It is best to make a postcard on a dark background so that the white polyethylene is clearly visible. In addition to the light packs, buy a few more in a different color for a contrasting snowman scarf. In our sample, it is green, but you can make it in other bright colors, such as red or purple.

You can add an orange pom-pom made of yarn to complement the craft from garbage bags, the eyes of a snowman are created from black buttons, and the hands imitate tree branches. The voids in the picture are easy to fill with paper snowflakes made from paper folded several times.

Before you need to cut the packages into small square pieces. Then stick them tightly on the base, spreading PVA glue only in the center. Sharp edges should stick up. The more elements attached to the snowman figure, the more beautiful the craft looks.

Northern bear

This easy trash bag craft is fun to make with preschool children. This cute bear can simply be presented to loved ones as a gift. If you cut round holes at eye level and pull the rubber band on the sides, you get a masquerade mask for a matinee in kindergarten or school.

The head of a bear with round ears is cut out of white thick paper according to the pattern. In the center of the craft, an empty one is gluedplastic cup for yogurt. On its bottom, a black circle of colored cardboard, cut to size, is strengthened. This will be the character's nose.

If you make a craft from garbage bags as a postcard, then the eyes are made of cardboard. If the product will be worn as a mask for a carnival, then holes for the eyes are cut out in advance.

Next, the painstaking work of gluing pieces of polyethylene depicting the fluffy fur of a polar bear lies ahead.

Christmas wreath on the door

If you are thinking about what material you can make a magnificent wreath for Christmas or New Year, then pay attention to plastic bags. It is better to assemble the craft from pieces of blue, white or green, which are strung alternately on a thin wire.

Decorative elements are inserted between the layers. The do-it-yourself craft from garbage bags shown in the photo is decorated with small Christmas balls, which are tied to the base of the wreath by nylon threads.

When the required length of the product is reached, the ends of the wire are twisted together. You can tie a satin ribbon on top of the wreath to attach the craft to the door or wall of the room.

Christmas beauty

What is a New Year's holiday without a Christmas tree? Families with children try to get a real pine or spruce that smells like a forest by the end of the year. However, many do not welcome the cutting down of trees for a week of admiring, replacing it with either artificial or home-made crafts from junk material.

To make such a fluffy Christmas tree out of plastic bags, you need to cut a lot of circles of different diameters. You will also need a rod on a solid base to hold the craft in an upright position. It can be a piece of foam and wire or a block of wood. First, large circles are put on the rod, then smaller elements are placed in descending order. The smallest details remain at the top. You can leave the Christmas tree straight, but the craft with a curved top looks more impressive. It is good to put a bell with a bow on it or attach a golden foam star.

Puffy skirt

From long strips of polyethylene it is easy enough to make a puffy skirt for a carnival costume. To do this, on any wide elastic band, you need to attach a lot of plastic tapes folded in half.

The base is wrapped around it and the ends are threaded into a loop in the center. The more elements, the more magnificent the craft will turn out. You can assemble a pack for any costume by choosing the right shade of material.

Cone hats

A cone for a magician's headdress or parsley is made of thick paper with a printed print. The main decoration of the crafts are pompoms. To make them, you need to cut garbage bags into thin strips and tie them together, creating a long thread. Then they act in the same way as the usual yarn pom-poms.

For this, two cardboard rings are prepared,the outer diameter of which corresponds to the size of the pompom. Then the thread is tied through the inner hole and wound many times to achieve greater splendor. At the end, the strips are pushed apart and scissors are inserted to cut all the threads in a circle. A nylon thread is inserted between the rings and all the elements of the pompom are firmly tightened together. Now you can take out the cardboard templates and throw them away. Attach crafts to the hat with a stapler.

In the article we examined crafts from garbage bags. In winter, you can create a lot of original toys, Christmas tree decorations and animal figures from pompons from polyethylene. Try to do these crafts with your own hands. Good luck!
