Toys from light bulbs
In the house there are always several non-working light bulbs. And if you purposefully collect them throughout the year, then they accumulate a sufficient number in order to create a whole set of Christmas-tree decorations. All non-working light bulbs of any size can easily be given a "second life".
Cute penguin of light bulbs
There are several options for how to handle the lamp, so that they become new year toys. You can use these ideas:
- Apply the decoupage technique. This is one of the easiest ways to decorate; all you need is to take a prepared napkin and stick it on the lamp. It must first be well painted over, you can use ordinary paints. Options blanks for decoupage technique can be purchased at office supplies or in those that sell kits for needlework.
Decoupage technique will be very useful
- With the help of any paints - gouache, watercolor, and others, you can draw pictures. To fix them, it is necessary to cover the already finished pattern with varnish, if there is no special one, then even hairspray will do. When choosing a decor, you need to turn on the fantasy. Small pictures look original, for example, you can draw snowflakes, Christmas trees, etc. And you can make any figure from the bulb itself, for example, to draw a snowman or a penguin from it.
Try to decorate the light bulbs beyond recognition
- If there are ribbons, beads, multicolored threads, then you can use them as materials for decoration. To do this, paint the lamp with glue and carefully lay out the pattern on top. Beads or beads on top, it is desirable to fix the varnish.
Ribbons, beads - all in the subject
Updated design of old balls
Many families store old glass balls, which were used by grandparents. And they are all about the same, because before it was not possible to choose among the number of options, they were all produced in batches in factories, and no one thought about manual work.
Very beautiful decoration from a simple ball
Nevertheless, it is not necessary to throw them away; you can use them as a basis for creative design. Each hostess there is a box with buttons. As a rule, all of them are singular, so it is unlikely that they can be used purposefully. But such a variety will look great on Christmas decorations.
Ball of blue beads
It is better to place the buttons in a chaotic manner, for this, it is better to glue the larger ones first, and then place the small ones in the empty places. It will look beautiful if you glue beads or sequins into the middle of each of them, or at least a few.
Sequins look great
You can also refine old Christmas decorations by simply adding glitter. As a rule, most of them are single-colored, there may be drawings in the form of stains, snowflakes, Christmas-tree branches. Any of them can be made attractive if you just make it shiny. To do this, they need to be smeared with glue in those places where glitter will be poured and sprinkle abundantly, and then opened with varnish.
Use sparkles and the effect will be even cooler.
Edible toys
From the available products you can make original Christmas decorations. At the same time, you can be sure that not a single guest will be indifferent to such decor, many will approach, not believing their eyes, to look at them closer.
Edible toys, as a rule, hang on the tree for a long time
Here are just a few ideas on how food can turn into masterpieces:
- Citrus. Suitable orange, lemon, grapefruit. All you need to do is cut a circle, it is advisable to use the middle of the fruit, there it will be the largest, thread it on a string and hang it. Of course, such a “toy” will soon wither, so this should be done before the arrival of the guests.
Orange for quick eating
- Dried fruits. You can use any available to you, it can be dates, dried apricots, prunes, dried figs, etc. It is best to string them on wire, one by one, and then fix it to form a beads. Such a Christmas “toy” will retain its appearance longer than citrus fruits.
Yummy for the New Year
- Candies. This is the easiest way to decorate a holiday tree with products. It is best to use chocolate, which have a bright, colorful wrapper. They are strung on a thread behind the "tail" and hung on the branches. Original look also bars like snickers, twix and others.
For the tail and the Christmas tree - looks very tasty
- Cinnamon Sticks. In addition to originality, this decor will be a source of flavor, which is stored for a long time. You need to take a few sticks (pieces 5-7), tie them with a bundle or thick thread of bright color, and then hang them on a branch.

- Pasta. With the help of curly pasta, you can make different figures. For example, varieties in the form of bows can be strung on a wire and make such beads. And macaroni in the form of wheels can be glued together by repeating the shape of a snowflake. In the supermarkets you can find colorful items that will also look original.
Turn on the fantasy and get the result
Filling for transparent balls
In the shops you can find transparent Christmas balls - a kind of soothers, which are designed to fill them with different materials. As a rule, they are silicone, so make it easy. You can use these ideas:
- Sand with shells. Of course, at first glance, the New Year holidays have nothing to do with memories of the rest in the warm season. But for those who can fantasize and “combine the incompatible,” this is not a problem. The only caveat - to buy shells is not so easy, and such souvenirs will be expensive, so you need to take care of the preparation of materials in advance, since summer

- Candy platter. The neck in the silicone transparent balls is usually not so big as to place ordinary candies there. But various jelly beans, chocolate nuts and other small sweets will fit there just right. Especially beautiful is the combination of such candies of different colors.
Add inside the transparent ball
- Sparkles. It is best to use sequins, sequins, pebbles and other trifles, diluting them with something, for example, beads or buttons. Otherwise, it will take a lot of sparkles to fill the ball. You can also fill it with regular beads of different sizes.
Spruce with spruce
- Christmas needles. As a rule, it is easy to find a small sprig on the eve of the New Year, so you can remove needles from it and place them in a ball. Such a composition can be supplemented with other small accessories, such as sparkles.
Living plants
The idea of decorating a living tree with other plants may seem absurd to someone, but in fact such compositions look very original. And if you prefer an artificial Christmas tree, then its decoration with living plants will be generally very appropriate.
Flowers as an addition
For example, you can glue transparent small flowers or any monochromatic ball. You need to use only those plants that do not fade after five minutes, you can take chrysanthemum buds. Such work is very painstaking, requires assiduity, and time, because such a decor cannot be done in advance so that it does not wilt before the guests arrive. However, the originality of the idea justifies all the effort expended.
Cones and acorns in the New Year are not superfluous
Also an alternative to Christmas-tree toys can serve as cones and acorns. They need to be beautifully decorated: acorns can be strung on a wire to make beads, and cones can be decorated with ribbons or sprinkled with sparkles, and sprinkled with hair spray on top.

Such New Year's "toys" are, perhaps, the most simple to manufacture. You can make bows from any ribbons. It is not necessary to buy them on purpose, you can cut any unnecessary things by making strips of the same size. Bows are formed from them, which cling to the branches either with the help of threads or with the help of double-sided tape.

As for the keys, then if you search, there will be unnecessary keys in the house. To give them a festive look, you can simply tie them with ribbons and hang them on the branches. Such a decoration has a symbolic meaning that the host can pay attention to when making toasts. For example, such keys may mean that the doors of this house are always open for guests, or that the figurative doors are open before good luck and success in the coming year.
Symbolic key
So small ornaments, like bows and keys, will not be much. Since these decors are small, they can be used a lot. By the way, some especially bold visionaries make a big ribbon bow and place it instead of the usual star, but only those who are not afraid to break traditions can do it.
