New Year's toys have already started filling shop windows. And in some countries, they are already decorating Christmas trees. And for those who want to go the other way - examples of enthusiasts who have created Christmas decorations with their own hands.

There are plenty of types of toys that you can make yourself. These are balls, figurines of animals with birds, and geometry. As well as materials - glass, plastic, wood, cardboard, paper and even metal.

Christmas balls are classic decorations for the Christmas tree. When painting by hand, all kinds of images are used. These can be plots, individual compositions, or just ornaments. As a rule, glass or plastic remains the classic material for balls.

Figures of animals, birds or other objects are the second most popular type of Christmas tree decorations. Here, the imagination of enthusiasts is already expanding its boundaries. They suggest cutting them out of wood, paper or cardboard.

Simple and complex geometry - pentagons, rhombuses or pyramids are also popular with craftsmen. Some even come up with special moving parts for them.

Beginners are encouraged to use the creative kits. Even with their help, you can create an unusual Christmas tree toy.
