clerical knife — Cut the spaces between the strips of rhinestones with a sharp clerical knife

Decorate the bottom of the bottle with a strip of shiny paper, foil, or other material. You can use braid, lace, in a word, whatever, in your opinion, is suitable for decoration

The LED candle should be placed on the bottom of the cut bottle. For this, a suitable hole is cut in the bottom, and the candle is glued in so that there is free access to the switch.

You need to make a cap for a flashlight from paper or foil. To do this, cut out a circle, then make an incision in it to the center and fold the cap. You can fix it with hot glue or a stapler.

Decorate the cap of the flashlight with a Christmas toy, a sprig of pine needles and beads

The flashlight will create a romantic atmosphere and help to decorate the New Year's table
