  1. We take any colored sheet, fold it to make a cone, fix the edge with glue and remove the excess with scissors. The base is ready.
  2. Let's move on to tinsel. Starting from the base, we pass with glue in dotted movements and from above, we wind the tinsel spirally to the very crown. If there is an asterisk suitable in size, then you can fix it.
  3. Candy is attached to the tree around it with glue or thread. It is advisable to use 1-3 colors of candies so that it is harmonious and not clumsy.

DIY Christmas tree made of colored paper

To make a paper tree, we need:

  1. Paper (the more paper the better),
  2. Glue,
  3. Scissors,
  4. Pencil or pen
  5. Decorative materials for decoration.
  • We cut out a circle from paper, with which we make a cone for our Christmas tree.
  • The easiest option would be to paint the tree with any colors and
    add a few beads for volume, securing them with glue.

The tree is ready.

Also, after we have made the cone, we can cut a huge number of small circles, each of which we attach to the tree with glue, smearing only half of it, and bending a little with the second. As a result, we get a voluminous tree.





How to make a cute Christmas tree from paper snowflakes and skewers for a mini barbecue: instructions, photo

A variant of a Christmas tree made of paper snowflakes and wooden skewers for a mini-barbecue.

  • Cut out snowflakes, as shown in the picture below, of different diameters. The top one is the smallest, and then we increase the radius of the circle by 1.5 - 2 times. How do you like the splendor of the Christmas tree. The more we increase the diameter, the more magnificent the tree is.
  • Cut the snowflake to the center of the circle. Cut out a segment at the upper snowflake 1/3 of the circle. Cut out 1/4 of the circle from the second (middle) snowflake and cut out 1/5 of the circle from the third (bottom).
  • We glue the edges of the snowflakes so that we get cones, as in the picture below.
  • We string snowflakes on a skewer and get beautiful Christmas trees that are suitable for decorating a festive table and interior.
  • The skewer can be stuck into fruits, dishes, into a piece of styrofoam, as in the picture below. It all depends on your imagination.


Christmas tree made of paper palms: instructions, photo

Interesting and unusual can be called a "Christmas tree made of palms". These can be the pens of family members or students of a school, a particular class or group.

There are many options. The ideological goal of such a tree is to unite a certain number of people.



In order to make a Christmas tree out of palms, we need:

  • glue,
  • felt-tip pen,
  • scissors and
  • several sheets of paper (the number depends on which tree we want to see in the end). Small - up to 7 palms, medium - 12-15, large - more than 20.

We take a person's hand, draw a contour, cut it out and stick it on the wall, drawing paper, cone or something else. We do this until the size of our tree suits us as much as possible.

For the top, you can cut out a star, and decorate the entire perimeter with tinsel or small balls made of a contrasting color of paper. This will create the effect of an ornate Christmas tree.

From these palms, you can make various figures to decorate houses, kindergartens and schools.

Craft - a Christmas tree from the pages of a magazine

Another of the unusual crafts is a "tree from a magazine".

A magazine with at least 200 pages and glossy pages is ideal. The thick cover can be removed. Now patience and time.

  • We fold each upper right corner of all pages towards us at 45 degrees.
  • We wrap all the lower corners that go beyond the boundaries up.
  • We add the further pages of the magazine in the same way.
  • It turns out an accordion. When it comes to an end, we see an interesting Christmas tree that can decorate any office all year round.


Christmas tree from old unnecessary children's coloring pages: a description of the manufacture, a photo



You should not rush to throw out your child's already painted magazines, because the New Year is ahead and everything will be useful to us. So,

  • we take the usual paper cone, which we already love,
  • glue,
  • scissors and
  • coloring, which we cut into the longest strips, 3 cm wide.

We will now make a garland out of it. We fold our strips and glue them together horizontally, after that, along the length of the entire garland, we make vertical cuts in half the width and with a frequency of no more than 5 mm.

Create a "comb" effect and then simply glue it around the cone of the entire tree. Thus, the "teeth of the comb" turn into "prickly needles" of our Christmas tree.

There are a lot of ways to make a Christmas tree with your own hands from paper, we have considered the simplest and, at the same time, the most unusual.

DIY Christmas tree topiary from napkins: instruction, photo





I want to say right away that a Christmas tree made of napkins always differs from other crafts with its visual airiness and tenderness. Some people do not immediately manage to understand what material it is made of.
Fans of topiary will like this option of creating a Christmas tree with their own hands. In order to make a topiary Christmas tree, we need the following materials:

  1. Napkins,
  2. Styrofoam cone,
  3. Glue gun,
  4. A decorated rod that will hold our tree (they often take a regular tree branch and disguise it under decorations),
  5. Small pot,
  6. Gypsum (gypsum plaster will work too)
  7. Beads on a string or other jewelry.
  • We mix the gypsum with water, pour the mixture into a pot, fix the holder for the tree in it and put the cone of our tree on it.
  • With the help of templates we draw circles on napkins and, bending over the edges, we make "mini-roses" from each napkin.
  • Further, each decoration, using a glue gun, is applied to the cone, filling the entire space.
  • You can put a few of these "Mini-roses" on top of our pot to arrange our entire craft in style.
  • We wind tinsel (beads on a string) around the entire perimeter of our tree, anything that looks beautiful will do.

Our do-it-yourself napkin tree is ready.



Napkins for such e The lacquers can be of the same color, or you can take 2 colors and combine them beautifully. Incorporating your imagination into this project will give great results.

If you are not a fan of topiary, then a napkin tree can be made on a regular cardboard cone, completely repeating the above process. Another version of the napkin tree.

We will succeed, inside which there will be a surprise - a bottle of champagne.



Making a Christmas tree from plastic bottles: photo, diagram and description of manufacturing

At home, the most common method is to make a Christmas tree from plastic bottles. List of necessary items:

Making a Christmas tree from plastic bottles
  1. Green plastic bottles,
  2. Paper,
  3. Glue gun and glue stick.

  • We roll up the sheet with a tube to get a diameter of 1-2 centimeters.
  • We cut the bottle into strips 2-5 centimeters wide and no more than the length that will wrap our paper tube.
  • We cut the plastic strips perpendicularly to get the "comb effect".
  • We dig a smooth edge with glue and attach it around the paper tube.
  • The longer the needles of our Christmas tree, the more beautiful.
  • It is advisable to calculate the length so that the bottom is wider than the top, keeping the proportions of a real tree.


The craft can be left like this, or you can decorate it with additional accessories made of paper, cardboard or other materials.


You can hang real Christmas balls on such a tree, only of a small size, so our craft will look more real.

In conclusion, I would like to say that there are many ways to make a Christmas tree with your own hands.

The main thing is to show imagination and try.

Self-made gifts always delight much more than ordinary figurines bought in a store.

Making crafts together with children brings not only joy, but also real benefits, because during such activities, mutual understanding between parent and child is formed, tactile sensations develop.

DIY Christmas tree options from plastic bottles

Good afternoon, today I am uploading the largest selection of Christmas trees made of paper. Here you will see the most interesting models- there will be Christmas trees made of 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 rolled from book pages. In this a selection of master classes we will consider only paper versions of the most beautiful Christmas trees with our own hands - both flat models and volumetric designs. Here are ideal options for crafts for the New Year's school competition.

So let's get started.

Idea number 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 string these circles on the SAME ROD BASE (which we used in the previous Christmas tree). Or it is possible without a rod - just stick the tiers on top of each other (dripping 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 fold the accordion into a ring (fastened along the edges with glue). After the glue dries - stitch one side of the accordion ring with a needle thread- we pull together the thread (very carefully so as not to break the paper) - and at the same time we put the accordion ring in a flat circle. We press on the middle of the resulting circle with some object - thereby we press the convex edges of the accordion so that they wrinkle and become a little more flat.

Different sizes of herringbone tiers are achieved by a simple principle- the narrower we have a strip for an accordion, the smaller the circumference of the fan obtained 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 you put a BEAD between each tier of a fan-shaped 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 number 2

Herringbone-box FROM PAPER.

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

Since the layout of the drawing above requires a large square piece of paper, I give a more economical way to use the paper space (the diagram of the chaplons 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 number 3

BLADE Christmas tree made of cardboard.

And here is a bladed Christmas tree made of cardboard or thick paper. It is also very easy to do it yourself. To create such a tree, you can use ordinary corrugated packaging cardboard (as in the photo below).

How many blades-wings can such a cardboard Christmas tree have?

You can make a four-bladed Christmas tree - if you cross two flat pieces together. To do this, in each silhouette of the Christmas tree, you need to make an incision along the central centerline to the center of the Christmas tree. On one part, an incision is made on the UPPER HALF of the silhouette - on the second part, the incision is located on the BOTTOM HALF of the silhouette.

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

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

But a herringbone can have more than four blades - 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 a finishing paper, you can use gift paper with polka dots, diamonds, flowers (as in the photo below)

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

Idea number 4

Christmas tree made of paper circles.

And here is another idea for a volumetric Christmas tree made of paper. We make this tree from ordinary flat paper circles. We fold each circle many times along DIAMETER LINES. We align each edge of the fold with alternation - one up, the second down, one up, the second down, etc. A detailed master class in the photo below.

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

Idea number 5

Flat herringbone IN ORIGAMI TECHNIQUE.

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

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

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

From several such blade modules-tiers, we fold the herringbone - simply by gluing it on a flat base. Often such an origami paper tree can be seen as an applique on a New Year's card.

Idea number 6

Christmas tree made of PAPER,

strung ON the ROD.

If we have a rod, which we made to stand exactly upright and not fall, then by stringing a variety of paper silhouettes onto 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 easy and quick to make an axis-base from a cocktail tube, so that it turns out to be strong and unbending.

But what herringbone (pictured below), which is made from STRIPES 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 glue stick(it is better to insert 2 turbines one into one to make it longer), cardboard(for the base circle), hole punch, and stapler(either glue or threads 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 discs of cardboard. Leave one cardboard disc intact. And in the middle of the second disc we make a round hole (we pierce it with a nail and expand it so that the tube from the cocktail crawls through). Thrown into a cardboard disc cut the tube with scissors from the bottom side(vertical cuts of 1 cm - chick-chick - how we cut straws to inflate soap bubbles). We push these cuts to the sides like rays of the sun. And we get such a "beam-shaped spread-leg". We put this spreading leg on the second cardboard disc (the one that remained intact, without a hole).

And now we Glue BOTH DISCS - and it turns out that the leg-spreading is now with its rays, clamped-glued between the cardboard disks - and as a result, our cocktail tube stands EXACTLY VERTICAL RIGHT.

STEP TWO... We string the material for the "plumage" of the Christmas tree on the rod.

Cut the tape (fabric or paper or felt) into strips. Please note that the stripes are not of the same length. Each pair of stripes 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 on a tube-rod - first the long ones, then the shorter ones, and at the end the shortest ones.

And now we glue the strung strips (or sew them with threads, or fasten them with a stapler) in pairs with a sequence such that we get a HARMONY-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 rear) - so that the top of the rod is hidden between the two sides of the asterisk.

Idea number 7

Tier tree

made of paper or cardboard.

And here is a nice volumetric cardboard tree. 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 the rod.

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

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

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

Beads between the cones will prevent them from colliding with each other. And our Christmas tree will turn out to be airy.

You can make conical trees from spare pieces of wallpaper.

You can use sheets of colored office paper.

Idea number 8

Christmas tree made of crepe paper.

Here is another beautiful paper tree for children. Here we need a BASE for the tree in the form of a tall paper CONE. Cut out a semicircle from the paper - and fold it into a bag for the consu.

We cut the crepe paper on long wide ribbons... Then along the paper tape make cuts-fringe. Next, we wrap our paper consumable with this fringed paper tape - starting from the bottom and gradually spiraling, coil by coil, moving to the top. Each incised twist the petal into a curl.

Such a Christmas tree-craft is suitable for classes at school or a circle of Skillful Pens in kindergarten.

Idea number 9

Christmas tree made of crepe paper.

And here is a convex Christmas tree made of a paper egg cassette. Cut out the cells of the cassette holder in the shape of the triangle. We paint them green with gouache. We 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. Cut out silhouettes of stars of different sizes from cardboard and form a layered star.

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

Idea number 10

Volumetric tree made of CONE

(6 ways to make decor)

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

Here is the main monotony of labor in cutting multi-hundred circles. 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 the tree-cone. Children who often toss around in anticipation of the New Year holidays will be happy to be distracted by such a Christmas tree for children. And this is good for you, no one will wander around the kitchen and interfere with you preparing the New Year's table.

Such a cone-tree can be put on a long rod-leg. And put the rod on a plasticine pedestal. We make a thick round cake from plasticine. 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 a Christmas tree-cone can be carried out loops from strips of paper. Or if you are too lazy to cut the paper, you can buy a long skein of textile tape, cut it into pieces, bend each piece into a loop and glue it onto a cardboard cone - also in rows from bottom to top.

Can be done fabric (or paper) triangular folds. Fold the square diagonally in half, and again in half. Lay the bites of the triangle on top of each other - so that the triangle curls up into a ladle. We will glue the side of the ladle to the cone-base of the tree.


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

And for pasting a Christmas tree, you can use paper muffins for baking muffins online... How it is done in the picture below. Such a children's craft will be a real New Year's fun for your children. Simple and fast - and very beautiful.

Idea number 11

Christmas tree with paper straw decor.

And here is another Christmas tree based on a paper cone. Here, fine paper chips are used as the material for pasting the cone. You can find these chips in boxes for shipping fragile goods. Or cut such a straw with 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 to 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 - you can make such a star with your own hands from ordinary newsprint. How such a star is made, I told in the article

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

Idea number 12

Christmas tree

from paper rolls.

And here is a tree made of paper rolls. We roll up rolls from ordinary sheets of paper (even from office drafts), attach them to a stapler or glue (so as not to unfold).

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

By this principle, you can make a bright Christmas tree if you twist the rolls from table colored napkins.

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

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

But the method where the bags are not glued to the cone-base, but simply laid radially in 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 offices and office premises in a special article.


Idea number 13

Christmas tree in the QUILLING technique.

(4 ways from flat to volumetric)

And here are the Christmas trees made of paper, made using the QUILLING technique. They can be flat like in the photo below.

It's simple.

STEP 1 - the 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 set 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 DROPLET (as in the photo with the herringbone below). And from such twists we glue our Christmas tree out of paper.

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

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

You can make Christmas trees using the quilling technique for any fancy shapes.

TWO-LAYER Christmas tree using quilling technique.

But a Christmas tree made of paper in the same technique - where quilling modules are glued not on a sheet of paper but on themselves - that is, they are glued sideways to each other. And such gluing of paper strings is stacked in two layers.


Quilling tree made of paper - ON THE ROD.

The twist quilling can be placed on the stem. From cardboard we make a rod on the edges of which we will glue the twists. Here we see a striped herringbone where the twist modules are attached to a central cardboard rod.

And here is a herringbone where the central core made of cardboard has a hexagon section - that is, this core has 6 sides and 6 edges. On these flat sides, we attach the base of the paper droplets. Please note that there are droplets of different sizes - at the bottom there are large swirls (made according to a large stencil-hole), and at the top there are smaller ones. We attach a rhinestone to the tip of each drop.

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

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

Fastening modules to a round bar will serve another even strip of paper the same color. First, we wrap the paper around the rod. on glue- we leave the tails sticking out on both sides of the rod - and stripes between these ponytails we put our ready-made twist, and hug it, wrap our tails around it - gluing them to the twist. For such fasteners to hold better – we repeat it with one more strip of paper (and, if necessary, with another strip) - this way our twist will perfectly keep its horizontal plane.

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

Quilling tree made of paper - BASED ON A CONE.

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

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

You can connect children to such a craft. They will be happy to wind up the modules. And then they will help you to paste over the pyramid-tree with them. Nice children's New Year's craft.

Idea number 14

Christmas tree-craft from bushings

from toilet paper

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

And from such a prefabricated material, fold and glue the Christmas tree. Rolls can be glued together with a glue gun, or with double-sided tape. A simple craft in which children will take part with pleasure.

You can only use toilet paper rolls of the same size. And fold a Christmas tree out of them in the form of a pyramid. We pre-paint the rolls green, dry, glue. So that the gouache paint does not stick to your hands and does not dye your clothes, painted and dried rolls need to be sprayed with hairspray - the paint will fix and the color will become brighter.

We put a Christmas ball inside each roll (you can just put it or hang it by a hole in the roll) - you can instead of a ball put a large candy in a shiny wrapper... You can decorate the bochina of such a Christmas tree made of paper ores 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.

Here's another way to design a Christmas tree from paper rolls. Here, a more economical consumption of material, since the herringbone empty inside... Just rolls are made 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 balls are put into their sockets. We pre-paint the rolls in the desired color.

These are the ideas for a Christmas tree made of paper with my own hands, I have collected today in this article. Now you can choose a simple and beautiful way to make a Christmas tree for yourself. Good luck with your New Year's creativity and beautiful Christmas trees, crafts. May everything work out now and in your New Year.

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

Time flies by. It would seem that just recently we were celebrating the New Year and celebrating Christmas, but outside the window it’s already autumn. With the onset of the first cold weather, there is a desire to start preparing for the upcoming holidays, delighting yourself and your loved ones with a small miracle. And first of all, the question arises about the acquisition of the most important attribute of the New Year - a Christmas tree. Without this fluffy beauty, the mood will be completely different. And the holiday will seem fake.

But the question of acquiring a traditional tree can be approached creatively. Just connect your own imagination and ingenuity to create a fluffy beauty with your own hands, using unnecessary materials lying around in the house.

What can you make a Christmas tree craft from? Anything! And it's better if you do this with your children. They will also enjoy this process immensely.

What kind of Christmas tree can you make so that it will delight your loved ones and guests, and also bring the feeling of a real holiday? There are a few tips to get to know before getting started.

The first one concerns the form. As a rule, Christmas trees are made in the form of a cone or an isosceles triangle. In this case, the form does not have to be correct. You can make a Christmas tree craft at an angle and with any number of tiers.

The next tip is about the color of your product. And it doesn't have to be green. You can make your Christmas tree craft white, yellow, silver, gold, or even blue. Do not be afraid to deviate from the standard rules, because your fluffy beauty should be a real miracle.

A very important point in the work is the fastening of the craft. This will need to be thought out in advance. The details of the Christmas tree can be fastened with tape or glue, wire and other materials. At the same time, it should be borne in mind that this will need to be done carefully and reliably, because the Christmas tree should please with its appearance and withstand throughout all the holidays.

Particular attention should be paid to the top. According to tradition, this detail serves as a decoration for the spruce dome. For your tree, any toy, star, ball, or just a curved spiral can become the top. It will be interesting to look at the decoration in the form of a symbol of the coming year or an angel.

Origami

What can be used to make a Christmas tree? The easiest and fastest way to make it is to use paper. In addition, made in miniature sizes, such a craft will become a wonderful New Year's toy.

How can you do To do this, you will need to prepare in advance all the materials necessary for work:
- Sheets of paper, which can be magazine, book, or just blank;
- stapler;
- scissors;
- glue;
- glitter or spray paint;
- a ribbon or paper clip in order to hang the craft on the Christmas tree.

Getting started, all the sheets must be put in a pile and fastened with a stapler. Next, you should draw the outline of the Christmas tree with a pencil and cut it out. The next stage of work is to bend the leaves and paint them with glitter glue or spray paint. The finishing touch is to glue on a ribbon or attach a paper clip.

The second manufacturing method is more troublesome. However, the beauty of the resulting craft will certainly delight you. So, for work you will need:
- book pages;
- cardboard;
- glue;
- scissors;
- mini toys, stars and ribbons for decorating the Christmas tree.

The first stage of work consists in making a cardboard base in the form of a cone. Next, you should put the leaves one on one and make cuts on them, but only on one side. After that, the entire base is pasted over. This places the uncut side of the paper over the cone. To cover the top, you will need to make a "lid". That's all. The tree is ready. It can now be coated with glitter or spray paint.

What can be used to make a Christmas tree for the competition of artificial green beauties? Instead of ordinary paper for making trees, you can take corrugated paper. Such material will be a valuable find for a home designer. A Christmas tree made of corrugated paper will look unusual and very beautiful. She will certainly stand out among other crafts.

What can be used to make a Christmas tree? The base of your craft may not be a cardboard cone, but a tube. This piece can be purchased from a hardware store or glued from a few leftover toilet paper rolls. With this option, the cone is made of colored paper, fastened to cardboard with tape. At the end of the work, the top of our Christmas tree will need to be decorated with a ribbon bow.

As a basis for making a New Year's beauty, you can take polystyrene foam. Strips of paper folded in the form of needles are attached to it.

The herringbone can also be made in the form of a panel. For such a craft, you will need to cut strips from paper, and then twist them into tubes of different lengths. Further, all the details are glued to the base in the shape of a herringbone. The finished product is decorated at your own discretion.

What else can you make a Christmas tree from? From toilet paper. This option for making a New Year's beauty is the simplest and most economical. At the initial stage of work, a cone is constructed, the material for which is white cardboard. The dimensions of this part can vary and depend on the desired height of the final product. Next, toilet paper is taken. It should not have tear-off strips, that is, the cheapest option will do. The toilet paper should be folded longitudinally, and then, having gathered it up, stick it on the cone from the base to the top like an American skirt.

At the same time, the strip must remain solid. The Christmas tree obtained in this way should be decorated with green gouache. At this stage, children can be involved in the work.

What can you make a Christmas tree toy made of such a thin material? From the same toilet paper. A piece of it should be rolled in the form of a ball, coated with PVA glue, decorated and glued to the tree.

Crafts from cones

In order to bring joy to your family and friends, what can you do for the New Year? Christmas tree made of cones. For many, working with this natural material will be a real pleasure.

They are considered to be some of the most beautiful. In addition, this is one of the best options for those who think about the following question: "What can be used to make a Christmas tree for the competition of homemade New Year's trees?"

There are several options. The easiest and simplest of them involves creating a cone of the desired size and gluing cones to it. Work should start from the bottom, gradually moving towards the top of the cone. What Christmas tree toys can be made from cones? The finished craft is painted or decorated with bows, sweets, toys, tinsel, etc.

What can you make a Christmas tree (see photo below)? The second method of making a New Year's beauty involves the use of not whole cones, but their scales.

The basis of such a tree will be the same cardboard cone. Scales of cones are glued to it from the bottom in a circle, which will play the role of needles. At the final stage of the work, the herringbone is covered with green, silver or gold paint. As an additional decoration, sparkles are glued to the tips of the needles.

The basis for a Christmas tree made of cones can be a cone cut out of polystyrene foam. It will need to be painted in some dark color. For crafts, you will also need wire.

One end of it is wrapped around the tail of the cones, and the other is straightened. After the required number of such blanks has been made, they will need to be attached to the base. For this, the free end of the wire is inserted into the foam.

Autumn option

What can you make a Christmas tree for the New Year? From dry leaves. To do this, the material harvested in the fall is glued to a paper cone, creating a wonderful tree. Such a tree will be made from twigs of walnut and cherry, holly and salal, ruskus, etc. Bay leaves are also suitable as a green material.

There are two ways to make such a tree. The first of them involves gluing the leaves to a cardboard cone created in the right sizes. The crown of such a tree is formed from top to bottom. In this case, the leaves are glued one above the other.

The next method of making an "autumn" Christmas tree is somewhat more complicated. At its first stage, a base is made in the form of an ordinary cardboard cone. Further, at the ends of the twigs with leaves, holes are pierced through which a fishing line or thin twine is pulled. This creates a kind of garland. This part is wrapped around a cone that has been pre-lubricated with glue.

New Year's beauty from pasta

What other tree can you make yourself? A Christmas tree made of pasta will look very original. It is not difficult to make it. In addition, pasta of various sizes and shapes is sold today, which will make the Christmas tree just fantastic.

The first stage of the work is the manufacture of a cardboard box. The workpiece must be painted in the desired color. For this, acrylic paint, spray or gouache are used. Next, you should take pasta of different shapes and use PVA glue to glue them to the cone. At the same time, the design of the fabulous spruce should tell you your imagination.

Work should be continued until the pasta covers the entire body. After the glue dries, the finished Christmas tree must be painted in two layers.

Tree made of dense fabric

What can be used to make a Christmas tree? To create a New Year's beauty, felt is sometimes used. This material perfectly holds its shape and does not crumble. Felt can be used instead of felt. For contrast, it is advisable to take the material in two different colors.

First of all, a cardboard cone is made. Next, circles of various diameters (from the smallest to the largest) are cut out of the felt. Christmas tree tinsel is glued to the bottom of the cone with glue or double tape. After that, felt circles are strung onto the preparation of the tree, in which cuts are made crosswise. Fabric parts fit tightly on the cone. The top of such a tree is decorated with a felt cap or tinsel, previously greased with glue.

New Year's beauty made of threads

You can make a "woolen" Christmas tree with your own hands. To do this, you need to recharge yourself with a positive attitude and start creating beauty. The first step is to twist a sheet of paper or cardboard into a pyramid, fixing it along the contour with glue or tape. Next, take thick woolen threads (necessarily fluffy) and wind them in circles on the base from the bottom up. It is important that the product is neat and even.

The threads should not overlap the adjacent row. For those who make such a Christmas tree for the first time, things may not work at first. There will certainly be "harmful" threads that will constantly peel off. How to get out of this situation? For convenience, the edge of the thread can be attached with a pin. After finishing work, a conditional garland should be placed on our Christmas tree. It is made from thin threads.

The decoration of the top of the New Year's beauty will be a small pompom. To make it, two circles with a diameter of 3 cm should be cut out of cardboard, in the center of which there is a 1 cm hole. Threads are wound on the parts folded together. Then they are cut along the contour and tied in the center.

What kind of Christmas tree toy can be made from threads? It is better to decorate such trees with colorful pins. Bright buttons of various diameters can also serve as decor.

Christmas tree made of plastic bottles

Often in the house you can find unnecessary containers. If these are plastic bottles (preferably green) with a volume of 0.3 to 3 liters, then they can be used to create a Christmas tree.

At the first stage of making a Christmas tree, the bottom of our material should be carefully cut off. This can be done with a utility knife or scissors. It will take one largest bottom. It will serve as a support for our product. The rest can be thrown out immediately.

Next, the prepared bottles are cut into strips, the width of which is from 2 to 2.5 cm. The neck must be intact. As a result of the manipulations carried out, a kind of plastic flower will be obtained.

At the next stage of making the Christmas tree, we cut each strip of the bottle again along the edge every 0.5 mm. These will be our Christmas tree needles. Small cuts will make the Christmas tree fluffier and more beautiful.

Next, the harvested branches should be strung on the "trunk". They will serve as a stick, the length of which should be equal to the intended height of the tree. Blanks from bottles of a larger volume should remain at the base, and containers of a smaller capacity should be strung up. We cover the top of the tree with a plastic lid, hammering a nail into it for reliability.

New Year's beauty from cups

What are the original Christmas trees made of? A New Year's beauty can be made from plastic cups. This material should be green.

At the first stage, eight cups are laid out in a semicircle and fastened together with a stapler. This will be the first row of our product. Next, seven cups are laid out. This is the second row of the tree. The process continues further. Fewer and fewer cups fit into each row. Further, all the parts are fastened together and fixed with staplers. Collected in a circle and located one above one, they will become our Christmas tree. Next, the Christmas tree should be decorated. To do this, you can put a toy or ball in each glass.

Herringbone made of feathers

Anyone who has decided to make a New Year's beauty from this material does not need to gut old pillows. Feathers from them are not suitable for crafts. You can buy the necessary material only in special stores selling handicraft goods. This will be the first stage of work. Next, the feathers will need to be sorted by size and fluffed up a little. This will make it easier to work with them in the future.

When using this lightweight material, the decoration of the product must be done before it is formed. Small plastic beads work well for this. They can also be purchased at a craft supply store.

The beads are carefully glued to the very tips of the feathers. After drying, the resulting blanks are glued in the direction from bottom to top on a cardboard cone. The result is a fluffy one that can be decorated with artificial snow for more resemblance to a real Christmas tree.

A cardboard circle can be glued to the base for stability. A small hole is cut out in the middle of it, into which a cardboard tube, painted brown, is inserted.

Hello dear readers! On New Year's Eve, an incredible number of all kinds of New Year's decorations appear on store shelves: Christmas decorations, tinsel, rain, bright garlands, firecrackers, artificial and live Christmas trees, etc. Speaking of Christmas trees, nowadays manufacturers offer consumers a really wide selection of Christmas trees: tall, small, tabletop, floor-standing, lush, graceful, white, green, multi-colored ... From which we can conclude that anyone who wants to pick up exactly that model of Christmas tree without any problems, which, in his opinion, will most successfully fit into the interior of a house or apartment. But today's article is not at all about factory stamped Christmas trees, but exclusive Christmas trees made with your own hands!

DIY Christmas trees.

To make a decorative Christmas tree, you can safely use almost any material: rhinestones, Christmas balls, threads, beads, wine corks, coffee and other grains, paper, buttons, wire, cones, tree leaves, feathers, pieces of fabric, ribbons, pasta and much more!

We decided on the materials, but how to form the basis of the future tree? You can act in the following ways:

  1. Pick up a cone-shaped bottle, on which you subsequently glue the necessary parts.

2. Purchase a ready-made foam cone - sold in the departments "Everything for creativity and needlework".

3. Make from a sheet of paper.

Let's consider the last point in a little more detail ...

First way: we take a sheet of Whatman paper, draw a circle, cut it out, then on this circle we mark a sector in the form of a triangle with a pencil, cut it off, and form a cone from the remaining part by gluing the side part with tape or glue.

Second way: take a Whatman paper, draw a circle, measure out the fourth part of the circle - a triangle (see photo), cut out this part and form a cone.

So, having selected or made the most suitable cone, we proceed directly to the decorative part ...

Work plan:

The procedure described below should be done with each page in the magazine. If the cover is thick, you can simply peel it off (tear off).

1. Bend the page, upper right corner, at an angle of 45 degrees to yourself.


2. Once again fold the sheet in half diagonally.


3. We pass all fold lines with a fingernail or other object so that they do not open, especially thick pages.

4. The lower corner, which goes beyond the boundaries of the magazine, is tucked up.


Thus, we add up all the pages in the advertising magazine.

Origami tree from a magazine

Another model of origami Christmas trees from for the New Year. Unlike the previous origami trees from the magazine, the pages are not folded here, but figuratively cut out according to the template.

You can cut several pages at once, but do not cut a lot at once, since the cut line will turn out to be uneven (wrinkled) and the tree will not open well.


The tree itself turns out to be more one-sided; to achieve volume, you can fold and glue 2-3 magazines together. But, believe me, it looks good anyway.
