Good afternoon, today I'm uploading the largest selection of Christmas trees made from paper. Here you will see the most interesting models- there will be Christmas trees from crepe paper, from napkins, from cardboard, you will learn how to make a Christmas tree from a paper cassette from eggs, from rolls of toilet paper and bags folded from book pages. In this selection of master classes we will consider only paper versions of the most beautiful do-it-yourself Christmas trees - both flat models and three-dimensional designs. Here are ideal options for crafts for the New Year's school competition.

So let's get started.

Idea #1

Beautiful Christmas tree FROM PAPER FANS.

Even children will be happy to make such a voluminous Christmas tree. The principle of addition is very simple - you must first make fan circles of different sizes. And then these mugs are strung on the SAME ROD BASE (which we used in the previous Christmas tree). Or you can do it without a rod - just stick the tiers on top of each other (dropping a drop of glue in the middle of each "floor" of the Christmas tree.

Below we see the principle of creating such fans. They are made from a long strip of paper. The strip folds into an accordion. We turn the accordion into a ring (fastened at the edges with glue). After the glue has dried sew one side of the accordion ring with a needle and thread- tighten the thread (very carefully so as not to break through the paper) - and at the same time lay the accordion ring in a flat circle. We press on the middle of the resulting circle with some object - thereby we crush the convex ribs of the accordion so that they wrinkle and become a little flatter.

Different sizes of Christmas tree tiers are achieved by a simple principle- the narrower the strip for the accordion we have, the smaller the circumference of the fan resulting from it will be. Below in the photo you can see a detailed master class on creating such a Christmas tree out of paper.

Such a beautiful Christmas tree is obtained from bright paper napkins or from sheets of gift paper.

And if we put a BEAD between each tier of a fan Christmas tree made of paper, then we will get air, the space between the tiers of the Christmas tree (as is done in the photo of the paper Christmas tree below).

Idea #2

Christmas tree-box FROM PAPER.

But this method is the most convenient for beginners. Convenient in that here a simple drawing guarantees a 100% result in the form of a neat volumetric Christmas tree made of paper. Moreover, this Christmas tree can be used as a package for small gifts, if you hide jewelry or a perfume bottle inside.

Since the layout of the drawing above requires a large square piece of paper - I give a more economical way to spend paper space (template diagram in the photo below). You can cut the blades of the Christmas tree separately in two pieces. And then fold, glue them cross to cross.

Idea #3

BLADED Christmas tree made of cardboard.

And here is a paddle Christmas tree made of cardboard or thick paper. It's also very easy to make your own. To create such a Christmas tree, you can use ordinary packaging corrugated cardboard (as in the photo below).

How many blades-wings can such a Christmas tree made of cardboard have.

You can make a four-bladed Christmas tree by criss-crossing two flat pieces. To do this, in each silhouette of the Christmas tree, you need to make a cut along the central center line to the center of the Christmas tree. On one part, the incision is made on the TOP HALF of the silhouette - on the second part, the incision is located on the LOWER HALF of the silhouette.

I found such a stencil of a Christmas tree made of paper, but you can take any other shape of a Christmas tree with any lines of legs (smooth, rounded, twisted up, etc.).

If desired, such a Christmas tree cross can be placed on a base in the form of a cardboard roll (a saw cut from a toilet paper roll is suitable). On such a roll, we make 4 cuts (south, west, north, east) - and insert each of the four blades of our Christmas tree into these cuts.

But the blades of the Christmas tree can be more than four - FOR EXAMPLE you can make two silhouettes - 2 with a notch at the bottom and 2 with a notch at the top.

And then combine them into such a Christmas tree with the photo below - it will have as many as 8 blades(as in the photo below). Each blade can be pasted over with a different shade of green colored paper. As decoration paper, you can use gift paper with polka dots, rhombuses, flowers (as in the photo below)

Using a similar paddle technique, you can make beautiful balls-toys for such a Christmas tree - also from paper.

Idea #4

Christmas tree from paper circles.

And here is another idea for a voluminous Christmas tree made of paper. We make this Christmas tree from ordinary flat paper circles. We fold each circle repeatedly along the DIAMETER LINES. We align each fold edge with alternation - one up, one down, one up, one down, and so on. Detailed master class in the photo below.

You can improve this tree model if, in addition to everything, you bend half of every second such rib upwards - as if forming ladle shape(how it's done in the photo of a Christmas tree made of paper below). And in each such bent ladle-foot he will put a bright bead. And we will get an already decorated Christmas tree made of paper with a beautiful three-dimensional shape.

Idea #5

Flat herringbone IN ORIGAMI TECHNIQUE.

And here is another simple one example of origami technique to create a modular paper Christmas tree.

Here we simply fold paper modules from a square napkin (the napkin folds 2 times along the floors, and then unfolds and folds again 2 times in half but already DIAGONALLY.

Then we lay the napkin back and bend it along the lines formed so that each corner of the diagonal fold is like a separate blade.

From several of these bladed modules-tiers, we fold the Christmas tree - simply by gluing it onto a flat base. Often such an origami paper tree can be seen as an application for a New Year's card.

Idea #6

Christmas tree made of PAPER,

strung ON THE ROD.

If we have a rod that we made to stand exactly vertically and not fall, then by stringing a variety of paper silhouettes on it, we can get a Christmas tree craft.

The main rule to follow is to make sure that the bottom paper silhouettes are larger than the top ones. That is, so that the size of the parts decreases as you move up to the top of the tree.

The most important thing is to MAKE A ROD. How to quickly and easily make an axis-base from a cocktail tube, so that it turns out to be strong and inflexible.

But what herringbone (pictured below), which is made of STRIPS of felt, but it can also be made from strips of colored paper or cardboard).

Everything is also very simple. MATERIAL: cut stripes the colors we need, we take tube for cocktail(it is better to insert 2 turbos one into one to make it longer), cardboard(for the base circle), hole punch and stapler(either glue or thread with a needle. Now I will tell you in detail how we will make such a Christmas tree at home - with our own hands.

STEP ONE. We are preparing the base-rod for the Christmas tree-crafts.

And cut out 2 identical disc circles from cardboard. Leave one cardboard disc intact. And in the middle of the second disk we make a round hole (we punch it with a nail and expand it so that the tube from the cocktail crawls through). Wrapped in a cardboard disc cut the tube with scissors from the bottom side(vertical cuts of 1 cm each - chik-chik - how we cut straws to blow soap bubbles). We push these cuts apart like rays of the sun. And we get such a "beam-like spread-leg". We put this spreading leg on the second cardboard disk (the one that remained intact, without a hole).

And now BOTH DISC GLUE - and it turns out that the spreading leg is now with its rays, sandwiched-glued between the cardboard disks - and as a result, our cocktail tube stands EXACTLY VERTICALLY STRAIGHT.

STEP TWO. We string material for the “feathering” of the Christmas tree on the rod.

We cut the tape (fabric or paper or felt) into strips. Please note that the strips are not the same length. Each pair of strips is 1-2 cm smaller than the previous pair. In the center (middle) of the strips, we make holes with a hole punch (or cut with a nail or scissors). We string the strips onto a tube-rod - first long ones, then shorter ones and at the end the shortest ones.

And now we glue the strung strips (or sew them together with threads, or fasten them with a stapler) in pairs with an order such that we get an ACCORDING-ZIGZAG (as seen in the photo). We attach a star to the top of the tube - we also cut out two silhouettes of the star (front and back) - so that the top of the rod is hidden between the two sides of the star.

Idea #7

TIERED Christmas tree

from paper or cardboard.

And here is a nice voluminous Christmas tree made of cardboard. Here we also stocked up with paper circles of different sizes. The edge of the circles was made wavy. Then each circle was cut along the radius - and turned into a cone. And the cones were strung on a rod.

How exactly to string the cones on the rod so that there is air between them (and so that they do not fold like little bags into a friend) I will show using the example of white lacy Christmas trees made of paper, which we see in the photo below.

We will need a rod (wooden skewers will do). Large beads and paper lace napkins.

To make cones out of round napkins, we make a radial incision. We cut along the radius of the circle from the CENTRAL point to the edge.

Beads between the cones will not let them run into each other. And our Christmas tree will turn out to be airy.

You can make cone Christmas trees from spare pieces of wallpaper.

You can use sheets of colored office paper.

Idea #8

Crepe paper tree.

Here is another beautiful children's paper tree. Here we need a BASIS for a Christmas tree in the form of a high paper CONE. We cut out a semicircle from paper - and fold it into a bag of consu.

Crepe paper cut on long wide ribbons. Then along the paper tape we make incisions-fringe. Next, we wrap our paper conse with this fringed paper tape - starting from the bottom and gradually spiraling, turn by turn, moving towards the top. Each notched twist the petal into a curl.

Such a Christmas tree craft is suitable for school or the Skillful Hands circle in kindergarten.

Idea #9

Crepe paper tree.

And here is a convex Christmas tree from a paper cassette from eggs. Cut out the cells of the cassette holder in the fork of the triangle. We paint them green with gouache. Spray with nail polish (so that the gouache does not stain your hands and the color becomes brighter). And on each bottom of the cassette cell we glue a circle of colored paper. We cut out the silhouettes of a star of different sizes from cardboard and form a puff star.

Such a children's craft is convenient for conducting classes in a school creativity circle.

Idea #10

Volumetric Christmas tree from the CONE

(6 ways to decorate)

And here is another Christmas tree made on the basis of a high cardboard cone. We buy whatman paper (a large sheet of paper) - cut out a semicircle - bend it into a cone from a semicircle.

Here the main monotony of labor is in cutting circles of many hundreds. And then there is a gradual pasting with these circles in the form of scales - starting from the lower rows of the cone and gradually moving up to the top of the Christmas tree-cone. Children who often toil around idle in anticipation of the New Year holidays will be happy to be distracted by such a New Year's children's tree craft. And this is to your advantage, no one will wander around the kitchen and prevent you from preparing the New Year's table.

Such a cone-tree can be placed on a long stem. And put the rod on a plasticine pedestal. From plasticine we make a thick round cake. We bury the base of the rod in plasticine. We decorate the plasticine sole with cardboard and pieces of moss or other natural material (bark, peeled cone scales, etc.).

Pasting the Christmas tree-cone can be carried out loops from strips of paper. Or if you are too lazy to cut paper, you can buy a long roll of textile tape, cut it into segments, bend each segment into a loop and glue it on a cardboard cone - also in rows from bottom to top.

Can do from fabric (or from paper) triangular folds. Fold the square diagonally in half, and again in half. Layer the angles of the triangle on top of each other - so that the triangle curls up into a ladle. The barrel of the ladle will be glued to the cone-base of the Christmas tree.

As you understand, it is not necessary to use a fabric - you can take plain colored paper, crumpled crepe paper, or even newspaper (and then spray-paint it with paint).

You can also use it to decorate the Christmas tree. paper cups for baking cupcakes. As it is done in the picture below. Such a children's craft will be a real New Year's entertainment for your children. Simple and fast - and very beautiful.

Idea #11

Christmas tree with paper straw decor.

And here is another Christmas tree based on a paper cone. Here, fine paper shavings are used as the material for gluing the cone. You can find these shavings in fragile goods shipping boxes. Or cut such straws with your own office paper scissors - make a voluminous pile of shavings and decorate the Christmas tree with ordinary pva glue.

We also glue cones and Christmas balls on the cone - we put them on hot glue from a glue gun(sold in the construction departments of the store - it costs $ 5, the glue for it is very cheap in the form of rods).

The Christmas tree can be placed on a pedestal made of round log cuts. And crowned with a star. It is also not necessary to buy it - such a star can be made with your own hands from ordinary newsprint. How such a star is made, I told in the article

This is good too an option for a simple children's craft for the New Year. Because it's simple, easy and fast. Ideal for a 20-minute lesson in the Skillful Hands circle. The main thing is to prepare cones, straws and decorative material in advance.

Idea #12

Christmas tree

from paper rolls.

And here is a tree made of paper rolls. From ordinary sheets of paper (even from office drafts), we roll rolls, fasten them to a stapler or glue (so that they do not unfold).

In the photo below, we see that an ordinary glass goblet (or a vase for jam) was used as a stand for such a voluminous rolled Christmas tree.

According to this principle, you can make a bright Christmas tree if the rolls are twisted from colored table napkins.

You can put a rolled Christmas tree on a long stick-leg and stick it into a flower pot with earth.

Below is a classic way to create such a Christmas tree from paper rolls.

And here is a method where the bags are not glued to the base cone, but simply laid in radially circular rows.

Such paper bags can create a Christmas tree on any plane - on the wall or on the door to the office. A quick and easy way to make a beautiful office decoration for the New Year. I have collected even more ideas for New Year's decor for cabinets and office space in a special article.

Idea #13

Christmas tree in the technique of QVILLING.

(4 ways from flat to voluminous)

And here are paper Christmas trees made using the QVILLING technique. They can be flat as in the photo below.

It's simple.

STEP1 - paper is cut into strips.

STEP 2 - Each strip is twisted around a quilling rod (or a simple toothpick).

STEP 3 - The twist fits into the circle-hole of the stencil - and inside this round frame of the hole we relax the twist (so that it unfolds slightly, but within the specified size).

STEP 4 - Next, we carefully remove the twist from the stencil and glue its tail (so that the twist does not unwind further, but retains the size specified by the stencil. So we get round twists of the same size.

STEP 5 - Then we take a round twist and with our fingers we set the FORM of the twist - it can be TEAR-SHAPED (as in the photo with the Christmas tree below). And from such twists we glue our Christmas tree out of paper.

Such children's crafts can be offered in the classroom in the circle of school creativity. It can be done together with grandmothers and children for a competition in kindergarten.

The corners of the droplets can be slightly bent up (as in the photo of the Christmas tree below).

You can make Christmas trees using the quilling technique for any fantasy shape.

DOUBLE-LAYER Christmas tree in quilling technique.

But a Christmas tree made of paper in the same technique - where the quilling modules are not glued to a sheet of paper, but to themselves - that is, they stick together side by side. And such gluing of paper strands is stacked in two layers

Paper quilling tree - ON THE ROD.

Quilling twists can be placed on the rod. From cardboard we make a rod on the edges of which we will glue the twists. Here we see a striped Christmas tree, where the twist modules are attached to a central cardboard rod.

But the Christmas tree where the central rod made of cardboard has a hexagonal section - that is, this rod has 6 sides and 6 edges. On these flat sides we attach the base of the paper droplets. Please note that here the droplets are of different sizes - at the bottom there are large twists (made according to a large stencil-hole), and at the top there are smaller ones. We attach a rhinestone to the tip of each droplet.

You can glue the twist droplets with the sides down, as is done on the Christmas tree from the picture below.

A quilling twist can be placed around a round rod - and put the modules in a horizontal plane (as in the photo of the quilling paper Christmas tree below).

Fastening modules to a round rod will serve another flat piece of paper the same color. First wrap the paper around the rod on glue- we leave the tails sticking out on both sides of the rod - and strips between these ponytails we put our finished twist, and hug it, wrap it around with tails - gluing them to the twist. In order for such fasteners to hold better – we repeat it with another strip of paper (and, if necessary, with another strip) - so our twist will ideally keep its horizontal plane.

You can make a simple quilling herringbone from weak looped and curlicue twists from cardboard or thick non-quilling paper (as is done in the photo below).

Paper quilling tree - ON THE BASIS OF A CONE.

You can glue the twist modules not on the rod, but on the classic cone base.

The cone can be round(as in the photo above). Or the cone may have rectangular section- that is, to have ribs and flat sides (as in the photo below). On such planes cone-pyramid It is convenient to apply any quilling patterns. And we will get a patterned 3d Christmas tree.

You can connect children to such a craft. They will happily wind up the modules. And then they will help you glue the pyramid-tree with them. A good children's Christmas craft.

Idea #14

Christmas tree craft from bushings

from toilet paper

And here is another idea for a Christmas tree made of paper. Here, rolls of cardboard and paper of different diameters are taken as material. You can use rolls of scotch tape and masking tape, supplement them with toilet paper cardboard sleeves (shortening them to the height of scotch rolls), you can use narrow tubes from office fax paper (also cut into short lengths). Screw homemade rolls of cardboard.

And from such a prefabricated material, fold-glue a Christmas tree. Rolls can be glued to each other with a glue gun, or with double-sided tape. A simple craft that kids will love to do.

Only toilet paper rolls of the same size can be used. And fold them into a Christmas tree in the form of a pyramid. Pre-paint the rolls green, dry, glue. So that the gouache paint does not stick to your hands and does not dye clothes, the dyed and dried rolls need to be sprayed with hairspray - the paint will fix and the color will become brighter.

Inside each roll we put a Christmas ball (you can just put it or you can hang it by a hole in the roll) - instead of a ball put a large candy in a shiny wrapper. You can decorate the side of such a Christmas tree made of paper rudons with New Year's glass beads.

If you start collecting rolls in advance and involve all the staff of your company, then you can make a very tall large Christmas tree to decorate the office.

And here is another way to design a Christmas tree from paper rolls. There is a more economical consumption of material, since the herringbone empty inside. Just made from rolls rings– (rolls just stick together in a round dance with their sides. And then such round dance rings from rolls are placed on top of each other and Christmas tree balls are put into their sockets. Pre-paint the rolls in the desired color.

These are the ideas for a do-it-yourself paper Christmas tree I have collected today in this article. Now you can choose an easy and beautiful way to make a Christmas tree for yourself. Good luck with your New Year's creativity and beautiful Christmas trees. May everything work out now and in your New Year.

Happy New Year to the author of this article, Olga Klishevskaya.

You can create a New Year's atmosphere with handicrafts cut out of paper. They are called vytynanki, which means "cuttings". Here you can find silhouettes of New Year's heroes: Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden, snowmen, gnomes, various Christmas trees, balls and bells, snowflakes, snow-covered houses, figures of deer and cute animals.

Today we offer you stencils of New Year's vytynanok of various subjects. Let's be inspired by the actions of the masters and ready-made works to decorate windows, Christmas trees, postcards, New Year's scenes. These templates are easy to print on a sheet of white paper, cut out and stick on the window with soapy water, or fixed in other corners of the New Year's interior.

Small bulges can decorate a window or create a composition on a windowsill or table, larger cutouts can decorate walls in a room or on a stage.

These are the images you can get:

Stencils for vytynanok for the silhouette cut of the Snow Maiden and Santa Claus:

Choose your favorite stencil with the image of Santa Claus and his granddaughter. As a tool, you can use thin scissors, stationery knives, you will definitely need a lining board so as not to scratch the table.

Vytynanka tree

You can cut a Christmas tree using a stencil as a silhouette, or you can make a symmetrical cutout by folding a sheet of paper in half. We make a standing Christmas tree in one of the ways: we glue two symmetrical Christmas trees on an oval paper stand, or we fold each Christmas tree in half and glue it together.

Snowflakes and ballerinas

Snowflakes are very different. Especially if the master will apply all his imagination. So, you can cut out a symmetrical snowflake by folding the paper several times. See what pattern was applied in the form of a stencil and what an unusual tip the snowflakes have.

Inside the snowflake there can be a completely independent composition. For example, a New Year's snowman or a snowy forest.

Snowflakes can take the form of light snow ballerinas. To do this, we cut out the silhouette of a ballerina separately, put an openwork snowflake on it and hang it by a thread. It turns out a very delicate air decoration.

Christmas balls

Christmas decorations can be cut both in a symmetrical pattern and in an individual stencil. These decorations can be added to the composition on the window, dressed up for the Christmas tree, attached with threads to a chandelier or curtain.

bells

We make carved bells on a stencil. If translucent paper, such as tracing paper, is glued on the inside of the cutout, then such a bell can be used with a backlight effect.

Reindeer, sleigh, wagon

Another fabulous New Year's hero is a deer. The delivery of the wizard Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden is connected with him. We offer stencils for carving deer, carts and sleighs.

snowmen

Charming good-natured snowmen must decorate the New Year's house. Their figures are simply cut out symmetrically, or you can make a “family photo of Snowmen” or a composition with a Christmas tree and children.

Numbers of the New Year

You can cut out beautiful numbers for the upcoming New Year using these templates:

Animals, signs and symbols

You can make a custom Christmas decoration. To do this, cut out paper silhouettes of your favorite pets, heroes of fairy tales and cartoons, birds and animals in a fabulous winter forest.

Cut out the figures of the sun and moon using stencils, complete your composition.

snow covered houses

It will be very cozy if there is a snow-covered house in the New Year's picture on the window. It can be a small hut or a whole palace.

Children

Who is waiting for the New Year and Santa Claus the most? Well, of course, children! With the help of silhouette paper cutting, we make figurines of kids near the Christmas tree, with gifts, singing and dancing, in a word, we bring the true atmosphere of the holiday!

Candle

We offer options for vytynanok - candles. They can be independent or combined with balls, bells, branches and bows.

Nativity

By Christmas, you can cut out thematic vytynanki dedicated to the events and circumstances of this event. It can be the silhouettes of Jerusalem, images of angels, shepherds and magicians. And don't forget the Star of Bethlehem!

You can separately cut out the silhouette of the Star of Bethlehem:

The central place among the Christmas vytynanok should certainly be given to the Nativity crib - the cave in which the Savior was born. The nursery of the Divine Child is comfortably surrounded by hay and domestic animals.

Illuminated composition

Openwork paper cutouts can decorate not only the window, but also create a three-dimensional panorama on the windowsill. It will be especially effective if you put a garland or a small backlight inside the box.

Engage in the design of New Year's decorations - vytynanok from paper with the children. This is not only useful for developing imagination, training fine motor skills of the hands, but will also give you a lot of pleasure from joint creativity, and then from contemplating the resulting beauty!

Openwork Christmas trees made of paper.2 MK plus several schemes / templates

Ideas and diagrams on how to cut an openwork Christmas tree.

For work you need:
- White paper,
- stationery knife, cutting board or thick cardboard,
- nail scissors,
- paperclips or stapler
- glue.
1. The stage of creating an openwork Christmas tree
We select and print a diagram or template of our future Christmas tree. This is one version of the template, at the end of this page I am attaching other options for the pattern of openwork Christmas trees.

2. We put a sheet of thick cardboard under the template and fasten the sheet and cardboard with paper clips or a stapler so that the sheet holds tightly.
3. Using a clerical knife, cut out the patterns inside the Christmas tree, and then proceed to cutting the Christmas tree along the contour using small nail scissors. Please note that we will need two identical parts of the Christmas tree






4. When the two parts of our openwork Christmas tree are ready, fasten them with glue at the bottom, as shown in the picture.


There is another option, how to make an openwork Christmas tree!
To do this, we need to take three sheets of paper and fold them in half lengthwise


Then you need to print this or another template you like and cut it along the fold line

Curved sheets must be laid on top of each other so that the fold of each is on the right. And on top we put our template, or rather, its half

Using paper clips or a stapler, we fix the sheets

Using small but sharp scissors, cut out the Christmas tree along the contour.

Using a clerical knife or nail scissors, cut out the internal elements of the Christmas tree


We look at what happened ... but it should have turned out three parts, as shown in the illustration


The next step in creating an openwork Christmas tree: you need to open the details, fold them evenly and sew them along the fold line with a thread

And a few more options for patterns or patterns in order to cut an openwork Christmas tree

And from this scheme, such a beautiful openwork Christmas tree is also obtained!




Print out a paper Christmas tree template or create your own. If you decide to create a drawing yourself, then fold a sheet of paper and draw a Christmas tree, and then depict a semblance of an openwork pattern inside it. After the stencil, you need to cut it out with a clerical / dummy knife

The Christmas tree is the most important idea for creativity in preparation for the New Year. Plots of New Year's cards, toys, home decorations revolve around her. And it is not surprising that even there are a huge number of ways to make a Christmas tree from such a simple material as paper. And each option is different from the other.

Some crafts are easy to make and even a child can make them, others require a certain skill, perseverance. Some models of volumetric Christmas trees are not ashamed to give, they look like works of art.

Selecting the required material

To make a Christmas tree out of paper with your own hands, a wide variety of paper and cardboard is used. In most cases, this is ordinary colored paper and cardboard, although Christmas trees made from corrugated paper also look interesting. In addition to colored paper and cardboard, often required:

• scissors;
• ruler;
• pencil;
• glue;
• stapler;
• stationery knife;
• wire.

For postcards: simple but original

To begin with, let's look at Christmas trees that look great on postcards or as New Year's toys on large forest beauties.

A simple version of the Christmas tree consists of several squares of paper or cardboard rectangles of different sizes:

1. Cut out five squares from paper from largest to smallest. If you're making a Christmas tree out of designer cardboard, cut out 2:1 aspect ratio rectangles and go straight to step 3.
2. Fold them in half.
3. Fold the top corners down towards the middle. So that the free edges are at the bottom.
4. Start gluing from the top.
5. The top corner of each module must overlap the previous part.

A similar modular Christmas tree is made up of 5 origami modules. This model, made of designer cardboard, can be hung on a Christmas tree. See the step-by-step master class. Squares can be made in any size, but they do not have to be the same. For example, make the largest square with sides 10 cm, and let the others differ from each other by one centimeter.

	Take a square sheet of designer cardboard.
	Fold it in half diagonally, then unfold and connect the other two corners.
	On a sheet of cardboard, you should get these fold lines.
	Now, along these fold lines inward, we start one of the faces of the cardboard pyramid.
	Then we put the opposite side inside.
	We smooth the folds with our fingers.
	On both sides, we got two free edges. We take the top layer by the corner and bend it to the middle of the triangle.
	We do the same on the other side.
	The module can be glued to the postcard using double-sided tape.
	Subsequent modules are nested inside the previous ones in turn. It turned out the original Christmas tree. Glue a ribbon or thread through the top of the tree to hang it as a decoration.

We offer you to study the step-by-step instructions for making a paper Christmas tree from loops. It is suitable for making postcards, appliqués or hanging decorations if you attach a loop to it. From the materials you need only a square sheet of green colored paper. Also, prepare a ruler, pencil, scissors and glue.

	We take a square sheet of paper. If you have an A4 paper, fold it diagonally with the sides aligned and cut off the excess.
	We retreat from the fold one centimeter and draw a parallel line with a simple pencil.
	Set aside one centimeter along one of the cut lines.
	Then we draw parallel lines, connecting the points with a line parallel to the fold.
	We cut two sides at once along the lines, having previously secured a sheet of paper with paper clips so that it does not move.
	Then we unfold the workpiece.
	Now the task is to glue all the strips to the middle. First, we perform the operation with one side. Then on the other.
	Cut off the top at an angle.
	At the top, you can cut a star out of red paper and glue it with glue.

To decorate a postcard, a Christmas tree made of paper tubes is suitable.

1. It is necessary to cut several strips of different lengths from colored paper, cardboard, remnants of wrapping paper, candy wrappers.
2. A round pencil will serve as a template.
3. Just wrap a strip of paper around the pencil, placing it lengthwise.
4. Glue the tube along the cut.
5. From the finished tubes, form a Christmas tree.

The Christmas tree is placed not only outside the postcard, but also inside. When opening the postcard, it turns into a three-dimensional figure. And it's very easy to make it. It is necessary to fold several sheets of colored paper of different sizes with an accordion and glue it to opposite sides of the postcard.

Try folding a triangular sheet of paper like an accordion from the base to the top.

Volumetric models: schemes, instructions, master classes

Light options for voluminous Christmas trees can be made in half an hour with your child. And most of the time will take its decoration.

cone based

The simplest option is a cone made of colored cardboard or a regular landscape sheet wrapped in colored paper or corrugated paper. First, take a sheet, roll it into a cone, secure the edges with a stapler or glue. cut the cone so that it is stable.

If corrugated paper is planned on top, then it is best to put it on double-sided tape. Cut off thin strips of tape and stick along the cone in several places. Wrap the cone with paper, tuck the excess edges inward.

You can decorate such Christmas trees with buttons, ribbons, bows, rhinestones, carved pictures, in general, whatever your heart desires. Decorations are simply glued on.

But this is a “smooth” Christmas tree, and there are also options with “needles”, also based on a cone. Corrugated paper "needles" may look like this:

Just make a fringe out of paper. After gluing the needles in a circle on the cone, you get the following result:

The needles can be curled a little so that it does not fit too tightly to the base, but is fluffy, for this they use a pencil or scissors. The paper is wound onto a pencil, and the tip of the scissors is drawn along the fringe.

And how do you like the Christmas tree for the New Year, in which the needles are made of circles of green paper of different shades? It looks beautiful, but the work is painstaking and will take time.

There is another manufacturing option.

The base is a cone, which is pasted over in a spiral with a pigtail of crumpled paper. Glue is applied to the base. The tape is slightly overlapped.

Fir-trees-vytynanka

Openwork voluminous Christmas trees made of paper using the vytynanka technique are original in themselves, and if they are also decorated with beads, then their charm will have no limits.

In order to make such beauty, you will need a clerical knife or nail scissors (they are not very convenient to work with), but first of all you need a template. Pre-print the template or simply transfer the drawing you like to paper from the monitor screen. It is best to cut the pattern with a knife, placing a wooden board. The number of parts at your discretion: from 2 pieces or more. The more details, the more magnificent the Christmas tree. When all the details are cut out, put them together, sew with a running stitch with a needle and thread along and bend so that the sectors are evenly spaced.

We suggest you choose the appropriate templates:

We considered the case when the parts are fastened in the middle, but there are options when they are glued along the edges. For this, 4 parts are used. During gluing, the edges should be clamped with paper clips so that the parts do not stick out.

Origami

Previous options for making bulky Christmas trees have all involved cutting and gluing. But it can be done by folding. This method refers to the ancient Japanese art of origami. See how to make a figurine in the video.

Modular

Paper Christmas trees, which are assembled from modules, are common. For example, from circles of cardboard. You will need:

• compass;
• scissors;
• wooden stick;
• glue;
• beads;
• base.

Draw a circle on a sheet of cardboard with a compass, cut it out. Fold four times. Cut off the tip from the top. Then form an accordion along the folds. Then you should string the parts on a skewer. They start from the top, glue is applied to the hole in the bottom part so that the part does not slide along the skewer. The basis can serve as a spool of thread, a wine cork. The scheme is clearly shown in the photo.

Modules are also performed using the quilling technique. For example, from 9 tiers of 6 quilling droplets in each, a wonderful Christmas tree is obtained.

In addition to paper, you will need scissors, glue and a wooden skewer.

1. Cut out narrow strips from a sheet of paper.
2. Fold the droplets and rings using the quilling technique.
3. Make a base around the skewer.
4. Put a ring on the skewer, secure with glue.
5. Then assemble a module of six drops, gluing them together, and put them on a skewer.
6. Then again comes the ring and the new module.
7. So alternate to the very top.

Note! Modules must be different sizes. Start with the largest in diameter, end with the smallest.

It is quite difficult and time-consuming to make a Christmas tree that looks like this:

This is another stylized Christmas tree made of round elements. To make it, you will need several circles of paper of different diameters and a wire on which these circles will subsequently be fixed. The circle is divided into 12 sectors with a pencil, cut them without reaching the middle and glue each petal.

The process is shown in detail in the video.
