Small Christmas trees. DIY Christmas tree as a gift for yourself and your loved ones

A universal selection of gift ideas for any occasion and occasion. Surprise your friends and loved ones! ;)

Hello, dear readers! I was decorating the apartment before the New Year and realized: a DIY Christmas tree could help in decorating the room. And not just one. And not alone

Of course, I had several ideas that I want to bring to life in the near future. But when I tried to find master classes on the Internet on how to create these wonderful creations. Oh, what are they used to make them? I never would have thought of using some materials. So today, together with you, I will admire the masterpieces of human imagination in the field of handmade Christmas trees!

DIY Christmas (and not only) trees: master classes

Almost all Christmas trees presented today are made using different materials. Some are very unusual, artsy, rich. I would even say elite. And others, on the contrary, are as simple and minimalistic as possible in their design. A la Ikea, so to speak.

DIY paper Christmas tree

The largest group today. You will see many representatives of the beautiful spruce species. Each one is different from the others, so choose

Origami

The simplest version of a paper Christmas tree is using a square. Fold the square in half (diagonally), bend the opposite sides to the center (like in an airplane) and that’s it.

Tip: Use this simple trick to decorate a greeting card or fold napkins beautifully.

Angular

First of all, fold a square of paper as shown in the photo. Then:

1. Fold the structure so that the side corners are inside. This will result in a square four times smaller than the original one.
2. Bend the right corner to the center,
3. And left.
4. Fold the right corner to the right.
5. Fold this corner under yourself.
6. Do the same with the second one.

Now turn the structure over and repeat steps 2-6 only for this side. All that remains is to trim the sharp lower tip and make a few cuts on both sides. Then bend each cut end and place the Christmas tree on the table)

Circles

To create this spruce, take paper and draw a circle on it, outlining it as necessary, as in number 1. Next, cut out the circle and cut each section to a small circle. Now wrap each of these small sections on both sides with the tips inward and glue them together. Process the entire circle in this manner.

For spruce you will need several rows. In the photo, for example, you see a beauty made of 15 layers with a cone top. The layers, by the way, are assembled onto wire by piercing the centers of the parts.

Panel for kindergarten

In kindergarten, were you given the task of making a spruce tree together with your child? Then this option is the simplest. Take thick cardboard and colored paper. Cut triangles out of cardboard, cut the paper into strips and overlap them. Even a child can handle this. Cut off the excess. You can glue a skewer at the bottom and stick it into the padding polyester.

Tip: the resulting product can be used as a bookmark.

Making crafts using available materials

To create this semblance of a fluffy-coniferous creature, you will need a long metal pin on a stand and lots and lots of scrap paper. Feel free to use newspapers, old magazines, etc.

Tip: Additional decoration of the Christmas tree can be done using paint in a can, which can be sprayed on the leaves. This will make them stronger and more durable.

Big tree of knowledge

The next beauty will be the spruce tree that brings knowledge. For it you just need to stack all the available books in a pyramid. I highly do not recommend hanging an electric garland, as in the photo: fires happen very often on New Year’s, so don’t neglect it. It’s better to put regular tinsel and balls on the ledges.

From tubes

Incredibly simple technology. Suitable for decorating cards and walls. Prepare several tubes rolled from paper rectangles. Glue each one in the intended place. The tubes can be made gradually smaller or with a “brush” (sometimes placing longer elements higher than necessary).

Glue button or sequin decorations on top.

Fluffy

For this you will need a lot of paper strips, which will need to be glued in layers to a paper cone. And put on a cute cone hat on top. An excellent craft that can be done with children too.

For those who are passionate about quilling

Do you like to twirl paper spirals? Then prepare several strips of paper of the same thickness. Roll 17 pieces into a spiral and narrow one end of each. For the trunk, simply roll 4 tubes and place on a skewer. Glue all parts according to the photo. The tips of the “branches” can be decorated with cylinders of a different color, similar to Christmas tree decorations.

Vytynanka

I remember my sister once mentioned that she liked the so-called vytynanki - one of the types of Slavic folk art, in which amazingly beautiful things are cut out of paper. They are often glued to glass to enhance the festive atmosphere.

And they are made like this: the desired pattern is drawn on paper in advance. IN in this case- spruce, folded in half. And then, using a well-sharpened stationery knife, all unnecessary parts are cut out. For the spruce you will need two parts folded in half, which can later be sewn in the center using a sewing machine or by hand.

Corrugated paper

Continuing the paper theme, I want to show you three simple Christmas trees. The first one, with blue roses, which are made of tissue paper (like corrugated paper, but much thinner). Each rose is created using a strip that is tightly curled at the center and slightly looser towards the end. Thanks to the properties of paper, roses easily straighten and become lush.

The base is again a cone.

The next spruce tree is very similar to the previous one, but here the strips used to create the flowers are cut along the edge, making them very fluffy. They are again rolled into a flower, but they do not try to give the appearance of a rose, but simply soak them as much as possible.

From cupcake tins

Well, that's an interesting idea. I have just a bunch of these molds that seem to never be useful to me (I’d rather buy silicone ones). Cut the bottom from each and cut from one edge. And stick it on paper cone.

By the way, you can use scraps to make a flat Christmas tree for a postcard, as in the photo in the master class.

Fabric Christmas trees

Floral

This beauty will require a lot of circle flowers. For them, cut out several circles of fabric and burn the edges. It is better to take organza, veil or something similar. Then collect each flower on a string and decorate the center.

Spruce again from a paper cone at the base

From felt

To create these tree pendants, use soft (for the base) and thick (for other elements) felt and beads. Patterns can be made directly from the photo. All that remains is to cut out the parts from felt, which then need to be sewn with a running stitch and stuffed. Well, decorate, of course

You can give such a Christmas tree to a guy - it will be very touching

From satin ribbon

Prepare beads, satin or grosgrain ribbon (or maybe even lace?), thread and needle. All you need to do is string beads and ribbon loops onto the thread alternately. The main thing is not to forget to secure it at the beginning and end of the product.

From balls

The essence of creating this wonderful Christmas tree is to create a huge number of fabric balls. For each of them, cut out circles and tie them with thread, laying a running stitch. Put a little padding polyester inside and pull it off. Each such ball must be glued to the base.

The base can be a foam cone, a paper cone, or sewn from fabric. You can also decorate the spruce in the form of a topiary; for this you will also need a pot of polymer clay and sprinkles to create the effect of an earthen mound.

I came up with such a charm in a nautical style:

Other materials or need for invention is cunning

Sorry, dear readers, I in no way want to offend anyone. It’s just that this expression best describes the impossibly diverse number of materials with which people manage to create Christmas trees :))

From beads

A rather complicated, but interesting Christmas tree. To create it, prepare chopped beads, a couple of beads and thin wire for working with beads. First, string the top, as in photo 1. Then make four upper legs - this will be the top.

Now prepare the branches, in each of which make several loops - smaller for the upper branches, larger for the lower ones. Collect them all into one trunk, wrapping it across with thin wire.

From plastic bottles

I respect this master class for its respect for nature and waste recycling. Take a plastic bottle, cut off its smooth central part, which you cut into fringe. The lid will go on the top, the bottom can be used as a supply. Glue all the cut elements to the central rod.

From spools of thread

My friends, if you have a number of wooden thread spools, then know that you are the owner of a treasure with which you can make an amazing tree. To do this, clear all the spools of thread and glue the very bottom row onto a thick round base. Then glue row by row onto the existing ones below. Simple and stylish

From candy

The base will again be a paper cone. Attach a row of regular tinsel to it, then a row of sweets, then again tinsel, etc. On the top you can glue the most delicious candy(as a star). One minus - there will be nothing left of the tree quickly

From the bark

Strict Nordic Christmas trees. Which can be made if you have a paper cone and a little (okay, a little more than a little) bark on hand. The pieces need to be glued in rows so that the tree looks like a spruce.

I just ask that you don’t spoil living trees for this. Better look for something that has already been knocked down by a thunderstorm. By the way, the method with small pieces can also be used with CDs.

From sticks

Let's continue the theme of nature. This time we are decorating holiday boxes. Use chopsticks to lay out a semblance of a tree, which, in turn, decorate with threads, buttons and other decorative details.

From clothespins

I definitely need to make one like this for the New Year))) I have a dozen or two clothespins with hearts, it will be cool) In general, all you need is to build a rod with a stand. For example, a lid with a spoke. And put “branches” on the knitting needle. You can insert lollipops into the edges.

Bohemian

And we will make this spruce using feathers. The principle is the simplest - glue the feathers in rows from the bottom. By the way, feathers can be purchased in woven ones. But I don’t know what they used to paint it green. Maybe someone can tell me?

From wire

Build the frame like this: wrap three circles of wire around something round (cans, buckets, etc.), so that each next circle is smaller (or larger) than the previous one. Then take three pieces and use thin wire to tie them together at the top and in the same place on each circle.

All this can be wrapped in a beautiful garland. If you get creative, you can even hang a few Christmas tree decorations.

Made from mesh (and sisal)

Such a Christmas tree can be built in a few minutes. To do this, take a mesh or a sheet of sisal (read what it is). Place on a paper cone and wrap in several layers. Secure the top with a cord, wrapping it in a spiral around the spruce. Decorate with Christmas tree decorations.

And now is the time for the most minimalist Christmas trees, which will decorate the house and will not take up much space.

From... Christmas balls

Here's a pun - a Christmas tree made of Christmas balls. Nevertheless, it looks great. For some reason I immediately imagined such a structure at some cool corporate event of a large company - it looks very status-worthy.

It’s not at all difficult to make one: take several dozen green (or whatever you want) balls and tie a thin thread or fishing line to each one. The most difficult thing is to measure the length correctly. Do this: Determine for yourself the required number of balls for each row and, based on this, estimate the length of the thread. The higher the ball, the shorter the thread.

Symbol

This is exactly what the next two coniferous trees can be called. The first is located on the wall and is made up of pieces of tinsel imitating fir branches. You can attach it with double-sided tape so that the ends do not stick out.

The second one is simply skillfully assembled with the help of many paintings, icons, souvenirs, etc., which were collected in the likeness of a spruce tree. Notice how some elements seem to imitate toys that are located on the tree. Interesting idea By the way, for an original gift on February 14, winter will still be in force, so a Christmas tree will be quite appropriate.

Well, dear readers, it’s time for me to say goodbye to you. The spruce hit parade is over, share your impressions: what inspired you, what you will take note of, etc. Be sure to tell your friends on social media. networks using the buttons below. Bye!

Sincerely, Anastasia Skoracheva

The original beautiful Christmas tree will decorate the festive interior. Of course, you can’t dance around her, but such a miracle will definitely lift your spirits. This interesting tabletop craft can be made from the simplest things that are found in every home.

Required materials:

• A4 sheet, cardboard;
• dense threads (preferably wool mixture);
• 2 “yolks” from kinders;
• wooden sushi sticks;
• plasticine;
• foam;
• stationery knife;
• stroke corrector;
• red nail polish;
• PVA glue;
• fabric scraps;
• little things for decoration.

Make the frame of the future Christmas tree from A4 sheet - roll it into a ball. Insert foam inside.

Apply glue to the surface of the cone in thin stripes and wind a thread around it.

Secure the end of the thread with glue.

Sushi chopsticks will serve as legs for our beauty. To do this, they need to be painted with a corrector.

While they are drying, make boots from the “yolks”, as shown in the photo.

Fill them halfway with plasticine and wrap them in cloth.

Insert the stick legs into the boots, decorate the Christmas tree with various bows and ribbons. Paint stripes of legs with red varnish. ready!

You can make a hat out of cardboard, cover it with fabric and sew on a pompom.

DIY shabby chic style Christmas tree

Let's make such an amazingly beautiful and original craft in the fashionable shabby chic style.

Required materials.

For the base, take a large paper glass or any plastic container. Separately, dilute alabaster or gypsum with water to the thickness of liquid sour cream and pour it into the future pot. We secure the trunk of our tree, plant the branch in the center and fix it in this position until it hardens.

We make a cone out of cardboard using a stapler.

We make the top of the spruce from wire and foam rubber.

We connect the top to the trunk and attach the cone.

We wrap the base of the tree with white fur.

We cut off the excess from below.

Then we bend the ends of the burlap inward and attach it with hot glue.

Let's get to the fun part - decorating our Christmas tree in shabby chic style.

To create the finished composition we will need a stand.

We make a bench from a bamboo napkin.

From white fur - a snowman.

We attach a bell to the top of the spruce.

We decorate the New Year tree with beads, pearls, flowers, lace, etc.

Apply transparent glue to the very top of the tree.

And sprinkle with artificial snow.

We do the same with the bench.

Our composition " Winter's Tale"Ready!

We will make it from cardboard and single-layer napkins. You will also need beads for decoration.

First of all, let's build a frame for our Christmas tree. We roll a cone out of cardboard, fasten it (I stitched it with thread) and cut off the bottom of the cone exactly so that it can stand.

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.

DIY decorative Christmas tree made from napkins

As you can see, even a beginner can make such beauty, so you can safely involve children in the process.

Christmas tree made of plasticine with candies

What do we all associate with the wonderful New Year holiday? With the smell of pine needles, bright lights, garlands, sweets. And children also create unusual crafts with their own hands, thereby bringing the pleasant moment of the onset of a fabulous night closer. 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.

For sculpting Christmas tree prepare with your own hands:

• 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 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.

To model 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. This beautiful New Year's craft is 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.

DIY felt Christmas tree

Let's make Christmas trees from felt - this is an excellent New Year's decoration and perfect for school or kindergarten.

Prepare for them:

• Set of colored felt;
• cotton wool;
• glue "Moment" transparent;
• any beads;
• threads for knitting and sewing;
• a needle;
• scissors;
• felt-tip pen.

Select matching colors felt. These can be different shades of green. Or you can show your imagination and make an unusual red or blue spruce. Fold a couple of sheets of felt together and draw the shape of a fir tree on the top one.

Cut a piece of felt with a pattern along its entire length and fold it in half as shown in the photo. We do this only if the felt is not very thick, otherwise it will be difficult to cut 4 layers at once.

Cut 4 blanks into shape.

To give them a bulge, put a little cotton wool, as shown in the photo.

Lubricate the edges of the workpiece with glue.

Cut a piece of knitting thread and attach it to the top of the workpiece, directly on the glue. It can be hung from it. Attach the second piece and press along the edge so that both parts stick together.

On a light Christmas tree, make stitches with threads of a darker green color. This will add originality to the craft.

Decorate the second with a border of pearl beads. To do this, make a layer of glue along the edge and place beads on it.

Now let your little one decorate them however he or she wishes. After drying, the craft is ready for use.

Such simple craft will be a great decoration for your Christmas tree. It can be given to grandparents. Older children will be able to do it completely on their own. Using this principle, you can make any felt decorations. Whatever your imagination suggests.

Christmas tree toy made from pasta

Good day, friends!

Soon, soon New Year!
He's in a hurry, he's coming!
Knock on our doors:
“Children, hello, I’m coming to see you!”
We are celebrating the holiday
Decorating the Christmas tree
Hanging toys
Balloons, crackers...

This is how I decided to start today’s post in an unusual way. Which will be dedicated to making them at home. After all, we all traditionally love to give them for the New Year. Namely, I suggest making a Christmas tree from what you have on hand. It can be anything, for example, paper, cotton pads, dry twigs, etc. After all, we all dream of surprising our loved ones with something special and unique. Therefore, if you are still thinking about what to give to mom, dad, etc. then you have a ready-made solution).

Of course, every home has a brightly decorated living “forest beauty” on New Year’s days, which flickers and blinks with multi-colored lights. I suggest making a “little friend” so that she doesn’t get bored. And behind one, your decor in the rooms will be transformed, or perhaps you will place it on the holiday table.

Besides this creative work will bring a lot of positive emotions, and will delight children. Moreover, the winter evenings are long, and you can afford to create something beautiful and green).

Although it doesn’t have to be exactly this color, white is also in fashion. The tree will look as if it is covered in snow or frost.

I’ll start with perhaps the most grandiose and magical tree in my opinion. I suggest you look and study these instructions in order to create such a funny and cheerful beauty for yourself or someone else as a souvenir. The work is made of sisal, who does not know this coarse fiber of a tropical plant.

Just a note. A special feature of this craft is the presence of funny legs instead of a stand. And if you remove them, you will get topiary, which can be made of any material, for example coffee beans or thread.

Well, take action by looking at these pictures and detailed descriptions.

We will need:

• green sisal – 25 g
• Kinder Surprise cases
• heat gun
• polystyrene foam
• wire
• green pencil - 2 pcs.
• colored paper
• green threads
• decorative braid
• any decorations such as balls, beads, etc.
• cardboard

Stages:

1. Take the Kinder case and cut off the lid. For the small part, cut off a small section on one side with a semi-oval, so that you can glue it together later.

2. Using a glue gun, glue the two parts together. This is how the boot will turn out, top top.

3. You should end up with two identical shoes. Make a hole in the largest bottle opener. Have you guessed what it is needed for?

4. Now let’s decorate the shoes. To do this, take a red sheet and cut out two strips 19 cm long and 2 cm wide.

5. Glue the longest strip, wrapping it completely around the shoe and giving it the desired shape.

6. Then glue decorative tape along the entire diameter of the sole for a beautiful appearance.

7. Then take your pencils.

8. Poke them into the prepared holes, and add a little glue so that they hold tightly. The legs are almost ready.

9. All that remains is to decorate them with tinsel, do as shown in this photo below.

11. This is what should come out. What does it remind you of already?

12. Now take the wire and insert it into the tip of the cone. Wrap it in sisal too and tie it with thread.

13. The next step is to make a skirt for the stomper. To do this you need to make pounds. Make rectangles of fabric measuring 10 cm x 9 cm, their number should be from 60-80 pieces. depending on the fullness of the skirt.

14. Then start gluing with a hot-melt gun. In this order. Bend the rectangle in half, but along an oblique line. Secure with glue.

16. Then lift the right edge and glue it together.

17. The funnel is ready. It's really a funny name, even a little funny.

18. Then start assembling the Christmas tree. Glue the blanks in a circle.

19. To create a skirt later.

20. Insert the legs into the base.

21. Then use your imagination and get creative, glue on various kinds of decorations.

22. Glue a bow with beads to the top of the spruce and wrap it around the craft.

23. There will also be snowflakes and rhinestones here. Place the resulting masterpiece on a stand. Good luck.

How to make a voluminous Christmas tree out of paper at home

I think that many have ever thought about this question. After all, schools and kindergartens often give assignments on this topic. I suggest making, for example, a silhouette Christmas tree. To do this, take this sample and print it on office colored sheets.

Then cut out with a stationery knife and glue the blanks together. Use special clamps for this.

You can make a whole forest of such colorful coniferous beauties.

The following work will be completed in 5 minutes. Don't believe me? It couldn’t be simpler; you will need circles of colored double-sided paper and a pencil on a stand. The diameter of the blanks you see below:

1. Fold the circle in half with your hands, so that you get a semicircle.

Do exactly that! Carefully iron the fold with your hands.

2. Now fold the semicircle in half again.

4. And in the same way two more times.

6. And this is what happens. Carefully trim the ends of each piece with scissors.

7. Start assembling the product. Place all the blanks on a stick. From the largest circle to the smallest.

8. The only thing missing is a star or Santa Claus.

I especially found a video for you so that if you need it, you can, in addition to everything else, roll up a grandfather out of paper. A new article will be released soon, in which you will find many works with this hero, but for now, watch the story.

For those who found the first option quite easy and simple, you can take and fold a Christmas tree in origami style; for instructions and description, see below in this film.

Christmas tree made of beads for beginners (diagram inside)

The next creation of nature is wow, cool and at the same time elegant. And such a souvenir will last for more than a dozen years. This is a spruce made of beads. I thought it was impossible to make such a tree myself. But as it turns out, I was wrong. I am sure you will cope with such work with a bang.

We will need:

• green beads – 7 shades
• white beads or transparent
• plate from under the flowerpot
• acrylic paint: white and brown
• wire 0.4 mm
• PVA glue
• ruler
• rod 4 mm and length 2 cm
• tape
• alabaster

1. Place the beads in a cup and mix all the colors. Place beads on the wire in different color sequences and measure 2.5 cm using a ruler. At the same time, leave the edge in the region of 5-7 cm without beads.

2. Make a loop for four circular turns.

3. From the loop, step back 2 cm of wire free and without beads of wire and again count 2.5 cm and make a loop.

4. For the smallest branch, wind 7 loops in this way. Then find the middle and fold it in half and twist the elements together.

5. Thus, you should have this number of branches.

7. Now take the rod and wrap the tape, and then 4 branches with 7 loops to it. The first one is in the center, and the rest are placed below in a circle, twist the stick and wrap it with tape.

6. Next, take 6 branches of 9 loops each. Wrap them in a circle in two tiers of three branches, wind them in a circle. Then step back down about 7 mm and take 5 branches of 11 loops each and wind them in one tier.

7. Retract 7 mm again and wind 6 branches of 11 loops each and again divide them into two tiers. And so on. The final stage is 5 branches of 7 loops.

Rewind the remaining barrel with brown tape. Spread the branches to make the tree lush.

8. Bend the table at 90 degrees and place it in a cup from under the flowerpot. Pour alabaster solution into it and let it dry.

9. Wait until the tree sets; you can also plant any symbol of the New Year. For example, a pig or a rat.

Make a thick solution of PVA glue and alabaster, dip it in a kitchen napkin and glue it to the trunk. To get a natural look.

10. After complete hardening, start painting, but first remove the product from the cup. Paint the trunk brown and the platform white.

11. Decorate with large beads in the form of toys or something else.

Now a few more instructions that I found on the Internet.

But this model is somewhat similar to the first one, maybe someone will like this one more.

And look how lovely it is.

Well, in conclusion, I would like to show one more example of a flat spruce tree, which you can use as a pendant or keychain.

So, first, let's separate its scales from the cone. This can be done with a sharp knife, wire cutters or pruning shears.

3.

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 spice like cloves to the very top of your head)

Handmade New Year's toys are always something special. They bring warmth and homeliness and are certainly an interesting gift. In addition, they are always original and will undoubtedly attract the attention of all guests.

At the same time, do New Year's toys It’s not at all difficult to do it yourself. Let's start with these Christmas trees :)

To begin, we will cut out blanks for future Christmas trees from thick cardboard (my Christmas trees are 12 cm high and 9 cm wide). I use kraft cardboard for this - it is thick enough to withstand a wide variety of manipulations, and also pleasant to look at.

Option 1. Lace plus paper. Production time 15 minutes.

By using sewing machine Sew cotton lace to the bottom edge of the Christmas tree. In order not to make a mistake with the length of a piece of lace, I first sew it on and then cut it off.

We retreat from the sewn edge a distance of about one and a half times greater than the width of the lace, and sew on the next frill. To prevent the lace from creeping up or down during the sewing process, I make a mark with a pencil where I need to arrive.

In the same way we sew all the frills onto the Christmas tree.

From scrapbooking paper we cut out pieces one and a half times wider than the width of the lace, one of the long edges of which is made into lace using a hole punch or curly scissors.

Carefully glue the strips under the lace, and sew them on a machine if desired.

We make the top like this.

We cut off the excess paper. As a result, we get a Christmas tree like this. You can apply glitter, snow flakes, glue pearls on it - in general, decorate it to your liking.

The reverse looks like this, but that doesn’t bother us for now :), we’ll deal with it a little later.

Variants of the same Christmas tree: instead of paper lace, you can use any ribbons sewn in the same way as lace; or decorative ribbons with roses

Option 2. Lace plus mini buttons. Production time 15 minutes.

We start in the same way as in the first option - sew on the lace.

We wait 1-2 minutes for the glue to “set” a little, after which we glue mini-buttons onto it in a chaotic manner.

In general, I am a big fan of sewn buttons, but in this case my hand trembled :), and I decided to put the needle and thread aside and use a simpler and faster method.

Other variations on the same theme: instead of mini-buttons - any ordinary buttons or rhinestones or pearls or small paper roses.

OPTION 6

From tinsel

OPTION 7

A simpler version of a Christmas tree made from ribbons is to simply attach a ribbon folded in half to the base. Moreover, you can attach it as satin ribbons, and paper (paper for scrapbooking).

OPTION 8

OPTION 9

New Year is not only about gifts and lots of goodies. On the eve of the holiday, you can give your child the joy of creativity and self-expression. Admiring an already “decorated” Christmas tree is, of course, great, but it’s much more interesting to make decorations with my own hands and watch how the house gradually turns into a fabulous New Year's forest! What would a forest be like without a Christmas tree? We invite you to make an amazing New Year tree, which will be an excellent holiday decoration for your home.

To work we need thick green paper, glue, scissors, a round wooden stick and a bead.

1. Cut out 3-4 circles of different diameters from thick green paper. We fold each circle in half four times and draw it along the fold line several times with a hard object. Using scissors, cut a small piece from the top of each folded circle.

2. Take a wooden stick and place the smallest circle on it. The tip of the stick should protrude no more than 5 mm. Carefully place the remaining circles through the bottom of the stick. Lubricate the hole in the top of the largest circle with glue and attach the circle to the stick with glue. This is how we fix our entire structure.

3. Now our Christmas tree can be attached to the base. For example, a wine cork. We put a bead on the top of the Christmas tree, where we left a gap of 5 mm. Our Christmas tree is ready!

OPTION 10

DIY New Year's toy - “coffee tree”

It often happens that the holidays are already on the doorstep, but you are still not in a festive mood. And I really want, like in childhood, to wait for the arrival of the New Year, miracles, gifts and the fulfillment of desires. From my own experience, I can say that mood is born from little things and often comes in the creative process. To feel the coming holidays, you can decorate your apartment for the New Year, start cooking or making something special. For example, a fragrant Christmas tree made of fabric and coffee. Why not? Moreover, you need few materials for this wonderful New Year tree.

Materials for creation coffee tree with your own hands:
sheet of cardboard small jar, for example, from under baby food coffee beans a small piece of fabric or burlap varnish (you can do without coating) Almost everyone also has the tools necessary for the work.

Tools for making a Christmas tree from coffee beans and fabric:
tweezers compasses glue (it is very convenient to use a hot glue gun) brush scissors needle and thread We do not indicate the sizes and quantities, since it all depends on what materials you use, as well as on the expected size of the Christmas tree. The process of creating this tree is simple and exciting. You can turn on some favorite New Year's movie in the background, and you will immediately feel that New Year It’s already very close, and miracles are knocking on the door.

Making a coffee tree with your own hands
We make a cone from cardboard or thick paper. If you need a larger Christmas tree, you can use leftover wallpaper for the base. We glue the cone well around the edges. We put it on the table, check that it should be stable and tight.

We select a suitable size jar with a screw-on lid for the base.

Glue coffee beans onto the jar. The grains need to be glued on the same side, so the jar will look neater. It is convenient to take the grains with tweezers to protect your fingers from glue and burns (if you use a hot glue gun).

When the coffee beans are securely attached to the can, we proceed to the second layer, which we use to close any possible cracks and gaps between the beans.

The result should be a jar that looks like it consists of coffee beans. Only the neck is not covered so that the jar can be closed with a lid. The grains on the jar can be varnished. Then the leg of the tree will be smoother and glossier, but this will reduce the coffee aroma.

Let's get to the Christmas tree itself. If the size of the Christmas tree is large, and the frame (cardboard cone) does not seem rigid and stable enough, then it can be strengthened by simply filling it with something from the inside. This could be paper, napkins, fabric, etc. We cut the fabric or burlap for the external decoration of the Christmas tree to the size of the cone.

Glue the fabric to the cone, stretching and smoothing it.

Cover the bottom with a circle of cardboard.

We also cover the circle with cloth.

We will decorate the Christmas tree with patches. To do this, cut out identical small squares from fabric.

We remove several threads along the edges of the squares to form a neat fringe.

We glue the patches to the fabric on the cone. Glue coffee beans to the corners of each patch. This way we decorate the entire cone.

8.

Now that the cone and jar are ready, let's move on to the lid of the jar. It must be decorated and glued to the bottom of the cone. If desired, it can be decorated with coffee beans (gluing the edges with them) or fabric (we will dwell on this method in more detail). Cut a thin strip from the fabric. Using a needle and thread, we form equal folds on a strip of fabric, and then glue the fabric to the lid.

All that's left is to glue the lid to the bottom of the cone.

New Year's decoration is ready! It can also serve a nice gift, both on its own and as a jar of coffee. New Year's decoration Festive mood and miracles to you!

3. Before you start decorating the tree, a finished cone or a homemade paper cap shape is secured to the trunk with glue.

4. The resulting paper base must be covered with several layers of lace and braid, and after it has dried, generously decorate it as desired.

5. In order for the tree to stand steadily, the trunk holding it must be installed in a glass filled with glue or filled with plasticine, and then fixed in this form until the gluing mass hardens.

Christmas tree made of buttons

Christmas tree made from buttons

A beautiful Christmas tree will turn out if there are unnecessary buttons in the house. You can make it using pins or glue. In the first case, after the holidays the tree can be dismantled until the next celebrations.

In order to make a Christmas tree from buttons and pins, it is advisable to take a ready-made foam cone. This frame will hold the pins tightly and prevent them from falling out. To make the tree look more interesting, it is advisable to wrap it in a fabric that matches the color of the accessories. Then, using pins, each button is threaded onto the base in turn.

The option with glue does not require a thick base, so in this case you can resort to a form made of cardboard or thick paper, folding it into the shape of a cap. Next, the cone must be coated with paints of the desired color or covered with wrapping paper. Once dry, use hot glue to just glue the buttons tightly together.
