The photo shows how to make a red flashlight. The sequence of actions is similar.
If you cut everything carefully, then the yellow tube should go into the purple one. At the same time, it must not be pushed through to the end. Its edge must be smeared with glue, and only then insert the resulting yellow flashlight into the purple tube completely. The same must be done on the other side. Slightly pull up the purple part to release the yellow. Coat it with glue. This will fix the yellow leaf in purple.

Options on how to do Christmas decorations from paper to New Year, a lot, we tried to make an interesting selection of ideas and master classes. You only need improvised materials that can be found in any home, any paper, a little patience and creative imagination!

Balloons

The most common and versatile do-it-yourself toys for the new year are Christmas balls. You can make it from any thick paper: colored cardboard, colorful postcards or old magazine covers. Monochromatic balls will give a single style to the room, and multi-colored - an atmosphere of fun and fabulous magic.

So, before you start making New Year's paper toys, you need to prepare the following:

thick paper with a pattern;
scissors;
PVA glue;
a compass or any object, outlining which you can reproduce a circle (jars, lids, glasses, etc.).

How to do:

Draw 21 identical circles on paper and cut them out with scissors.

Prepare the circles as follows:

bend the circle twice in half (this is necessary to determine the center);
unbend the circle and bend one side of it so that the edge of the circle is exactly in the center;
bend two more sides of the circle to make a triangle with equal sides;
cut out the resulting triangle, which will play the role of a pattern for the rest of the details;
impose a triangle on the rest of the circles, circle with a pencil and bend the edges outward along the lines.
Glue 10 circles together with two sides so that you get a strip: 5 circles on top, and 5 on the bottom. The strip must be glued into a ring. This will be the base for the ball.

Divide the remaining 10 parts into 5 pieces, which are glued into a circle. Got two "caps".

Glue the top and bottom "lid" to the base in sequence.
The loop for hanging the ball can be made from a thread threaded through the top of the toy with a needle, or from a beautiful ribbon. A loop of ribbon is fixed with a knot and threaded through the top of the "cap" of the ball before gluing it to the base. The knot stays inside the toy, and the loop stays outside.
