Materials and Tools

So, you decided to create a Santa Claus house. Craftwork is made of simple and affordable things that every home has it. If something is missing, everything can be easily bought at the nearest store. To work you will need the following:

• Cardboard or finished box, corresponding to the size of the figure of Santa Claus.
• Ruler.
• Pencil.
• Scissors or clerical knife.
• Glue.
• Paint and a container of water.
• Brush or sponge (sponge).

The house of Father Frost with his own hands: how to make the basis

To perform a strong workpiece for the layout of the architectural structure, you can act in three ways:

1. Take a box of a suitable size, cut out the side surfaces of windows and doors, build a roof from the top plane.
2. To make from a sheet of cardboard all the details (walls, roof slopes) and glue them together.
3. Draw a blank on the cardboard in the form of a sweep, which will later be folded into a voluminous house.

When working with the first method, it will be more convenient first to disassemble (undock) the bottom of the box and fold the structure itself so that to draw windows, doors and cut them you do not have to weigh. The main thing here is to find a workpiece of the appropriate size. If it is, it will greatly simplify the process of creating the craft. You can start decorating almost immediately.

The second method, the simplest and most understandable for the child: painted one wall, the second, etc., cut out everything and glued it together. In this version, it is important to carefully and firmly connect the details, so that the house does not collapse afterwards and does not look like a crooked hut.

The third method is the most reliable, but here without the help of an adult the child is unlikely to cope. Here you need to show the design skills, imagining how to collect a three-dimensional thing from a flat sheet using folds. As a sample, you can take a box of any size, disassembled to a flat workpiece, and draw a template of the scale suitable for you. If there is no extra box that can be pasted, find on the Internet a drawing of any square or rectangular packaging and use such a scheme.

We decorate the workpiece

New Year's crafts (the photos presented above) should look festive and elegant. For this it makes sense to work in this order:

1. When you have blanks made of cardboard, color them in the right colors.
2. Cut out the trim pieces and doors from the decorative paper and glue them in their places.
3. From corrugated cardboard, make strips and paste them on the corners of the structure. It will be an imitation of logs.
4. You can cover the roof with cotton wool discs.
5. Space around the house fill with cotton wool, white napkins, soaked in PVA or other material that mimics the snow.
6. Make a snowball and snowballs as a figured punch. Stick them on the house.
7. Collect the fence from the sticks.
8. Arrange figures of New Year's characters, Christmas trees.
9. Decorate the craft with sequins, glue the seed beads or sequins.

In a word, the decoration of the house is a fascinating creative process. Fantasize!

How to make a craft in the form of a collage

If you do not have time or enough cardboard to build a voluminous house, the same can be done in the form of a relief using the technique of application.

Let the child first make on a dense basis the picture "The House of Santa Claus", and then cut together and paste the same decor, which was described in the instructions for decorating the three-dimensional design. This option is much faster and easier. By the way, such a collage, in which the drawing and application is combined, it is possible to decorate a New Year's card.

As you can see, you can make a beautiful Santa Claus house with your own hands both in voluminous and relief versions. Both ways make it possible to create spectacular things that will fit as a task for children in a kindergarten or school, and will also be an excellent gift from a child, for example, for grandparents for the New Year.
