Ways to do Christmas decorations a lot, but the simplest, most attractive and not time-consuming toys are made of paper.

Christmas balls

What is the most common decoration on a Christmas tree? Of course, balls! Glass, plastic, you can always buy in the store, but we will try to make them out of thick paper. This includes colored cardboard, old postcards and unnecessary magazine covers. Balls made of colored cardboard, monophonic, will give a Christmas tree or room that you want to decorate with a uniform style, and multi-colored balls will bring an atmosphere of celebration, magic and a winter fairy tale.

Before you sit down to do new toy, prepare:

• thick paper;
• use old magazines, cardboard boxes or candy boxes with bright pictures;
• glue, PVA is best;
• scissors;
• a compass or any other object that you can circle, getting an even circle.

Take your cardboard and circle twenty-one identical circles on it, then cut them out with scissors. Each circle is to be folded as follows: bend the circle in half twice, on one side and the other, then unbend, this will outline the center of the circle.

Bend only one side of it again, so that the edge of the circle is exactly along the marked center. Bend the two sides again so you get a triangle. Cut out this triangle in one of twenty circles, it will serve as a kind of stencil for the rest of the circles. All that remains for you is to superimpose the triangle on the remaining circles, trace it and bend the edges of the circles outward along the office.

Take the first ten circles and glue them in a strip, alternating: five down - five up. Glue the resulting strip into a ring, this will serve as the basis for the toy.

Divide the other ten by five and glue them into a circle. By gluing them, you get two caps.

The top and bottom covers will have to be glued to the base in the same way. Think of a loop to hang the toy from.

Children can easily help you make such a New Year's toy: you will need scissors, colored paper, packing ribbons.

We pass five stars into the needle with the flat side down.

The other five stars are turned over with the flat side up and strung on a needle and thread, securing everything with a second piece of elastic.
