Today I have collected several simple, but quite effective ways to decorate a hall (assembly, music) for a children's party.
The downside of this idea is that creating paper decorations takes a lot of time, so if we are talking about decorating a school hall, I advise you to conduct several master classes with children of middle and high school age. This is the only way to get many of the same elements for your holiday decoration.
Large voluminous flowers and pompoms
Pompoms of different colors and sizes can be bought in online stores. They will be delivered folded, all you have to do is fluff them up.
If you have time and free hands, you can do it yourself.
I won’t repeat myself, I’ll just point you to my article, which contains three examples of fairly large paper products. Just be careful, some flowers are made from crepe paper, while hanging balls and floor flowers are made from tissue paper.
We follow the picture, there is a description:
How to decorate a hall with such flowers?
- can be hung from the ceiling
- attach to the edge of the stage (as a rule, there is always something to cover there :-))
- hang vertically on ribbons along the edges of the stage
- lay along the edges of the “carpet” path along which graduates solemnly walk
I recommend looking at examples of pom-pom design in this article.
Corrugated paper flowers
There is no way to do this without collective creativity. But! If you make a sketch 2-3 months before the event, you can quite manage to do everything. Again I’m sending you to my article with 10 master classes on making flowers and bouquets that will decorate not only the stage, but also festive tables (follow the picture):
By the way, ideas can be taken from newlyweds, whose tables are decorated with living plants. What a difference, actually! These are charming examples of flower arrangements that will look very festive even on paper!
Here I will also mention the “trees of happiness”. They are also made from corrugated paper or colored table napkins. It turns out elegant, there are quite a lot of master classes on the Internet, look for it!
Sunshine in the interior
This bright sun with the inscription: “You are my sunshine” can become a decoration for a child’s room, a themed homemade gift from loving parents to their child.
For this craft you will need a circle. It can be wooden, plastic or even cardboard.
Paint the circle bright yellow and write the cherished phrase “You are my sunshine”, or in English “You are my sunshine”.
Cut out handprints from yellow double-sided cardstock and glue them to the back. Hang the finished piece of furniture on the wall.

How to decorate a hall with voluminous garlands
The point is this: you need to make three-dimensional figures from paper, which are then strung at some distance from each other on threads, fishing lines or thin ribbons. Such garlands hanging from the ceiling will greatly decorate a music or assembly hall.
Here is my example - pigeons in the clouds: I print out a diagram of a paper dove (by the way, you can print 20 more diagrams of different animals from here). For one garland we need two such birds. Cut out and fold along the folds, looking at the drawing in the right corner.
Print:
PIGEON
We will alternate pigeons with paper clouds like these. I don’t give you a diagram - we randomly cut out identical parts from 2 sheets of A4 format, bend them and fasten them in the center with a stapler. In a large figure, I cut out a small detail inside. This will also be a small cloud.
All! All that remains is to assemble our voluminous garland onto a string! I did this with a needle, securing the parts simply with a “step back” seam so that they would not roll down.
How do you like my pigeons in the clouds? By the way, these garlands spin very beautifully from any air movement. In the diagram the dove has legs, but we don't need it to stand on the table, I just made a curve at the bottom.
DIY crafts for children: 50 ideas with photo examples
Making various crafts for children with your own hands together with your child is an exciting activity that significantly contributes not only to the development of the child, but also to strengthening your relationship with him.
Any child will be very happy if he has the opportunity to do something beautiful with his parents. Therefore, even in the busiest schedule, try to set aside a piece of time to devote to activities with your children.
The sections of our article will provide useful recommendations on how to make crafts with your own hands from various materials, taking into account the age characteristics of children.
DIY paper crafts for children
The most commonly used material for applied arts is, of course, paper. Moreover, it is worth paying attention not only to the usual color sets, but also to its other types: corrugated, velvet, designer.
You can create crafts with your own hands for children from paper, either flat (appliques) or voluminous, using various techniques. For example, having learned to fold a flower using the origami technique, to form a beautiful bouquet of tulips.
The easiest DIY crafts for beginners
For those who are just starting to teach their child arts and crafts, we advise you to start with the simplest solutions, making easy crafts for children with your own hands. You might like examples of caterpillars made from paper rings, an applique of colorful fish, or funny little mice on a piece of cheese.
DIY cardboard crafts for children
Cardboard is an easily accessible material that can be easily cut, bent, painted, and is often used in children's creative works.
In addition to a set of cardboard purchased in a store, cardboard boxes, disposable tableware, cereal packaging, egg honeycombs, and toilet paper rolls are used.
In our photo catalog you will see what craftsmen make from cardboard for children. For example, a stand for pencils, funny animals, boxes.
DIY “house” craft
Cardboard houses are made to suit any size - it all depends on their purpose. Perhaps it will be a large structure the size of a child, a “home” for dolls, or a DIY “house” craft, made as a New Year’s decoration, gift wrapping.
In any case, the manufacturing technology is the same, the differences will be in size and design. We have prepared some sketches from which you can make blanks. If you are making small structures, PVA glue and tape are enough to hold the parts together.
When building a large house, it is better to use a heat gun for reliability.
The DIY New Year's "house" craft is complemented by decor that imitates snow on the roof (cotton wool, foam balls), and the gift wrapping must have at least one opening flap, for example, a door, a roof slope.

How to make a DIY craft from fabric
Wonderful DIY crafts and toys are sewn using fabric. Moreover, not only a solid cut, but various shreds, household napkins and even socks.
Look at the photo, isn’t it true, the cute bunny came out of a sock? An older child will be able to do it on his own, but the baby will have to help.
Make the necessary cuts and seams, and instruct the child to tightly stuff the figure and also draw a face.
You can also sew crafts for children with your own hands, which will become not only a decoration, a toy, but also a useful thing, for example, a large soft duck ottoman, a photo of which is in our catalog, or a star pillow.
DIY children's crafts made from felt
Felt is a wonderful, comfortable fabric that comes in a vibrant range of colors. It allows you to sew a variety of DIY crafts for children, and then decorate the children's room with them. Household napkins (usually sold in a set of four colors) will help replace the fabric. These toy crafts are sewn together with your own hands without the help of a sewing machine, by hand.
DIY children's crafts for the New Year
On the eve of the New Year holidays and children's matinees, rooms are decorated everywhere and lush Christmas trees are decorated. It’s quite possible to make a lot of interesting symbolic additions yourself without spending money on purchases. These can be the most original Christmas tree balls, garlands, and other decorations that a child can easily make.
DIY snowman craft
The snowman is a unique symbol of winter and, naturally, his presence will come in handy for the New Year’s interior. The photographs in our selection show options on how to make such crafts with your own hands step by step, using foam balls, socks, and pom-poms.
A larger figure, decorated with thread, balloons, and glue, is suitable for a kindergarten matinee. Inflate five balloons of different sizes (two of the same size for the handles). Wrap each of them with a thread dipped in glue (PVA is quite suitable).
When the workpieces are completely dry, the balls need to burst and be taken out from the inside. The finished balls are fastened together. The DIY “snowman” craft is almost ready. All that remains is to decorate the eyes (beads, buttons), the mouth from thread, and the carrot nose (sew from fabric).
Traditionally, the head is complemented with a bucket, and the neck is decorated with a scarf.
DIY Santa Claus craft
You can't do without Santa Claus in the New Year's interior. The easiest way is to make it out of thick paper (cardboard).
Use a ready-made template, or make a cone-shaped shape from a sheet, which you then “dress” with the help of multi-colored paper, shaping your face, beard, and hands.
Children make similar crafts for the New Year with their own hands using fabric (you will find examples of patterns here), plastic bottles, and other improvised means.
DIY crafts for kindergarten
Various creative works for young children of kindergarten age should differ in simpler techniques and materials. The child is just beginning to learn how to do something beautiful on his own, so you need to choose the simplest but most interesting options.
Cardboard letters
The inscriptions on the back of the stage are a weak point almost always and everywhere. The letters are poorly painted, the letter spacing is not maintained, and everything, as a rule, looks unprofessional.
If possible, it is better not to do this at all :-). But there are times when inscriptions or numbers are required. For example, a school anniversary.
I suggest decorating large cardboard letters with small flowers from colored napkins. The work is painstaking, but the effect is quite interesting.
The napkins are the most ordinary, small ones. One flower requires 2 napkins. Place them folded one on top of the other, draw a circle using a saucer, and cut them out. We fasten it in the center with a stapler. What to do next can be seen in the picture. We fix the resulting flowers with glue on a cardboard blank with numbers or letters.
By the way, there are more than 40 more pictures with letters and numbers from other materials HERE.
Application for Children's Day
Another application for Children's Day made of paper. It reflects all the most beautiful symbols of the holiday: Mother Earth, Guardian Angel, nature and children. We glue the wings, body and head onto the blue background - this is a blank for an angel.
We decorate the angel's head with paper curls. A halo can be made from a yellow rubber band or chenille wire.
Angel's hair and halo
Glue the Earth on top of the angel.
