We are getting ready to celebrate the New Year 2017. You can make very beautiful and original cones using the artichoke technique with your own hands together with your children. Master class for children from 7 years old.
We will need:
1. Styrofoam ball blank (in this case 6 cm in diameter)
2. Glue for foam ceilings (the glue gun and glue immediately corrodes the foam)
3. PVA glue for the initial stage
4. Scissors
5. Sets of paper for origami and just plain double-sided paper
6. Satin ribbon
7. Pins
8. Napkins with a beautiful pattern.
9. Brushes.
Stage 1
Cut out a square of about 6x6 cm from a napkin you like. Remove the white layer from the napkin. Glue the napkin using the decoupage technique to the ball.
Stage 2
Choose paper for your balloon. You can give children complete freedom in choosing patterns.
Cut the paper into 3x3 cm squares.
Stage 3
For the first row, bend 8 squares as shown in the photo.
Stage 4
We glue the free part of the square with ceiling glue and glue it onto our ball, as shown in the figure. First, opposite each other (you can close the middle a little more or, conversely, leave it larger), then two more, just as clearly opposite each other. At this stage, help your child follow the geometry, then it will be easier. Secure the corners with pins.
Stage 5
Now we close the gaps between the first four scales, gradually removing the pins and pushing them into the next scales. The first row is ready.
Stage 6
Let's move on. Now we glue the second row in exactly the same way, first closing those scales that were glued first. And we close further in a checkerboard pattern.
Don't forget to remove the pins, we only need them for better fixation.
Stage 7
Now we have come to the end of the ball. Here you can make not 8, but 4 scales, as shown in the figure.
Stage 8
We make a loop from a ribbon; you can tie a bow, beads, or a spruce twig to it. And, after dripping with glue, we attach it to the ball with a pin. I think you can avoid this pin, then you need to glue the ribbon on top with additional scales or decorations.
Our wonderful New Year's cone for the tree is ready.
Tip 1. Instead of paper, you can use satin ribbon or fabric cut into squares. It also turns out very beautifully.
Tip 2. Some people do not use glue, but use “pins - small pins” to attach the scales. But they are not sold everywhere, and not everyone is pleased to receive a ball stuffed with needles as a gift. I think this is a more “adult” option.

Their feathers come from the bark,
And under them there are grains,
And from spruce branches
They wait for squirrels in winter.
Except sharp needles

(Cone)
Hello dear colleagues! Today I propose to make an applique together with the kids in the form bumps. For this we will be needed: Double sided color paper brown and green colors, compass, ruler, sheet of cardboard, scissors, glue stick. For children, you can make templates of circles of the required sizes in advance.
Cut out nineteen brown circles with a diameter of 3 cm, one green circle with a diameter of 5 cm, two green circles with a diameter of 4 cm and two green circles with a diameter of 3 cm.
We bend the edges of nineteen brown circles with a diameter of 3 cm from both sides to the middle, like this
Fold the green circles in half. These will be the twigs.
Glue the parts together as shown in the photo.
Our the pine cone is ready!
Creative success!

Almost every person strives to create an atmosphere of a real holiday in their home on the eve of the New Year. After all, this is a special time and you need to enjoy it to the fullest. How can this be made a reality? Get busy decorating your home, and you can make decorations yourself. Let's consider this option as a DIY paper cone for a Christmas tree.
Making a Christmas tree decoration
- Colored paper.
- Scissors, PVA glue.
- Glue gun.
REFERENCE. Such a cone could well become an unusual box for gift wrapping.
How to quickly make a decoration
It is worth noting that the manufacturing process is extremely simple. You can build one, and then many of these cones in the company of children, this will allow you to spend a fun and fruitful evening.
REFERENCE. Let's make one such cone and, having understood the manufacturing process, you can easily make many such fakes. By combining them together, you can make a very nice garland to decorate your home.
- You will need a foundation. It could be polystyrene foam. It needs to be given the appropriate shape. You can also make the base using the papier-mâché technique.
- In the next step, you need to move on to making the petals of the pine cone. To do this, take thick paper.
- Make preparations. Their length should be twice the width.
REFERENCE. You can choose the color of the paper and the design on it, focusing on your personal preferences; there are no restrictions here. If you want to make a fake as close as possible to a real pine cone, choose the appropriate color.
PLEASE NOTE. If you decide to choose the papier-mâché base option, at the manufacturing stage you can place a souvenir inside the blank.
Simple manufacturing option
There is another way to make such a fake. Stock up on brown paper, a simple pencil, scissors and glue. If you look at a real cone, it resembles a flower in cross-section. It is based on this that we will assemble the product.
It is necessary to cut out many flower blanks, which should differ in size. The template is shown in the photo. Cut out all these blanks and start assembling your fake.
REFERENCE. To make the process of cutting out flowers go faster, you can fold the paper several times.
String the cut out elements onto the base, having previously coated it with glue. As a base, you can take a regular stick or make it out of colored paper and roll it into a tube.
IMPORTANT. To give the petals volume, they need to be folded in half.
As you can see, as a result of simple manipulations you can make a very nice little cone.
A paper cone is a simple three-dimensional craft, and together with a twig it makes an interesting composition that will decorate an exhibition, interior, and will be an excellent gift for loved ones, which a child will make with his own hands. Despite the ease, in some cases adult assistance may be needed.
Materials for the cone:
- Brown paper;
- PVA glue, scissors, a simple pencil.
How to make a paper cone?
Have you noticed that the cone looks like a flower on top and in cross section? So our cone will consist of many flowers of different sizes. Use a template or draw 4 flowers, from large to small. For the craft we will need:
- 8 large flowers - A size (look at the photo);
- 6 colors – size B;
- 4 flowers – size C;
- 5 flowers – size D.
Preparation of components
Redraw according to the template and cut out all these flowers. One sheet of paper may be enough for a cone, but this is only if you carefully save space, draw each flower and cut out each one. But you can significantly shorten the whole process - fold the paper several times and cut out several flowers at once. But in this case there will be more paper.
Cut a rectangle out of paper, slightly smaller than the narrow side of the paper; it is better to cut off the excess later, otherwise the length will not be enough.
Fold the piece into a very thin tube. The work here is quite delicate, since the tube must be dense; the layers of the pine cone will adhere to it. If there are problems with this, it is better to use a kebab stick for this purpose.
Now you need to make a small hole in the center of each flower (children will need adult help) and fold the petals of all the flowers in half to give the flowers volume.
Assembling the cone
All the components of the paper cone are ready, it’s time to put them together. To do this, cut the tip of the tube, bend it to the sides, apply PVA glue at the very bottom and thread the tube into the hole of the flower. Lower it down and press down so that the area with the glue adheres well. If you use a kebab stick instead of a paper tube, you can glue paper to the tip, or tie a wire there, or apply good glue, for example, with a glue gun. This is all done to ensure that the flowers do not slip off the tube or skewer.
Glue all the large size A flowers. First apply glue to the tube, and then stretch the flower to it. Try to make small distances between flowers, no more than 3-4 mm. Thanks to the glue, the flowers will be held in a certain place without moving into one heap.
Glue all the flowers of size B and C in the same way. And leave a couple of the last small ones, size D.
Cut off the excess tube and glue a small flower on top. Then squeeze the last flower in the center so that it puffs up well, and complete the paper cone with it.
This is how beautiful it turned out, almost like the real thing.
You can make a twig for it.
Pine or spruce branch made of corrugated paper
Materials for the branch:
- Green corrugated paper;
- Kebab stick;
- Glue stick, scissors.
How to make a pine or spruce branch from paper?
Cut a long strip of crepe paper. I made a very small branch, but if you need more or two, the strip should be the entire length of the paper.
Fold it several times and cut it into thin strips on one side, somewhere up to the middle or a little more.
You will get a fringe like this.
Now all these stripes need to be twisted into thin needles. Just twist in one direction with two fingers and the paper will curl.
Apply glue to the tip of the corrugated paper and secure it to the top of the kebab stick.
Then wrap this shaggy ribbon around a stick, going a little lower with each turn.
At the very end, secure with glue. I had to shorten the stick a little, but if you want a longer branch, continue working to the end of the stick. That's it, the pine or spruce branch made of corrugated paper is ready.
