Preparing for the New Year not only takes a certain amount of time - it is also a pleasure, no less. than the holiday itself. Today we invite you to make sure of this once again and make a Christmas tree out of tinsel with your own hands. You can decorate a festive table with such a Christmas tree or give it as a souvenir to one of your friends. It will not take much time to make it, but our master class with step-by-step instructions will tell you how to do it.

What you need to make a tinsel Christmas tree


Let's first prepare everything you need according to the list below. To make an elegant tinsel Christmas tree with your own hands, you will need:

  • a sheet of thick paper or cardboard;
  • stapler;
  • simple tape;
  • glue;
  • tinsel;
  • sweets and light toys for decoration.

As you can see, all this can be found not only in every home. but also in the office before the holidays. Well, now you can start work.

Tinsel tree - master class

We take a piece of cardboard and roll a cone out of it. Probably everyone knows how it's done. First you need to roll the cardboard into a bag, then glue the connecting seam and, for reliability, fix it with tape - along or across, as you please.

After that, you only need to cut the base of the cone in a circle so that it can be placed evenly on the table.

We take tinsel and fix one end of it at the top of the cone with the help of the same stapler. You can take green tinsel or tinsel of any other color, in any case, the Christmas tree from it will be elegant and beautiful.

Now we take glue or an adhesive stick and coat the surface of the cone with it in a circle. It is not necessary to cover the entire surface with glue, it will be enough if you do this in a circle in different places. After that, we take tinsel and wrap it around our cone in a circle. Like this.

The tinsel sticks easily to the paper cone. But if you want, then for reliability you can also fix it with a stapler. That's all. The main work is done, the tinsel tree is ready. Now we just have to decorate it with what we have at hand. These can be sweets in bright shiny wrappers, or they can be miniature light toys. Finally - just the usual shiny rain.

DIY tinsel Christmas tree - decorating tips

How to attach candy and decorations to the Christmas tree? Indeed, after all, she does not have branches on which you could fasten them. There is a little trick that we recommend using.

Take a skein of regular knitting yarn and use it to make a garland of candies and decorations. Tying sweets and toys to yarn is not difficult. And after such an impromptu garland is ready, you can easily wrap your Christmas tree with it. The ends of the garland on the Christmas tree can be fixed with a stapler or ordinary paper clips.

It's too early to buy a fresh beautiful Christmas tree, but now is the time to create a festive atmosphere in your home. You can feel the approach of this bright day even today, creating a special mood for yourself and your children with the help of New Year's crafts. Everyone knows perfectly well that the main symbol of the new year is the Christmas tree, so we suggest you try to make your own Christmas trees from various materials. With such Christmas trees you can decorate your apartment and even a festive table. By the way, this is also an original gift for grandparents, made by your child. Many options will be easy and affordable even for the smallest. Here we go?..

Option 1

Christmas tree with your own hands from cones and plasticine.

For work, you will need cones, plasticine, cotton wool and tinsel or braid.

So that your baby can take an active part in the manufacture of this Christmas tree, invite him to roll up small multi-colored plasticine balls and put them on a bump (even a two-year-old child will be able to do this). Plasticine can serve as the basis, and cotton wool will serve as an imitation of white snow. Here they are, our beauties. Our daughter dressed up these Christmas trees when she was 1 year and 10 months old. Offer a fun activity for your child.

We bring to your attention another option on how you can easily make a Christmas tree with your own hands.

Option 2

Christmas tree with your own hands from tinsel.

To make it, you will need tinsel, glue (you can use tape instead of glue) and a cone (it can be made from cardboard or thick paper).

We coat the surface of the cone with glue and wind the tinsel in a spiral (we needed about 4 meters of tinsel to make this Christmas tree). By the way, tinsel can be any color, not necessarily green. It turns out a very bright and original Christmas tree with a minimum of costs and time. A small child can easily cope with such a Christmas tree, of course, not without the help of parents.

Option 3

If you didn’t have a sheet of cardboard or thick paper at hand to make a cone, it doesn’t matter. An ordinary plastic bottle can serve as the basis of a festive tree. And again we wrap the base with tinsel.

Option 3

Candy Christmas tree.

I suggest you make a luxurious "sweet" Christmas tree. It will undoubtedly become both a decoration of the festive table and a favorite delicacy of children.

This Christmas tree is very easy to make. To work, you will need any candy about 1 kilogram, a wide adhesive tape and a cardboard cone. We fasten the candies to the middle of the adhesive tape, then we attach the adhesive tape to the cone. Voila, the tree is ready!

Option 4

This Christmas tree on a frame will require some effort: you will have to solder such a cone of steel wire. Her outfit can also serve as a beautiful bright tinsel. Here is another beauty.

Option 5

Christmas tree with your own hands from yarn.

We apply glue to the cardboard cone and wrap it with yarn in a spiral. We decorate the Christmas tree with beads, bright braid, sequins and sparkles.

That's all. A Christmas tree made with your own hands flaunts in front of you!

How to make a Christmas tree with your own hands out of paper:

Option 6

I am curly, curly... Meet our green beauty!

To create such a beauty, we again need a cardboard cone, colored paper (it is better to use two-layer colored paper) and glue or tape. We glue the cone with strips of the same width, but of different lengths. We begin to dress the Christmas tree in curls from the top.

For the convenience of gluing, first prepare the “curls” (they should be of different lengths - the upper part consists of short strips twisted on a pencil (we wound them on skewers, the pencil is thick) strips, the lower one is of longer ones). By the way, we made 2 Christmas trees: when making the first one, we glued the future “curls” onto adhesive tape, and then attached the strip to the cone, and only after that did the hairdo to the Christmas tree. And the second Christmas tree was created a little differently: instead of adhesive tape, glue was used and the cone itself was pasted over with stripes of the same width, but of different lengths (each strand was glued separately). For the convenience of gluing, it is advisable to prepare “curls” in advance.

Option 7

Christmas tree origami from a magazine

This tree is very easy to make. The material for it will be glossy magazines (in our case, only 1 was needed, but thick), which can be found in every home.

The thick magazine cover can be torn off.

So let's get started. I would like to warn you that this work will require patience and time, although it all depends on the thickness of the magazine you have chosen. We bend the upper right corner of each page of the magazine towards us at an angle of 45 degrees.

Then fold the sheet in half again (diagonally).

The lower corner that goes beyond the borders is wrapped up. All other pages of the magazine are folded in the same way. It turns out here is such an interesting "accordion".

Option 8

DIY Christmas tree made of colored paper.

The basis of the Christmas tree will again be a cardboard cone, and we will also need colored paper (we used 2 colors), scissors, glue and tape.

The most painstaking part in the manufacturing process of this craft is to cut strips of colored paper of the same length and width.

We glue each strip so that we get a loop, then we attach all the loops to the adhesive tape, leaving the distance necessary for gluing with the surface of the cone.

Herringbone it will turn out multi-tiered and bright due to the alternation of colors. Another paper Christmas tree handmade is ready!

Option 9

This Christmas tree can become an original gift and decoration of the festive table, and it can also take its rightful place on the New Year tree. You can make it from ordinary colored paper and 2 skewers, and you can use laces, braid, sparkles, sequins, etc. for decoration.

We cut out a triangle from colored paper, fold the paper with an accordion, pierce a hole in the center with a hole punch, insert 2 skewers. The base can be plasticine or thick paper rolled up. We decorate the crown with a star or a flower, as we did.

Option 10

We propose to do volumetric elegant herringbone, which will undoubtedly become a decoration of a children's room and not only.

We propose to do volumetric elegant herringbone, which will undoubtedly become an adornment of the children's room and not only.

For work you will need: sheets of green cardboard or thick paper, felt-tip pens / markers, paints, sparkles / sequins, glue, adhesive tape, scissors, stickers / stickers.

  1. We bend a sheet of thick paper (cardboard) in half and cut along the fold line.
  2. The resulting 2 halves are folded again and bent in half.
  3. We find the center of each tree (gently bend across in half - from the top to the bottom of the tree).
  4. We make cuts in the middle of the Christmas trees: on one cut from the crown to the middle, and on the other - from the bottom to the middle.
  5. We connect two Christmas trees, carefully inserting them into the cuts.

The only thing left is to decorate our fluffy "beauty".

Advice: if you want your Christmas tree to be more fluffy, then you can use more paper.

By the same principle, you can make a Christmas tree from a cardboard box.

Option 11

The Christmas tree made of paper cones of different sizes, which are simply inserted into each other, looks spectacular.

The base of the Christmas tree is a cardboard tube (you can use a “tube” from a toilet paper roll).

We prepare several cones of different diameters. We make frequent cuts 0.5 cm long along the edge of the cones. Get neat caps-hats. Then we apply a small layer of glue to each cap, except for the largest one, and insert them into each other. We decorate the Christmas tree to taste. That's it!

Option 12

And here is another Christmas tree made of paper, more precisely from napkins.

For work, we need: a cardboard cone, three-layer, you can also double-layer, paper napkins (1 pack), glue, a stapler, cardboard, a small round shape (we used a lid from a jar of vitamins), a little of your patience, imagination and desire to create . The work will be painstaking and will take you about two hours. But it's worth it. Look how good she is!

We trace circles on a napkin, cut them out, fasten the circles with a stapler in the middle. Then we bend one leaflet at a time (a layer of a napkin), twist it in the center, bend each leaflet and twist it. By the way, your child can do such work, our 4-year-old Mashenka easily coped with it. You should get such a “rose” (for its manufacture we used 2-layer napkins). We are preparing some more flowers.

We take a cone and stick “roses” on it in a circle. Each subsequent flower row should be slightly smaller in size (circles of napkins will be of the same diameter, just the roses need to be squeezed harder when working, the buds become tighter, thus the size of the flowers decreases).

We decorate the beauty with sparkles and beads, we attach a bow to the crown. Before sprinkling the Christmas tree with sparkles, first apply hairspray to its surface. Shake off excess glitter.

Voila, what a beauty!

Option 13

And now I would like to invite you to make this chic beauty from corrugated paper. At first glance, it may seem that this is a very complex and time-consuming process. But I want to assure you that any person can make such a Christmas tree, even a child, but not without the help of an adult.

For work, we need corrugated paper of different shades of green (thanks to them, the Christmas tree will sparkle in different colors and be brighter, although the Christmas tree can be made snowy, white, and colorful - it all depends on your imagination), red for candles, glue, scissors, a ruler, instead of knitting needles we used ordinary skewers, a cardboard cone, beads / beads to decorate the “Christmas tree”, wet wipes / a cloth for hands and free time. So let's get started.

1. To begin with, we cut strips of corrugated paper 15 * 20 cm in size (along the corrugation lines) - these are the future branches of our spruce.

We twist them into double tubes on skewers. For the lower branches, you can use thick knitting needles, but since no one in our house is fond of knitting, we had to make all the spruce branches the same with ordinary skewers. We think it turned out well.

Double corrugated tubes: put the skewer on the edge of the strip and tightly wind the paper around it until about the middle of the sheet (everything can be done by eye, you don’t need to sit and complicate your work by drawing lines in the middle of the strips), on the other hand we wind the paper onto the second skewer, while not forgetting hold the first one.

We put the skewers vertically. We hold the lower part of the paper with our fingers and with small squeezing movements from top to bottom we tighten the paper until it all “folds” on skewers. We do this in small areas, rearranging the fingers.

This is what our tubes look like - compressed paper.

We unwind the tubes a little, narrow and glue one end of the tube, thus sharpening it, and flatten the other end a little (we will glue this end to the cone - the spruce trunk). We can shape the branch - we wind it on our finger and the branch becomes slightly curved. We prepare about 30 such branches.

The cone (spruce trunk) can be pasted over with brown paper.

We begin to glue the branches from the bottom up, glue the next rows with a slight overlap on each other. Try to arrange the branches in a checkerboard pattern.

In order to make candles, we twist a thin single tube, cut it into pieces of 2-2.5 cm. From a strip of 0.5 × 3 cm we twist a light, twist the strip with a flagellum. We glue the flagellum inside the candle, and in turn glue the candle into the recesses on the spruce branches.

That's all! Look how beautiful it turns out! Such a wonderful tree will delight you, your children and guests.

Option 14

I bring to your attention another version of the Christmas tree, similar to a Christmas tree made of napkins. To create it, we need: corrugated paper (1 color is possible, but we used 2 - the Christmas tree looks more spectacular), a cardboard or thick paper cone, glue (you can use PVA or glue stick), as well as your patience and desire to create.

Well, have you started?

1. We cut strips of corrugated paper about 20 cm long, 2 cm wide (no need to sit and measure everything with a ruler, your good eye is enough). To create this Christmas tree, it took about 30 strips of each color. We make frequent cuts on one side of the strip and along its entire length,

then we twist the “flowers” ​​from the strips, clamp the base of the flowers or cut off the “tail”.

2. We glue the flowers around the perimeter of the cone, starting from the bottom, alternating colors.

So the fluffy beauty is ready, which will undoubtedly become the decoration of your home.

In order to create such beauty, it will take about 2 hours of your time, but it's worth it - the child will really like this painstaking work.

Soon the New Year 2018 will knock on all doors, and the houses will be filled with the smell of tangerines, vanilla and chocolate cookies, and pine needles. However, they won’t feel the unique aroma emanating from the green beauty somewhere: the owners of these dwellings, after watching videos and photos on the topic “how to make a Christmas tree with their own hands”, decide to save nature - not to buy cut down trees.

How to make a Christmas tree from tinsel and paper

In the first master class, the process of making a Christmas tree from drawing paper and tinsel will be described. For work, you will need about two meters of tinsel, a sheet of drawing paper, a pencil, scissors and glue.

First of all, on a piece of drawing paper, you need to mark the contours of a circle with a radius of about twenty-five centimeters, but only half of the indicated circle should be cut, because such a semicircular detail is needed in order to make the base of the Christmas tree. The edges of the cardboard part must be overlapped and the seam secured with glue.

After the cardboard base is ready, you need to apply glue to the surface of the base and stick the tinsel in a circle. Beads, bells can be attached to tinsel as decorations.

The base can also be made of paper, in which case we need a sheet of paper, scissors and glue.

First, you need to twist a cone-shaped element from a sheet of paper, which will serve as the base of the Christmas tree, and cut off excess paper so that the future Christmas tree is stable. Then it is necessary to apply glue to the surface of the cone and carefully glue the tinsel in dense rows in a circle.

From wire and a piece of wood

In the second master class, it will be described step by step how to make a Christmas tree from wire and tinsel. For work, you will need pieces of wire of different densities, a wooden stand, tinsel and Christmas toys that can be attached as decorations.

First of all, a piece of wire must be fixed in a wooden stand, for this you need to make a hole in it and drop a little glue. To form the trunk, it is desirable to use a dense wire. To make a frame for future branches, pieces of thin wire must be twisted in a spiral and wrapped around the trunk. Then the tinsel should be fixed on a wire frame.

How to make a Christmas tree out of tinsel and candy

To work, you will need a sheet of cardboard, sweets in bright wrappers, tinsel, adhesive tape and scissors.

First, from a sheet of cardboard, you need to form the base of the future Christmas tree in the shape of a cone. Then, sweets should be attached to the surface of the base with adhesive tape in loose rows. Then all gaps must be closed by wrapping the base with tinsel.

wall variant

In the fourth master class, we will talk about how to make a Christmas tree that will look beautiful on the wall. There are two options. The first option - you can simply attach the tinsel on the wall in the shape of a Christmas tree, fixing the bends of the branches with stationery needles.
