For every needlewoman, the New Year is approaching- this is the time when you want to create something new and unusual with your own hands. The approaching 2016 will not be an exception. We offer a couple of interesting crafts that will become a wonderful New Year's decoration and create the appropriate mood.What kind of materials do we not use?making New Year's decorations. Frost and bright chains are created from crepe paper, silver and gold paints help to turn natural fir or pine cones into fabulous decorations, tinsel is placed literally on every free area of the wall or furniture. The interior of the house turns into a precious stone sparkling with all the colors of the rainbow. Naturally, each family member prepares for the holiday in their own way. Mom spins around the stove from morning to night, creating new culinary masterpieces. Dad "conjures" over the installation and decoration of the Christmas tree. And the children at this time watch everything that is happening, waiting for a New Year's miracle. We offer you a craft from salt dough, which the whole family can create, receiving a lot of positive emotions from it. Surprised?! Then we will tell you in more detail.So, let's start with preparing the dough.You will need to take 2 cups of flour; 1 cup of fine-grained salt; 0.12-0.13 l. of water. Please note that the water must be cold. Next, you need to dilute the wallpaper glue in a glass and bring its consistency to the consistency of liquid sour cream. Slowly pour the water with glue into the flour and stir. You can stir it by hand, but it is preferable to use a mixer, which will allow you to create a more flexible dough. We also recommend adding 1 tablespoon of cosmetic hand cream, or, if you don’t have it, vegetable oil. If the dough is oversalted, it will become excessively brittle and fragile. Knead it thoroughly until a uniform consistency is obtained. For each family member, allocate a separate board for work, where the craft will be molded.For those who love experimenting with bright shades,we can recommend using multi-colored dough, which is obtained by adding food coloring. There are no restrictions here - we are guided only by our imagination. In the process of working on the craft, you cannot do without:

a mixer;
varnish;
rolling pins;
coins;
watercolor paints and gouache (or acrylic paints);
thin brushes;
special powder for golden and silver toys;
cutting board;
buttons;
toys with a relief pattern;
combs.

You may not be able to start immediately from the created testmold, and put it in a plastic bag in the refrigerator. There it can lie for several days without problems. In order for the products to dry, it is enough to put them on the battery and wait a day or two. To speed up this process, you can use the oven. Set the temperature in it to 80 degrees, and it will take a couple of hours to dry, not a day. Moving the product that is not completely dry is highly undesirable due to the risk of leaving fingerprints on it. Dried toys should be painted, and when they are completely hardened, you can move on to varnishing. To do this, use a brush to apply a thin layer of liquid varnish. If you suddenly do not have varnish at hand, regular hairspray will do just fine, which will also fix the paint well.Another unusual decoration for the New Year 2016year is called a New Year's photo ball. It is a snow sphere that can be made without much expense and effort, and then decorate the interior of your home or give to a loved one for the New Year.The only materials you will need are:

tape;
photo 50х50 mm;
empty transparent Christmas tree ball;
artificial snowflakes.

Description of the progress of work. 1.You need to print a small photo, the size of which will depend on the diameter of the Christmas tree ball. In our case, with a diameter of 75 mm, we took a photo of 50x50 mm. 2. Using a funnel, you need to pour artificial snowflakes inside the ball. If they start to get stuck, you should push them with a toothpick.3.We fold the photo so that it fits through the hole and insert it inside the toy. 4. Using a toothpick or another thin long object, we straighten the photo inside the toy and close it. 5. We tie an elegant ribbon to the ball on which our toy will hang. 6. We hang the toy on our New Year's beauty or decorate it in a gift box.Here are some simple but elegant crafts you can make with your own hands on New Year's Eve 2016!
