In autumn, more and more often you begin to think about the coming of the New Year with its festive mood, meetings with friends and family and, of course, gifts. Besides, New Year all of us have been associated with a Christmas tree since childhood! Let's talk about her.)

Fortunately, people are increasingly thinking about what not to cut live Christmas tree for the sake of a few public holidays. "Cross" and I fully support this decision and believe that a do-it-yourself Christmas tree is much more interesting and humane! In addition, this great options for those who have nowhere to put a big Christmas tree (for example, there is no free space, or an active small child is in this free space).

We bring to your attention large selection master classes on creating a decorative Christmas tree with your own hands, which will serve as a wonderful decoration for your home and original gift for a wonderful holiday!

Christmas tree made of cones

Very original Christmas tree can be made by hand pine cones. But we will not use the whole cones, but only their scales, so that the Christmas tree is not too bulky.

So, to begin with, we will separate its scales from the cone. This can be done with a sharp knife, wire cutters or secateurs.

Be careful, take care of your hands!

The next step is to make a cone from thick paper or cardboard, which will be the base of our Christmas tree. We turn the paper into a cone, glue it on the side and cut off the excess at the base.

Then we just take the scales in our hands and glue them in a circle, starting from the base of the cone.

You can glue each new row in a checkerboard pattern, you can, as here, one above the other.

You can glue a clove on the top of the Christmas tree (such a spice))

After the glue dries, you can start painting our beauty. To do this, you can take spray paint or regular acrylic paint.

If you choose acrylic paint with a metallic effect, then your Christmas tree will look much more spectacular.

Then we cover the ends of the "twigs" with PVA glue and sprinkle sparkles on them.

This beauty is obtained as a result of these uncomplicated actions:

Exactly according to the same principle, you can decorate the cone with chains and beads, decorative cords, ribbons, braid, etc.

Another very popular way of making artificial Christmas trees with their own hands is their weaving from beads. This is perhaps the most painstaking way, but for lovers of beading, nothing is impossible!

The detailed process of weaving Christmas trees from beads cannot fit in one article, so we share with you links to master classes previously published on "Cross".

Christmas tree made of paper and cardboard

If you have nothing to do in the workplace) or just want to add a little holiday to the office, make a Christmas tree out of paper. What's easier?)

And this Christmas tree is very similar to the design one, don't you think? It’s all because of the colored designer cardboard, which is so beautiful and bright that you don’t need to decorate the Christmas tree with anything else) which simplifies the process of making a Christmas tree with your own hands.

Secondly, to make a designer Christmas tree, you can use threads that are wound around paper cone according to the technology of manufacturing openwork balls.

Thirdly, flower netting and bouquet netting.

The manufacturing technology of these three Christmas trees is very similar, so the process of their creation is shown in one master class.

Feather Christmas Tree

Yes, they do too! You can buy feathers in hardware stores, or maybe you have stocks of bird feathers? They can be dyed for brilliance. food coloring. It looks original, beautiful and so airy!

Candy tree

A candy tree is not only beautiful, but also delicious! Such a gift for the New Year will be appreciated by everyone: both adults and children! Watch the video tutorial from Kateryna Bay and create!

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 ideal options for crafts for the New Year's school competition.

So let's get started.

Idea #1

Beautiful Christmas tree FROM PAPER FANS.

Such voluminous Christmas tree Even children will enjoy doing it. 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.

That's so beautiful christmas tree comes 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 the 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. Can be used as decoration paper gift paper polka dots, diamonds, 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's another idea volumetric Christmas tree from 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 just fold from a square napkin paper modules(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 for inflation 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 from 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 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 consu 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 in green color 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. From cardboard we cut out the silhouettes of a star different sizes 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 ( big leaf paper) - cut out a semicircle - bend from a semicircle into a cone.

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 Christmas tree cone 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 onto 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 fabric - you can take ordinary colored paper, crepe wrinkled paper or even a newspaper (and then paint it with spray 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 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.

Here below classic way creating such a Christmas tree from paper rolls-bags.

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 do beautiful decoration office for the New Year. Yet more ideas New Year's decor for classrooms and office space I have collected 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.

And here is a Christmas tree made of paper in the same technique - where 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 Christmas tree 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 pieces short length). 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 simple and beautiful way make a 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.

Using templates, it is easy to make original voluminous paper Christmas trees that are equally good as New Year's interior decor and homemade Christmas tree decorations.

To work, you will need paper or loose cardboard, a template and scissors.

Volumetric Christmas trees made of paper: 3 options

1. Option

Despite the sketchy appearance, the Christmas tree looks beautiful and interesting. To make it, you need a rectangular piece of paper that needs to be folded in half.

The width and length depends on the desired dimensions of the Christmas tree, but it is important to take into account the data of the template so that it fits in the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe paper folded in half.

Print out the template and cut it out.

Next, you can already make a Christmas tree. But, if you have plain paper. A Christmas tree from cardboard should be done as in my example, since not every printer can use thick paper. That is, circle the printed and cut out template on cardboard and cut it out again, but already a cardboard blank. Alternatively, redraw.

Please note that the direct dotted line should be on the fold of the paper. Cut along the lines should also be from the side of the fold.

You will get such a preparation of a Christmas tree.

Open it for further work.

Then the cut strips need to be directed through one to the other side, making folds on the sides. That is, first bend the second strip inward.

After that, leave the third one unchanged, but direct the fourth strip in the other direction.

Repeat the steps until you run out of stripes. Watch the side folds, it is desirable that they are even. The smallest one can be bent with a thin object - a rod from a pen, a barbecue stick, etc. At the very end, slightly bend the sides. It will turn out such a voluminous Christmas tree made of paper, stable on the surface.

Option 2

Another cute Christmas tree that is easy to make using a template.

Fold the paper in half and cut along all lines except the dotted lines.

Open the workpiece.

Bend the strips to the other side, alternating them through one.

The tree is ready.

3. Option

The template is not much different from the first. The difference is that the lines are straighter here.

Use a template.

Cut out the paper.

Open it and direct the strips in the other direction, alternating them through one. Bend the sides.

These are how you get voluminous Christmas trees made of paper.

They can be decorated with paper toys, a variety of New Year's decor, stickers.

We continue to decorate our home for the winter holiday. We have already made various ones, hung them on windows and walls. Now we want to give the holiday symbolism. And this, of course, is the main princess of the celebration - the Christmas tree. I know that many feel sorry for the trees and replace them with artificial counterparts. But sometimes you just want to make something with your own hands in order to get satisfaction from the action and accent in the decor.

All craft ideas are easy to do with the kids. To make it easier to do the job, make the basics in advance. And try not to skimp on decor. Buy more different beads, ribbons, ribbons, beautiful buttons. Collect small toys from kinders and decorate with them. And they will go into business and will not wallow.

You can create beauty from everything that is at hand. The main thing is to attach to this a share of imagination and all your accuracy. With modern devices, such as a glue gun, you can give the product original shapes and fix different textures and materials.

I know that wine bottle corks and ice cream sticks are also used. Well, we didn’t have any traffic jams at home, and the sticks have long been sold for different needs, so let’s move on to materials that any housewife will definitely have - pasta and yarn.

Let's start with pasta. I know that various snowflakes are made from them. It turns out that they are also suitable for the Christmas tree.

We will need:

• A pack of pasta (better to take feathers)
• glue gun
• Cardboard sheet
• Dye
• Decor

It is better to prefer the shape of "feathers" or "spirals". choose good manufacturer so that all the little things are even and the same length.

First of all, we glue a cone out of cardboard. I do this by simply twisting the sheet around my hand. To prevent the workpiece from falling apart, we fasten it with a stapler.

And now we cut the base so that the tree stands straight, and not crooked.

We always start from the bottom. “Lay” the first two rows, i.e. glue them so that they lie on the surface, so the product will be more stable.

And the next rows need to be raised exactly on the previous one by an amount equal to half the “spiral”.

When you finish the top, we begin to cover the entire craft with paint.

You can take green, or you can buy gold or silver paint in a spray can. Only then you need to spray it not at home.

I really like the result. It doesn't take much time, but it looks very elegant.

Now it's the turn of yarn and cord.

To make a Christmas tree out of yarn, you need to wind the thread exactly one above the other on a paper cone. Periodically fastening it with hot glue to the base.

Decorate with decor.

This product is made even faster than pasta.

You can decorate them with buttons.

We will need:

• Wire
• Decor

First, we select the wire. It should be firm and not thin. From it we turn a cone-shaped spiral. We check for stability. The bottom can be wrapped twice.

We begin to string the cord on the wire.

Dry and decorate.

Glue will give the structure additional strength and will not allow the cord to slide down the frame.

Volumetric Christmas tree made of paper

Paper is always the first thing that the word "craft" is associated with. And from it you can create not one Christmas tree, but a whole spruce forest in which not a single tree will be repeated!

Let's say we want a paper tree to delight us on the kitchen table. Then you need to make it fluffy and voluminous. And also the most stable.

So, I picked up a few detailed master classes with a clear description of the process.

Option 1

We will need:

• cardboard cone
• Paper of green color of different shades.

We cut out many circles of the same size from paper.

And we begin to glue their edges to the cone, observing the rows.

The first layer always goes at the base.

This craft is available in terms of difficulty, even two year old. And it looks quite rich because of the different shades of the same color.

Option 2. Terry cone herringbone

Cut out 4 half circles. Each of them is smaller than the previous one in diameter by 2 centimeters.

We glue the blanks into a cone and cut the edges around the perimeter a little to get the volume. Fold the terry edges a little.

Now glue a smaller cone on the largest workpiece. And so in the direction of decreasing.

That's the whole easy process.

Option 3. Let's make a Christmas tree from paper circles

Cut out 4 circles. Each of them is 1 centimeter smaller than the previous one.

Then we fold each circle 3-4 times in half.

We also make the base out of paper. You can wrap green paper around a pencil or a kebab stick.

We string round blanks on the barrel in descending order of size.

To give stability, you can plant the trunk in plasticine, wax or a wine cork.

Option 4

We mark 15 circles, each time reducing the diameter by 1 centimeter. Then we divide each circle into 12 equal parts, drawing lines through the center.

From the center mark half the radius and draw a circle. Now we cut the lines clearly to the drawn circle.

Glue the tips on each petal.

When you have completed all the levels, start collecting the Christmas tree from the widest row to the smallest.

How do you like the ideas, I think that you will find ideas for yourself.

Craft from cotton pads for the new year in kindergarten

The child was taken aback by the task that tomorrow you need to bring crafts to kindergarten? And outside the window, of course, it is already night. Then you can use packaging cotton pads. In most families, they are actively used.

We will need:

• Packing of cotton pads
• Cardboard for the cone base
• PVA glue
• Decor

We fold the cardboard frame, connect the edges with a stapler.

Take a cotton pad and fold it in half.

Then, on a harmless PVA glue, we plant two tips of a cotton semicircle.

And we glue the workpiece to the base, after smearing its fold with the same PVA glue.

So we do row by row. It is better to glue cotton pads closer to each other so that there is a minimum of gaps.

It remains only to decorate the delicate beauty!

Children in kindergarten will definitely like your product, and they will not be ashamed in front of other parents.

DIY craft from napkins

Another very affordable material is napkins. You can use the most inexpensive and monophonic.

We take white, red, blue and green festive shades.

We fold the napkin several times to get the shape of a square, then cut the fold points and cross-fasten the middle with a stapler.

Now we bend each layer, forming a pompom.

Lay out the first row on the frame with these balls. Then we glue balls and other Christmas tree decorations on double-sided tape.

And fill the entire surface of the frame with napkins.

Everything is pretty fast.

By the way, you can see how to make from napkins here. It also turns out very nice.

Candy Christmas tree

A wonderful gift would be a candy craft: buy a box of good candies in a beautiful package at the grocery store.

It is made of two parts - a base for sweets and a barrel.

We glue the base with a side of 23 centimeters. When cutting, indent along the bottom edge and at one edge 1 cm. We will apply glue to them.

Decorate beautiful paper or film. Glue the bottom to its base.

We make the trunk, decorate it and glue it with the frame.

Now we evenly put sweets, braid or Christmas tree beads on the hot glue.

Use the same color scheme for the base and candies.

We make a Christmas tree for the New Year from pine cones

Natural material always gives the desired zest to the decor. It immediately smells of freshness and resin at home. Will give a symbolic meaning to this winter holiday.

Cones are also suitable for various crafts.

You can create a Christmas tree from only cones, or you can dilute them with sisal balls, decorative flowers or fir branches.
The combination of cones and dried citruses also looks unusual.

Glue the cones onto the base with hot glue. You can not think about the side that you have them. This will give a slight bewitching negligence to the product.

Alternating bumps with Christmas balls or other decor.

We cover with artificial snow or white enamel from the sprayer.

Everything is quite easy, and the result is incredibly beautiful.

Light tinsel Christmas tree

We can't imagine the New Year without tinsel! There are no decorations on it now: stars with balls, and multi-colored tips. It decorates windows, curtains, walls and, of course, is used as a material for crafts: wreaths and Christmas trees.

Since most tinsel manufacturers thread it on thin wire, it is easy to bend and shape in all sorts of ways.

A spruce tree is made from it in three minutes!

We will need:

• Tinsel
• Cardboard sheet
• Double sided tape.

From cardboard we make a base in the form of a cone and glue it with double-sided tape.

We remove the protective film from the first row and begin to glue the end of the tinsel, tightly wrapping the frame.

If you didn’t have enough tinsel, then glue the end with tape, and put the next fluffy ribbon of the same color on top of it.

Fluffy pom-pom beauty

Pompoms have also long been loved by our craftswomen. Previously, we made a dog out of them, now we will create a fluffy beauty.

The balls themselves can be made in two different ways: winding 20 layers on a fork or use two round blanks.

We will go with the second method.

We take cardboard or plastic, cut out two identical rings.

Now stepping back from the edge of the thread 5 centimeters, we begin to wind the yarn very tightly.

Then cut the outer fold between the blanks.

With the thread end left, we tie the middle of the pompom so as not to lose all the threads.

Now we are looking for a thick wire and turn it into a spiral. Leave the base wide. We string pom-poms on it.

If the wire is not found, then we use the experience of previous products and form a triangular or conical base.

Felt Christmas Tree Ideas

Felt is also popular with our craftswomen. No matter what they do, educational toys and Christmas tree decorations. Today I will give a few ideas for creating a spruce tree.

From the most simple options to complex.

Option 1. Cut out 10 Christmas trees of the same size from felt. Fold in half and glue the fold to the trunk.
We use branches, saw cuts of trees (preferably spruce or pine).

Option 2. Cut out many identical triangles from felt.

Glue them to the frame in rows. The upper triangle lies between the two lower ones!

Option 3. Prepare 5 squares different sizes: 9 cm, 7 cm, 5 cm, 3 cm, 1 cm.

We make five of each size.

Now we string the largest squares onto the thick one, distributing them diagonally to each other so that there are no voids.

We pass all the squares like this.

New Year's beauty from fabric

And two more ideas of fabric beauties in the piggy bank. Ends can be finished decorative seam thick contrast thread. Sew buttons or beads onto symbolic branches.

Use several colors of fabrics and textures. For example, take velvet on one side and linen on the other.

You can also choose different patterns in one color scheme or vice versa to play with flowers - companions.

You can fill the Christmas tree with holofiber, synthetic winterizer or cuts, the remnants of your creativity.

If the product is small, fill it with cotton wool.

My dear, I tried to find for you the most interesting and affordable materials for creativity. I'd love to hear your opinion in the comments!

Christmas tree made of paper - 5 options for how to make

Children want to see a green Christmas tree at home long before the long-awaited New Year comes. And making a copy of it with your own hands is a great alternative. A small fluffy Christmas tree will appear on the table if you pick up paper, scissors, glue and study our master classes. In this tutorial I will show several options for how to make a Christmas tree out of paper with your own hands with unique step by step photos. This is New Year's Eve preparation for your favorite winter holiday.

If to while away winter evenings, performing excellent ones, you will get a double benefit: you can brighten up the expectation, and have fun, and get wonderful souvenirs as a gift to your beloved relatives or friends.

Fluffy Christmas tree do it yourself

The proposed craft is a great option for creativity for kindergarten. For execution, the simplest and cheapest materials are used. There is an opportunity to practice, even if the child ruins something, there is always the opportunity to start over, because you don’t feel sorry for plain paper. Cardboard will form a cone-shaped base for the tree, and soft paper will become a covering - fluffy thorns.

To create a fluffy paper Christmas tree, prepare:

• Cardboard with a gray matte surface (not glossy);
• Green paper (regular soft sheets);
• Pencil and ruler;
• Scissors;
• Glue or double-sided tape;
• red paper;
• skewer;
• 2 crystal stones.

You can immediately cut a circle out of cardboard. Use a round saucer, circle its outlines with a pencil, then cut it out. The surface of the cardboard should be matte, rough, so that ordinary paper quickly sticks to it, if it is glossy, then it will be quite difficult to work with the central part and decorate it.

Cut the circle along one radius (to the center).

An incision is needed in order to form a cylinder. Roll the paper to the desired state. Lubricate the ends with glue and squeeze with your fingers or a clothespin, waiting for the glue to grab.

Cut green soft paper into long strips. Their length is arbitrary, and the width is approximately equal to 2 cm.

Each strip must be turned into a thick fringe. But you can speed up this process if you combine all the parts at once, then cut them at the same time, because the paper is thin, it is well cut with scissors and in several layers.

Make a few strips of fringe to further fill the surface of the cylinder.

Start attaching the fluffy crown to the cylinder. Be sure to move from the bottom up, layering more and more fringe rings. Lubricate with glue only that part of the strip that remained intact after incision. Double-sided tape can also help if you want a neater result.

First, glue the strips around the circumference in the right places, then remove the top protective film on the adhesive tape and press the green fluffy rings on top. Fill the entire cone with a fluffy crown.

Cut out 2 identical stars from red paper and prepare a stick.

Glue both stars, combining the surface, put a stick in the middle. Insert the stick into the top hole, which is sure to remain after the crown is formed. Glue sparkling crystals on both sides of the star. Christmas tree paper is ready!

Master class on creating an openwork paper Christmas tree

Anticipating the approach of the most long-awaited celebration - the New Year, people are trying in every possible way to decorate their homes. Everyone knows that the Christmas tree is the main attribute new year holiday. Therefore, the “green beauty” itself or decorations in the form of this tree can be seen everywhere. An openwork Christmas tree cut out of paper will look very unusual and at the same time stylish in a festively decorated interior.

To make this craft, you will need:

• thick paper;
• sharp mock-up knife or nail scissors;
• ordinary scissors;
• stapler.

First of all, you need to make a pattern for the future Christmas tree. To do this, you can use the printer to print the sample you like from the Internet or use a carbon paper to transfer the template to paper. Creative people can try to draw a pattern on their own. But keep in mind that the smaller the internal pattern of the Christmas tree, the more delicate and beautiful it will turn out in the end.

Take two sheets of thick paper, place the template on top and fasten all three sheets together using a stapler.

First, cut out the pattern inside the Christmas tree. Start with the smallest details, gradually moving to larger ones. Cutting out tiny elements from paper is a very laborious job that requires perseverance and a lot of patience.

If you have not practiced the cutting technique with a breadboard knife, then it would be better to use sharp scissors. Place a board under sheets of paper in order to avoid damaging the surface of the table.

After finishing the inner pattern, move on to the outer contour.

As a result, you should get two Christmas trees.

By connecting them with slotted locks, you will get a very beautiful openwork Christmas tree that will certainly decorate festive table and add a touch of romance and magic to the New Year's Eve atmosphere.

Christmas tree from one sheet of paper

It is unlikely that anyone will argue that the main character of the New Year is the Christmas tree! The holiday would not be a holiday without her presence. Therefore, today we will make a festive beauty from colored paper. This craft is very easy to make, so you can safely attract children!

For crafts we need:

• Sheet of green and red paper;
• Scissors;
• Glue;
• Ruler;
• Pencil.

Please note that colored paper should be the same color on both sides. Otherwise, the tree will not work.

For work, we need a sheet of green colored paper. Cut out a square from it. The size of the future craft depends on its size. The larger the square, the larger the Christmas tree will be.

Now we fold this square into a triangle.

We place the triangle with the base towards us. Now we need a ruler and a pencil. We retreat from the edge 1 cm.

We draw a horizontal line with a simple pencil. Next, we need to line the triangle. All lines should be the same 1 cm.

Now, with scissors, carefully cut the triangle along each of the drawn lines.

We straighten the part back into a square and position it so that the very first horizontal line becomes vertical. It is important to put our blank with the drawn lines up. Take the bottom strip, fold it up and glue it.

Now take the strip on the right side and do the same with it. We impose it a little on the strip on the left side.

Now, in the same way, take the next strip on the left and glue it. Then take the strip on the right and also glue it.

So you need to collect the Christmas tree to the end. Be sure to always alternate in the same order. First the strip on the left, then on the right. Or vice versa, if the first strip was taken on the right. Due to the fact that we arranged the part with lines from the pencil up, they became invisible when gluing.

Cut off the rest of the top with a little scissors.

Now let's make a star. We take a small sheet of red paper and draw a star on it. Or you can use a template, if available. You can initially cut out the template from cardboard, and then circle it on a sheet of red paper. Cut out the star.

Glue it to the top of the Christmas tree. Slightly go to the extreme strips. The paper Christmas tree is ready! It is perfect for decorating a festive interior.
