Christmas toy on a Christmas tree star. Glass Christmas tree tops in the form of a star. Paper toys are simple and inexpensive

So a separate page has appeared in our online store for Christmas tree tops made in the form of a star. The stars on the tree are different: five-pointed - "Kremlin" and Christmas "Bethlehem" - eight and fourteen final., Which symbolize the only one by whose light the Magi found the baby Christ.

In our online store are presented tree tops stars of both kinds. A lot of people want to buy a Star for a Christmas tree for themselves and their loved ones.
Do you know how it all started? I can tell you.

Many years ago, in one small town with the sonorous name of Vysokovsk, there was only one Girl. It was a small, pretty, big-eyed Girl, of which there are many in all the cities of our vast country. And she had a Grandmother. Grandma was a Sorceress and worked in a factory that produces Joy ... It was one of the leading factories in our country in this area. And then one day, Grandmother gave her beloved Granddaughter an amazing thing, made with her own hands - a glass Christmas tree top made in the form of an eight-pointed star and assembled from shiny glass beads using a thin wire. The girl fell in love with her Star very much and since then every year the Star has decorated the New Year tree in their house, giving everyone joy and love, as it was a Real Magic Thing!

Many years have passed since then and the little Girl grew up into a blue-eyed beauty, learned and went to work at her grandmother's factory. And many more years passed, and Grandmother was gone. And the Star continued to give everyone warmth and joy. But one day something happened that happens to all our beloved and frequently used things. It's broken! Thin wires were frayed and the beautiful Star turned into a bunch of shiny glass beads ... And this bunch of beads was taken by Granddaughter and brought to her factory. The Council of the Eldest Sorceresses gathered, they conjured for a long time, but the Star was saved. And at the same time they invested so much Love and Good into it that they felt sorry for them to part with the Star. Why is there such a wonderful Star in only one house ?! They still bewitched, and the Star had twin sisters, and then other Stars appeared. And there are more and more of them, so that everyone has enough!

Once, before the New Year, my daughter went to GUM and saw the Stars in all the splendor of their magical radiance! And she told me about them. And I, in turn, bought them for our online store and shared them with all site visitors. And she gave her daughter one of these Stars for her birthday. Let us also have a Real Magic Star!

(This is the true story of the creation of the glass Christmas tree Star.)

Is coming New Year and the bulk of the time in the last days of the outgoing year is occupied by preparation before the holiday. To decorate the main symbol - the Christmas tree - we use many different ornaments. Some people prefer Christmas balls, others get old Soviet toys from the mezzanine, and still others prefer to make decorations with their own hands. Let's figure out how to make a star for a Christmas tree yourself, and save this year's holiday budget.

Paper toys are simple and inexpensive

Both children and adults love to make paper. Try decorating the tree on one of the long winter evenings with your child. So many variations of paper stars on the Christmas tree have been invented that it is impossible to list everything. Think paper toys will look too simple - not at all. Just look at what beautiful crafts are obtained from this material.

	Use double-sided paper of your favorite color to make a star. Fold it up like an accordion. To keep the parts even, we recommend that you first fold the sheet in half, then unfold and fold each half in half again. Expand again and repeat the steps with a quarter of the sheet, i.e. a quarter of the sheet must be folded in half again. You will get fold lines along which it is easy to fold an even accordion.
	Fold the accordion in half, this is done to mark the middle line. Expand this fold. Cut a piece of paper diagonally from the outer bottom corner to the middle, but not reaching it.
	Fold the accordion in half and cut the exact same piece of paper from the other half along the cut line. In principle, you can cut off the excess at once, but since the paper here is several folds, it will be difficult to do this.
	Tie the workpiece in the middle with what you will subsequently attach it to the tree.
	Expand the star. There will be extra gaps between the rays of the star on both sides, glue these areas with tape.
	Spread out the star and secure it to the top of the tree.

If you prefer the five-pointed stars in the style of the Soviet era, then they are easily made from thick paper or cardboard - ordinary, for children's creativity, or decorative, which is used in scrapbooking.

Follow the instructions below.

Here's another variation on this theme made from perforated cardboard.

If the previous options are best fixed on the top of the Christmas tree, then the star, made according to the next master class, will decorate the branches. It looks more like a fluffy needle ball, and you can't immediately say that it is made of paper yourself, it looks so professional.

	Cut 10 round blanks. For outlining, you can use any round object or compasses.
	Fold the circle in half. Then again in half and again. Unfold the shape.
	In the center, draw a small circle about 2 cm in diameter and cut along the folds to the inner circumference.
	Grease the tip of each petal with glue and, using a sharpened pencil as a shape, roll each petal into a cone.
	Having smeared the petals with glue, you can sprinkle them with sparkles, additionally decorating them.
	Now let's collect the star. Make a hole in the center of each piece with an awl.
	Put a small sequin on the cord. Insert two threads at once into a thick needle.
	String the first piece with the wrong side facing up. We string the rest on the contrary. We fix the last detail with a sequin. Pull the two strands in opposite directions to form a star.

And stars are also made of paper using the origami technique. This may seem difficult at first glance. But if you follow the instructions carefully, it turns out that the process is not so much difficult as painstaking. The easiest way is to make a star from separate modules, which are then nested one into another.

	For manufacturing, you need 6 squares of paper of different colors 9 by 9 cm.
	All modules are stacked the same way. Fold the paper diagonally. Unfold 90 degrees clockwise and fold diagonally again.
	Unfold 90 degrees clockwise, flip over and fold in half like a booklet.
	Unfold, push the paper from the sides and it will fold into the folds. You will get a double triangle.
	This is how it looks from the reverse side.
	And so - from above. Make 6 of these parts.
	Let's start assembling. Each module has two corners on each side. Take the red module and the yellow one.
	Insert the two corners of the yellow module into the two pockets of the red module.
	Insert all the way.
	Fold in half. Expand back. It will fold.
	Now in this place the paper is revealed.
	Fold it in the same way as in the photo.
	Take a new red module and insert it into the pockets of the yellow module. Push it all the way in again.
	Fold in a fold. Open and fold.
	Connect the modules further in order, alternating the red and yellow modules.
	Finally, close the shape. Don't forget to fold. Spread it out. It remains only to thread the thread. Make a loop and slip into the pocket. Glue so that the thread does not fly out.

Here is another instruction for making small stars, they can be used to decorate a miniature forest beauty.

	We make notes on a piece of paper, two centimeters each.
	We draw along the marks of the line to get even stripes. And cut off the strips.
	Take one piece of paper tape. Fold the edges into a loop: left edge under right. There should be a little left edge.
	Tuck the left edge into the loop and align.
	We turn the small tail up.
	We lower the upper ribbon down and to the left. We spread it exactly along the edge.
	Turn the figure over and rotate it so that the long piece of tape is on top. We bend down and to the right. Turn it over again, bend it down and to the left, turn it over - down and to the right, then turn it over again - down and to the left.
	We hide the remaining piece in the resulting pocket.
	Use your fingernail to push the star from the sides and it will become voluminous.

From fabric: star on top of a Christmas tree and pendants made of patches

Fabric toys look a little unusual for us. But how great they will look on the tree. For example, this eight-pointed star can be tied to the crown of the head. It is not done in 5 minutes, but for the sake of such beauty you can spend some time.

	To sew a lace star of Bethlehem on a Christmas tree, you need a pattern. You can build it yourself, but we recommend using a ready-made one, just enlarge the image to the desired size. In the original, the size of the finished sprocket was 24 cm.
	Source materials: two types of fabrics that are close in tone, but different in texture, however, this is for your taste; fabric for the back of the toy. This can be a piece of the same material that is already used for the front, if you suddenly have extra. ribbons with which the star will be attached to the top of the spruce; use whatever you want for decoration: sequins, buttons, rhinestones, beads, beads. Lace looks especially good.
	Cut out eight "petals" of the star for the front side and the back side of the two halves.
	Fold over the details and sew where you see the red lines.
	Smooth the seams well.
	Fold the resulting pieces in two and sew again.
	Now you have two facial details that need to be smoothed out.
	Just sew them with one center seam.
	Smooth out the part completely.
	Sew on the back of a tape 50-60 cm long and a loop 10 cm long.
	Sew both halves together and use scissors to make cuts where marked in green.
	Stuff the toy and sew.
	Decorate as you wish or as in the photo. The central bead is sewn through, while at the same time a button is attached to the back.

Now see what kind of result you can get. Similar handicrafts can be put as a gift.

And if you make several small toys, you can make pendants out of them.

A six-pointed star is sewn in a similar way.

Speaking of pendants. Original variations on the theme of the Christmas eight-pointed star are obtained from patches. These stars are unusual, but they are also hung on the tree.

	By themselves, they are round, but a pattern created from patches of different colors forms a star. Such an ornament looks very elegant on a Christmas tree. Moreover, the color of the toy is predominantly red, New Year's.
	First of all, prepare the material. You can buy it specifically at craft stores, but it's much more practical to use old shirts, blouses, bedding for this purpose - whatever, as long as the colors go well with each other. In total, 40 parts with sides 5 by 4.5 cm will be required.Of this number of elements of the indicated size, an ornament with a diameter of about 10 cm will be obtained.
	Fold the long side of each piece inward by about 1 cm and smooth with an iron.
	Now lay out a few pieces face up and draw a line down the center. Do this with all the details.
	Cut out a square-base and draw it as in the photo: two diagonals and a cross passing through the middle of the sides.
	Place the first part so that the top edge and line in the center coincide with the lines on the backing.
	Move the second part down a little.
	Place three more pieces in the same way.
	Sew back the needle through all the details. Be sure to make sure that the edges of the parts are sewn on, the stitch must exactly fall on the beginning of the part.
	Sew seven more rows in the same way. The center lines on the parts are aligned with the lines on the matte.
	Fold the right piece first.
	Then put it down.
	Bend it again, but upward.
	Do the same with the left part.
	Then everything is easier. It will only be necessary to fold the part first in the form of a triangle.
	Then lay down. We do not bend anything up. This is done only with the first part in the row.
	We repeat similar actions with all the patches in all rows.
	As a result, such an ornament is obtained. Pin the front to the backing and cut out.
	Sweep and, stepping back about 1 cm from the edge, draw a line in a circle.
	Cut out on the front side back and a padding polyester circle for the inner layer. On the back, we also draw a line, stepping back 1 cm from the edge.
	We take a store-bought bias tape or from the material from which the toy was sewn, cut out a strip along the bias.
	We carefully sew the decoration in a circle. We process the edges.
	Don't forget to sew on the ribbon.

Openwork and original thread jewelry

Maybe you still have a small skein of knitting thread and you don't know what to make of it for the good of the business? Try making airy, graceful, charming stars on a wire frame.

	It takes very little materials to make such a cute fluffy star pendant.
	Prepare the wire.
	Bend the wire so that 5 beams form.
	Cut the wire, leaving a small margin.
	Take fluffy yarn.
	Glue the frame in the place where you will start wrapping the sprocket.
	Gently wrap the entire frame with thread.
	Then, in a chaotic manner, fill in the gaps, as shown in the photo.

That's all. It will take only a few minutes to make the pendant, and you can decorate the whole Christmas tree with such toys, you don't even need anything else.

And how do you like the next master class, which shows how to make a star from cardboard and twine? Original decorations are painted with acrylic paint.

	Make a cardboard template. Draw the outline. You will need two identical parts.
	Cut out the frame of the future star from cardboard.
	Lubricate one half of the frame with PVA glue.
	A small star, which turned out from the middle of a large star, can also be wrapped with threads.
	Glue the two layers of the wireframe for the small and large star.
	Covering the cardboard with PVA glue from the outside, start wrapping it with twine. Secure the edge of the twine with glue.
	The star can be painted with acrylics and a sponge.
	It remains only to tie the thread.

An openwork star, similar to a real work of art, will turn out if you make a frame from matches for stretching the threads. Moisten the thread itself in PVA glue, and then start wrapping the frame: first along the contour, then in the middle, creating a fantasy pattern. Let the star dry and remove from the matches. The toy, thanks to PVA glue, will keep its shape.

See the video for making a star according to this scheme, it will be simpler, but the technology is similar.

Products from beads and beads

To make stars on the Christmas tree, they also use beads and beads. They are unusually beautiful and graceful. You will need wire, beads, beads, wire cutters, and a lot of patience if you want to do something more difficult than the photo above.

The variant of several rows looks more interesting, but not everyone can make such a star.

Small pendants made of glass beads can also serve as a Christmas tree decoration. We offer one of the manufacturing schemes.

Do you want a simpler, but very decorative option? Make a frame out of thick wire, and collect many multi-colored beads for a long piece of thin wire for weaving. Then wrap the frame with beaded wire. Here's what you should get.

Crafts from newspaper tubes

An interesting direction of needlework is weaving from newspaper tubes. The blanks are very simple to make. It is necessary to cut the newspaper sheet lengthwise into strips about 7-8 cm wide, then twist them diagonally, using a knitting needle, a wooden skewer or something similar at the beginning for the template. Such tubes are used to make decorative crafts, souvenirs, doll furniture, flower pots and, of course, stars on the Christmas tree. Quite hard to imagine clear instructions in the photo, so we suggest that you familiarize yourself with the master class in video format.

Decorate the resulting star with bows, rhinestones, paint with paint.

Stars are made not only from the listed materials, but also from ordinary thin twigs.

Imagine and make original Christmas tree decorations. Good luck with your creativity!

New Year is everyone's favorite holiday, for which you need to prepare ahead of time. So we decided to learn how to make Christmas toys with our own hands. Today we will make an octagonal star out of paper; you can hang it on a Christmas tree, on a chandelier, in a doorway, or just on a wall. It can be made of shiny paper, and after production it can be decorated with glitter (sparkles). You can make a tail of beads and beads for it. We will show you the basics, and you already show your creative inclinations further on your own.

So, watch a master class on making a Christmas tree toy "Star".

To craft one octagonal star, you will need:

1. Two identical sheets of square-shaped decorative paper
2. Scissors
3. Pencil and ruler

Fold the sheet in half, right-side in, and then in half again. Fold in the edges, then unfold it.

Now fold the paper diagonally, this time with the right side out.

Unfold and fold on the other diagonal. Expand.

You should have this leaf shape.

On the back of the paper, mark the midpoint of each in each jammed section (not diagonal).

Now cut the paper to the indicated spot.

Fold the paper diagonally so that you have a four-pointed star.

Now spread glue on one of the folded sides in the previous paragraph.

Glue all the sides of the four-pointed star and overlap one of the triangles on the other.

You have got a three-dimensional four-pointed star.

Make the second four-pointed star in the same way.

Now you need to align the inner sides of the two stars so that their rays are diagonally to each other.

The result is an eight-pointed star. Now you can thread one of its ends and hang it on the tree. You can decorate the star with glitter, glue rhinestones, or spray with silver paint from a can.

Here you can choose toys for the Christmas tree, which in their dimensions will optimally correspond to the height of a certain city Christmas tree.
