DIY Dried Citrus Ornaments
Citrus ornaments look almost like stained glass when the light shines through them. To string your own strand, all you need are navel and blood oranges, parchment paper, two cookie sheets, jute or natural twine, a skewer or nail, and decorative hooks.
Make the Ornaments:
1. Preheat oven to 250°F.
2. Cut oranges crosswise into 1/4-inch slices (four oranges make a six-foot garland).
3. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper. Pat orange slices dry with paper towels, and place them on cookie sheets in a single layer.
4. Bake for approximately 3 hours or until dry. (To ensure the slices dry flat, turn them over at the midway mark.) Remove from oven.
5. Using a skewer or nail, poke two holes into the top of each orange slice.
6. Thread twine through each hole, evenly spacing the oranges on the garland. Tie off each end with a loop, and hang from hooks.

Decorative boxes
To make your own Christmas tree decorations, all you need is a basic knowledge of scissors and paper. Multi-colored thin cardboard makes cute surprise boxes - tie them up with bright ribbons and hang them on the Christmas tree. These decorative boxes can also be used to decorate a Christmas wreath and a New Year's table.

Birch bark decorations
You can go further and make Christmas tree decorations from birch bark.
Draw the outline of future toys using a stencil (these can be stars, hearts, rhombuses and other simple shapes) and cut out New Year's toys with a wood cutter and household scissors. Eco-style is one of the most popular trends in Christmas tree decoration over the past few years .
Christmas wreath made of wire and fir branches
You can make a miniature Christmas wreath from simple metal wire and fir branches . First, make a round hanger with a hook out of wire, then tie the frame with green branches (these can be spruce paws, eucalyptus, dried herbs). As a decor, decorate the composition with small branches with berries, bells, beads, ribbons and other decorations that you can find at home.
Trees from branches
By the way, you can make a mini-tree from ordinary branches or twigs. For work you will need: white wicker basket, white acrylic paint, rope or satin ribbon, garden shears, brush .
The "trunk" - a thick rod - is laid on a horizontal surface, after which they begin to assemble the "tree". Between themselves, the rods are fastened with a rope or tape. Two thick rods are threaded into the handles of a wicker basket (see photo). The tree is installed so that its trunk is securely fixed between two parallel guides. Then we paint the Christmas tree with white paint. It remains to hang balls and a garland on it.

Take the recipe for gingerbread: if your Christmas tree smells
of ginger, cardamom and cinnamon , it will only add to its charm. To make holes in future cookies for hanging on a Christmas tree, use a straw for cocktails and make a hole with it in a raw cookie on a baking sheet.
Finished cookies can be decorated with colored sugar icing. Such New Year's sweets can be hung on a Christmas tree, or you can string them on a ribbon and make a fragrant garland for a room or use them to decorate New Year's gifts! - Photo

New Year's decor
Crushing Christmas tree decorations can also be made from citrus. Take an orange or lemon, cut into circles and put them in the oven for a few minutes or dry them in advance (the best place is the windowsill above the radiator). It remains to carefully make a hole and hang it on the Christmas tree with wire or beautiful braid!
Shut up!
To make Christmas decorations with your own hands, sewing skills will also come in handy.
Soft toys can be sewn from colorful patches and decorated with embroidery, buttons, beads and seed beads. Pieces of colored fabric make cute bags in which you can pack mini-gifts for children. Let the kids themselves remove them from the spruce branches.
Homemade Christmas balls
Transparent glass balls for the Christmas tree (look for blanks in craft stores) — an inexhaustible field for creativity! To give them a personality, place inside a feather, a piece of gold foil, fur, a curl of shavings, a spikelet, a shiny serpentine n or just a green twig. Each ball can be wrapped with a ribbon with a handwritten wish for each guest - you get an unusual New Year's gift.

A transparent Christmas ball can also be decorated using decoupage technique , pasting it from the inside with a pattern from a napkin.
Or wrap the outside with lace and decorate with braid, ivy sprig, bow or string of beads.
Florariums
Another trendy decoration for the Christmas tree and an original New Year's gift is the florarium, a living arrangement of plants in a glass bowl. It does not require complex care and will decorate your home for many years. Such florariums can be made with your own hands, or you can buy in a flower studio.

What other options are there
Any felt toys are very cool. Here, for example, is the cutest New Year's boot:

And this video shows how to make several toys: a gingerbread man, a house, a deer, a bullfinch, a Christmas pudding, a heart and an angel.
Foamiran Christmas decorations
Frame: Craftastic / YouTubeWhat you need
- Glitter foamiran of two different colors;
- pencil - optional;
- scissors;
- glue gun;
- ribbon;
- beads.
How to do
Cut out eight small circles from foamiran of each color. To make them even, take some kind of cover and press it on the material from the back or circle it with a pencil.
Fold each circle in half and cut along the fold.
Then fold each piece in half with the glitter side inward. Glue from the inside on the straight side.
Frame: Craftastic / YouTubeNow connect two triangles of the same color. You need to glue them in the places where the folds are. In total, you will get eight blanks of each color.
Frame: Craftastic / YouTubeApply glue to the straight side of one piece and attach another color element to it. Attach six more shapes, alternating colors. The extremes must be different.
Frame: Craftastic / YouTubeMake another one like this. Lightly spread both on the glitter side.
Frame: Craftastic / YouTubeGlue the blanks together by connecting the colored pieces in the same way as in the previous step. From above and below, glue those places where the reverse side of the foamiran is visible. The detailed process is in the video below.
Frame: Craftastic / YouTube Cut out two small strips of foamiran of each color. Glue each one in half lengthwise.
Twist one strip, lubricating it with glue for reliability. Attach a loop of tape to the edge of the second strip and also form a glued “snail”.
Frame: Craftastic / YouTubeSpread glue from the inside of the hole on the ball. Insert the prepared parts there. They should stick out about half way.

Fir -tree bottles
PARTS: LITTLE CRAFTies / YouTube)How to do
Tape the bottle around the bottle in two places above and below where the constriction begins. Between the inner edges of the tape, the bottle should be straight. Cut along these lines.
Frame: Little Crafties / YouTubeYou will no longer need the bottom and top of the bottle. Divide the middle cut piece into four identical rings.
Image: Little Crafties / YouTubeGently burn the edges of each with a hot iron. Apply a little hot glue to the part in one place and attach the tip of the ribbon at an angle.
Frame: Little Crafties / YouTube Wrap the ring all the way, always keeping the tape at the same angle.
