Prepare scissors, glue, a ruler, a pencil, a needle and thread, and any materials you can find around the house. Everything is used - old newspapers and magazines, colored paper, cardboard, pieces of felt, knitting yarn, ordinary pasta. You may not be able to immediately decide on the material, or the process will take over so much that you will make several Christmas trees.
Simple craft: from a skewer and paper
Base: sushi sticks or wooden skewers. For the crown: fold a sheet of green paper with an accordion, punch in the middle with a hole punch, cut in the shape of a triangle. It remains to string the improvised needles on the trunk, fix, decorate as desired. The final touch is a loop of thread at the top or a stump of packaging cardboard for stability.
Warm felt Christmas tree
You will need pieces of felt or fluffy drape of green, light green, brown colors. However, any shades will do - this is your Christmas tree. Additionally - a little padding polyester, buttons or old jewelry for decoration.
Work: draw and cut two trees of arbitrary shape, place filler between the blanks, sew with straight stitches or over the edge, decorate - the craft is ready.
Beautiful Christmas tree made of paper
Fold a sheet of green paper, as shown in the photo, remove excess - you get a regular triangle. Cut into equal strips, leaving 1-2 cm to fold. Gently wrap the "pine paws" inward and glue. Make a brown stump, decorate with ready-made small pom-poms, funny figures, beads.
Elegant cardboard craft
It is ideal to use two-layer packing cartons. Cut out a triangular workpiece, carefully thread a skewer inside. Cut strips of colored paper, glue randomly in the transverse direction, fix the excess on the seamy side. Stick the barrel into a foam or cork stand, padding polyester or cotton wool will simulate snow.
From magazines and newspapers - 2 options
Cut old magazines (children's, advertising, glossy) into squares of different sizes. String on a skewer sequentially from large to small. Using a minimum amount of glue, sprinkle the "thick branches" with artificial snow, decorate the top.
A thick glossy magazine with sheets on paper clips is almost a ready-made craft for school. It is enough to fold each page diagonally several times, wrap the excess in the lower part inside, if necessary fix it with glue, straighten the crown, decorate.
Crepe paper
Cut strips of various lengths, spread glue on one edge, make arbitrary folds. Collect sequentially - from large to small. It is better to attach it to a base or a sheet of contrasting paper in the form of an applique. Decorate with confetti, snowflakes, stars.
From a plastic bottle
There is a green plastic bottle in the house - a handmade Christmas tree will last more than one season. Separate the neck and fix the paper cone in it. Divide the plastic into pieces and cut into a comb. Secure each element to the base with thin tape.
From toilet paper rolls
We offer two options: make a big fir tree for school, and a small one for kindergarten. The first is suitable if there is time or opportunity to collect a sufficient amount of material. Paint the sleeves green, 2-4 brown for the base. Assemble a tree-shaped structure using glue or double-sided tape, decorate with balls and beads.
For the second option, you only need one bushing. It should be slightly shortened, accentuated with paints or shiny braid.Draw and cut out 4 semicircles, roll them up with a cone, arrange the bottom in the form of a fringe. Collect and decorate consistently.
From threads
And how to make a Christmas tree if there is no desire to mess with glue and time is running out? Craft from threads, even without having the skills of needlework. You just need to wrap the cardboard blank with green yarn in random order. Sew a loop and ready-made pom-poms with a couple of stitches - that's all, you can celebrate the New Year.
For the second option, you still have to glue the cone, but minimal effort is required. Next, wind the threads in a circle, sew on buttons, decorate with beads, snowflakes. You can use a different color of yarn or twine.
Air Christmas trees
You will get an unusual Christmas tree for the New Year if you use an interesting technique. All the same paper cone is wrapped with threads, pre-lubricated with PVA glue. A chaotic location is welcome. After the structure has dried, the base is removed, the tree is decorated.
Green pom-pom fluffs
You will need a template for making pompons or ready-made fluffy balls - sold in needlework stores. You can also buy other elements of the future spruce there. It's easy to assemble it with your own hands. Pompons are tied together or attached to a coiled wire. A soft craft without a frame is put on a plastic cup or bottle.
Lace
Do you want a truly original craft - a vintage style Christmas tree for you. If you are not good at needlework, limit yourself to a simple craft. Lace strips, ribbons, ready-made applications are glued to the paper cone. But you can create a real masterpiece. Difficulty depends on the level of skill and the flight of imagination.
From pasta
New Year 2022 will bring with it a Tiger who never minds a bite to eat. This means that pasta is suitable as a building material. Row by row, individual elements are glued to the base cone, painted from a spray can, decorated, sprinkled with artificial snow. You can make a high-tech silver Christmas tree, pompous gold, standard green. There are even more such ideas here.
Modular paper
How to make a Christmas tree out of paper and at the same time show off your skills - remember or study the basics of the ancient art of origami. Fold the sheet as shown in the photo, remove the excess, cut the strips along the contours, bend inward to add volume, straighten the craft and admire your creation.
Based on a paper cone
Light crafts can be just as effective. It is quite easy to paste over a paper cone with colored circles in the form of needles or individual elements, make it perforated and supplement it with lighting, build a multi-tiered structure from large strips or narrow ribbons. And here you will find other ideas for cone trees.
