Are you waiting for the coming of the new year? But you really want the New Year holidays to last for several months, start in October and end in January. Unfortunately this is not possible, but the preparation process gives a feeling of magic and fabulousness. The main guest is the green beauty. How to make a Christmas tree with your own hands from handy tools: paper, cones, cardboard, tinsel ...?

Tools and materials needed to make a Christmas tree


To make any Christmas tree you will need:
cardboard or thick sheet of paper;
scotch tape, double-sided tape or PVA glue, glue gun;
scissors;
pencil or pen;
decorative material for decoration.

As it, we use any material that comes into our field of vision or whatever your imagination tells you: paper, ribbons, beads, coffee beans, cones, leaves, pasta.

How to make the base of a Christmas tree?
You can make it in several ways:
1. to buy a ready-made foam or plastic cone in the store of materials for "hand made";
2. use a bottle in the shape of a cone;
3. make a cone yourself from paper or cardboard.

Draw a circle of the required diameter on a sheet of paper or cardboard, depending on the expected height of the tree. On the circle we mark a triangular sector, which occupies about ¼ of its part. We cut off the resulting sector, and form a cone from the rest of the larger part of the circle, and fasten it with glue or tape.

4. Use a skewer or a rod made of wood or plastic as a base.

DIY decorative Christmas trees
Christmas trees made of paper
There are many options for creating this tree, let's dwell on a few of them.

1. We make a cone from paper of the desired color, your tree does not have to be green. We decorate the cone in a spiral with beads, ribbons or gold or silver braids. We make jewelry out of beads, foil, sequins.

5 simple paper Christmas trees

When making a Christmas tree out of paper, use the photo instructions.

Herringbone from cones
1. The method is gluing on top of each other ready-made cones with cut edges at the bottom to give fluff. The number of cones depends on your desire and the height of the tree you want to get. To make it easier for yourself to create cones, use semicircles, a ruler with ready-made circles or different diameters of saucer, glasses, wine glasses.
2. If you want your Christmas tree to stand on a leg, use a roll of toilet paper or foil.

3. Glue all the elements together.

Herringbone with curled ends
To create a pointed Christmas tree, you need to cut the circles and draw them out to make it easier to cut. We fold the cut edges into small cones and glue them.

We glue all the circles together and put them on the wire, making a hole in the center.

Herringbone made of paper circles

Herringbone made of palms

One of the simplest and most beloved Christmas trees by children, because they take part in its production. They can draw their own handles.

The Christmas tree can be either one color or different colors, for example, mom, dad and baby. Each handle has a different color.

The next step is to determine where you will hang your Christmas tree or put it. If the handles are glued to the cone, then it will stand.

The palms glued to a herringbone-shaped drawing paper will be able to hang on the wall.

Magazine tree

We take any old magazine and fold the pages. The diagram is shown in the picture. If you like the second Christmas tree more, then divide the magazine into 2 or more parts and cut a half of the Christmas tree according to the template.

More options for magazine Christmas trees


2. We make a paper tree from old magazines with bright color pictures. To do this, cut out many identical circles from magazine sheets, each of which we slightly twist, wrapping around a pencil.

The resulting parts are tightly glued to the conical base under the Christmas tree. We start work from the bottom of the cone, forming even neat rows. We decorate the top of the tree with a cone formed from one of the circles.


Herringbone using quilling technique

3. If you own the quilling technique, make a small openwork and elegant Christmas tree. For this, spiral-snails of different diameters are made from green paper strips, which are fixed on a wooden rod, forming the frame of the Christmas tree. We make the stand from white paper, and as decoration we use multi-colored, not very long stripes.

To get a free-standing Christmas tree, use a conical base and paste over it with ready-made twisted modules.

If you need a tiny Christmas tree, then it is enough to put the modules from the strips on top of each other, glue them to hold firmly and add a star to the top. Use beads or glitter for decoration. Larger modules will create a more powerful herringbone.



Origami tree
The simplest version of such a Christmas tree would be to make it from a magazine. First, remove the cover. Next, fold each of the magazine pages first so that the top edge of the page adjoins the gluing line of the pages. Then fold the folded sheet again in the same way. Fold the bottom corner up so that the fold line is parallel to the bottom edge of the magazine. By evenly spreading the folded pages of the magazine, you will get a beautiful origami tree.


Christmas tree made of napkins
Another option for a paper tree. For him, you will need three-layer paper napkins of one or more shades. We take out the napkin from the package, and without unrolling it, cut out 5-6 circles of the same diameter (up to 6 cm). We get circles consisting of 12 layers, separate the top layer, twist it in the form of a petal to the center, then twist the second, third and each subsequent layer, getting the original rose.
Glue the resulting roses in a row from the bottom of the cone base. We make the next row from roses of a smaller diameter, etc. to the top of the cone. We also decorate the top with a rose. The Christmas tree can be decorated with sparkles, beads or garlands.

Christmas tree made of cardboard
We make a cardboard Christmas tree in two ways:
1. Take several sheets of cardboard and fold them in half. From the fold, draw half of the silhouette of the Christmas tree, cut the Christmas trees according to the resulting template. Do not forget to draw the base under the tree in the form of a stable triangle at the bottom of the trunk. Bend the resulting trees in half along the central axis, and glue the halves together. The more sheets of cardboard you use, the more magnificent the tree will be.

2. For the second option, you will need two sheets of green double-sided cardboard. Similar to the first option, bend the sheets, draw and cut out the Christmas trees. You will end up with 2 identical details, mark half the height on both of them. Cut one part to the mark from top to bottom along the central axis, the second from bottom to top, also to the mark. Insert the parts into the cuts, for stability, connect them with tape, straighten the resulting tree.
We decorate both versions of the Christmas tree by drawing pictures on them, or by pasting appliques, sparkles, confetti mugs, etc.


Christmas tree made of cones

For making a Christmas tree, we use spruce or pine cones.
We glue cones on the base cone, it is better to glue with a heat gun. We paint the edges of the cones with glitter paint using a sponge, or use paint in a spray can. In the gaps between the cones, you can glue artificial or natural coniferous branches, or tinsel. Ordinary salt sprinkled on the tree will help simulate snow on the branches.

Each bump can itself article a herringbone. Add bead decorations to it, and a bow or a star on top. Acrylic paints will help give your tree the color you want.


Christmas tree made of sweets
Any bottle can serve as a basis for a Christmas tree; we glue it over with double-sided tape. Starting from the bottom, we glue the candies on the tape in rows, trying not to leave gaps between the candy wrappers. Any candy will do, but chocolate candies are heavier in weight, so they are more difficult to attach. We alternate the rows of candy with rows of tinsel. It is better to finish the top of the tree with tinsel so as not to make it heavier. Make the top of tinsel of a different color, or candies, the candy wrappers of which you fasten together with a stapler in the form of a star.


Christmas tree made of tinsel
To make it, we take the base under the Christmas tree, you can paste over it with self-adhesive paper in the tone of tinsel. Then, from the bottom up, we twist the cone in a spiral with tinsel, simultaneously attaching it to the base with a heat gun. We decorate the tree with ordinary Christmas balls, also fixing them with glue.


Christmas tree made of pasta
For a Christmas tree, you will need a conical base, it is advisable to pre-paint it to match the future tree. Prepared curly pasta (in the form of bows, shells, horns, etc.) is glued to the cone. After the glue dries, we paint the pasta in the desired color with paint from a spray can, or other available paint, for example, acrylic.


Christmas tree made of beads
To make a Christmas tree, beads or bugles are used; such a spruce looks more like a piece of jewelry. Making a Christmas tree is not easy, it is a difficult and painstaking work. First, prepare the base from the wire - the trunk of the future Christmas tree, branches of wire with beads strung on them will be attached to it. If you are not a professional in the field of beading, it is better to use ready-made schemes, where each stage of the spruce production is described in turn.

Christmas tree made of glass bottles
Anyone can assemble such a tree. You only need a huge number of green bottles, and bases in the form of circles of various diameters, on which the bottles will be installed. So that the tree does not accidentally crumble, it will be better to put the structure on glue.

Christmas tree made of plastic bottles
To make a small Christmas tree, you will need about 6 pieces of 2-liter PET bottles. Cut the first bottle across at a distance of about 5-7 cm from the neck. Each subsequent one is another 1-2 cm lower. Throw away the lower parts with the bottom, and work with the top of the bottle. Symmetrically, we make 8 cuts on the bottle towards the neck, from the resulting "noodles" we form petals, cutting off the sharp edges. We bend each of the petals outward. We fix the resulting blanks of branches with the help of plasticine on a rod installed in a pot. We paint the finished spruce with green paint and decorate.

Christmas tree made of balloons
Such a tree will turn out to be quite voluminous. To make a spruce with a height of about 2 meters, you will need 10 fives of green balls, with a diameter of 8 to 35 cm, and about 20 small balls of different colors with a diameter of up to 10 cm for decoration.
First, we inflate the largest 5 balloons, connecting their tails together. We attach them to a wire or other suitable base. Then we inflate 5 balls of a smaller diameter, and fix them on the base, etc. Balloons for decoration are connected in pairs using elongated figured balls, and fixed on the tree.

Christmas tree made of threads
Grease the base-cone with PVA glue, and tightly wind thick coarse threads of the desired color from the bottom up. Decorate with beads, buttons, rhinestones.

Suitable as Christmas tree decorations for your Christmas tree. You will find a detailed description and master classes in this article.

A lot of sheep for every taste: from pom-poms, felt, dough, thread, cotton wool, cotton swabs. Go to the article and you have in your hands a detailed plan for making a lamb.

A master class on making a Christmas tree from tinsel in five minutes!

Today I want to share an idea for making a Christmas tree from tinsel. The method of its manufacture is very simple and does not take much time, but the result, as it seems to me, is obvious!

Such Christmas trees can be made by a preschooler of any age, which is very important for us, teachers!

To make a Christmas tree, we need: cardboard of any size for cones, tinsel of any color, multi-colored pieces of torn tinsel, glue stick.

So let's get started!

1. Twist a sheet of cardboard into a cone, glue the corner.


I wound several cones of different sizes at once.


2. Cut off the excess cardboard at the base so that the cones stand.


3. Cut off the top of the cone quite a bit and insert the end of the tinsel into the hole. Wrap the tinsel in a spiral around the cone. The end of the tinsel at the bottom of the cone is fixed.


4. One, two, and our Christmas tree is ready!


And then another one.


And another one!


And further! She twisted four Christmas trees, barely stopped - how fast, easy and mesmerizing it is!


5. Now decorate the Christmas tree. For this we need multi-colored pieces of tinsel.


6. Wrap pieces of tinsel around your finger and you get such multi-colored balls - decorations.


7. Tinsel balls - decorate the Christmas tree.



And these trees are beautiful even without decoration!


These are such wonderful Christmas trees I got!



And for the last New Year, I made such a Christmas tree to decorate the New Year's table. She wrapped a bottle of champagne with tinsel. Try it - it will be beautiful, unusual and with a surprise!

It's too early to buy a fresh 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, which is why we suggest that you try to make Christmas trees with your own hands from various materials. You can decorate your apartment and even a festive table with such Christmas trees. By the way, this is also an original gift for grandparents made by your child's hands. Many options will be easy and affordable even for the smallest. Here we go?..

Option 1

DIY Christmas tree made of cones and plasticine.

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

So that your kid can take an active part in making this Christmas tree, invite him to roll small multi-colored balls from plasticine to plant 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 a white snowball. Here they are, our beauties. Our daughter dressed these Christmas trees when she was 1 year and 10 months old. Suggest a fun activity for your little one.

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

Option 2

Do-it-yourself Christmas tree made of tinsel.

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

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

Option 3

If you don't have a sheet of cardboard or thick paper for making a cone at hand, it doesn't matter. An ordinary plastic bottle can serve as the basis for a Christmas tree. And again we wrap the base with tinsel.

Option 3

Christmas tree made of sweets.

We offer you to make a luxurious "Sweet" herringbone... She will undoubtedly become both a decoration of the festive table and a favorite delicacy of children.

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

Option 4

This herringbone on the frame it will take some effort: you will have to solder such a cone made of steel wire. Her outfit can also serve as a beautiful bright tinsel. Here, another beauty has turned out.

Option 5

DIY Christmas tree made of yarn.

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 hand-made Christmas tree flaunts in front of you!

How to make a DIY Christmas tree out of paper:

Option 6

I am curly, curly-haired ... 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 different lengths. We begin to dress the tree in curls from the top of the head.

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), the lower one - from the longer ones). By the way, we made 2 Christmas trees: when making the first one, we glued the future "curls" to the tape, and then attached the strip to the cone, and only after that did the Christmas tree do the hair. And the second tree was created a little differently: instead of scotch tape, glue was used and the cone itself was pasted over with strips 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

Origami Christmas tree from the 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 take patience and time, although it all depends on the thickness of the magazine you choose. Bend the upper right corner of each magazine page towards us at an angle of 45 degrees.

Then fold the sheet in half again (diagonally).

We turn the lower corner, which goes beyond the boundaries, up. We add all other pages of the magazine in the same way. It turns out such an interesting "accordion".

Option 8

DIY Christmas tree made of colored paper.

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

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

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

Herringbone it will turn out to be multi-tiered and bright due to the alternation of colors. Another paper christmas tree, made by hand, 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. It can be made from ordinary colored paper and 2 skewers, and for decoration you can use laces, braid, sequins, sequins, etc.

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 basis can be plasticine or thick paper, rolled up. We decorate the crown of the head with a star or a flower, as we did.

Option 10

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

We offer to make volumetric smart herringbone, which will undoubtedly become a decoration 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, glitters / sequins, glue, tape, scissors, stickers / stickers.

  1. Bend a sheet of thick paper (cardboard) in half and cut along the fold line.
  2. Fold the resulting 2 halves again and fold them in half.
  3. Find the center of each tree (carefully bend it in half across - from the top to the bottom of the tree).
  4. We make cuts in the middle of the trees: on one, an incision from the top of the head to the middle, and on the other, from the bottom to the middle.
  5. We connect two Christmas trees, carefully inserting into the cuts.

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

Advice: if you want your tree to be fluffier, you can use more paper.

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

Option 11

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

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

We prepare several cones of different diameters. We make frequent incisions with a length of 0.5 cm along the edge of the cones. Neat caps are obtained. Then we put on each cap a small layer of glue, except for the largest one, and insert them into each other. We decorate the Christmas tree to taste. That's all done!

Option 12

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

For work we need: a cardboard cone, three-layer, or two-layer, paper napkins (1 pack), glue, 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 is painstaking and will take you about two hours. But it's worth it. Look how good she is!

We circle the circles on the napkin, cut them out, fasten the circles with a stapler in the middle. Then bend one leaf at a time (napkin layer), twist in the center, bend each leaf and twist. By the way, such work is within the power of your child, our 4-year-old Mashenka easily coped with it. You should get such a "rosette" (we used 2-layer napkins to make it). We prepare a few more flowers.

We take a cone and glue “roses” on it in a circle. Each subsequent flower row should be slightly smaller in size (circles from napkins will be of the same diameter, it is just that 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, attach a bow to the top of the head. Before sprinkling glitter on the tree, first apply hairspray to its surface. Shake off excess glitter.

Voila, what a beauty!

Option 13

And now I would like to suggest that you make this gorgeous beauty out of corrugated paper. At first glance, it may seem that this is a very complex and time-consuming process. But I want to assure 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 will be brighter, although the Christmas tree can be made snow-covered, white, and variegated - it all depends on your imagination), red for candles, glue, scissors, ruler, instead of knitting needles, we used ordinary skewers, a cardboard cone, beads / beads to decorate the "New Year's tree", wet wipes / cloth for hands and free time. So let's get started.

1. First, 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 double tubes on skewers from them. 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 branches of the spruce the same using ordinary skewers. We think it worked out well.

Double corrugated tubes: put the skewer on the edge of the strip and tightly wrap the paper around it up to 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, and do not forget hold the first with your hands.

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 pull the paper until it all "folds" on the skewers. We do this in small areas, rearranging our fingers.

This is how our straws 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 trunk of the spruce). We can give a shape to the branch - we wind it on the finger and the branch becomes a little curved. We harvest 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. Twist a light from a strip of 0.5 × 3 cm, twist the strip with a flagellum. We glue the flagellum inside the candle, and in turn we glue the candle into the grooves on the spruce branches.

That's all! Look what beauty you get! 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 cone made of cardboard or thick paper, glue (you can use PVA or glue stick), as well as your patience and desire to create.

Well, have we started?

1.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). It took about 30 strips of each color to create this Christmas tree. We make frequent cuts on one side of the strip and along its entire length,

then we twist "flowers" from stripes, clamp the base of the flowers or cut off the "tail".

2.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 a decoration of your home.

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

The Christmas tree is one of the main attributes of the New Year. No one forgets about it: people buy to decorate them with different outfits - souvenirs and garlands.

relax.by offers its readers 5 ways to make a New Year tree out of paper, which can be placed not only in the apartment, but also to decorate the desktop or make a nice gift to relatives or friends. Here is a selection of ways to make a paper tree, with photos and step-by-step instructions.

Method number 1 - Christmas tree made of paper

You will need:
green paper;
ruler;
compass;
glue;
scissors;
pencil or tube for juices, cocktails.

Step 1.
Use a compass to draw several circles on the paper. Make each new circle 1-2 cm smaller than the previous one. Choose the number and size of circles yourself, depending on what size the Christmas tree you want to see in the end. The cut out circles are the tiers of our future Christmas tree.

Step 2.
Fold each circle in half once, twice and three times: Fold each circle in half three times. To make the fold lines clear, draw along the edges with scissors.

Step 3.
Straighten out the circles and cut a hole in the center of each that should match the diameter of the pencil or tube - it all depends on what you will be using.

Step 4 .
Cover the pencil or tube with green or brown paper.

Step 5.
Now is the time to assemble the tree. Carefully string all the tiers onto the base - a pencil or a tube.

Step 6.
Decorate the top of the Christmas tree with a beautiful bead or star. You can also decorate the tree with glitter and pieces of chocolate foil.

Method number 2 - a volumetric herringbone made of paper

You will need:
green paper;
scissors;
pencil;
glue;
compass;
ruler;
needle;
wire.


Step 1.
Draw a circle of sufficient size on green paper with a compass - this will be the bottom tier of your future Christmas tree. Next, draw another circle inside the first circle, departing from the outline of the first circle a little more than half the radius. Using a ruler, divide the circle into 12 sectors.

Step 2.
Make an incision along the lines, up to the inner (second) circle.

Step 3.
Roll the sector into a cone, which needs to be secured with glue.

Step 4.
Prepare the rest of the tiers in the same way, gradually decreasing their size.

Step 5.
Use a needle to make a hole in the center of each workpiece.

Step 6.
Roll the bottom of the wire into a spiral.

Step 7.
All the tiers of the tree need to be assembled on the basis - wire. You can fix the tree on top with a cone made of the same paper.

Method number 3 to make a paper tree

You will need:
green paper strips 5 mm wide;
four stripes of 1 cm;
red and yellow stripes 3-5 mm wide;
toothpicks;
glue (instant and PVA).

Step 1.
Use pre-prepared green strips 30, 20, 15 and 10 cm long. Twist them with a toothpick, then remove and let the strips unfold slightly. Secure the end of each strip with PVA glue and give all the spirals a drop shape by holding and slightly pulling one of the ends of the spiral up.

Step 2.
Wind the wide green stripes tightly around the toothpick and glue the tip to them without letting it bloom. This is the trunk of your tree.

Step 3.
For the top of the tree, make a drop from a green strip 30 cm long.

Step 4.
Start assembling the tree, securing its elements with instant glue. Glue the parts of the barrel and give the glue time to dry.

Step 5.
Insert a toothpick inside the trunk and glue the droplets-twigs. Start glueing with the smallest branches that are attached to the top of the tree.

Step 6.
Make toys out of yellow and pink stripes by rolling the paper without using a toothpick. You can pin the ends of the strips until the paper unwinds, or you can loosen the toys a little and shape them into small droplets. Glue the balls to the branches you like.

Step 7.
Glue the drop at the very top - don't forget about it! - fasten the decoration.

Step 8.
If you wish, you can make a stand for the Christmas tree. To do this, you need to make nine curls from white paper stripes. Glue the curls tightly together and secure the tree to a snowy white stand with glue. For complete naturalness, the stand can be decorated with cotton wool.

Method number 4 - Christmas tree for the new year made of cardboard

You will need:
colored cardboard;
glue;
scissors;
hole puncher;
a small stick with a diameter approximately equal to the diameter of the holes that are obtained from a hole punch;
decorations.

Step 1.
Take a rectangular cardboard, fold it several times (as shown in the picture) and make holes in the center using a hole punch.

Step 2.
Then take a piece of cardboard and cut it "at an angle" to make the craft look like a Christmas tree.

Step 3.
Slide the stick through the hole. If it does not hold firmly, then fix it in place of contact with the cardboard with glue.

Step 4.
Decorate the tree. Ornaments can also be secured with glue.

It is convenient to put such a Christmas tree (if you make a base for it), and also hang if there is absolutely no space on the desktop for a Christmas tree made of paper.

Method number 5 - a tree from a magazine

The most budgetary Christmas tree!

The material for such a craft will be one large magazine or several small magazines. If the magazine has a hard cover, then it is advisable to remove it.

Follow these steps for each page:

Step 1.
Start at the top right corner and fold the page at a 45-degree angle.

Step 2.
Fold the sheet diagonally and in half again.

Step 3.
Tuck the corner that goes beyond the borders of the magazine upward.

Step 4.
Follow the same procedures with the rest of the pages and you will end up with an unusual origami tree.

In addition to paper, a Christmas tree can be made from sweets. How? See below.

Christmas tree made of candies

For the Christmas tree, you will need:
500-600 grams of candies in a bright wrapper;
thick cardboard;
glue, scissors and double-sided tape;
Christmas tree decor: rain, a small star for the crown.

Please note that the color of the candy wrapper does not match the color of the Christmas tree decor. If you decide to use rain, then pick it up with a short "nap" so that the candy is visible.

Step 1.
Make a cone from thick cardboard, cut out a semicircle and wrap it. Glue the edges with super glue, which will secure and set quickly.

Step 2.
Cut the bottom of the cone into strips, bend inward and glue a circle on top, which will help make the base as stable as possible.

If you are preparing a Christmas tree as a gift for a child, then you can hide a small car or a soft toy inside the cone. It is only necessary to think over the opening bottom for the herringbone.

Step 3.
Cover the cone with double-sided tape, remove both protective films. Next, glue a row of chocolates from below. The candies must be pressed very carefully to the scotch tape, otherwise they will quickly fall off.

That is why it is advisable to choose lightweight sweets. If you decide to use heavy chocolates, then glue them to the tree directly with glue.

Step 4. Decorate the top of the Christmas tree made of candies with a light star made of wood or foam, and then mask the top of the head with serpentine or tinsel. Your sweet Christmas tree is ready!

But what is the New Year without a Christmas tree made of tinsel?

DIY tinsel tree

You will need:
tinsel 2 m;
sheet of whatman paper;
PVA glue;
glue "Moment"
scissors;
pencil;
needle with thread;
glue brush.

Step 1.
On a piece of Whatman paper, draw a circle with a radius of 25 cm. To draw such a large circle exactly, make the following fixture. Tie a pencil to the end of the thread with a needle, stick the needle in the middle of a sheet of Whatman paper, pull the thread and draw a circle of the required diameter with a pencil.

Step 2.
To create the cone-base of the tree, you only need half of this circle, so we cut the circle in half.

Step 3.
Overlap the edges of the halves and fix them with glue - for this purpose it is better to use Moment glue. The base of the Christmas tree is ready.

Step 4.
To glue the tinsel to the base, apply PVA glue over the cone and gently glue the tinsel in a circle. Tinsel is well attached to PVA. In this way, glue over the entire cone and let the glue dry. The tinsel herringbone is ready!

You can also decorate a Christmas tree made with your own hands with homemade decorations from small cones, nuts, beads, bows, tinsel of a contrasting color. Get some small toy bells and glue them to the tree.

To make the Christmas tree taller, make a stand for it, for example, from a small flower pot: glue a cardboard circle to it and fix the Christmas tree there.

Progress:
1. Draw a large circle on a piece of Whatman paper. In our case, it turns out 30 cm. The radius of this circle will be equal to the height of the Christmas tree. In order to draw such a large circle, you can build a homemade device like a compass. To do this, tie a pencil to one end of the thread, and a needle to the other. Then stick the needle in the middle of the drawing paper and draw a circle with a pencil, pulling the thread. Now cut out the circle and cut it in half. Two Christmas trees can come out of one Whatman paper. Roll up the paper and make a cone. Secure the edges with tape. The base of our Christmas tree is ready!

2. Now cover the top of the cone with glue and proceed to glue the tinsel. It adheres perfectly to the glue. However, you need to glue it very carefully.

3. After pasting the entire cone, let the glue dry. Do not be discouraged if in some places of the Christmas trees "bald spots" are obtained. Then they can be veiled with Christmas tree decorations.

4. After complete drying, use a hot gun to decorate the Christmas tree.

5. You can also make a stand for our Christmas tree - then it will be higher. You will also need a small flower pot. Glue a cardboard circle to the pot and glue a Christmas tree on it.
