When the phrase "decorations on windows from paper" is heard, it immediately comes to mind snowflakes on the windows, which we all cut out and glued in our childhood. In this there is nothing complicated, so almost everyone did. But you can come up with something new, for example, create a New Year's decor directly on the windowsill. To implement this idea, we need white cardboard. From it, you need to cut out figurative images, such as a Christmas tree, deer, hares, and so on, and glue together so that a strip of full-length window sill appears. Then you should make the second same strip, only it is desirable with other drawings. Now create a "box" of these bands: the outer and inner length of the windowsill is our material, and on the sides of the cardboard width of about 10-15 cm and a small height. Inside this "box" along the entire length of the scenery we place a garland, best if it is white, gold and blue. Turn it on and put out the light. It turns out that decorations on paper windows can easily create an atmosphere of magic and fairy tales.

You can come up with a very complex magic composition with various openwork elements, turning the usual window into a whole magical world.

From paper, you can make a lot of interesting ideas, countless numbers, so it remains only to take the scissors and create quickly.

Symmetrical Christmas tree

The first thing that symbolizes the New Year is, of course, the Christmas tree. In addition to the main one, which is usually located in the main room, you can arrange it in various forms, in the form of candles for example, and you can make it yourself. There are so many different ways to make a small Christmas tree. You can make a toy-tree of the most ordinary cardboard, so as to hang on the main green beauty.

First of all, we draw and cut out the most primitive Christmas tree, the one we used to paint from childhood. It is very simple, it is important only to observe symmetry. Next, on the other sheet, we circle and cut out exactly the same one. Our workpieces are bent in half vertically and simply glued together by centers between them. You can leave the toy in the same form, but it will be much more beautiful if you decorate it: in such cases the imagination will help. Next, we make a small hole on the top and thread the thread. The work is finished, our decoration is ready. It is so easy to manufacture that even a child can make it.

Curly Christmas tree

This is the simplest version of such a toy. If there is a desire, then you can do something more complicated. For our next Christmas tree you will need colored paper, glue, scotch tape and scissors. The basis of this tree is a cardboard cone. After you have made it, cut a lot of strips of the same size from the paper. Glue each strip so that it turns out something like a loop, then glue them on the scotch, and then attach it (layers) to the cone. This decoration is easy to perform, but it looks no less spectacular.

Christmas tree cone

You can also make a fairly minimalistic Christmas tree. It will look good and can decorate the nook. It will require a large thick sheet of paper, wrapping paper, scotch (including two-sided), scissors and any jewelry you like. The first thing to do is a cone of thick paper, which in the future must be wrapped in decorative wrapping paper. But if it is already solid and capable of holding the form, then this point can be skipped. Fold the paper diagonally so that the tip of the cone is sharp, and securely fix the figure with adhesive tape. Cut the bottom to make it level, and the tree was stable. Next, decorate the cone with wrapping paper (do this carefully so that the bottom layer does not shine through) and fasten it. Cut off the surplus. At the top of the cone, attach a star, so immediately it will be clear that this is a Christmas tree. On the surface you can paste beads that will look like New Year's balls, or decorate the improvised spruce in your own way. The Christmas tree is ready! You can make several such ornaments of different sizes and make a very interesting and original composition of them.

Garland of paper

Everyone knows for sure the simplest ornaments made of paper with their own hands, which are often made for the New Year. This is a garland of paper. The process of making paper garlands is simple. For this it is necessary to cut the strips of paper and glue them together with each other, like a chain. Such an ornament can even create children. But you can change it a little by using instead of the usual colored paper decorative with the original print. Even with the change of material we will get a more interesting thing. And what if you make a garland not from simple strips, but from lacework? It will be very effective, although it will take a considerable amount of time to cut out such strips.

In general, you can experiment differently with such a chain, for example, do not make rings, but hearts or any other shapes. Also, as another option, consider such a garland: many different shapes are cut, and holes are made in the center. Through them, the thread that connects the figures is passed. Despite the simplicity of manufacture, the product looks very impressive.

Alternative New Year's Garland

You can also make a garland of family photos. All you need is to print your favorite stories and fix them on a string. If there is a desire, it is worth making a thematic garland dedicated to the New Year, choosing, for example, Christmas photographs. This can also be a great gift to your friends, because it's always nice to receive not just a gift, but something done by yourself. And if he is also associated with funny memories, then it is better to think of a gift and think of it. Many people like to make jewelry made of paper, stencils for which are not needed. Garlands are the perfect choice.

Snowflakes

This way to decorate the house is suitable for everyone. It is realized simply, but remarkably brings a festive atmosphere into the house.

To make jewelry from paper with your own hands, it's enough just to learn how to cut out snowflakes, because they can act as independent decorations. A square sheet of paper folds in half diagonally. Then he folds, the remaining tails are cut off to make a triangle. This scheme is familiar to everyone. The further destiny of a product depends only on your hands and imagination. By making the most varied cuts, we create an original snowflake, as shown in the paper decoration scheme. They can be very different and very interesting. Decorations from corrugated paper like many, so you can make a snowflake from it.

Toy from circles

If you do not want to buy toys in the store, you can always make jewelry for the New Year from paper. For such a wonderful toy on the Christmas tree you will need colored paper, wire, stapler and glue. It is best to perform the decoration using paper of three different colors. You can choose a combination of shades, and you can make a contrast bright ball. To begin with, we need 12 stockings of circles.

Take a cup or glass and circle on paper. If you have 3 colors, you will get 4 circles on each. Then cut them out. Fold all the resulting circles in a pile so that the top and bottom are the same color, and the others are identical in pairs, and bend them in half. Expand the stack of circles and, on the resulting fold line, secure them with a wire or a stapler. Spread the circles. Now they need to be joined: the halves must be fastened with each of the adjacent (with one on top, with the other from below). Decoration on the Christmas tree from the paper is ready!
