I prepared two packages of cotton pads (80 pieces), a stapler, glue, and a thick paper cone.

First you need to prepare needles for the Christmas trees. To do this, I fold the disk in half.

Then again.

I fasten it with a stapler, leaving the “ears”.

Here's what I got!
![Crafts for the New Year from cotton pads](https://i.washerhouse.com/images/18/1704-podelka-k-novomu-godu-iz-vatnyh-diskov.jpg)
For snowmen I take cotton pads, white and orange cotton swabs, glue, threads and a needle, red fabric, black and blue beads, scissors.
![Crafts for the New Year from cotton pads](https://i.washerhouse.com/images/18/1705-podelka-k-novomu-godu-iz-vatnyh-diskov.jpg)
I divide the cotton pad into two parts, starting to sweep one half in a circle.

![Crafts for the New Year from cotton pads](https://i.washerhouse.com/images/18/1707-podelka-k-novomu-godu-iz-vatnyh-diskov.jpg)

![Crafts for the New Year from cotton pads](https://i.washerhouse.com/images/18/1709-podelka-k-novomu-godu-iz-vatnyh-diskov.jpg)
Then I place the other half of the cotton pad in the center of the pompom. I'm tightening the strings. I do this very carefully, otherwise the disc will break.

So, the main elements of the New Year crafts completed, all that remains is to place them on the base. They can use thick cardboard, but I took a lid with sides from a cottage cheese pie. Filling the space with cotton pads, imitating fluffy snowdrifts.
