1. Balls of cord and beads
Take a foam, plastic, or even old glass base, decorative cord, beads, and a glue gun. Wrap the decor with beautiful curls and dilute it with rhinestones, rain or bows.
2. Christmas balls made of threads
There are two of the most popular techniques here. Firstly, you can simply roll up a tight paper base and beautifully wrap it with a PVA cord. Or take a weakly inflated balloon, wrap it with a thread dipped in glue, and when it dries up, gently burst it and take out the base.
3. Paper balls
All the scraps that you have left after packing the gifts will be used. Cut three circles of the same size and one smaller center. Fold large circles in half twice, fasten to the base and unfold beautifully.

7. Bulky felt toys
Felt is good because it is voluminous, textured and you don't need to process the edges. Cut out two identical parts, fill with a padding polyester, sewn with a regular outer seam with a beautiful colored thread and decorate.

In the picture you can see the felt version, but by the same principle you can use thick paper or cardboard. Cut out the blanks, sew them in order, make eyes from beads and decorate the hat.
