Knitted decor items are ideal for decorating a winter interior, and such toys will look very impressive on a New Year tree. Yarn for products should be chosen in traditional holiday shades – white, red, green. You can make small solid stars or circles that represent Christmas balls. If time permits, and fantasy suggests interesting plots, then real works of art can be obtained from ordinary woolen yarn. You can choose images of deer, stars or snowflakes as an ornament.

Button to button

Buttons in different sizes and colors can be found in every apartment. Often they lie idle, and sometimes a lot of them accumulate. They are perfect as a decorative material for creating New Year’s toys. True, for this you will need more blanks in the form of balls (they are sold year-round in needlework stores).

Felt crafts

Another material from which it is easy to make a Christmas tree decoration is felt. You can play it and create all sorts of interesting figures from it. And if you take a blank ball, small felt flowers and stationery pins, then from this set you can get a wonderful toy for a Christmas tree. Even if you draw a winter character (a penguin or a snowman) on felt, and then cut it out and decorate it with embroidery, you get a very interesting and exclusive Christmas tree toy.
