Creative Christmas trees are good because they are unusual; they can be created from the most different materials, and edible trees will become a decoration and the main highlight of the New Year's table.
How to make a Christmas tree from plastic bottles?
To make such a fluffy beauty, take:
- green plastic bottles;
- scissors;
- scotch;
- a wooden stick, the diameter of which is slightly smaller than the hole in the neck of the bottle.
Trim the shoulders of the bottle, leaving only the neck. You will put a wooden stick into it. Starting from the bottom, attach the blanks from the bottle here so that the fringe points up.
We decorate the entire trunk, and attach a small part on top, which will become the top.
The blanks must be fastened in such a way that the largest ones are at the bottom and the smallest at the top.
Here's what else a Christmas tree made from plastic bottles can be like. Making one with your own hands is also quite simple.
To reproduce this masterpiece, take:
- green plastic bottles;
- scissors;
- a wooden stick of a suitable size.
Now you need to make diagonal cuts on sides 1 and 2 of each tape. Fold the resulting fragments over one another.
Take the bottom of a large bottle, make a hole in it, insert the neck of the bottle into it, into which a wooden stick is inserted. Secure this part of the structure with a cork by screwing it onto the neck.
Place pre-made parts on the stick, starting with the largest bottle and ending with the smallest one.
If you strung all the parts onto the barrel with the neck down, then place the last one with the neck up. Secure the tree by placing a lid on the top of the tree.
The result was a wonderful tall tree made from plastic bottles. From this container you can make an even larger tree by placing the bottles, for example, on a mop.
If you want to make a cone-shaped tree, then roll a piece of paper or cardboard in this way. Cut off the neck of the bottle and insert a paper blank here. Cut trapezoidal fragments from other parts of the container. Chop the longest edges of each piece into equal strips, not reaching the top 2 cm.
Secure these elements with tape, arranging them in ascending order, starting with large and ending with small.
This is what should happen in the end.
If, for example, you work in a grocery store, then you can put up a large Christmas tree made from plastic bottles, which will certainly attract customers. To do this, you need to arrange the bottles in a circle in rows, and place plywood circles on them. Each subsequent tier is smaller than the diameter of the previous one. There should be 3 bottles left closer to the top; place a star on top.
Even empty plastic bottles will become an excellent decorative element. You can backlight it so that the trees sparkle attractively at dusk.
Other waste materials will also become a picturesque Christmas tree.
Making a Christmas tree out of paper with your own hands - master class
Once magazines are read, they are usually thrown away. But you can do it differently, make a paper tree. To create it, you can use newspapers and old books.
Here is a list of what is needed:
- a sheet of cardboard or whatman paper;
- colorful magazine;
- shaped hole punch;
- glue gun or PVA;
- pencil.
These parts need to be given a rounded shape. To do this, screw each one onto a pencil. Now you can glue them to the base, starting from the bottom.
Place the pieces as close to each other as possible so that the cardboard is not visible between them. Glue in rows, placing the elements on top of each other. Wrap one of them around the top of your head. The paper Christmas tree is ready.
If you like clean lines, then check out the next option.
This tree would be appropriate in an office. On the one hand, it has a strict shape, and on the other, it looks festive. Here's what you need for this craft:
- whatman;
- double tape;
- wrapping paper;
- regular tape;
- decorations;
- scissors.
Roll this base into a ball and secure with tape.
The excess needs to be cut off.
Wrap the cone with wrapping paper. To do this, place it on a work surface, place a cardboard blank on top, and secure it with tape at the top of the head.
Wrap the cone completely, then secure the edges of the paper with double tape and trim off the excess.
The lower part of the tree must also be made flat by removing the paper here with scissors. Decorate the Christmas tree with a star, ribbons, you can decorate it with candies or beads.
Here's what else a paper Christmas tree can be like.
Take:
- skewer;
- designer paper or colored cardboard;
- thick cardboard;
- glue or glue gun.
Here's what kind of paper Christmas tree you can make using polystyrene foam.
For creativity you will need:
- foam or cardboard;
- green corrugated paper;
- scissors;
- adhesive tape;
- masking tape;
- marker;
- PVA glue;
- hook;
- stationery knife.
Cut the strip corrugated paper, chop it with scissors in the form of a fringe, slightly short of reaching the opposite edge. Start gluing these decorated ribbons from the bottom.
When the entire creative tree is decorated in this way, decorate it as you wish. Glue a rectangle of cardboard from the bottom, having previously painted it in brown. But you can do without this part of the trunk. To attach the tree to the wall, use a hook or double tape.
This is what a wonderful Christmas tree came out of paper. Textile models are very interesting; for them you can use leftover material.
Christmas tree made of fabric and threads
To make such a stylish beauty, take:
- felt;
- cardboard;
- scissors;
- double tape or glue.
It is better to take material in two shades, then the creative Christmas tree will look more contrasting.
Roll the cardboard into a cone. You can wrap the bottom part with a small amount of tinsel. Cut felt circles and use scissors to make intersecting sections in the middle. They are needed in order to put the felt blanks on the base, which is what you will do. These X-shaped cuts will also help the circles become wavy.
First put on the larger blanks, then the medium ones, the smallest ones will be on top. When you fill the entire cone, all you have to do is decorate your creation and admire what a beautiful fabric Christmas tree you have made.
You can also make a very cute tree from threads.
To make this, take:
- a cone made of foam plastic or cardboard;
- fleecy yarn;
- pins;
- decorations;
- thick yarn.
When you have formed the entire cone, do not cut these two threads, but now wrap them around the base, moving down.
Cut the thread and secure the remaining end with a pin. Decorate the Christmas tree with beads or buttons, and also attach them with a pin or sewing.
The next creative DIY Christmas tree is made from wire and thread. Help yourself with pliers or round nose pliers, bend a piece of wire so that it looks like a star. Attach a thinner wire to it, which must first be rolled into a cone. Wrap it with threads. You can simply make such a star out of wire and attach it to the top of the blue Christmas tree you just created.
Table on New Year will look amazing if you decorate it with edible Christmas trees. Look how wonderful this strawberry tree looks.
You can make a chocolate base and attach the berries to it with the point outward using a toothpick.
Here are some other original trees you can create from products.

Edible Christmas tree: step-by-step preparation
To make one, take:
- wooden skewer;
- apple;
- cucumbers;
- red and yellow sweet peppers;
- plate.
Place the apple half cut side down on a platter or plate. Stick a skewer into it. Chop the cucumber into not too thin slices.
Place these slices on a skewer, starting with the largest one. Place them in checkerboard pattern or approximately so that they look like Christmas tree branches.
Cut small pieces from red and yellow peppers. Place them on some cucumbers or secure them with toothpicks. Thread an elongated piece of pepper onto the top of the head, closing the skewer on top.
You can decorate a New Year's dish with this tree, for example, a salad. Place a little parsley along the edge of the plate, which will symbolize green grass.
The next tree consists of fruits, berries and vegetables. Take:
- large carrots;
- apple;
- kiwi;
- strawberries;
- toothpicks;
- grape;
- green;
- hole for removing the core from apples.
Wash the apple. Use a special tool to remove the middle from one side. On the other side, make an even cut so that the apple stands firmly on the plate.
Place the carrot in the hole. Stick toothpicks into it. Thread kiwi halves, strawberries and grapes onto them. The star can be cut from a suitable fruit or vegetable, or from a thick piece of cheese. Decorate a plate with greenery to make the tree look even more picturesque.
The next tree is made from apples. To prevent them from darkening, the cut slices should be dipped in a solution of lemon juice for 15 minutes.
First you need to cut out the middle of the apples, then chop these fruits into circles. Using a knife or a special notch, give these blanks a star shape. Place it on a plate and place a slightly smaller piece on top. Adhering to this tactic, lay the Christmas tree to the end. Decorate it with cranberries and physalis.
If you are making a New Year's salad, lay it out in a cone-shaped mound and compact it. Slice the leek leaves to resemble sharp angles. Stick the resulting decorations into the salad so that the leaves turn into twigs. Decorate the Christmas tree with finely chopped carrots.
If you don't have leeks, then you can garnish the salad with dill. Look at the photos to see how to arrange the branches, starting from the bottom.
A creative Christmas tree can be made from many other products.
Cut the cheese into sharp triangles, thread them onto a pre-attached skewer, and garnish with a slice of red pepper. Decorate the plate with tomato and kiwi slices.
If you have green pepper, turn its slices into lush spruce branches and make a New Year's tree from this edible material. Circles and slices of lemon or grapefruit will also become a picturesque decoration for the New Year's table.
If you use kiwi for this, use unripe ones so that the circles stick tightly to the base.
Meat lovers will also not be left at a loss. After all, an edible Christmas tree can be created from salami slices.
Place them on a skewer attached to half an apple and drape the top. Decorate the plate with greenery, and the masterpiece can be placed on the New Year's table.
Vegetarians and connoisseurs proper nutrition They will be able to make a Christmas tree out of broccoli, decorate it with cherry tomatoes, and make a star out of sweet peppers. The asparagus stalks will turn into a tree trunk, and cauliflower- into white snowdrifts.
The basis of the next Christmas tree is a salad, but it is better to take one whose ingredients can be held together well. A dish that contains boiled rice is perfect. We decorate the base with green lettuce leaves, then you need to decorate this edible Christmas tree with peeled shrimp and cherry tomatoes.
If you like Asian cuisine, make the rolls with added greens so that the base has that shade. If they contain caviar, then this ingredient will also act as a decoration. Fold the rolls as shown in the photo to create a comfortable Christmas tree.
Those with a sweet tooth can decorate the base made of polystyrene or foam rubber with candies, attaching them with toothpicks. And if your family likes to eat well, then use small sausages, slices of sausage, tomatoes and lettuce on the base. You can also add other edible ingredients here, thereby delighting those who love a hearty meal.
Gourmets will surely love the horizontal Christmas tree made from tomatoes and different types of cheese - a great opportunity and reason to try them.
If you like a candy tree, attach them to a plastic bottle with tape. And if you don’t know what to give an adult as a New Year’s gift, then use a bottle of champagne as a base, decorating it in this way. Give this present.
If you like to bake, make gingerbread or shortbread dough, roll it out, cut out stars using special notches or just a knife. All that remains is to decorate the baked sweets with white icing and place them on top of each other.
On the New Year's table, even pizza will create the right mood. To do this, when rolling out the dough, cut out a Christmas tree from it, decorate with cherry tomatoes, olives and slices of smoked sausage or chicken pieces. Sprinkle your masterpiece with a little cheese and bake in the oven.
If you have a round pizza, then cut it into triangles, insert an edible straw on the round side, you will get fun portioned Christmas trees.
These are the creative Christmas trees you can create with your own hands. There are other ideas, we suggest you familiarize yourself with them and cheer yourself up.

Christmas tree made of pine cones
Very original Christmas tree You can make it yourself from pine cones. But we will not use the whole cones, but will use only their scales so that the tree is not too bulky.
So, first, let's separate its scales from the cone. This can be done with a sharp knife, wire cutters or pruning shears.
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 roll the paper into a cone, glue it on the sides and cut off the excess at the base.
Then we simply take the scales in our hands and glue them in a circle, starting from the base of the cone.
Everyone is allowed new row You can glue them in a checkerboard pattern, like here, on top of each other.
You can glue a clove to the top of the tree (such a spice))
After the glue has dried, you can start painting our beauty. To do this, you can use spray paint or regular acrylic paint.
If you choose acrylic paint with a metallic effect, your Christmas tree will look much more impressive.
Then we cover the ends of the “twigs” with PVA glue and sprinkle glitter on them.
This is the beauty that results from these simple actions:
Using exactly the same principle, you can decorate the cone with chains and beads, decorative cords, ribbons, braid, etc.

The base is ready, put it aside for now. Now let's move on to napkins. We will make roses from them. Single-layer plain paper napkins are suitable for us.
Take a napkin and cut it along the folds. Then we fold it in three and cut along the folds again.
We fold the resulting strips in three and cut them again. We got a square equal to 1/9 of a napkin.
We fasten this square in the center with a stapler.
Then cut a circle out of it. Mega-precision and accuracy are not required here at all; the finished rose can be slightly adjusted with scissors.
This way a rose is formed. If the finished rose seems uneven to you, you can trim it with scissors.
The number of such flowers depends on the size of your cardboard cone. My Christmas tree was 21cm high and I needed 59 roses for it.
When all the flowers are ready, we return to the cone. Starting from the top of the head, glue the flowers onto the cone so that the base is not visible. I glued it with hot glue (it’s more convenient for me), but ordinary PVA will do.
I made a Christmas tree out of napkins of two colors. If you also decide to create your own craft from multi-colored roses, then you can safely experiment with alternating them on a cone. If the result does not suit you, you can always tear off the flower and re-glue it to another place. In this case, only the lower layer of the flower will be damaged. We simply tear it off (the bottom layer). The rosette will not lose its appearance.
So, we glued the flowers to the cone. The Christmas tree itself is ready and you can stop at this stage.
I also decorated it with beads - I glued it with the same hot glue, PVA won’t help here.

Christmas tree made of plasticine with candies
What do we all associate with wonderful holiday New Year? With the smell of pine needles, bright lights, garlands, sweets. And children still create unusual crafts with your own hands, thereby bringing closer the pleasant moment of the onset of a fabulous night. They love creativity lessons on this topic most of all. It is in crafts that you can realize any fantasies.
We suggest making an elegant Christmas tree that can be easily decorated with candies. Make a craft from plasticine - the cheapest and most popular material. You will definitely make a beautiful souvenir if you follow our tips - they are not complicated.
To sculpt a Christmas tree with your own hands, prepare:
- green plasticine for the crown;
- stump in the form of a cap or an empty spool of thread;
- toothpick, red and white plasticine for candy.
Select a green block of plasticine from the set. The body of the Christmas tree itself will be made from it, and in the future we will make small candies as toys. Of course, a small souvenir does not have to be green; another color that you choose will do. If you manage to find a set on sale that contains a gold bar, then this option will look rich.
Knead the entire prepared block thoroughly in your hands and prepare it for further work. It is necessary to form a cone-shaped crown, and not quite the usual flat one, but a curved one, similar to the cap of a fairy-tale gnome. Since we are talking about a magical holiday, it is not forbidden to fantasize and create something incredible.
Pull all the soft plasticine into a long cone. Make the upper part as sharp as possible, press the lower part around the circumference with your fingers, showing the skirt. Then take and bend the entire structure to the side. Sometimes the Christmas trees do not stretch up perfectly straight, but lean to the side like this.
For modeling Christmas tree decorations– small candies – use white and red plasticine. Form red round tablets ( inner part sweets), as well as white triangles (the twisted part of the candy wrappers).
Glue delicious candies together. Stick on each red round white dot and press in the center with a toothpick. Glue the triangular pieces on the sides.
Make enough decorative details to fill the entire surface of the Christmas tree, evenly distributing the candies around the circumference at some distance.
Glue all the resulting blanks to the crown. Beautiful New Year's craft it's almost ready. Press down a small lid - a stump - from below (or mold it from plasticine).
And the top is still missing. She just begs to be added to the resulting fairytale Christmas tree. Come up with some option, for example the same spruce branches in combination with red berries. All this looks festive and bright.
This is such a fantastic Christmas tree. This is an elegant version of crafts for the New Year, which will become a great gift for your favorite holiday.
The New Year is just around the corner - you need to hurry up to get everything done.
